Throwback to when I first got her, and then now with some more sensible gear.

Here's the first real ride that I did on my bike. I had to get it from it's storage spot in CT, through NYC, and into Brooklyn. I wanted to stay off the highways (I-95 and the Merritt/Hutch) because I wasn't too confident yet. The bike was leaking oil, had old tires, one mirror, and a worn chain, and sprockets. Oil was steadily dripping from the shifter seal, seeping from the main seal, and bubbling out the head. I had never been on the highway more than 1 or 2 exits and wasn't sure the bike could run at 60-70 mph for very long, or how long the gas would last at that speed. Basically I wasn't ready for playing on the highway yet, and neither was the bike. For this route I started going northwest up into NY and then came down RT 22 South through Westchester and the Bronx until I came to a bridge to manhattan. I started going down one of the avenues in Manhattan to the Man. Bridge but was overheating with all my gear on so I jumped on the FDR and it was a relief to get going fast enough to make use of the ventilation in my new-to-me Revit textile jacket. Made it into Brooklyn feeling accomplished, I locked and wrapped up the bike for the night and wondering where to get a motorcycle cover... which I got the next day from Union Garage.
