Congrats!! I'd maybe replace that tire, too.

 

OOOOO that will be a FUN bike for sure! Ill say that tail setup looks better than the appendage that is a stock setup.

NO JOKE!!!

 

man...thought I was done shopping. @nd4spdbh you, and others here, have me seriously pondering a trail worthy enduro. f*ckers.

 

wish i had areas like this!

 

anything i miss since ive been gone?

 

There's a good chance I'm going to this next weekend.......

Roughly an hour from my house. Thinking I might just throw my folding ramp in the bed of the Tacoma just in case......

 

Plated PROPER dirtbike is one of the best things I have ever done to my moto life. I have seen places only a handful of people have and you can get from point A to B off road probably the quickest especially when things get gnarly. Oh it takes you 2 full 8hr days 4 wheeling through the ruibicon.... I did it the hard direction in 3.75hrs lol

 

This is true, but I also have seen a few too many broken legs in here for me to have an appetite for that. I'm a wuss.

 

Speaking of, I got into a boot early. Doc said I healed so well I got to skip the walking cast.

 

Glad you are on the mend. I hope the pain isn't awful and the boot isn't too inconvenient. Who knows, might even get you laid!

 

About an hour and a half left of driving. Stretching a bit at a rest stop. Left to grab the trailer around 7:45 this AM. Should be home at 5:30, unload, drop the trailer off, and be done by 6:30.

 

Pix or it didn’t happen.

 

I haven't had any pain meds since leaving the hospital. If the boot helps me get laid, I'm going back for the other foot

 

As a single dude in a dry spout for a while.... if thats what it takes.... *puts walking boot on from previous broken foot from dirtbike*


(that broken foot was due to wearing essentially normal hiking shoes while riding a dirtbike and then looping it..... had I had on good proper boots id of probably been fine)

 

So here’s where I’m at with the 701 after about half an hour walking around, a bit of a spot sponge bath in the garage, and making a list:






Update:
- coolant
- brake fluid
- rear turn signals
- rear tail tidy
- swingarm spools
- kriega heel plates
- wiring connectors/pins to make turn signal adapters
- aaaand air filter cleaner

Have all been ordered

Oh, and a new toner cartridge and pre-3-hole-punched paper to print out the 400 page repair manual for it

Someone take my credit card away from me before I order a seat concepts seat

Edit 2: didn't buy the seat, but I did buy a sprocket/chain set.. another $172

 

Did you even ride it yet? Lol.

 

Changed the oil on my bonneville yesterday. Ran the fuel with startron in it, lubed the chain, plugged it in to the battery tender as always. I might not get another chance to ride her this year but I'm hopefull. But if not it's been prepped for storage.
Sad day for sure.

 

I put my Honda and Buell both away for the year a couple of weeks ago already. Previous years I got wrapped up in other things and found myself doing it when it was really bitter cold out. This year I got a little smarter about it. The 2 FJRs will still be ridden almost daily providing the roads are clear.

 

Nice bike Spencer hope you love it
