Hopefully this will allow me to fully plant both feet on the ground and prevent the incident where I dropped the bike in Durango. If that doesn’t do it, the shocks will be changed to lower the whole bike. It’s expensive, but it’s essential that both feet can be firmly on the ground at the same time when doing slow maneuvers such as backing out of a parking spot. I could go back to the stock seat but the benefits of the new seat far outweigh the fixable seat height problem.
Anyway, now that the trip is over It’s time to list some of the things I’ve learned. Continue reading “Home Sweet Home and Final Thoughts”
