Topic: Saturday was a great day for riding

[Kevin D]

After a dismal, cloudy start, the sun burst out about 11am and warmed up the air making for a great day of riding. I managed 130 miles through the Michigan countryside. Had lunch at Smittys in Hell, yes Hell, Michigan, a popular biker stop. I heard a couple "I used to have one of them" from the Harley guys, but as for me, I still can't believe that my bike is looking so good, and running pretty good too. I just love those 6500rpm shifts.

I can't wait for my next ride.

She's looking good Kevin. Actually, great!

So, Kevin how often do you GO TO HELL? 
Wasn't too bad here in the Chicago suburbs either.  Neither myself or the bike went to Hell.....

[nickjtc]

So what's it like to go to Hell and back....?

[eldar]

Hey Hell has to be better than Embarrass, MN

[nickjtc]

I've been to Six Mile Bottom and back....

[eldar]

six mile bottom huh. Well I suppose that is better than six mile WIDE!

[Steve F]

I think it may be fun to live in Intercourse 

[mlinder]

Went here the other day. Was pretty disappointing....

[clarkjh]

I always liked "Virgin Cove"

I should have mentioned that my bike was blessed for the first time ever, by Pastor Ken, just before my ride into Hell.

Hell is about a 3 hour roundtrip from Detroit, and is near some of SE Michigans best cycle roads - which are nice but not in the same league as many other places. Scenic but not too challenging.

Hey Bob Wessner, where is that Candy Red K0? Is it out and about or still coming together?

[Bob Wessner]

Kevin,

Still coming together. Finally got around to starting to put it back together today. Got stumped right off the bat with the forks and ears. When I removed them a couple of months ago prior to taking all for painting I tried cleaning up the rubber grommets at the top and bottom of the fork ears. Sprayed them with some silicone and just left them for the time being. Big mistake. The solvent carrier seems to have caused them to swell. Now nothing fits. Waiting on some replacements, which in retrospect would have been a good idea.. but a better idea had I done it two months ago.

my bike had been living in my brothers garage for the last 2 1/2 years,finally got it home on sunday,man that was a sweet ride.i love riding my honda.

Duster, my CB was parked for 15 years while I raised 4 kids and worked too much. If I had a do over, I'd work less and ride more. I got chills up and down my spine on my first return ride.
