Nice roadside repair. I took a trip down 377 recently Ben and I think I have a pretty good idea of what caused your accident. There’s a dip in that corner that caused a harsh peg drag on the Goldwing. I never noticed it on any of the other bikes I’ve ripped through there. I’m guessing the guzzi ran out of clearance pretty fast. Going through the corner at speed I never saw a dip but the suspension on the Goldwing told me all about it. Glad you’re still on two wheels.

Implemented some side-of-the-road repairs near Ripley, WV back on Aug 6th, then topped off the fuel tank and finished riding home in one-shot that evening. Once the replacement part arrived, I finally had time to install it this past weekend. The new lever took a surprising amount of persuading to mount on the knurled pivot pin.

I want to be able to do long distance trips without my ass being sore as hell after three hours. I love the Vstrom’s v twin grunt and engine braking, but I also wouldn’t mind heated grips, cruise control, comfy seat, etc. getting rid of the damn buffeting would be a + also. The one I’m looking at is a 16 ES model with lots of extras.

Amanda and I took the Goldwing to breakfast and a quickie around Atwood Lake. Stopped in Bolivar for ice cream and then down 212 to 21/224 back home. About 150 miles and the Wing doesn't even know she's back there. This was her first time back in the saddle since the crash more than two years ago. Everything went smoothly and she's glad she decided to give it another whirl. Twenty bucks says there's a new Goldie in the garage by next spring. 😎

Jeeps are here this weekend. Trail ride and back roads. Stillwell. I saw a flock of Jeeps up town (Millersburg) and talked to them. They confirmed that Jeep Jamboree is scheduled for Sept. here. prolee have campers at Hawkins farm (Stillwell) SR 62. Ron505....$$$$ yeah, I understand that. Jeep Jamboree is like just under $500, they told me. Itz filled up. You can sign up and get put on a waiting list. Just for grins...mama unit checked on a Rubicon....$77,000. The payments for her woulda been like a thousand per month. To keep up with the time wasting...curious about the 2024 with a Hemi. Base at $95,000. Yikes!!! yeah, we passed...😳
