Was not today...was a couple of days ago.


I had to do a 300 mile run for some stress/pressure testing of a new product we're working on.

It started out cold (but thankfully not raining) as I headed southeast on the interstate.

Took a little detour on Natchez Trace-







Ran about 60 miles total on the Trace, stopped at a Visitor Center...








...did a little status check...









...then did a few more miles on the Trace...








...then got back on the interstate and ran into Alabama about 20 miles.








Turned around and headed back.







Ended up doing 320 miles. Everything tested out well. Temps varied from 48 up to 55 down in Alabama.

Even though it was mostly interstate, it beat sitting in the office. And running the Trace for a bit was nice.

Mounted a saddlebag reinforcement bracket to my girl's bike. They were free to flop around at the bottom, hopefully this will fix the problem. Thank goodness for a heated garage!

That reflection on them bags looks like someone wearing a thong in high heels. Please tell me I'm wrong.

09 Custom, new Michelin Commander 3, new bearings and brakes along with the fluid on the rear. Replaced the front tire a couple of weeks ago with a 90/90-21 MC 2. Only rode around the block 3 times.
