I was supposed to work today. I guess I will have to make the most of it and declare a MHD.

Home. 260 of the easiest miles I have ever done on 800. The bike has the best road manners of anything I have ever ridden and it is quick in the corners. It feels as light as the Hyper and that is not an exaggeration. The display is really intuitive and I pretty much have the hang of all the switches and gizmos. I kept it in "ROAD" (touring) most of the day, but did slip into "DYNAMIC" (sport) for a stint. Throttle response got sharper, but I was on really nice pavement, so the suspension just got a little firmer. I didn't notice much difference between the two modes regarding damping. I will play some more when the road gets choppy and see how it does. I ride it in the "MINIMUM" setting for preload, so it is probably hindered a little. If I put it in "MAXIMUM"....I can't touch the ground. Looks like I will have to grow into this one. I will ride again tomorrow. Probably taking a different route, but I hope to leave early enough to catch lunch in Weston, WV and be home by dark. I did this on the Hyper and it was 475 miles in 9 hours. So, 8-5 should be doable...probably 9-6. Any takers? I am willing to change it up for anyone that wants to ride. This was the first twisty ride and I am already 100% in the bag for this bike. It is very easy to ride quickly and it is just at home on the highway. Work trips this season will be quite a treat. Nothing quite like being paid to ride the Appalachians. That said.... Anybody want a gently-used Hyperstrada?

My place of employment (JCI/Johnson Controls formerly SimplexGrinnell) has several positions open, two in my department (FA SERVICE), one in fire alarm inspections and my supervisors position is actually open.

Greetings everyone, Just stopped in to say hello.

I have one of those. Excellent gun, it is our go to for home defense. Kick on the 45 is minimal. Deb can rapid fire it on center mass every time and she is not exactly strong or a gun nut. You are gonna love it.

FN makes excellent stuff.

Took a 15 mile ride in the rain today. I roped a couple of buddies into the soggy ride.

Found that pesky 10mm.

nice WSJ.
