Yes did put a new tire on Bandit.
Cleaned the rim seating surface really good with a wire brush on an electric drill as it was kinda trashy.
Went with a Michelin Road Pilot 2 as did with the front.
Balanced out pretty good. 
Also change the disks in the rear capilar and lubed the pucks for it.
About 200 miles on it now and all is good.











Have over 3 gallons of dew berries picked so far and adding to it every morning.  Think re doing to set up to just include on small fence was a good move. 

Was a WOW moment when looked at the Kumquat tree yesterday morning. Just did get most all the fruit off of it from last years harvest and BANG, Flowers all over it. 

  

And with the Grapefruit tree in the front yard with about 60 little grapefruits on it, gonna be a productive season for it again. Was around 50 last year. 

Plus with the two 4 X 8 foot garden plots in the back  yard with tomatoes and cucumbers. Then the 1/2 barrels and buckets with stuff planted gonna be interesting.  Also some watermelon plants near the fig tree. 

 Then , there's the Fig tree looking good also. Many little figs on it. Need to get pics of it today. 

So, the quest is still on to get 100K miles before the end of the years on Suzy the Bandit.  And, about 6900 miles to go at present and 7 months left to get it done. May not make it due to not really wanting to ride when it's really hot out. And , running out of places to go locally that I have not been so many times before. Plus, the multi day trips are past history as is more than about 200 miles a day. So, we'll see how it goes. 

KLR is doing fine and is at 51,200 or so miles so still use it locally and weekly. 

Da truck had a lot of miles added to it on the Rogers , OK trip a few weeks back and that trip did it good.  Plus wash and waxed it a few days ago and it's happy. 

Da Vette is Da Vette and still love getting out in it pret near daily.  But, it's sat the last couple days so time to roll it today. 

Got tagged on a credit card fraud this weekend with some rental company charge 5 instances of 1 to 2 thousand dollars for rental on ????.  Called the back right away when getting the notice. They cancelled the card and investigating it.  Supposed to be getting a new card in a few days. And , see on their website that tis pending to be taken off my account so I can pay this months bill. 

And the gathering at La Rumba  here in town with family and friends plus giving Ty his 50th birthday celebration early.

Even had my niece > Trisha Taylor Manual with us. Really neat.















And the picture at the right is Holly and Trish and Ty the birthday guy.

 And we have Ty   Trish    Me.   Great times.













The other surprize of this post is yesterday when getting ready to roll Suzy Da Bandit out to go get an inspecting and flat rear tire. What!  Went ahead and re aired it and was looking for a nail. 

Not so,  But did get it inspected and new rear tire ordered yesterday.

Wow! May moving fast!
Last night was graduation from Hathaway High for my Nephew with him getting a McNeese scholarship. Yea Zack!  And seeing the rest of the family there including my New Orleans Son. 
Wife went to the reception after but I snuck off to HOME and BED.

Did get the front tire changed out on Suzy the Bandit a bit back so that's good for awhile.  Also cleaned pistons and new disks for the front brakes.

Next , decided to tackle the nose redo on the Vette.  So some sanding and priming and sanding and painting and sanding/buffering/polishing and we're pretty much done there.
