Dave,
I finally was able to take a couple of days and rack up some miles on the new setup . I rode 1500 miles thru Northern California, Oregon and Washington on all types of road surfaces. Thank you very much for the rebuild on my ZRX shocks.
Between that and Steve inspecting and confirming the rebuild on the front end, My ZRX is truly a delight to put on the road, under any conditions . The stretch from Dunsmir Ca to Redding Ca on the way home is a really great " advanced speed" road but it has many many grooved areas for snow traction and they are some of the worst I have ridden.
As I approached the area I was passed by a couple of riders who must not have seen me because they didn't wave or even acknowledge the fact that I slid over to let them through as we had merged into a narrow work area. Rider B was in the lead followed by rider D . I was sure they just didn't see my obviously old---er , dirty ZRX. In order to give them a chance to correct their error I decided to place myself in their mirrors until the oversight had been corrected.
Well sir for 45 miles they sure managed to check those mirrors. It was fun following them onto the grooved areas and realizing how well the ZRX was absorbing the changing road surfaces and watch how riders B and D handled the surface.
The state of California has placed one of those automatic devices that suggest the speed for an upcoming turn and also let you know how close you are. It was interesting to see xxx mph, xxx mph and xxx mph as the three of us rounded the downhill left..:)
Thanks again. I had fun even tho ugh they pulled off at the second Redding offramp , still without a wave.
Must be the younger generation!
