Test ride after winter upgrades.

Took a short hop to an empty parking lot to try out the bike after all the work this winter. New rear Michelin Commander II, new rear pads, New Galfer SS lines, all fluids changed, rear gear oil, oil and filter, coolant, new battery.
Forgot how slick a new tire can be. Between that and the stainless lines the beast went into a straight line skid at a test panic stop. The stainless lines are really an improvement. Need to put a few more miles on her before doing that again. Regardless, it sure felt good to be back in the saddle if only for a few miles.
