Default Going on vacation

and the bike is going to the spa, well the dealer that is.

Figured I would be gone somight as well send the bike to get some exercise on the dyno treadmill to loose some lean and gain some HP.

Getting the dyno service done. Installed the SEAC and V&H Oval slipons, downloaded a base map with the SERT, just dropped it off to get it dialed in.


When I get back in a week I am hoping for a smooth running no popping mean machine.

We will see, off to Jamaica mon.

Have fun, and be safe. I am sure those dealer techs will have no problem taking your ride out for a spin. Hope you get the results from the dyno you are hoping for.

Went to Jamaica in Oct last year. It was one of the stops on a cruise the family and I went on. Stay ON the beatin path (so to speak). Be careful who you buy your weed from, those cops are tricky (so I hear). Had a great time snorkeling. Try some, it is addicting (the snorkeling that is. I wont take anything that is not prescribed by a US doctor) They are famous for their Jerk down there. Food, I mean.Hope you have fun and hope the weather is nice. Even when it rained on us, we had a great time, and only lasted 10-20 minutes.

Enjoy mon... when you pick her up after the dyno, do yourself a favor and do a very slow and methodical walkaround of the bike looking for any damage or scratches etc. Been riding for well over 30 years and do it each time. Dealer just delivered my new windshield today in the box $140 windshield since they scratched mine. If I had driven off and come back, I would have ate it. Just a suggestion fer ya.
