Earache

Chaparral Motorsport in San Bernadino, Iron Pony in Columbus, Ohio and a few others are bigger as they are also multi-line motorcycle dealerships as well. This one is a "accessories only" place so it's smaller. Still, big place with lots of stuff in it.

Also had to go to the local Honda dealer for an oil filter. They have tons of cool bikes there...

It's an accessories only shop - no bikes. But the owner has some cool bikes that he puts on display. Like this Kawasaki - new in the crate ....

Not the biggest shop in the World - but pretty big, but they always have everything that I've ever needed....

Had to wait about 45 minutes to get tires mounted ands balanced today, so I took some snaps of our local shop while I waited. Thought you guys might be interested in seeing it...

I gots new tires! At this point in my life, that's pretty exciting news!

Those were right at $400 / Euro 366 / 322 pounds - but that's also a wide 200 series rear tire so it's gonna cost more than ADV tires I buy for the Tenere - which are a lot cheaper.

That only took 3 hours..... Got the rims off of the Goldwing today. Front came off really easy but the rear was a pain in the ass. Five lug nuts - as you would have on a car - that were really stuck on there. Had to use an impact gun to get them off. Hope they go back on easier. Off to the bike shop with them to get new tires mounted in the morning...

Makes sense as you don't have any forests - I mean comparatively.

Lots of them out there - sitting abandoned with no one in them. Don't see a lot of people in them in the summer, either. I guess they're just rotting away.

It's as painful as a HD report, but there's no breakdown pictures.

Yes - closed.

I freakin' hope so ! It's been a long, cold, snowy winter and I'm ready for it to be over. But I know we'll get hammered with 12'+ snow again at least once in the next 1-2 months.

Riding to Texas in two weeks (hopefully) and will have bike content in those pictures - promise!

Driving in a black car made it pretty warm inside - so we had the sunroof open for a lot of the ride...

Being Easter, I expected a lot more people to be out driving around - but we didn't see too many others....

..but more of a "drive" report as it's too sloppy, cold and shitty out to ride yet. But it was about 1C today and bright Sun, so took the wife out for a cruise in the neighborhood....

Zoom in and you can see our traffic light. We're oh so proud of that.

It's gay all right - just not Harley Davidson gay.....

That looks great !

Then you'd love it here in Black Hawk, Colorado (population 128). Close to nothing but wild animals.

Might seem mundane, but I'd like to see pics from the various towns you go to - just to see what they're like. Shops, restaurants, etc.
