still not sure what happened today...

as it's been raining since i put that new tire on i figured i'd better check the air pressure before taking off for breakfast....

it's reading about 6 PSI low so i pump it up to 42 cold

mostly highway on the way up but the bikes feeling a bit funky & i'm getting no feedback from the back of the Barge on the ramps

anyway a few of the lads wanted to go for a ride so i picked the route with the most corners to the destination....

so i'm fookin' around a bit in the corners thinkin' "This aint right!"

check the pressure again & it's around 48-50 PSI back there (hot)...my gauge only goes to 40...LOL...

like trying to corner on a soccer ball...LOL

so dropped her down to 40-42 hot & it was a lot better

this "C" carcass is built like a brick shythouse so i'll check the cold pressure & may have to experiment with the pressure a bit

btw the "C", as i understand it, is designed to flex less while vertical to reduce heat & therefore give longevity

anyway here's some bike porn from this morning....
