Get @Casper to help you.

Saturday the 22nd. Kickstands up at 10 AM at the Minut Mart in Wooster. Can't start earlier than that. Happy to pick anyone up along the way except the two 's. Pace will be Medium + to Medium Fast. I will do my usual 70ish on the straights and as the day wears on and I get settled in a bit I will slow down less for the corners. No problem if the faster peeps want to blast ahead and wait for us at the next stop or corner and I will certainly wait for anyone if you are slower than me. Ride your own ride and all that. Below is the route, it is the same route that Ricer1 and I took last Saturday. It will be a longish day, so time at stops need to be a bit of a minimum. No mad rush we got daylight till 9PM but no major dicking around. Lunch will be at this crappy little ice cream place that has hot dogs and pulled pork and stuff right after 255 on 7. https://goo.gl/maps/FEH7cUXewNH2

Until now there were not many questions. I knew it was the right bike, just had to get it home. Worry not, I will be tapping your knowledge.

Wooo, you got the extra fast blue one too. Goo Be Gone and a soft cloth will get that sticker off the tank.

And I think I need a Puig touring windshield. No buffeting but it feels like its pressing on my throat. Not liking that at all

Thats a good option, plus the ones up front look a tad out of place.

Drove to title place. Didn't get title. Drove like a madman to Euclid to the original notary so he could finish filling it out. Drove like a madman to title place. Got title. Drove like a madman to get plates. Made it with 15 minutes to spare. Changed oil, flushed coolant and brake fluids. Got the damn sticker off the gas tank. Test ride.

Really appreciate all the tips. Yea, gonna do some bar work and the mirrors bug me big time. On the White Whale I can see perfectly behind me with both mirrors. All Jap speedos read 5 percent too low. Apparently the previous owner, or State 8 knew about the chain issue because it does have close to two inches of play. I was going to look at that next. So that is all set.

Better day today. They are backing off the sedation in preparation for the neurologist to see him. He is responding to commands. My wife said hi John, he opened his eyes and looked at us.

Then why are you giving the poor dude at Shoei such a hard time?

Long time ago when I had a chain (not counting today) I bought some Bikemaster chain tools. They were total shit.

Karma is a bitch.

All these choices and conflicting advice. Not an easy decision.

Well, in his defense he had some dude on the phone that was complaining about getting wet in the rain while on a motorcycle.

Both of mine have been fine, and I got my second one same time you did....from the same place. I know that info is of no help, but keep pushing them. It aint right. You can always sue them in small claims court for violating the warranty law. That is always worth a laugh.

And not shifting till 45 or so is hard as hell.

Yea, bout 550 now. Road it to see John, then down to babysit in granger. Yea, the bars are too narrow and the grips suck. Gonna fix that. Other than that it fits really good. Especially if I put the balls of my feet on the pegs and slide forward a bit. Cleaned the living hell out of it. Pulled the tank and some of the plastics. Pushed it down to the quarter car wash and soaked it in Purple Power and blasted it. Then buffed, polished and waxed it. Can't wait to see it in the light. I think it came out good.

Had my boots ready to go with the rest of the gear. No idea how they got left behind. Pissed me off, and I felt neekid.

@whaler and I just left. The MRI came back ok. No physical brain damage. But that does not indicate what brain activity there may be. Thet did so an EEG when he first got there. He is still sedated and the family expected to meet with the doctor this evening. Beyond that I dont have much to add.

I'm in. Weather is handled.

Yea, still got the little nubbies on them.

Not gonna do it. These tires are hard as hell.

No Dennis you earned your screen name, it is yours forever. I call Dibs on your Camero, but I hope you never sell it. Bike is epic. Needs a good cleaning and polish. Other than that it is perfect. Dennis actually had it cleaned and lubed... ready to go. I love this thing. It is exactly what I need for a second bike.

I am totally there. And probably the one at Nelson that is a bit earlier.
