Got to ride to work every day this week...and with it an hour each way through some nice horse country...it's not too shabby.

I haven't cleaned her or anything, but she still looks great. Got gas last night, she took a whole $10...thirsty little girl that she is.

I tried taking off the back seat last night, again. While I do love the look, I find that I miss the seat being there....and yeah it's probably because my backside is so large.

I finally got to see what the good Doctor was talking about when he rated the Bridgestones the way he did.

On the way in this morning I was taking a left off a highway and was going a bit faster than I should have, so I hit the brakes a little harder than normal. And for the first time the rear tire skidded (a pretty long way), which is something I wasn't able to do with the IRC's I had before (except when they went bald).

So, I'm guessing my riding style is a bit more aggressive than I had initially thought & after I chew these tires up I'll probably have to spring for the better ones.
