Tip of the day
Hey All!!
I've been away for a bit but I decided to go for a rip on the Hawk. Aside from a dead battery it fire up with a few kicks. Being a bit rusty i gave the bike a good lookover before heading out to the streets. About 3 miles into my idealic ride the rear tire locked up on me when coming to a stop sign. I decided to 180 limp back home because it seemed to have fixed itself. When i got home i found the culprit: yup my bike lock cable got caught up in the tire.... Rookie mistake but let this be a lesson to rusty riders. Check for nonsecure items. |

Glad your back! Us older riders forget things as well!

You just reminded me that I gave my cable lock away and need to order another.

My old office was in downtown Hartford, now we moved to right next to the airport in Windsor. Our Security is pretty top notch so I'm not sure I need mine anymore which is good because it is trashed from being dragged
