Rode the heck out of my bike trying to catch @durk. Good times indeed!

Met @TreeFime (Ireland) in Lisbon and rode for 3hrs together. Great times. Starting to really like the Q3s. Noticed a big difference in the front brakes after replacing the eBay cheapies with some EBC pads. I think I also got all the air bubbles out of the lines from the previous owner. Feel like I chased that issue forever.

Those new front springs made a HUGE difference. And I'm thinking I like those T30 EVO GT Stones

picked this up from smccroy. Exactly what I was looking for. He represented the bike well and was great to deal with. Gonna have a blast with this thing. Hell yeah!

Shit, with an FJR, thats probably 6 rear tires per year!? $$$$!

Kudos on 25k season. Impressive for ohio!

Put header and mufflers back on, radiator back on with new coolant, forks reinstalled, front tire back on, rear brake caliper now has a new piston and seals, new brake pads and shims, flushed and bled front and rear brakes and clutch, started putting some of the plastic back on. The entire bike has now been gone through and ready for the next 25k miles...one season typically. Tomorrow, I'll do the throttle body sync and put the rest of the plastic on. That'll give me a few days to shake it down before heading for Texas.

He should've gotten life...attempted murder on not one but two people. Maybe some bikers in prison will make him their prison bitch.

Some states allow passing slow moving vehicles on double yellow. car wasn't going the speed limit.

Road out to the Triple Nickel Diner from the Hock with the wife following on her Spyder. 78E to 555S, Lunch. then 555 down to 50W. Tried to take 144N out of Coolsville but ran into a flooded area that closed the road. Back tracked 33N to Chauncy on 13N- back roads home. Had a fresh Pirelli Angel GT Rear tire on the Z. The lunch was great. They have added more items and lunch specials, plus a assortment of home made pie's.

At the rate I am going it will be a fall meet. To much going on lately...

It was videoed isn't that proof the witness sighted him.

@Tonik @Isaac's Papa IP have you ever been to one of my "OR meets"? I know I am past due to have one this year, but if I do IP must come join us.

All sleeping in their new home hooked up to tenders.

Congrats on the new bike.

I have the 06 Sprint manual. It shows the valve clearances as Intake 0.10-0.20mm Exhaust 0.20-0.30mm

For all weather I an very happy with my Olympia gear. But I wear Scorpion most of the time and layer since I have storage out the ass. But as Mike mentioned all of those are good. Its what fits you and makes you smile.

I've had great luck with tourmaster. Just bought a advanced jacket and over pant from ridersdiscount for $265 total for both (you have to message him on here for prices like that) both are water proof breathable and have vents for warm westher riding and their sizes are generous for big guys with tall sizes available.

The only all-weather riding suit I have now is the Adventure Style, REV’IT Poseidon Gore-Tex jacket and pants. They have a waterproof Norwegian Whale Foreskin outer layer that will keep you dry but it smells funny. If you are over 50 and have a large belly go a size larger on jacket. I blame it on a fatty Liver. I have a hot weather REVIT Cayenne Adventure Jacket and Pants from 2010 that has held up very well on and off road but you will need a rain suit. For the hot weather street bike ride I wear the REV’IT GT-R Air Textile Jacket and Pants. I think REVIT is a company over in Holland where they have great Coffee shops and Hookers. So it must be good.

Since your OP states that you are looking for "water proof over pants" I would suggest "Moose" They have the larger sizes you need. Gortex waterproof will limit your choice and cost more. I just completed a Adventure Ride in November with someone on a new Honda AT and he had a 2 piece Firstgear riding suite that was sized for over the pants. great gear with a nice price. Good luck. B.

Great dealing with you too man! Glad she'll be enjoyed by a known OR inmate and there's a great chance we'll run into each other at Wayne this year.

I got a Firstgear jacket... practically a hand-me-down and it sucks. Klim is very expensive... overrated from what I hear by some.

New camp toy

Caught a severe case of the "while I'm at its." I was only going to change front brake pads, then noticed a seal leak in the forks, so wheel off, forks out. Then check steering stem and it felt slightly rought, ok, stem out, new bearings on order. Then while I at it, check the air filter.. well shit, may as well do the pair valve plates while I can get at it and maybe change out the coolant and mbe..... Aw crap (fuck - did it again..)

We need a pic of you standing in front of it flipping us the "bird".

Oh...a hundy. I read that wrong.

It's a bet. You owe me a hundy.

I have to say, buying a car is one of my least favorite things to do in life. Right next to slowly suffocating in a sealed shallow grave.

Oh, if anyone is interested in BECOMING a small sport bike rider, I'm selling my Ninja 300 for $3000 something. 6500 miles.

New bar risers and Racetech springs in last night courtesy of @JustinNck1 and his padre. Should have a new front, and after discovery of how far I was into the wear bars on the rear, a new one of those by the weekend. Also should have the LED light bar mounted by then too. That sucker is gonna be bright as hell.

He was giving out free samples at the June gap trip.
