I've put about 300 miles on the bike in the last week. Of which about half was this past weekend riding around Leesburg and the surrounding area. I've been working through some basic maintenance items as parts come in. Saturday I installed a new air filter (gross), phone mount with USB charger, and today I tackled new NGK plugs. I definitely noticed a difference with the new air filter. Throttle response seemed to improve and hope this will up the MPGs.
I'm really enjoying working on bikes. The simplicity and ease of everything has made me grin. My plan is to drop the bike off with Fairfax Cycles to have them install the fresh rubber, align the rear wheel, and flush the brakes. I'll tackle the oil change myself.
I'll continue to ride to Rosslyn while I'm still there. It cut my commute time by over half from the metro. I'm going to be switching projects to the Metro Center area so I want to feel out how that parking situation will play out and I have to start wearing a monkey suit everyday.
