Hitting the road. Thanks again @4x4Runner for letting me crash your couch.

 

spent the day cleaning and painting the garage
today will get a couple miles in

 

Appreciate the invite.
Started a week long trip on the bike today. Started out had to stop in NJ for a party for a buddy. Left went through NY, grabbed hotel in Connecticut. Headed to Laconia bike week for a couple days then destination unknown.
Delasandro’s cheese steaks are tgg he e best sorry I missed it.

 

It moved the air from hitting lower chest to upper chest. Not sure if im keeping it yet

 

Great ride yesterday in flyover country despite the oppressive heat. The ol girl ate it up.

 

Thats how i felt with the 690. Getti g it over your head is the only real way to benefit imo

 

Made it home! Racked up 634 miles in the last 2 days. It was great meeting you guys! @4x4Runner @fatfurious2 @BkerChuck @FreshOldTaco

 

Question for the cuckoos nest….current garage doesn’t have an outlet near the girl to run the tender, can I run it off an extension cord?

 

Yes, draw is pretty minimal, I do it every winter.

 

Wait, you mean to tell me there is a period of time you don’t ride? Thanks again for the cruise control, it worked great!

 

Or pull the battery and bring it in. Usually pretty simple on the bikes I’ve had

 

I think I missed all of February this year but normally I get at least one ride in every month over winter, usually more. Late January thru February are greatest chance of getting me off a bike for that long though.

Glad to help you out.

 

Would y'all rather do 4+ hours on back highways @ 65mph on a windy day,
or about 3 hours on the Interstate doing 80+ mph.

Deciding my route for tomorrow's trip ha.
No wind protection on this bike yet, so debating more hours less fatiguing or fewer hours more fatiguing tomorrow morning.

Peace.

 

personally. The slab is ‘necessity only’. Even taking straight ‘back’ highways is better because it’s generally just less stress. Less lanes/ramps/trucks. Easier to see everything (possible threats) and enjoy it a bit more.

I put a screen on and load up pretty heavily a few times a year, and she loves to run, but I still avoid the slab if I can justify it

 

Took the interstate last time, thinking back roads tomorrow to compare. Thanks, man.

 

C’mon. Who wants it:

Everybody wants some.

 

I just want my shit fixed. Like 3 months ago one of my saddle bags got loose, the rear tire caught it and it derailed the chain.

so I decided to replace chain and sprockets.

when I torqued the new rear sprocket the friggin stud snapped off. Back ordered for 3 months.

 

I always avoid interstates regardless. Safe travels!
