So on Fridays drying the summer they encourage us to only work until noon. That’s all I needed to hop on the Interstate and test ride the shocks.
I didn’t know where I was headed. It was either south or west or a combination of the two.
It’s only about 75 miles to the coast so that’s where I ended up. Plus it was slightly cooler there. This bike hasn’t been on the Oregon Coast in about 25 years.
The shocks definitely help although the rear sets help a ton. They put your feet right under your hips. I do need to rotate the kickstarter forward at least one notch.
It was some 150 flawless miles or so. I think the next area to address is the seat. The old foam just doesn’t sit right.
Still it was great just to get out for a nice ride, beautiful scenery and a wonderful bike.
