Yep. Sometimes even the simplest things can make us smile.

Yep,,, my search has ended concerning grips for the King. They had them on sale and worth every penny. Fought hand cramps with the OEM and Avon Contour grips. 1k mile three day weekend and had no cramps with these grips at all. The grips are shaped like the Avon Contour's but the wider dia. made all the difference.

21,551 miles on my 18 RGS, will be a year old the end of this month. As part of my Preventive Maintenance, at aprox 20K I open up the primary and have a look. Check all the fasteners and chain adjustment. Everything was perfect. Headed to Reno middle of next week for a few days of fun. Good Times!

Street Vibrations is a fairly quiet Rally, especially the fall rally. With street bands, vendors, bike shows and the Casino's do their share of entertainments. Ride over to Carson City HD, the local 81 has a poker run and Virginia City is a good lunch stop. We last went in 2016 and it was really cold, we just got over Donner Pass ahead of the snow. Weather this year looks much better.

been several times..days can get over 100 and early morning froze my nuts off heading home over the mountains...Virginia city is a must but crowded obviously..one guy and his passenger rode right of the cliff last time I went a few years ago, heard it happens every year so be careful on the way up and down but those are mostly probably folks that had a few beers or so I'm guessing..lot of M/Cs when I was there..The Sands has great live music and wet t shirts contests in the parking lot..Lake Tahoe and Mt Rose are great rides as well as Truckee and 'Dahmer Pass' as we affectionately named it..Genoa has the oldest bar in the West and is a great ride and place to visit..have fun and be safe!

Are you in Mooloolaba mate you might be at Alex, Alexander Headlands just north of Mooloolaba,I went to primary school there for a bit. Mooloolaba starts at the traffic lights down further ,but yea I guess it's close enough to call .
See the way you bike points, down at the set traffic lights just past them those big *** pine trees close to the shore we planted these in grade 3 man.
