I had to miss the Wrench Party last week but Wizard, Early Bird and Lynn-Dell were willing to help me out this weekend with the install. Since Saterday I've managed to put on just over 200 miles on the Altimax HP 205-60 (38 psi to start) and could not be happier
.
It was just under 50 miles back from Lynn-Dell's - all on expressway - with no suprises. I did just over 150 today on the back roads between Baytown and Oak Island. I saw asphalt (smooth and broken), conrcrete, pothole, patches, grooves and even about 3 miles of gravel (GPS was in Back-Road Mode
). Posted Speeds were from 25 to 65 - one nice straight section of "Route 60-Something" - I had to stretch the Lady's legs and took it up over the $1.00 mark for a few
. Found nothing that you would call a "twistie" but a few really nice sweeper were scattered about. Saw just about everything but rain. The Lady handeled great under all conditions.
Its was a little different feel the first time out but by the end of today - I wasn't thinking about it, just having a great time. As stated so often on other threads, "it may not be for everybody" and that cool
...but I'm sold.
Thanks again to Wizard and Early Bird for the help with the tire swap
. A a big THANK YOU to Lyn-Dell for the coaching prior to my first flight
