Thanks. Not so bad in the San Francisco area, but lots of smoke. It is slowly getting better. Still able to ride so that's good !!
New tires for the rebel today. Made a big difference, the old front was shot, and looked even worse when I got it dismounted. Pirelli route 66 and new tubes. Rides smooth now. I didn't realize how much the front was wandering around with the old front until I replaced it.
I love all of this, crane op! Your daughter is a cutie. And she’s blessed with a great dad and mentor. I have a good friend and riding buddy who’s right up your alley in terms of not wanting to be like everyone else. With that as his MO, he has wound up with the following three bikes in his garage: A 1998 Valkyrie, A 2008 Victory Hammer in bright orange. And a 2008 Rocket 3. Love your story about your journey that led you to your America.
I like your teaching style . Starting with capturing the basics , until they are automatic and instinctively carried out. I taught the son of a friend the same way , didn't get on to a public road until he could stop properly. He's still riding and it's getting close to 18/20 years since the first lesson.
