Whats the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Arizona in June? For me, one word HOT! So of course after wearing my super thin clothing and ditching the liner in my motorcycle gear it was down right freezing.. It was overcast and trying to rain much of the way but not doing anything but generate lots of cross winds
Needed to get the final drive out this weekend and unfortunately like most crusers the V Star doesnt have a center stand and I dont have $100 for a bike jack. Whats a guy to do?
