Muscle Memory

[TonUp]

So a couple of Sundays ago I figured it was a sunny beautiful warm spring day an it would be nice to take TON UP out of storage for a mellow Sunday ride. As soon as I turned left onto Vt 22A and shifted into second gear I stood up on the pegs and in one fluid motion the front wheel was aiming for the sky for about 1/2 mile or better,

WOW! Muscle memory! Just like riding a bicycle you never forget and it all comes back in an instant. I was smiling the whole way on my 130 mile breakfast ride.

On the way back to storage I decided to pull a third gear standup wheelie as I passed a couple of Harleys and waved first of course got back on my lane and pulled it up in 3rd, no clutch all power, man that is one sweet bike, I kept it up for almost two miles and decided to bring her down before the blue lights appeared I glanced at my speedo and saw 110mph on the back wheel of course, it was a serene and peaceful feeling, great therapy an of course Muscle Memory.

I smile even more as I put her back in storage and rode the Wee Strom home, guess what? ton up is out of storage again and ready for the Bennington Bash! Muscle Memory is a wonderful thing!

Tito my friend, you are a wild man.
But that is some good therapy.

Tito you are indeed a crazed individual and talented too...If I weren't over the hill afflicted with severe old age I would take some lessons...I'm riding out with one of our County Sherrif deputies and he has an 09 Speedy...He's a young pup so maybe you could show him some stuff?

I am so ready to take her out for another ride soon!



New Jacket $400, new boots $300, new gloves $150, new riding pants $100, pulling monster standup 3rd gear wheelies PRICELESS!

Took the Triple for a quick rip on Saturday, pulled another monster 3rd gear standup but ran out of road. Need to clean her up a little before BTB 2010.
