Wasn’t My Intention

To share rides for two hours in the yard today.

 

I had another plan to work on some performance tuning (I’ll post later), but the girls were doing so well and having such a good time we let it roll.

If you’ve been following along, you know that the Honda is in the shop for suspension work and the Suzuki was deemed under powered. It’s under powered on purpose, but much harder to adjust than just turning the throttle stop screw as on the Honda. The plan was to ride a little to judge the current power, then adjust as necessary.

But the girls started ripping around all over the place. This was the first time in the yard since Christmas day when we deemed it to have too many obstacles. Apparently that’s not an issue anymore.

They went each and every way around the garage, the flower bed, the swing set, the oak tree in the garage, and the fire pit. And had very little performance issues doing so.

Obviously we had to make it harder. In addition to the cones, I opened a path past the pool so they could more easily get to the back yard. Now they were riding all the way around the house.

And each time they patiently waited their turn. For two hours.

In the meantime Craig showed up to show off his new bike.

It’s a Honda Africa Twin. Very nice. Very torquey.
