Well it's been a week or two of firsts..
First, my rear tire needed replacement. The tire was at a point where the wear bars were showing. 300 miles later...

I learned the lesson of always checking your tires before you ride. I was lucky.
NEXT.... A gentleman backed into me on a monday. I couldn't get to the horn quick enough. Casualty.. My fender.

That night ( with dremmel tool in hand ) a sow's ear is transformed.

How's everyone's week been?
