Another nice day! 55 and sunny! I rode up into Wisconsin, where I found snow on the ground. It was nice to get in 250 miles, it's been a while. The weather forecast has changed every day. It's either going to snow 3 inches, in a few days, or be sunny and 50 degrees.....ah, to be a weatherman....lol.

 

I don't see any riding weather in the 10-day forecast. There's a pretty good chance my riding season is over.

 

… I am not overly optimistic about tomorrow…



… I moved here to get away from this ****…

 

If I can't ride my Harley's I gladly welcome some snow. I hate the cold weather, when there's no snow.

 

You guys are making me feel like a slacker!! But I've been tearing into my SV1000S, way behind on maintenance & its taking up my free time. New hoses, thermostat, coolant, valve clearance check, TPS adjustment, new front brake reservoir, magnets had come loose in the rotor as well...

Loose magnets

Adding 3 new magnets, getting down to the hidden thermostat & tiny hoses

Removing cams to add smaller shims, they all have gotten tight

 

Ugh.

 

Nope… Can’t click a “like” on that… Just can’t do it…

 

About 56 miles then Castrol Actevo oil change. Shes running great!! Shims definitely needed adjustment & so far charging seems better since magnets are back in the right place.

Usery Pass

 

60 degrees and sunny today, but the roads were too nasty to get the bike out. The thought did cross my mine though. We went from a deep freeze last week to spring for the next week. Maybe a New Years ride will be in the works!

 

Not for me… Wet roads… I’ll wait until they are bare and dry…
