I have been doing some work to get ready for the Gap. I replaced brakes and tires and did a lot of cleaning. I went to take it for a ride yesterday and the rear tire had no grip and slid out from under me in a turn.
Fortunately, I was wearing my riding gear. However, I have multiple broken ribs and a severely bruised shoulder. I have not assessed the bike yet, but but I know the shifter is twisted around and left side turn signals are broken off. I was able to ride it home, so I am guessing everything is cosmetic. While repairs on the bike may be easy, my body may not be up to it. I had no idea that the tire would be that slick. I don't think I got any grease or oil on it. I may be left with riding the KE175 at the Gap or the Honda Hawk if I can get the left carb tweeked. Ya know, these ribs seem to hurt a lot more when you are 60 years old. To top that off, I broke my watch!
