20220412_194348.jpg After working on the motorcycle for most of the day, putting on the new wheels. I was finally able to get out for a ride.
I kind of goofed up when buying my tires. I wanted the Michelin Road 5's. I ordered the Sport 5's, more of a race type tire. They may wear out sooner, but boy are they fun! I feel like I'm Eddie Lawson when hitting the curves!

Dang Storm, love all them 900's, proud for ya'. Thought of you Sun. when coming out of local restaurant. I saw a nice, clean, shiny deep dark wine colored (not red) Kawa KZ900 sitting across the parking lot. Being amazed, as there's never one around here, went over & started talking to the guy. He started telling that it was an orig. 900LTD, only 2000 shipped to U.S. The more he talked the more I understood how little he knew about his bike, Not LTD tank, seat, nor bars, had spoked wheels, no chrome on instruments, a pretty nice old KZ900, only thing looked LTD, it did have dual disc up front. Wondering if he was just Puffing & thought nobody would know, Surely he didn't buy it thinking it was a 900 LTD... Never know, we meet all kinds.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100Comment

First decent ride of the year. 200 mile round trip to the End of the World and back. Some great twisty mountain roads. Saw 2 Turkeys, a porcupine and a roughed grouse (PA state bird). Sorry, no picks of the wildlife (except me).
Eagles Mere.

Worlds End State Park.

revisited Hobo Vista. Sign’s gone.

This is a first. When close to home I noticed my headlight beam bouncing on the gravel road I was traveling. Stopped to check and notice 2 of the 3 screws that secure the headlamp flange to the bucket have gone bye-bye. I just noticed you can see the lamp hanging out of the bucket in the pic above. Maybe use a little blue lock-rite when I install new ones. Almost lost a $150 Truck-lite.

Hey, that state park, can you drive in one side and go out the other? Whats on the other side?
Headlight bouncing around: Poor man's headlight modulator.

Yes, can drive straight thru, Worlds End is on a very popular trout fishing creek. On a nice, hot summer weekend it’s jam packed with families swimming. Has some nice picnic area, has a nice snack shop, closed yesterday. Probably opens closer to Memorial Day. It’s near Forksville, which has a great General Store where you can get a good Lunch. Again, only open in the summer. The store is typically well stocked with a huge variety of candies and sodas, the kinds you don’t see anymore. All the great stuff you remember as a kid. Worth a visit if you’re in the area in the summertime.
