So just after completing my bike yesterday I decided to take her for a short test ride...I live in joshua tree, ca and a short test ride for me is generally about 100 mis round trip, so I decided id ride just down past palm springs and eat dinner at buffalo wild wings...
I do this ridw for most test rides if the bike is running well enough to get there its a good place to celebrate success...
So I start riding I stop to get gas about 15 mis away to make sure all bolts, nuts, and screws are still tight... I then continue on stopping 20 min. Later to check tire pressure just in case dure to a short twisty down hill...i then continue on...just down the other side I take a detour to avoid a high winds area...this detour is of course also windy, but not quite as bad...i get to the highway and the winds are heavy but not too bad, so I continue on...i get to buffalo's just about 830 pm...all is beautiful, warm and I sit outside to enjoy the evening and celebrate with some, half@$$ed ny style wings...keep in mind im from ny so I know the difference...i encourage everyone try this place though cause ita the closeat thing ur gooing to get in CA...A+ for effort...B- for accomplishment... I eat my wings and I go back out to my bike about 1030... I get out to my bike to find I parked too close to the grass and have sprinkler juice overspray on my bike...i call it juice because its non-potible and generaly recycled from waste water straight from toilette I think...it smells that way anyway... So I dry my bike as best I can and start out for home...i get up on the highway and about 3 milea down the road tje wind has gotten extremely windy... I ride another 3 miles or so and I can barely keep my bike in the lane... I try to move left in the lane because im almost on the white line, I lean hrd left and to no avail cannot get my bike to go left...i lean harder hard enough to scrape pegs and I finally start to move left...deciding this is too dangerous, I get off at the next exit...barely keeping the bike on the road I successfully pull in to a chevron/jack in the box...i decide to wait out tje wind for awhile... At midnight I call it quits and sleep next to my bike behind the gas station...i get up around 6am get breakfast at J in theB and a coffee at gas station...and here I sit posting my ride report...so if your in socal today, watch out for the wind... if u end up at the same gas station im gonna have my truck delivered to me to take my bike home around 430 if I cant leave before then...if u are around here and also need a tow I can have my trailer brought down here too and give u a ride too...16 foot trailer so I can fit about five bikes comfortably...im at Palm exit off I10 near palm springs heading west...
