I just took the Triumph 750 for a quick spin.... went around the block
and didn't care to go any further because the ass of the bike was wiggling all over the place.... I thought to myself ok what did I forget to do this time.....
turns out after I got home I grabbed the rear tire and gave it a pull sideways and sure enough it moved in the chain adjustment slot ! AURGH !
so I gott'a go re adjust the chain and tighten the axle bolt this time
I remember I was having a bit of trouble getting the chain tension just right
and I obviously didn't tighten the axle after that ...What'a dummy !
....
one good thing about it, is it's an easy fix ! lol....
I checked the amount of gas in the tank and I better go straight to the gas station and fill up before I go ride ! ... not as much gas in there as I thought !
....
but at least the Triumph Bonneville 750 has a center stand ! makes chain adjustment a snap !
.... I can't say that for the freshly cleaned Ninja ! she's ready to go too !
....
a whopping 80 degrees here today and partly cloudy sky.... but it looks like the wind is Kicking up ... it definitely get's carried away here ! that's for sure!
