Hope cables hose wiring can reach without problems , cause I think she’s gonna get some of her evil back. The bends on either side of the clamps are further out and when your over fork looking down , your looking straight down the fork legs like a race bike , the other bars hid that view.

First dry day in a week , blue sky above , clean dry roads below. A perfect morning to disappear into the farm roads south of town. Avoid people and traffic , just me & the tracker. Some ram air induction to clear the head & a long therapy session. Maybe collect some data , but this is ride to enjoy  the big single , I’m in a desperate need of some  “Thump Therapy “ and an even greater need to get away from people. Time to silence the voices in my head.

I have come a long way with mine, but there is still a looong way to go.  Glad to hear you are out enjoying yours!

Grips appear to be secure to the bars , used hairspray on the throttle side to plastic throttle sleeve. However hairspray failed on the left against the smooth chrome bars. Found paint thinner reacts to rubber grip and so far it’s as good or better than most grip glues. Yeah maybe I’m just a little paranoid about my grips after that one handed wheelie. Absolutely love the wide bars super comfy and look even better. I’m gonna use the same bars on my SR500 too , but in a 7/8”. Hip is painful when all tucked in so I just rest left leg on top of the peg near the top of my boot. I have to adapt and overcome this problem , just can’t hold that folded up position for long. Not like I use that position a lot, but after 50 years it’s just part of how I was taught how to ride/slide. I have to adapt and leg on the peg is working.
Sunday morning , early before it gets hot , cool damp morning air really lets her put down some good passes. Once it’s hot it’s harder to get that last few mph. Running only one mirror , that mirror causes an unstable condition above 90 mph ,  no mirrors , on speed runs , but bring it with case I get pulled over , tell them it came loose. At 90+ ya dont want a wobble , huh

Neither are Weebles.  

Another eventless 40 mile ride , so I did some 0-60 runs for cheap fun. Went by a builder friends place to check out his Suzuki 500 twin smoker , one of the worst handling bikes. It’s cafe style with long sexy chambers it’s cool I’m sure it fast , had to secure a chance to take it for a spin. He’s got 8-9 bikes , we met on another forum. I’ve sold him some stuff before. So he didn’t see what I was riding. So I kinda lead him in that direction , when he saw what I was riding the conversation turned for his project to mine. After a few minutes I asked him if he wanted to take it for a spin , he couldn’t believe I was going to let him ride it. He absolutely does not ride like me , a calm ,reserved, mature rider so my bike was safe , I wasn’t even worried about the bike. Now me I ride like I had 4 cups of joe and a bowl full of crank for breakfast , kinda like riding with your hair on fire. So he really really likes my bike even if it’s a tad small for him. So we are planning an early morning ride on the tracker and his SR500. After riding my bike he made a comment about building a Savage
So let me recap this , a nice 40 ride , secured a ride on a rocket ship , watched while the first person rode my bike , and may have recruited a new member fo SS ! A good day
