stands didn't fold but for some reason the front calipers are hanging up real bad. not happy. may have to take them apart and clean them out. they look real nasty.. probably have never been done properly. Sad Guess i'm riding the zuki tomorrow!

It looks like the previous owner hit a curb. The front wheel is all scratched up on the rim as well. Oh well. I guess that's what you get when you buy a used bike sometimes.

Boo... but yeah. Used can save or cost.

Wheel still true? That's the big 'un

If you feel like going bling bling on the front axle

Got one for $85 from the dealer. Wheel seemed to spin true on the balancer.

I didnt look over the bike all that much when i bought it really. Didnt even run because the battery was dead. But had my heart set on it anyways. Could have been much worse! Had the important paperwork showing the belts and valves were done on schedule by a dealer though. I would do it again. Haha.

IF the front feels ok, don't rush on it. But when it comes time for a service it might be worth it send them off to a sop that can check for any tweaks.

I've been sending off to Traxxion down in GA.

Took a trip to Vienne Metro today to grab the NOVA ADV Tag. Ugh. I hate the NOVA area. No specific issues, just ugh.. I remember why i moved out of this area every time i go past Manassas.

Traffic. Lines. Waiting. Stoplights. Traffic. Concrete. Traffic...

I commute in to Manassas everyday from Strasburg. I hit 3 stoplights in, 3 stoplights out.

Well, ran into a little bit of rain today. New Road 4's do really well in the rain.
