The First Ride of Spring By kz1000st (Read 538 times)

I wouldn't have remembered that today is the first day of Spring until Matt mentioned it on Facebook. Of course that called for a ride. If Matt can do it on a two stroke Vespa, well, so can Rocket. I rode to the local stores for some groceries and stopped to video the area for you.

Ummm, Bra
You look like a product of the Seventies as me.
Its 4:20 that alone warrants a ride by itself.

I rode today too. 68 degrees though. Put on 40 miles with just a little pain. Last week I received the 2" bar risers I ordered. Wow what a difference. I had before adjusted the bars up so the parking brake did not clip my left knee on a hard turn. That tipped the bars up and was putting a strain on my back. Little stuff like that doesn't matter much if your in good shape. I may be able to avoid buying a new ride now. I set the risers up and back. Them things are not real cheap but sure made a difference.

Now I got to find a way to make the poor suspension liveable. For 400cc and 450lbs the majesty has to have a ride as bad as a hard tail harley that has no shocks at all. My gf's 50cc chinese actually has a better ride up to 30 35 mph. Of course it doesn't have 200lbs of unsuspended weight on the rear either. There is room for longer shocks, I found that out when working on the engine. You have to remove the shocks and move motor up and down to be able to get at all of it unless you take it out entirely. I really don't have a lot to complain about with the motor, but the yamaha crew who designed their scooters should have been fired as well as their parts dept management.
