I needed to get out today and shake out some cobwebs after a busy few days, and I remembered the lovely show room condition PX10 I've been admiring in the garage for way too long was actually READY to ride. The virtually unused bike had some oxidation on the Stronglight rings, and I'd taken them off for some polishing right after the bike came to me from Ted E (thx again Ted !). It was so complete, I decided to leave the big gawdy safety reflectors jus as the were. So today it finally hit the road.

Starting out on the path the ride felt a bit sluggish. But after 5 miles or so, on my way down Ventura Blvd here, the bike seemed to come to life ! Maybe the bearing grease in the wheels finally got to working, or maybe my legs came to life. Who knows ? But it was FLYIN on the way back, thats for sure. I stopped by a big Christmas display at the Galleria, and put it up along side the presents - check out the shots below.
