Before I got going one day I went and washed my bike, boy did it need it. I find an easy way is to go down the road to the local car wash. Wash, rinse and then wipe it down. I had a friend say they didn’t realize how sparkly my bike was, it sparkled a lot after the wash. Being on the road I wasn’t able to get it washed as much as I would have liked.
I Went in for my 25,000 service on my bike. Talking to the technician, he said he wasn’t sure if my back tire would pass inspection. I told him that they are the original tires from when I purchased the bike brand new back in February of 2017. He was shocked and very surprised I got that many miles on them without having to replace them. Usually you might get 8,000 to 10,000 on a tire. A little while later another technician Robert came and said the back tire does need to be replaced, and that it had 3 nails in it. The front tire will need to be replaced soon, probably at my next oil change. I am darn lucky nothing happened while riding having those nails in my tire. I have to say that Robert was fantastic, he went above and beyond and was able to get some stuff covered under warranty. I can’t thank him enough for all he did. He also made sure that I was out in time to get to another appointment I had. The 25,000 mile service takes 6 to 7 hours, so it was a long day. In hindsight I probably should have dropped the bike off and then get it after it was done, but I used my time there catching up on some computer work!
Love and Light to you all!
