Taking the opportunity of a flat concrete floor we swung Maya up on the
centre stand and undid the triples bolts top and bottom and removed the
nut pad from the centre of the bars so I could get an accurate eyeball
down the clamps.
Wiggling and wobbling things, lining up then retightening everything it
was apparent things were lined up better straight away, the forks didn’t
feel sticky so were sliding easier.
The Beach
Our ride out the following day to a beach was the test of time, on
letting the bars go Maya tracked straight and true and the fork action
felt great ..welcome back to the land of true and straight, hopefully
that is the last of the shit from the hit (apart from the luggage and
racks which is a known).
Praia dos Naufragados (a beach) at the southern end of the island was
our destination, so close to a city of half a million but a moon away
being quiet and tranquil, a one hour walk leading us to a beach with 3
surfers, and two other couples in total …awesome (not for the camera
tho), Ellen being the usual Asianfish piled in enjoying a coupla swims
and we took a good walk as well.
