Title: AWESOME WEATHER for a ride.
Post by: carryall on March 15, 2015, 05:47:48 PM
A 70 degrees day in northern Minnesota is a heat wave that can't be wasted!  Did a complete "first ride inspection" of my ZR7 and went out for a nice 1hr ride.  With the addition of new tires, brakes, fork oil and a fork suspension modification over the winter, it made the bike ride like a whole new animal.  Got back, took off the "gear" and figured I'd give the Servi a tank full of new gas and make sure all the little modifications over the winter were all good to go. (different air filter, fuel filter, kick-starter, etc...)  I enjoyed riding it so much, I found myself about 25 miles from home.  Bike ran smooth and flawlessly.  It goes faster than it should actually!  I had a guy in a PU pull along side at a light with a 'thumbs up" who said I was going faster than the 40mph limit while he tried to catch up, to get a look at it.  I was just cruising along and still had plenty of throttle left. I'm guessing 50mph is possible with a little tuck and a smoother road.  One day, I'll wind it all the way up with a GPS and find out "top speed". Till then, I'll need to keep eye on speed in town I guess?  Who'd a thought you could possibly get a speeding ticket on a Servi?  LOL.  Like a rambler powered dragster.

Sounds like fun....I started mine up the other day, but no time for riding right now. Wish you were going Portland... would like to meet you, and see the servi.

I wish we had the weather for a ride.  It has been a harsh winter here.  The snow that fell on 1/25 is still lingering, 7 weeks later.  Hopefully by next week we will be clear.

Yeah, but it is unusual for us to have snow linger for more than a week or two.
