Wow!
Saturday afternoon when I parked the bike, it was 92*.
This morning, riding to work, it was 48*.
44* swing in temps in 36 hours.
Tonight is looks like it's gonna be down around 40*.
Been swapping between the mesh jacket and the leather jacket for a few weeks, but looks like not many warm days left this year.

Went and picked up a parts bike today.
Totally forgot to take pictures of it before we loaded, & after it was loaded on the trailer.
Did remember to take a pic after we got it unloaded and into the container.
Got it for $100
It's an R1000, and the forks are good...they will end up on some future build.
Yoshimura exhaust is good...not sure what we'll use it on, but it's cool.
Both master cylinders will be used on some builds.
Not sure what else we'll scavenge from it...Devin is talking about using the engine in a go-cart.

Yep, better than the alternative!
This afternoon Devin and I are spending some time with a 2018 Tri-Glide.
Kevin
Busy at the home shop this afternoon...
...just installed some 14" TSS shocks/CCLK on this 2018 Tri-Glide...
...went for a test ride on it, noticed the miles as I came back...
...Rides like a dream!

Friday we spent some time on the SBS Chop...made some nice progress on it that can be seen HERE.
Been looking at paint a bit this weekend.
I've spoken with Mitch about his paint work. Not sure I'll be able to afford it, but when the time comes, we're going to talk more.
Here's some of his work that he did for his current project bike-

Yes, his work is amazing....lots of depth to it.
No, not Mitch my neighbor. This guy is in Central Tennessee. I have some ideas on the paint, just gotta wait til I'm closer to needing it done, then talk to him and see what I can afford.
We still have a ways til it's running, then I'll be riding it awhile raw, just to make sure there are not other changes needed.

It rained last night, and there was a light rain falling on the way in this morning.
The roads were nice and wet.
Not sure why, but I still get just as much fun, today, as I did as a kid...
Gassing it in the corners and sliding the rear end around.
I'm not as good as this little girl at drifting...but I wish I was. lol

I had an appointment first thing this morning up in Memphis.
Around 10:30, while leaving this appointment, some cager (probably texting) was tailgating and hit the car in front of them, then lost control and went off the road.
Within 3-4 minutes there were 4 Fire Trucks, an ambulance and 3 police cars.
I was on my TG, watching for a while...traffic was still backed way up when I left.
Be careful out there!
