Checked the brake pads since I had some squeaking from the rear.  They were a little dirty but otherwise OK.  Back in the calipers they go.

Selling the Triple?

Sent from the Moto X. A wicked awesome phone.

No. Dropped it off for service & to have the TPMS installed. We rode 4 other Triumphs & apparently we are bringing one of them back w/ us. The boss has spoken! I love my new wife!

Okay... I don't know if you're trying to start something, but we ride all of the time. Cheers

Apparently my kidding is not the same as others'. Sad really.

Put air in the front squared/cupped tire (tyre). 23 up to 36psi.

Made an aperntmint for my tire (tyre) guy to come by and put the new set that's been sitting in the 3 season porch for a month and a half.

New front brake pads today.  I'll be riding the bike every chance I get now that gas is nearing $4 a gallon again and my lab is over 20 miles from the house. :(

Is that the highest you've ever paid?  It's slowly inching up and it's to the point where it's cheaper to go to Starbucks and buy a drink than drive all the way to the lab if I don't need to meet with my advisor. 

I'm happy the 250 keeps on running despite all that's been done to it.  Every chunk of plastic on it has been broken, but it keeps on going (now that I've put the keyless gas cap on it) and getting 60+ mpg.  If only my luck with cars was as good.

I remember paying $8.50/gal in Aspen on a ride with several others in 2004. Definitely the most I've ever paid for gas.
