That's okay his name isn't Steve

But the Amish suck? I could call my guy and be hammering boards by monday morning close to those prices with concrete if I wanted to build another one.

Looks like the deal is gone.

Not sure how long it will last or if every one gets the extra 20% I got but this is a kick ass deal. Check out the final price in cart at check out. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MISDH4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

Last of the checks before the big trip in 11 days. Coolant, brake and clutch fluids, final drive oil and checked important bolts for tightness. The old silver turd is ready for 7000 miles of western us(of)a adventure. Day before the trip i'll recheck tires and seat in the the brake pads and finish packing. Other than that I'm ready to roll, well the equipment will be I hope i will be.

You don't like to ride....to go ride?

The men's version of those overpants are what I've worn for the last 4 years. I just wear athletic short underneath on hots days and jeans under on cold days and have zero complaints about them. They are a great value for the money and RD has awesome pricing on Tourmaster stuff.

It takes 8 of them for the front alone. One for each caliber piston.

New Roadsmart 3s for the trip out west. New front brake pads too these probably would have been fine for the trip but didn't want to take a chance when I had a new set in the tool box already. My used but still usable tire collection is growing. Keeping tabs on the miles I put on them and will put them back on sometime this year to use them up. Also changed the oil. I little early but will keep me from worrying about doing it during the trip. Fresh WIX filter and 5qts of Rottela T6

I'm sure you don't want me to go into TMI detail but... Due to medical reasons I can't ride my bike for at least the next 12 days. Going to bum me out. All I can do it get her ready for the trip out west and hope my issue is resolved by then. On other notes, my wife got ran over by a firetruck in her daily driver Thursday. Front end damage, she was sitting in traffic with the truck then they got a call. They lit up the lights sirens right next to her and she attempted to get out the way but they didn't wait for her to be clear and ran their rear tires up over her front bumper. Totally their fault but due to lights and sirens being on my insurance has to cover it minus the deductible, but they are going to rule it as a "no fault accident". Still waiting on the insurance to do their thing but it is driveable. AND.....The other morning she decided to take a tumble down the steps leaving the house and broke her hand. In a soft cast till she sees another doc. It's been a bad week for us. So we are sitting at home watching a harry potter marathon on USA and self medicating. It's the safest thing we can do right now I think.

I wear XL in the A* My goto summer gloves are my SMX-1 so when I see the 2's on closeout I could not resist having a back up pair.

Wasn't to the bike but Revzilla has these on closeout. Pretty damn comfy and a step up to my V1's. Got them for $37 with some zilla cash I had on my account.

I wouldn't mess with the top number if they say run 50 I'd run 50. The bottom or cold number can vary based on climate. I run 5-40 in mine that calls for 10-40. Even in summer month it helps with my timing chain chatter.

Put a new brake light kit in my Givi box. The lights that were in it only half worked. Cracked the damn lens taking them out so new lenses will be in the future but for now just glued it.

Zero issues with my amish barn. I did complain about the retaining wall they put in and he told me verbally he would help me resolve it when I was ready. And really can't say it was his fault. The guy I hired to do the finish excavation didn't drain it right. And he (non amish) is being a ass about it. Now on the other hand my dad had his built by the same amish guy and his concrete is cracking bad. I'm pretty sure they didnt didn't put any mesh in it and the never came back to saw any seams. And he's telling my dad he's SOL. When. he built mine I made sure he did those things and mine is fine.

If you still have that buyer's remorse I guarantee it will disappear once you pack for our trip

Tourmaster make tall sizes and @RidersDiscount has insane prices on TM stuff. Tourmaster isnt a premium product but they have pick up the slack over the last few years. I'd call them a upperend of a middle of the road line now.I'm currently running the Tourmaster Advanced Jacket and the Overpant. For hotter weather I have a JoeRocket mesh jacket that also comes in tall sizes. Here is the tourmaster size charts I would recommend trying the stuff on at Pony before ordering on line or from RD because TM sizes are generous. https://www.tourmaster.com/sizing_charts I wear a Large Tall Jacket and XL Tall pants and they are a tag big in the waist but i needed the extra length.
