New Fork Springs..just in time for BBT
« on: March 13, 2017, 03:01:59 PM »

Shout out and Thanks to Chad for lending me his tools and expertise in changing out the fork springs on my 1800 yesterday.
And also thanks to Sandy for letting me come over and take Chad away from all his chores!!
It wasn't that far a ride from Trophy Club?!  Only a couple of hours..
The bike already feels better!
Now...What else can I do to my ride?

Definitely a tough time.  It will almost be a year since I lost Buddy and I know I'm not up to full speed yet.
