Title: Rode west,.. went north...
Post by Serowbot on 11/21/15 at 17:28:27

Nice day, near 80f...
Headed west,.. but, I forgot, today is the Tour de Tucson bike race... 110 mile loop around the city...
Traffic at every crossing west was backed up crazy.
So, we detoured north...
Ended up 60 miles north, and found a fantastic stretch of rode I never knew existed...
I'm gonna name it the Detour de Tucson... ;D...

Here's a couple pic's...
Picacho Peak...

Nice pics, looks beautiful  8-)

Can I ask about your tank, is it chromed? Looks great, what did that involve?

The tank is chromed,... and it is a mystery...
A gift from a friend... who probably knows it was pricey enough that I wouldn't have accepted it if I knew...
It sure get's attention... 8-)...

I just want to know where I can get one of those mud flaps?  

Best regards,

The mudflaps are just cut from running rubber floor mat material, bought at Ace hardware...
It's like, $4 per running ft. 3' wide...
$4 worth will make front and rear mudguards, re-sole 2 pair of boots, make cushions for your seat lift, and line yer' tool box...
Great stuff...
Comes in 3 grades
I used the thickest stuff for the flaps,... thinnest for the tank stripe and knee pads...
;)...

My bike's other major quirk, is the pedals...
(for when I need that extra boost to light speed!)... ;D...
