Well I have not posted on my blog in some time. Things got a little crazy after the hand surgery and this has been in the back of my mind.
I may bring it back to life in 2010. we shall see.

Last night I installed new tires on my Sabre.
There was much drama leading up to the tire purchase. Some cheese ball internet tire shop screwed up and sent me two rear tires of the brand I really wanted.
Come to find out that Pirelli quit making the front tire for my bike and I wasn’t going to have much luck finding one.
So I stick local and have Mike order up a set of Avon Venom-X tires and mint them on the wheels.
I got to put the wheels with new tires on last night.
I took her for a quick spin and could tell the difference right away. These are going to be some nice tires.
I rode to work today with the ground still wet from this mornings rain storm. The tires, dispute being so new, felt pretty good. I’m taking it slow to break them in and wear off the new goo. But so far with the two quick rides I like what I am feeling.
Here are some pics from after the first ride last night.
Sunday was a great day for a Motorcycle ride!
PB&J on his ultra, me on my Sabre and a new member of the riding clan JN on his Beeeeemer!
We had a great lunch at JN’s place and then headed out. First into Cheney and through the Turnbull reservation. We headed south to St John. We took a short break in Colfax before heading to highway 272 over to Potlatch, Idaho.
Now 272 was not a road I had taken before. This is where the ride really started to get fun! The twisty rolling hills were great and it was a nice quick jaunt over to Potlatch where we merged onto Highway 95 and headed north.
We stayed on 95 until the casino where we jumped the border and went through Rockford. Valley Chapel road was open, after being closed most of last year. I forgot how much fun that road is. The twisties are fun and that switchback is a nice addition to any ride.
We ended our trip at PB&J’s place on Brown Mountain. Something like 220 miles and a bit over 5 hours. It was a fun ride with a few friends!
