Thanks Phyllo,
l have plenty of things I "want" to do to it, but most will have to wait for a while. My other bikes have more urgent needs. Almost all of my bikes need new tires. If I replace one tire a month it will take me 2.5 years......

My oldest boy stopped by for a late Father’s Day visit. So we decided to take two of my 3sitty’s to The Raft which is a burger bar that we can ride to without running on any paved roads. It was a fun ride and a great burger.
I also looked up the dealership that my RT3 was originally sold from in Lansing Michigan. According to the sticker on the rear fender it came from Jack Piner’s Sport & Cycle. The address on google shows an abandoned building that has the look of many cycle shops from the 70s.

A great day, although sad about the old dealership.
The dealership where I got my first ever (and many subsequent) bike from is long gone as well. However, the premises were taken over by another local, long established family bike dealership and is where I still get my parts, oils etc from.

I told my wife she can worry less now that I no longer play in traffic with my SCR950. I mean it has to be much safer just riding Old Enduros on back roads. Right?

OUCH! That hurts just watching it. Hope deer was ok.
I was taken down by a spooked horse once on my mountain bike... wasn't going nearly as fast though. Scary part was horse got a rear leg tangled in spokes. Horse stomped on the water bottle on the frame downtube and several hoof marks on the frame... I was pinned straddling the bike lying on the ground on my side under the horse as it panicked. How it didn't stomp on me I'll never know.
