Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Slicker’n shit out there because it rained the first two hours we were riding but it was a blast. Laid the bike down twice but I stayed upright.

 

Husband sold his Tenere and got all his money back (39 miles on it, the buyer and his buddy dropped it while loading it into their bed and damaged both bike and truck).
Hubs flew to NM to look at a F6B Goldwing and it was trashed, hopped the next flight to FL for a new police edition electra and has been having a blast visiting friends at the flight park in TN, seeing the sights, and doing Tail of the Dragon. He should be getting back home tomorrow eve (brr!)


A pilot friend of ours couldnt stand seeing the bike pics and just took his out in the 37° weather


That white Diavel I was going to buy fell through (long story short, salespeople were lying asses). I found a two year newer blacked out one in VT and got them within $2k of the older one. Put a deposit down and going out to pick it up end of this week for my burfday.

 

Well happy birthday! That's awesome! Glad your husband got himself a bike he loves, too. How long before you two race each other?

 

He knows better.

 

Quite the difference in bikes going from a Tenere to an Electra Glide.

 

He’s well rounded but wanted a cruiser again. Had a CBR, Goldwing, Street Glide, T7, and back to a Harley.
He said when he rode the Tenere he ‘felt like he had something lodged up his ass’ because of how skinny and uncomfortable the seat was LOL. Race bike and dirt bike seats arent made for sittin’

 

Currently in western Massachusetts visiting family. Seen a few bikes out when it isn’t raining- some nice roads out this way.

 

Met up with a friend and got some good bbq

 

I see you don’t have the same problem as me at good BBQ places.

“Uh…I’ll take a 1/4lb of brisket, 1/4lb of sausage, both types, 1/2 a chicken, 1/4lb of pulled pork, etc….”

 

My last trip to the BBQ truck was $130 their pic not mine, I got probably twice this amount and wife and I got 3 meals out of it

On another note: wrapping up fork spring install on the grom, what a pain in the ass. Just taking a break to look up pinch bolt and brake caliper torque specs before I start reassembly.

 

Are you on a diet, where is the rest of it?

 

Lol that was $25

 

I can believe it, BBQ has gotten EXPENSIVE!

 

Got out Sunday for about 215 miles and another 25 murals for my collection. Here's a few highlights.














246 murals since this started January 1.

Noticed when I got home my right side fork might be starting to weep some. Going to pull the wiper up and try a seal mate tool hoping that cleans out whatever little piece of debris might be stuck on the oil seal and see if it stops. Meanwhile looking up the list of parts to see what I'm going to need and checking my inventory of spares to see what I already have. If I pull the forks I want to replace the fork springs and get something a little heavier to match up with the Penske shock I bought last year.

 

I saw a mural in Purcellville VA if you want to come down. Also I forgot where this was, but its in PA.




oh another one in Brunswick MD

 

I have the one in Brunswick marked in my GPS, thanks! I'll do a little Google search for Purcellville.

Working on a loop now, there are 7 I know of in Frederick, the 1 you posted in Brunswick, 3 in Harper's Ferry, and 3 I'm aware of in Martinsburg. I'm sure I'll stumble across more when I go. I had 23 planned on Sunday when I went out. I stumbled across 5 or 6 more but had to drop at least 2 because the rules of the event say they must be 100 yards or more apart. At one point for one location in Milton, PA while taking my picture I could plainly see 3 other murals all within that 100 yard rule.

 

Harpers Ferry is really nice town. I always love going out there. It's about an hour from me

 

How much did you want for this? Did a lot of standing over the weekend and felt like I was hunching over too much at 6' tall.

 

20 bucks shipped? whats your zip code? I can mail it out later today if not early tomorrow morning.

 

Deal, pm me your preferred payment method and I’ll give you my shipping address. My zip is 23322 and if you haven’t already, check out pirateship.com Saves a bunch of money on shipping labels
