Rode the bike an additional 50 miles last night. I did my old standby midnight ride that I haven’t done in nearly a year, a tour of Wilmington (including a bit of dirt road!), over the Henry Ford Bridge to Terminal Island, across the Vincent Thomas bridge to San Pedro, then a circuit through some of the more fun roads of Palos Verdes before going home.
There’s a few things to see along the way.
I had re-aimed my spotlamps earlier this week, I figured I would test them out:
Before aiming:
After aiming:
Much better.
The ride went well, the bike performed flawlessly, the only complaint was a rattle somewhere up front.
When I got home I noticed two gripes.
1: As expected the side stand repair didn’t hold, it’s already starting to bend out. I’ll need to address that today.
2: My brand new turn signal broke. I don’t believe I came into contact with it, I guess it just can’t handle the vibes of a thumper. A bit annoying since I got OCD with the wiring on that lamp.
