Something about that front fork tells me it doesn’t steer very well.

I got a chance to ride with my essentially mountain bike semi-pro brother in law and wife’s sister out at a nice set of trails called Whiskey Run, near Bandon Oregon. Here are the specs if anyone is interested.

Took this one out of storage and brought it to the new place.
![]() 1981 Miyata 710. Bought it new. Did my first century on it. Also my first double, triple, quad, and 24hr TT. It’s set up now as my night time 24hr bike. Last time it was ridden was October 2012. I braked on a wood surface bridge covered in wet leaves. I went down. Hard. Old guys shouldn’t do splits nor should the right heel touch the back of ones head. Gave my riding buds a good laugh until they realized I wasn’t getting up. One of the guys is an ER nurse and he went into shop mode. He and the others got me up and I managed to limp to our breakfast spot on adrenaline and scarfed down a good meal but needed a ride up the hill to my house. Hyper extended my knee and tore my meniscus. Again. Bike needs an overhaul, but once done, the basement will be a good place to set up my rollers. Artsy Fartsy shot for ya. ![]()

I still got it. Sort of.
![]() 30 years ago I could ride these things no handed while feeding myself, peel off my sweaty shirt at 30 mph, sprint to 70mph then hold it for 30 seconds. I have even done a couple 100 mile rides on them. Today...15 minutes was all I could stand, just reaching for the shifter was unnerving, and my shoulders hurt more than my legs. ![]()
