Motorcycle Updates + Photoshoot! [Yapping about motorbikes] ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

 
Hi hi!

Now that we are in the colder winter season, I haven't been
able to ride my motorcycle

So sad!!

So instead I will make a blog post about my updates on
my bike and some of the fun events and goals I accomplished!

It took quite a while for some title issues on the bike.
Everything wasn't truly finalized until late August, so I only had a couple months to ride in the nicer weather.

Fair warning, Banks here take MONTHS to
release titles it turns out..

But the bike was finally mine!!

I put on my new plate aaaa!



I also noticed my oil was low.
This was super confusing since my bike is so new.
Its a 2020 and only has 300 miles!

It shouldn't need an change until around 600.

I talked to a lot or riders and came to a consensus that
I could just top it off for now until my next oil change.

I did this on a week night so ended up doing it in the dark and
with my phone flashlight.

I think ill invest in a head lamp now..ww





I borrowed my friends Honda Super Cub when I took my endorsement but after I passed, he came over to get his bike back.

We took the opportunity to group ride together!

I was still getting used to my bike and was so used to his cub..
So we rode around on each others bikes ww!
He also wanted to test out the Monkey!


I heard there was a Harley Cook-Out so we went by to check it out.
Everyone was very nice but we felt VERY out of place ww

We did make sure to vote in the motorcycle contests tho!

I voted this bike for best modifications!
It was so amazing!




After the event we were hungry so we went to a
near-by restaurant! It is a biker bar!

Our mini motos looked so cute!



We got way too much greasy food and had lots of leftovers!


I felt so happy looking out the window and seeing a huge Harley
bike park next to our little mini motos ww

After we ate, it was pouring rain!

But its always good practice!

After our very wet ride and some drying off,
I said farewell to Reiko the reliable Honda Cub!

Thank you again Patches!

 

Patches also helped me removed the taper handle bars
and we reinstalled the ones that came stock.

I really love the look of the original handle bars and
my arms are short ww so this works better!

Stock Handle Bars (After)

We also adjusted my levers and the distance and tension
of my clutch lever, Everything feels so much better
and custom to me..

I also finally went on my first group ride!
Well I've actually been on two!

One with Patches Super Cub and another time with my own bike.
I really want to gush about the group rides but to sum it up,
being around so many different riders and seeing a
huge line-ups of bikes was so awesome.

Once we were riding, seeing the long lane of bikes taking over the road together.. It felt like magic!
I got butterflies in my stomach and couldn't stop smiling.

I am still so new so I only did maybe a third of the ride each time
but I plan to practice and gain more confidence once it gets warmer again!

Everyone is so nice and patient but I really don't want to hold
the group back so I will do my best to get better!

I was really happy to have made a new photographer friend who was
looking to take photos of motorcycles for his portfolio.

I styled my hair so cute but it started raining on my
way to the shoot so my hair was completely ruined..

BUT THE PHOTOS TURNED OUT SO AMAZING!!

After the long shoot with my light on the whole time..
my battery died so we had to do a rolling start to get it to turn over w

then I rode back home in the dark...

and the rain...


IT WAS VERY SCARY!


But now I feel like I can accomplish anything!
My photographer also drove behind me so no one
would drive up on me and road rage.

Picking between not seeing out your wet visor and
taking rain drops directly into your eyeballs with your visor up, is a hard choice at the end of the day..

Those are so of my main updates on my bike!
I did get a lot of new items to install like a
gear shift indicator, cardo, and a device for my helmet that helps
keep my long hair back.

I hope to blog about those things soon!

Thank you for reading!
