Went for a 700 mile ride on Saturday. Long day, all types of weather from cold and windy to t-shirt weather back to cold, then pouring rain, then snow. Left home 7:30 am, got home after 10 pm.

Found that my tune was better than I thought. I averaged 42.5 mpg

Gave it a bath and polish today. Took Alloy Art strut lights and wind deflector fangs to Powder Coaters today to be done in black.

Way to go bro. You musta been dizzy by the time you got back with all those weather changes in one ride.. I washed and waxed mine Sunday after up and down a muddy drive way, way too many times. Then I checked the progress of my tombstone lite. It finally shipped after more than a week! Be here Fri I hope.

I've done over 700 miles in twelve hours, was in a hurry to get from Delaware to Tennessee to do the dragon the next day. But not with weather changes like that, you must of been exhausted. glad you're home safe.

It was a long day, but I was really surprised that the stock seat was as comfortable as it was. I was not sore at all along the way or afterwards.

My ride took me to Kalispell, it was gorgeous there! Could not believe guys were riding in t shirts and shorts.

I am still waiting for the new tail light to show up, slow boat from China I guess.

when i bought my bike i had to ride 90 miles on the stock seat. it wasn't to bad. but my ultimate gives me so much more back support along with the backrest. i tried riding it to work last week without the back rest, i looks cool but i won't do that again. plus with the backrest i can lean back into it and it feels as though i'm sitting in the bike. without it, it made my knees a little sore.

Crap, you can still feel your knees Freak? I'm like William H Macy in Wild Hogs, I get off my bike after a long ride and fall down. "My legs went to sleep". Lol
