The sun is out!

[Nik Rende]

Greetings fellow Airheads!

As I sit here eating lunch at my "work from home office" - a.k.a. the 
end of the kitchen island, I see just how nice and sunny it is.  We've 
already had some nice days and I certainly hope that you've been able to 
get some riding in!  Don't let that pesky crap coming in on Friday worry 
you.  It'll be 60 by early next week!

I haven't had the RS out yet although I did get her fired up.  I think 
(or rather, hear) that a valve adjustment is in order along with a final 
bleeding of my front brakes.  Recall I finished out last year rebuilding 
my master cylinder and, working alone at the time, I don't feel I got it 
bled adequately.  Although when I grabbed the brake lever a couple weeks 
ago, I noticed it felt firmer than it had or perhaps just firmer than I 
remember?  It's possible that, sitting all winter the residual air may 
have bubbled up eventually?  I'll probably give it a few more pulls anyway.

Fellow rider and friend Adam Gilpatric and I drove to NY a few weekends 
ago to pick up another bike, an 1100R.  I know not an airhead.  It's 
still a sickness.  So I'm sitting currently at 5 bikes but as soon as I 
get the front clip for our 1100RS back from being fixed and painted 
(from a soft tar incident) and the bike reassembled, I'll sell the 
1100RS.  I can't justify 5 bikes.  4 is hard enough.

Let this also serve as a reminder if you have paid your ABC dues, please 
do so!  Easy simple online!
