Hey Chris, the road closed thing combined with new pavement is very nice! I've only experianced it a handfull of times. The Wal-Mart Wonderbike made it through another twelve miles today. That's around 670 miles now on $99.00 bucks. Someday my EZ-1 will arrive and I'll have something a little nicer to ride. Baby steps you know. Beautiful ride, only one driver pulled out in front of me today, I still have at least half the brake pads I started out with this morning. Praise God for strong breaks and a strong grip on the levers! Lest I forget... the temps were in the 80's again today with a couple of sprinkles on the way home.
