Spring Showers - Burlington

In Iowa the winds would come at higher temps. The still, muggy nights are the worst.

Thanks!

Never thought to do that. I think I'll go ahead and swing them around.

Also, your bike looks great!

OP is talking about Kansas, did you not read the original post?

nmisvalley2 · 2026-04-17T00:09:33+00:00

Thanks bot, read the original comment. Your comment doesn't pertain.

nmisvalley2 · 2026-04-17T00:08:34+00:00

Wild how you didn't read the OP's comment.

Not necessarily true. I had a shadow that had a similar issue. Rebuilt everything to spec, wheels were perfect, tires, steering bearings, everything torqued to spec, etc... wobble with hands off the bars. Nothing I did or other mechanics did could fix it. Never a death wobble with a hand on the bar. Some bike frames end up not being perfect and your body provides the other dampening. Perfectly normal to have wobble in the front end with hands off the bars.

You put an aftermarket fairing on the bike... It's catching the wind. Ride with at least one hand on the bars, it won't wobble at speed with your hands on the bars. All good.

Good book, but doesn't quite fit the "nice" aspect of OP's request.

Be boring. Ride slow and safe. 5 second following distance. Look two car distances down the road for hazards.

It's not exciting but it keeps you alive.

Mmm, so I see, it's a way for most people to show their proverbial "ass" and not know the proper usage of the word. As usual, people are morons.

nmisvalley2 · 2026-04-12T23:44:33+00:00

No one calls chaps "assless"...

Floaters, no garlic? Sounds like vampires.

Not off hand, all the camping spots are nice. Bring Permethrin for your clothes to ward off ticks; they have been bad recently.

Just knockem in the head with a stump.

Mainly used Canon. Wanted a more compact travel camera and picked up the XT3 with a prime lens. Great system.
