It’s gotta come out when you get home too

 

Yeah I’ve seen the great white taco in person it’s a beast! Towing is easy, backing up the trailer is the only thing that takes a little practice.

 

What are you going to seal it with? Used to be detailer we use either sealer or ceramic but honestly the spray on ceramic stuff from McGuire's is really good

 

We should have sunny skies tomorrow in PA, and I think all the rain washed the salt and grime off the road surfaces. Is anybody else going to try to get out there for a ride?

Congrats! That's awesome!

 

I’ll be using a paint sealer then wax but I was going to wait a bit to make sure the paint offgassed completely before doing that. Theres no solvent pops but sealing this early could cause some paint defects

 

About to buy 3 jackets off revzilla to see which one fits the best.

 

So when do you actually get the bike?

 

Should be next week. They just sent the paperwork last night, should be here tomorrow. I’ll send it back tomorrow or Monday and then they should have it shipped right after. They said it usually takes 24-48 hours to have it arrive

 

Ya know, I had the thought this morning of “what if all 3 fit great? Then what do I do?” So I thought, what would Tom do.

 

Oof. Don’t know if I can treat myself this much after buying the bike at minimum one is getting returned.

 

i can smell the tax refund season in the air

 

It was fun ordering V&H FP3, Big Radius, and an intake..

 

I’m sure I’ll be experiencing that fun order sometime soon ish I really want to throw new pipes on. Or at least a slip on muffler to make it sound better. Also thinking about getting a 2 up saddleman seat

 

It got up to a balmy 45 here yesterday so I snuck out of work early and went for a little longer ride. First time taking the new AGV AX-9 helmet above 45 and it performed great. A little wind pull if you head check above that speed but not as bad as I was expecting. Much quieter than any of my other helmets too. Accidentally got up to about 90 (in mexico off road.. ) before I noticed any major pulling from the peak.

I'm ready for Spring and the brown season to be over. It's snowing currently.

 

That right there is reason enough to rent a trailer. I felt sketched out loading my CB750 into the bed of my Ram 1500 with a ramp and it had a 4/6 drop.

 

I found a Mustang 2 up on ebay for $150 off retail. Its been perfect so far

 

Im going to try my truck. I just feel better not learning how to tow with a bike on a trailer. I was trying to be cheap, since I own a truck..

Step one: took tent off

 

Beautiful 60 degrees here in SE Tejas. Got out for a good couple hours! Put my big boy pants on and ventured across the tracks if you will. Good times. Haven’t hit the freeway yet....but I’ll get there eventually.

 

Also....what the hell do you do about turn lights?? Or any traffic lights for that matter. Sat thru a few cycles before a damn car came up and set the sensor off.
