Wooooooo! First ride of the season.
« on: April 26, 2018, 11:13:52 AM »
After a long, cold prairie winter that never wanted to end... I was on the road this morning.

Sure... it was a 35 km commute to work. Sure... it's on my wife's bike, since mine is on the table waiting for parts...

But it was a ride!

Also, I have to say, this it the first time riding my wife's V7 since she put the "Golden Tyre"  Scrambler tires on it. They make a HUGE difference on gravel and sand over the Sport Demons (not a big surprise, really... but still).

Now... as soon as my clutch cable and swingarm boot get here... I can report on the Heidenau Scout 60s.

Don't know where you live toecutter but I empathize and applaud you. It has been a never ending winter.
This weekend my driveway may have an ice free path to the asphalt and I'll be able to join the ranks of the mobile too.

Numbercruncher.... they're the stock tires on the Stornello.

My wife needed something more dirt-road worthy, and the dealer had a set of them sitting around. She quite likes them, and I have to say... they make a noticeable difference over stock when the pavement ends.
