I just spent a couple of days doing a major service on my venerable K75RTP. One new rear tire, an oil change, transmission oil change, final drive oil change, brake system flush and spark plug inspection (I never replace perfectly good plugs) had me eager to scuff in the new tire. Voni and I rode down to FM170 and then 30 or so miles on the River Road toward Presidio. And back of course. It was about 120 miles total and a good ride on my "winter bike", the K75RTP late of the Lawrence Kansas Police Department by way of Engle Motors in Kansas City in 2007.
This is not a bike I have ridden a lot: only 28,000 miles in 14 years or 2,000 on average a year. But I like this bike. It is my winter bike.
But alas, today was not a winter day even if Christmas Eve. Most of our ride on the River Road, Study Butte to Big Hill and back on FM170 was about 85F (29.4C). Not exactly winter. I did wear my mesh jacket but drank about 3 liters of water in the 120 or so miles.
Now how was your ride?????
