Sunday riding with Heather

A highschool chum, Heather, and I went riding on Sunday.  She bought a Buell motorcycle.  She keeps up great with old Black Betty!

Riding this weekend

I went riding this weekend (of course).  Ralph, Dale and I went out in Indiana, Borden, Deems Lake, etc.  We stopped at the Chicken House for lunch.  It was a pretty good day Saturday.  Felix met us at Sister Bean for sendoff. ;o)

Waterford

Here's the Waterford sign.

Taylorsville

Went on a quick route this past Wednesday.  I saw three places on the map that I wanted to try and get pictures at.  Yoder, Thixton and Routt.  Alas, all were too small to have city signs, post offices, schools, or churches of their own, so no luck.  I did get Taylorsville and Waterford.  Here's the Taylorsville sign...

Devastation Ride End

After all the crazy riding conditions, Ralph split off to meet his wife at the mall, while Jim and I sat at Flanagan's (power was out), had a beer and talked for a bit.

Jim & Ralph coming home

We decided to cut the ride short and come home while we could STILL get home. So many downed trees and lines...we even had to detour and take a second choice bridge. The wind on the bridge was very treacherous! Kids, do not try this at home!

Devastation Ride

The two guys here, Jim and Ralph, very stalwart souls--took a ride with me Sunday when we had some really serious weather here in Kentuckiana. Good experience, but caution was definitely required!

Jeffersonville, IN

This is the shot I took right before the LSG Devastation ride on Sunday afternoon when we had hurricane force gusts at 80+ mph.

Waddy, KY

This past Saturday, Ralph and I took a ride out and around Shelbyville Kentucky. When we passed through Waddy, I had to take a picture. I want to get a shot of my scooter "everywhere from A to Z"

High Winds

Got some high Winds today!

Master Cylinder Boot

I have been busy riding a lot lately.  I'm up to 5000+ miles on the old Chinese scooter!  I replaced the CVT belt with a Athena Kevlar belt I got from oregonvintage.com  Also I replaced the roller weights with Dr. Pulley sliding weights (11g).  Both old belt and weights came out in pretty good shape with little wear.  This makes me believe that the quality has come up some since '06 and '07 (mine is a 2008).

 

I bought a boot for my master cylinder from the local Honda shop.  I just took a shot in the dark and ordered one from a 2004 Honda Reflex.  It fit, and works great.  Let that be a note to all you Roketa, Tank, etc. owners.  I may see about how much brakes cost also, but I'm not sure they would be 100% compatible.

 

No other major issues except for my seat, which doesn't latch.  I had a friend take a look at it, and he thinks the latch mechanism is damaged or missing a peice...
