I rotated my tires today.
The tire that was on the back... it looks messed up dudes. I have never seen a tire with so much cupping.
Well it's up front now, and the near-new looking tire is on back.

Rode to Wally World and RadioShack Picked up a socket set and some electrical things to put on the trailtech with. Tested the new tires. They stick to the road like glue.

Went for a ride with my friend Tucker. I rode the Zuma, he rode the Vino. He said, you really need to put a 70cc kit on that, I said pull over. I rode the Vino for the rest of the ride.  |

Put all my freshly painted fairings together. Now Its begging for me to paint the wheels, cvt cover, and fan shroud BUT first things first!! I ordered up a set of malossi gears (I hope these are right... The Polini and Athena gears I had before were both wrong and.... I just hope from these are it lol 3rd times the charm right?), a shock extender/ riser (Keep that exhaust off the ground.), and a kickstand from www.racingplanetusa.com |

Im always itching to ride so I never got around to painting my scooter... Well in a unfortunate turn of events I fell victim to someones inattentiveness, and got hit on my motorcycle  . It left me with a badly broken ankle, and my bike needing a new rim and some other small items... So while I cant ride the scoot or the bike until I heal, Its a perfect time for painting the scoot! So today, I took all my plastics apart and stripped em to get them ready for primer and paint.  Ouch. I feel for ya man. Ya before I got my scooter I wouldn't care if someone almost hit me. I even got hit once and even then I didn't care. But I get road rage for stupid drivers when I'm riding my scooter. I just feel so venerable. |

Went out for a couple of test runs this morning and had birds try to hit me on each ride.  Does the summer solstice make the birds go nuts or something? |

Lol! Makes them CooCoo! Road to work on a road that's been stripped and surfaced for repaving. That was a treat. Had to kind of just let the bike wonder from left to right like a truck in deep mud ruts.

They're paving a few areas around here too. Reminds me of a dirt road or the feeling you get riding over grates like a bridge, but at least there are no loose spots on the cut asphalt or grating to surprise you. I was looking at the expansion joints on a bridge near the beach with these big gaps on a hot day. They have signs to warn motorcycles about the expansion joints but I'm thinking those suckers might partially swallow a little 10" wheel/tire combo.

Yep lots of draw bridges around here. I've found if you ride across them diagonally from one side to the other it works best.
