So went out for the first ride on the new saluki in rapidly approaching winter NY. This being my first ride in almost 5 months due to health issues(long story short I had dizziness and veritigo, turned out to be migraines, not MS or a Brain Tumor, thank god) I did about 10 miles and it felt awesome. Now when I stopped riding I was 225 and tipped the scales at 250 today so there was some "spring" in the ride going over some big bumps but boy was it smooth and fast. My first time using bar end shifters was really positive, i had so many places to put my hands thanks to the smooth VO Elk Hide bar wrap that got alot of looks. You know I used to ride a neon yellow olmo and got compliments but today I actually got deference, like people thought twice before trying to run me over, which in Brooklyn is really all you can hope for. Here is a link http://www.flickr.com/photos/67889635@N06/?saved=1 to the pics, yes I know the handlebars are high, I am still trying to get everything dialed in, front end was a little loose feeling, not sure if it was because I had so much extension on the bars or I need to tighten the headset a little. Anyway I have been a lurker here for a while but since my wife and family could care less about bikes thought I would post somewhere where people do. So i guess now it is time to start saving for that Atlantis, I mean everyone needs two Rivs right?
