Picture: Bullet loaded on the S-10, just back from Tulsa
Today I took the bike to the dealer in Tulsa for it's 500 mile service. By 5am I was on the road and arrived at Ron's Cycleland at 10pm. They got started right away so I just hung around and watched. Mike, the senior mechanic does the Enfields, he was real good about showing me how to do things but as it turned out I could have done everything myself. About The only thing I was unsure on was adjusting the push rods but I am clear now. Tomorrow I will do a couple of things that I thought he should have done but that is just me. They are a real friendly bunch down there and had me loaded up and on my way by 12:30pm.
It took be quite a lot longer to get home, first a train had me blocked in Tulsa then on the way back the road work got me. I was pretty pooped when I finally got the bike unloaded and only took a 6 mile ride after I topped off the tank with gas. The gas mileage is looking pretty good, well in excess of 75mpg. I may get Sue one of these to ride to work.
