1st Test Ride of '09 Postponed ... Again
Hopefully not a sign of things to come...
My prep plan for the IBR had me trying to do at least one big ride a month, each month leading up to August. The ride I had planned for January got postponed due to scheduling conflicts, but was slated to go down this weekend, Feb 7. Everything in place, I go out to check the bike over before heading to bed ... check oil, tires, etc ... hmmm, something is rolling freely inside the rear wheel. Tire looks ok, pressure was as to be expected, but the noise is concerning. Most likely it's the tire pressure sensor that's come off since the last tire change ... might be ok, but I don't want to get all the way out to Van Horn TX to have the tire fail and me be stranded out there.
I'll get the bike into the shop tomorrow morning and see if I can't salvage some kind of ride this weekend.
