What did you do to your bike today?

Just looked at her as I was leaving for, and coming home from the hospital. Just had another cervical epidural this morning. In no shape for a day or two to do more than sit on my ass and hope I'll be up to going for a little ride this weekend. Can't even go clean her up like I would want to since the rain is done. Kills me when she's dirty and covered in bugs and I don't get her cleaned right away.
Retired my bike
What tires did you get? I got a set of Pilot Road 2CTs two weeks back. I went with them because *everyone* said they were great, and the dealer said Pilot Road 3CTs were backordered
. I've only put a couple hundred miles on them so far (I know, crazy, I get tires that claim to do well in rain and then I refuse to ride in the rain), but so far, they're great.
Two new tires and a oil change

Took some extra time and went on a short cruise before work but I did notice when I was going through left turns it sounded like something was 'rubbing' almost like a brake disc against the tire? Not sure if thats actually what it was but it sounded that way. But I have been getting compliments on the bike every day this week! Feels great to know people think that i'm, er well.. that my bike is sexy.

did the air box mod:Sport: No more popping!
The weather and my schedule finally cooperated and I applied my rim stipes today. With all the forum members adding rim stripes, I wanted something a little different than the rest, so I ordered something a little different.
Turns out, they don't really fit the rim just below the bead. The wide part of the stripe is a little too wide. Also the curve was difficult to get right. Here's a daytime pic:
Here's a pic after I got home from work. It was taken in near total darkness with just the flash from my phone:
I don't think the end result is as slick as a solid stripe, but I'm pretty happy with the results.

great idea dude, I like this indeed....
What gauge wire did you opt to use on those? I should do this for something to put in the bottom of my riding bag, would make life a lot easier in a case like this.
Got out the bucket, sponge, car wash and hose. And my son. And we washed and waxed the poor girl. She was looking pretty rough. We had a good time and now she looks awesome again.
Roads were too wet for me to take him for a ride, though. Tomorrow we're going to clean and lube the chain. Then go for a ride before work. I figure he's earned it.

PLEXUS... It's amazing stuff!
