I broke the 1,000 mile mark today!!!! I started riding about the middle of June of this year.
I had an issue with the clutch yesterday morning. Found out my slave cylinder is leaking, (no pressure, no release) so tonight, I filled/bled the system, wiped everything down, and went for a short (20mi or so) ride. It was on the way home, on the Robert Moses Causeway Bridge, so the scene was the Great South Bay. It was really nice, I took the camera, but the battery died so no good pics.
I am happy about this milestone, yet when I was almost home (<1mile) I saw flashing lights and a bike on the ground :o/
Somewhat of a blurry night shot taken tonight at Robert Moses S.P.

Congrats on the first K , so what happened with the bike on the ground? I have no clue, as I drove by there was just the bike, a flat bed and a cop car. Bad accident spot at that crappy intersection though. |

right, people have the attitude that the biggest vehicle has the right of way.  |

right, people have the attitude that the biggest vehicle has the right of way. Not just that, its "bigger vehicle has the right of way until you're bigger than me.. then I still get the right of way" attitude of people, and it doubles at night as most people are in a hurry to get home or to the bar, or somewhere else "important". I always get exhausted faster with night riding than daytime riding, as I'm constanly looking/waiting for cars to try and get ahead of me whenever they can. |
