Alright, time for an update. Somewhere in Nevada she turned 60. Doesn't look too bad for a gal her age. And a photo of me at 70mph through CA. She is showing her age though, but I think prematurely because of me, and my inability to maintain her properly. I have to redo the head again, and will probably end up rebuilding the brakes again, and bearings - She's got a nasty wobble at 90mph in a curve going downhill (the only time I can get her to that speed at 7,000ft). Forks too, wheel bearings and swing arm bearing, not to mention a new chain. I chewed through this one pretty quick - I have to get better about that. And tuning. Have an Innovate setup now, just gotta weld on the bung so I can use it. This summer will be a wrenching summer, get the bike in a much better place.
Also, kinda over the 250. Don't want to trade the handling/weight for anything, but tired of being forced slower by the wind. OK, fair, it was a 65mph crosswind, but still. Definitely want more power and comfort. Thinking I should focus on the basket case in my parent's garage, or the classic behind it...
Kinda lost the urge to ride as well. Almost want to get back into cars. Would rather get into planes though - but can't afford that, at least not for another year or so. hrma hrma hrma, what to do... I'll probably just get her fixed and say screw it, and stick to my goal of 100K, only time will tell.
