Lifting the front end…

There are so many moments with motorcycles where you go “aha!” I think to myself.
Haven’t you experienced that?

Like how the upper cowl looks cool from an unexpected angle.
Owning it is fun, looking at it is fun, getting tempted by Yahoo Auctions is fun\u2014I think that’s one of the pleasures too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Well, calling it tissue isn’t quite right, but I sometimes think if we sealed something inside with constant light lubrication and dust-blocking properties, wouldn’t the inner tubes last longer? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The oil was about due for a change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the inner tubes are heading off for re-plating. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
