Rode it 360+ miles at a sane-ish pace. Took 76W to Lodi and picked up 83/78/377/550/26/260/800 and 77N to the house. Left the house with a full tank and didn't see my low fuel warning until Barnesville. I did stop in McConnelsville for water and a Snickers. Saw 92 degrees on the dash at one point. Was a warm one but glad to be back in the game. Time for Skyway and ice cream.

Your accident actually shook me a little. I can’t imagine how much the accident has affected you. Glad to hear you got back out there.

Rode with @Rick today met in Salem headed down 45/164 sketchy detour around the bridge in Bergholz took this to 9 took 9/148/145/26 to Arby's for lunch in Marrietta. Headed out of Marietta on 821/145/260/78/379/147 into barnesville. 800/799/250/646/151/332/9 back to Salem. It was a hot one today, so much for it being cloudy as they called for on the weather

Too bad a ktm didn't get this first.

Though I don't think we have met yet, I knew the bike looked familiar. The weather was great for a ride, today. Maybe a tad on the toasty side.

I saw you and Rick at 26/7 this afternoon. I was heading north when you two were stopped at the light near 7th Street.

Amanda called me while I was stopped in B-ville for fuel. A crash happened in the front of the house today involving a motorcycle and a car. She knew it wasn't me but it was enough to trigger a bit of PTSD emotion. She called so she could hear my voice and know I was ok. I am glad I was able to answer the phone. She is a little more emotional than I am at this point, but I worked through some mental hurdles myself. I feel better having put in a solid day of riding. I have been putting off getting on the bike for fear of no longer being able to enjoy myself behind the bars. I put that to bed today and know I can fully put April's crash behind me. I don't know how much time Amanda will need before she is ready to climb back onto the bike, but she's determined to do just that. One day at a time is how we've been getting along up to this point. It will be at least the rest of this season and maybe next before she gives me the green light to start looking for another bike. I'm in no hurry. She can take all the time she needs.

It's definitely a little sketch, but it way shorter then the posted detour. I'd 100% repeat.

Replacing factory fog light with Clearwater lights. I finally have the old harness removed.... it's been a morning.

Damn dude, more power to you..... I don't know if I could do the same so soon....
