Took it our for a nice ride to the Blue Ridge Parkway....where I think I left the keys to the saddle bags... hmmmm, return trip tomorrow to look for them perhaps?
Any excuse is a good excuse, when it comes to riding. Hope the keys turn up. tp
glorious day in NJ/PA today.. rode up pa along DE River rt 32 to 611 and on to
the riverside barr and grill just north of Easton... we covered nearly 200 miles
I'm gonna think up some **** tomorrow.....count on it....x2 on the keys,hate losing keys, wallet, and phone.....oh and my mind.
When you can walk into a room and not recall why you went into said room.... I've already written off losing my mind, a long time ago.
I've already contacted the local dealer and ordered replacements (read that as 2 keys). I guess I'll just retrain myself on where to store my keys when riding, because apparently your belt loop is not a good place for them :/
Went out on a nice ride down to Plymouth for lunch today. First real test of the fp3 and no baffles. Runs great, now only feel heat from the engine and not the pipes also. Still has some popping (probably due to not running any baffles). The wife doesn't think it's to loud as it is, so I'm just going to leave it as is. Might have to try the auto tune next.
Rick, have you downloaded any firecrackers with the Fp3 for "popping"?
I left the house yesterday and took a solo run out to The Dragon, south to the Cherohala Pkwy, to Telicho Plains, Tn to Vonore,Tn and backroads back to the Foothills Pkwy and back home. Left out at 0830 in a teeshirt and returned home at 6pm, still in a dry teeshirt, all good. Killed a few bugs, but a good day.
I ordered a Sunpie (China Daymaker) LED assy for my 11 RK. The OEM glass headlight bezel has fogged up and will not clean off, looks bad. Going in the dumpster.
I haven't gotten to play to much with it. I need to get some time to do the auto tune. Hardest part is only real time I have is on the weekends. That is if the weather is nice, and if I am not on call. Only 2 more weekends until I'm on vacation. And one of those I am on call. Would love to have my bike with me on vacation so I can go riding with my dad. The popping and burbling from the exhaust is something that doesn't bother me. I might try the baffles to see if that helps. Might have to remove again if not loud enough.
This weekend added under-footboard electra glo lights, repacked front wheel bearings as I just replaced the rear wheel and did those, which is good as the fronts needed it. Shined it up a little and took a photo, tried to catch most of the electra-glos glowing, but still a little bright out for it.
