Title: Re: It's the first day of Spring. . . Post by: fastwin on March 22, 2010, 04:26:37 AM Crazy Texas spring weather!! [bang] Friday it was 72-74 degrees and beautifully sunny. Saturday it was 40+ degrees and raining with some snow pellets. Yesterday it was 34 and 2-3 inches of snow and a 40+mph wind. Tomorrow I'm going on a 275 mile ride with a friend and it will be back to 75 and sunny!! [roll]
It's time to dust them off and rack up some miles! [thumbsup] Mike-D, hope you enjoyed the ride... how could you not? [clap] Title: Re: It's the first day of Spring. . . Post by: WhiteStripe on March 22, 2010, 05:18:00 AM Nice bike! Mine is nearly identical - but white wheels.
Those appear to be Arrow cans? What did you do to eliminate the yellow plate? I was thinking about drilling out the rivets removing and replacing with black rivets, but was a little concerned with discoloration? Thansk. Tim Title: Re: It's the first day of Spring. . .

Title: Re: It's the first day of Spring. . . Post by: Mike_D on March 22, 2010, 11:02:02 AM Thanks everyone for the compliments. . .I still have some things I want to do--rearsets, Rizoma fluid reservoirs, an ohlins steering damper.
The ride was, to use Iamhybris's word, "glorious." Low 70s and sunny with no wind. The bike ran great and although the 175-mile ride helped to shake off some of the winter rust, there were a couple of instances in the curves where I indeed felt rusty. Still, I can't wait for the next ride. As for your question Tim, my Arrows did not come with the yellow plate riveted on the can--just a couple of stickers laying in the bottom of the box. Happy [moto] everyone! Title: Re: It's the first day of Spring. . . Post by: FastAndLight on March 22, 2010, 02:05:51 PM ...and my bike is still in the shop. [roll]

Seems your bike is always in the shop. Why this time? Title: Re: It's the first day of Spring. . . Post by: FastAndLight on March 22, 2010, 02:23:41 PM Ha! Not fair...
Getting all the parts I bought while in Iraq put on and having the suspension rebuilt. I wasn't comfortable doing the suspension work myself. It should be done real soon, I just need to give them a call. |
