  1. Assembled the Goldwing and took a short ride to shake down the suspension upgrade. 100% worth the money. Low speed maneuvers and highway handling is most noticeable. It doesn't wallow and 75mph is solid as 45mph. Bumps are smoothed out, too.

  4. Spent some time pulling more cabinet facing off the Tupperware. Almost there and thought about going all the way, but my fingers started to protest. Two fat blisters on my thumb and index fingers quelled my enthusiasm. Very pleased with the way its looking so far.

  6. SR16 through WV, Burkes Garden, Marion VA, Smokies, Franklin NC, Blood Mountain, and anywhere else that my daughter can think of. We will be watching the weather and adjusting accordingly.

  8. I installed a new 12v outlet and built a quick disconnect harness for it. Not sure why BMW put the factory plug behind the rider, but that isn't an ideal spot. Now I have one CANBUS 5v outlet and two 12v direct from battery outlets. Also bought myself a new heated liner and gloves. The desk job is making me soft.

  11. Either are good states to be in Brian. I was probably both. Today it was adios to the Warp 9 motor covers. Maybe it’s the tolerances on the aluminum inserts, but mine just won’t stay snug. And an oil leak that was hard to find was the result. And I’m not resorting to thread lock to keep them snug. So off they came. In the long run, another layer of complexity in something so simple. My lower crash cage will continue to be the protection the motor needs.For sale cheap to anyone in the area (won’t ship).I also took the opportunity to pull the starter motor and install the W9 end cap that they sent me under warranty. The last one had the bearing freeze up and was field repaired in Ushuaia. I hope this one lasts longer. Stock end cap (2011, 525 miles) was bone-dry of any lubricant. This is a known issue with DR650’s and produces the infamous “rooster” sound when starting. This DR, even though only having 525 miles, is still 13 years old and needed this work Warp 9’s solution is a machined end cap with a small sealed bearing for the starter shaft to spin on, rather than the (dry) bushing in the stocker

  13. I mounted the speed sensor more permanently on my lower fork leg using Sugru, same as the old bike. The tape will hold it in position until the Sugru cures, about 24 hours then put one of the new decals on the topcase to make it official

  15. So I picked up this harbor, freight $99 bead breaker seems to do the trick with a a little bit of rubber on the tip, so it don’t scratch the rim and lube the rubber good with some baby oil fixed the ATV tire in no time. I’m a carpenter I know what I’m doing!

  17. Maine is almost an iron butt each way. If you are trying to do something in less than a week I would suggest Vermont and New Hampshire. Closer and way better roads. Maine is kinda bla when it comes to fun roads. Great scenery and food but roads not so much.

  20. Don't burn it. Lexus is very generous on trade in values. You will get more from them than from the insurance company.

  21. This option is something I've ALWAYS WANTED....no, NEEDED....in my automobile. I mean Bamboo? Rainforest? Iceberg? Waterfall? Excuse me, but now I have to go burn my 2018 F150 XL. It doesn't even have carpet! 😰

  25. Upon further research, the Lexus has way more buttons. Today I learned I can change the mood colors inside. It has light colored accents on the floor, near the armrests and so on. So blue when I a calm, and red when I a pissed. I expect red will be used a lot.

  34. Added turn signals, horn, and brake lights to the TE300, to make it street legal. Sent the new Goldwing seat to Russell Cycle products for the Day Long modification. Hopefully, it will be back in time for a trip to Smokies at the end of March.

  35. Today I installed the two sensors for my new FOBO TPMS. It’s CarPlay compatible so the display is there live on my CarPlay unit. Seems to work great! Also added side pannier pockets to my new Giant Loop tank bag Wrapping up the build with an Eclipse party. You folks should stop by. Just south of Wooster.

  36. Got the bike out today and cleaned it up, then tore apart my Shoei and assessed the damage. I dropped it at the hotel at Deals Gap last fall and scratched the shield pretty bad. Probably due for an upgrade but helmet prices are just stupid.

  37. It's based on date of manufacture of the fuel pump. 17, 18 and part of 19 for the date of manufacture means your are impacted.
