Errands on a sunny January day

End @ 64,638 (29 miles)

Took the long way into Richmond, avoiding I 95, I 195 and I 295. I needed bay leaves and it turns out Penzey’s was out of stock as well. I got two pounds of lamb at Belmont Butchery and some of their pimiento cheese, too. There were numerous construction zones between here and there and back again. Beeline gave me the same route both directions. I hit the post office near Penzey’s to mail packages.

Parked outside Belmont Butchery. If you look closely, you can see the headlight is on, which happens when you forget to turn off the ignition.

No false neutrals today, but having the same problem with the idle. I need to remember to check the oil and air pressure in the tires before I ride next time.

A panhandler at Penzey’s and an employee at the butcher shop asked about the bike and gushed about how cool it looks. They’re not wrong.

I talked to Dale about the false neutrals. He explained about some ramp on the shift drum and it having a shallow angle. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature, so I have to learn how to shift properly for the false neutrals to disappear.
