So it is coming up on chilly weather (even in California) and I just thought I would pop out for a quick ride while traffic is light. I live off of a 10 mile stretch of canyon roads so it can be intimidating and rewarding in the same ride. Practically misting when I left for the next town, but the ride back was epic and warm. It may only be 10 miles out and 10 miles back but damn it provides such a huge smile.
Back to my Stones. I chose the 110f/150r Hypersport S20r Evo. Relatively cheap and very predictable cold or warm, and pretty dang sticky once heated. Even in the chill when I left I feel pretty safe. On the way back it was game on. If only I had a Penske in the rear I might consider bringing that knee out for real (currently I poke it out, but then I feel stupid for the lean angle I have achieved).
I thought it was interesting that mentally I feel more confident going around left handers, but my tires say otherwise. Granted not by much but just interesting.
One last thing. I haven't ridden a bike without fairing in 20yrs, so when I ride the Hawk aggressively all I can really see is a little gauge and all road. Makes me smile so much it hurts.
Random Saturday thoughts, peace out!
