One of Sunday's stops was it a coffee shop, had a gravel parking lot and I didn't bring a smashed can to use for the kickstand so it took me a minute to find a spit where I wouldn't sink in.

 

2,270 was the weekend total. Vegas to Oklahoma for Tacos, then back home.

 

Must have been some really good tacos!

 

Rode about 120 miles yesterday all over the San Francisco Peninsula on windy roads through a dense coastal redwood forest. A usual ride. Then just before I get home I fill up the bike with gas. Somehow I put the gas cap on but I must not have screwed it down. About 200 feet after I got on the bike and went through a busy intersection, the gas cap came off. So I pull over and start looking. And looking. And looking. I can't find it anywhere but I keep looking. A young woman in an SUV figures out what I am doing and sees the gas cap in the middle of the intersection. It had rolled quite a ways. She pulls over and shows me where the gas cap is. So just as I'm about to go get the gas cap, a car runs it over. I get home and order another one from Amazon, which is supposed to arrive today.

 

Long Distance Rider meet up. Saw friends, made new ones. The taco's were good too.

 

About 40 after I put on new Progressive 944's.

 

Rode 87 miles yesterday evening to bike night and back. Great evening for a little ride

 

Got in over 200 today. Almost at 2000 for this season, and I haven't gone anywhere!

Got to test my right turn signal repair: 100% functional now. Makes me a happy Clam. Also got to test out the additional height on my headlight after switching the 3/4" (really 5/8") spacer under the mount to a 1" spacer. Did what I was expecting, a significant increase in lighting further up the road, without blinding oncoming traffic. AND, I found out I broke one of my fuel gauge wires when I pulled the tank back to do the turn signal repair... Sometimes I feel like I'm in a Three Stooges skit, and I'm Curly!

Cheers!

 

I had to go and pick up Moms mail, she lives a little over a mile from me.
But I took the long way and got about 24. lol

 

Close to 300 miles since yesterday. On my way to test battery blew up my rear tire half way to a dealer that is 150 miles away. In 45k miles first time had to tow. Both my tires had 25k miles on them and I was going to change them next week anyways. Lesson learned - never neglect maintenance. Should have put new tires last season.

Funny thing tho, after new tires I felt like bike is 1/2 to 3/4 inch taller. What do you guys think if I put 1" lowered front cartridges but I have 13" shocks in the back. If it helps shocks in the back have light springs and sunk in that is close to 12" anyways.
