Went to c my parents after 6 months... (pic heavy)

RJprod · August 11th, 2013, 10:55 AM

Although I've gone to west palm beach many times within the last few months, I never actually passed by my parents house simply because I normally would be there for just a night with my girlfriend. I just thought one night wouldn't be enough for them. So on July 23rd I took the whole week off to go c them and it was a blast. I've just put new tires on the bike (pirelli mt75 in front and kenda in the rear). I was worried the unmatched tires would be a problem, but to my surprise the bike handled pretty well. I changed the front the day before the trip, so I ddnt really have much time riding it. On my way there I took highway 60 and it was pouring for a good 80+ miles till I get to 411. the pirelli was awesome and I was able to lean just like I would on good weather with extreme confidence.

It was really nice to c my parents. It's like I never left. My room was there waiting for me, food and all that good stuff. The next day while I was riding around I decided to pass a lake to some pics. Even though I drove there all the time, I never realized I twisty it was until I took the bike. it's a good 3+ miles of twisty fun with a couple of bumps in the beginning. Since I wasn't wearing full gear I just did two laps and thought I'd come back for more and take some pics. Two days later I went back fully prepared. I worked on my vision and line selection a bit (though the street is not really the right place to do that, but u gotta work with what u have). During my third lap I met a guy named Bob on a Harley 750 which he bought for 500 $. He told me He's been riding for over 45 years. He suggested I go to Colorado for a weekend and told me about the high altitude up there, and how one beer is enough to get you drunk when you on those mountains. we rode for a lap before we part ways.
Things I did: visited a dealership, checking on an f4I they had to c if it was still there. Might pick it up next month if I dnt find an sv650 in my area. I went to the local art museum with my girlfriend, to boomers (arcade place), and also went to c wolverine. On my way back home, I took pics of some cows at a MacArthur farm. I wanted to take a pic of palm beach international speedway but it was raining at that point. It was a lot of fun... Next stop Miami to c my sisters and brother.

It's Lake Osborne in lantana road near the private airport.. The shop is in Lake worth Seaside powersports. Though I checked the website today, they seemed to have raised the price a bit.
