Yesterday the temperature hit 82 breaking a record. I think a lot of riders took off from work as there were motorcycles everywhere. I was riding west of town and came up next to a rider at a stoplight. What a strange sportbike; it had no front fork. It was a Bimota Tesi with the linked front end. He said it had an 1100 engine.

Today I rode up Lookout with my friends. One had a Gixxer 1000 and the other had an Aprilia Mille Factory that had been repaired. The Aprilia rider waved me ahead. At the top, he checked his tire pressure - 25 pounds in both tires. The Gixxer rider had a tire repair kit with two CO2 cartridges. One cartridge in the front tire raised it to 32. The other in the huge rear only raised it to 29. The fun part was three old guys working on his bike. I wish I had my camera.
