Finally have started to get the 501 dialed in....shock and fork springs, tires that I can live with, and cutting off the license plate holder (the new one that I bought to replace the one that the rear tire ate). The bike has close to 500 miles on it now. It would have had more if I hadn't wrecked my ankle...but oh well. So it has been hot, and the mountains have been getting some thunder storms. So I decided to go up to the San Bernardino mountains for a little spin yesterday. Humid and partly cloudy with a high temperature of around 80, it was short sleeve shirt weather for sure. A few rain sprinkles came down in the afternoon, and even a tiny bit of sleet mixed in at one point. Not too many trail riders out and about. I did a nice 90 mile loop with a lunch stop at my favorite restaurant in Big Bear. There were lots of left over puddles from the recent downpours for the bike and I to play in. It was bikey's first mud dousing. I'm really starting to enjoy the benefits and features that the mighty FE has to offer.
Who ran over the cat on you mud guard-the blaggard. Good to see you back on the big girl and playing in your natural surrounds DD. Yep nothing like a big bore for excitement. I put a G2 throttle tamer on my Beta 480 it has been a life saver coming down very steep inclines and inadvertently twisting the accelerator on a bump. As about the only person to post photos many thanks for the effort DD.
