Perfected Insanity

I said I'd be getting new boots, and I did. They are Joe Rocket boots and i must say I quite like them. They are waterproof and very warm.

And here is my constant battle against bugs. I end up cleaning my helmet at least 2 times a day with how much I ride. Ive gone through several different methods, but i find plan water and a microfiber cloth is the most convenient and does not ruin the finish after repeated cleanings.

And finally i got a few shots of some wildlife.

And the mandatory flora.

I got out for the 4th of July weekend and snapped some shots of the fireworks. some of them turned out quite well :)

And my personal favorite:

I also had a chance to swap out the rear on the bike. It has been a while since I've done this but thanks to a chainsaw, a mitre box, windex, some elbow grease, and Youtube I eventually got it figured out.

Old vs new:

Installed and cleaned:

And back on the road again!

I've got new riding pants (Kevlar reinforced jeans) and a new pair of real street boots on the way. So look for updates after they arrive.

Well, I finally got out for a while and put a fair amount of miles on the bike this season. I once again hit Highway 66 and 62 in Southern Indiana, if you ride I highly suggest you check these out. Here are the pictures:

Here is the gas station I stop at each time I head this way. Funny thing is it's one of the only non-prepay pumps I know about.

Why I love this road:

Of course my friend the rain had to visit for a while. It caught me on my way down and I didn't have anywhere to stop, but on the way back I had the chance to take shelter. Nothing to do but play with the camera until things cleared up.
