daily slice-of-life photo blog of a Gen-X dad
Kiki and I went for a ride this afternoon. It was super-hot out, which is not very pleasant when wearing motorcycle gear. At least when we’re moving, it’s not too bad, but stopping to take photos is when I start sweating. It’s more relaxing on the motorcycle than off in the summer!
I went to the library today with Kiki to pick up a book. Honestly, I have too many books in my “To Read” list and Kindle library. I blame BookBub! They have so many interesting books for only a couple of bucks each. I’m set for months, if not years.
I finally got the rear shoe fit properly for Kiki! The new Pirelli MT60 tire looks great, and handles nicely. You have to take it easy when riding with a new tire until the surface gets a little roughened up, but I already love the new setup. And I think the cast wheel looks pretty sweet too!
Today, I took a ride out to Webberville, and on the way back, I stumbled upon The Sign Bar. I’d seen Instagram stories about this place but didn’t know its location, so it was a pleasant surprise to spot it by the road. It’s like a nostalgic walk down memory lane, showcasing signs from local businesses that have closed. A fun place to hang out!
Today, I gave Kiki a wash. It’s probably only the fifth time I’ve washed her in 14 years! I think dual sports like a GS look better dirty anyway. Of course, I keep the chain and moving parts clean and lubricated, but I don’t pay much attention to the bodywork. 😄
I also took a ride out to Taylor, Texas for a burger. Check out the motovlog if you get a chance!
