I solder every wire connection I make and seal it with liquid tape Saves you a butt load of trouble later learned the hard way on boat trailers if there is any chance of it getting wet do not use those cheap connectors and going strait of the battery would not be a problem if you use a fuse in the line. If you are only running a GPS or Phone a 5 amp fuse would be plenty if you are going to run something with more power draw you can always change the fuse to a higher one.

I just push a button and it tells me the temp and oil level

I don't think my buddy Rusty will be able to make it

Thanks
I ordered the Wasabi power pack It will be the easiest for me I have a lighter outlet in my saddle bag so it will work great I can do the battery changes at stops in less than 5 minutes I will also have my laptop with me on the trip to Mt. Rushmore and will post pictures and videos at the end of each day if I’m not to wore out. I also ordered a few extra 64 GB micro cards just in case.

I have mounted mine everywhere on the bike the coolest looking pics are when I mount a 5 foot broom stick to my sissy bar and put the camera at the top pointing slightly down ether forward or backward you get some nice shots when riding in groups and on the twisties

What are some ideas for charging the batteries while riding they only last a little over 4 hours and I would like to record my trip out west.

Accu Weather forecast for June 12 Brilliant Sunshine high 74 low 51 Hope they are right but I have learn that they could not predict the weather right even if they were standing in it.

For safety and liability purposes when they test tires they cannot have any failures of at least 2 times the speed rating so you are good. When I worked for Eaton Corp our hydraulic hose could not fail at 3 times its stated working pressure
At 130 that could cut our time down to under 10 hours counting gas and food stops

I do not mind leading. just wanted to give you a heads up. I also wear ear plugs on long fast freeway rides at 60 my bike is not loud Im only running about 1800rpm at 80 about 2800rpm anything above 3000rpm it gets LOAD

Guys on the ride out and I will take the anchor position I do not think you will want to listen to my pipes at 80+ mph for too long. But I will take my turn at plowing the road to be fair when you want me to. I got out for a 250 mile ride today and my hips are sore. I need to get in a lot of saddle time between now and when we go to get back in riding shape.

If you were in your car the automatic camera on the patrol car would not have alerted him to the owner of the car not having a license since you have one to drive it so yes you would not have been pulled over

My son was a full time cop for 8 years you would be surprised how many criminals with warrants out on them that they catch that way also some of the newer cars have scanning cameras that do it automatically Welcome to the new world
I could argue both sides of this also

You need to fix the cause of the problem before you fix anything else so it wont happen again

Got out with the wife today we rode up to Chardon for Geauga County Maple Festival hung there for a few hours then headed over to Blazin Bills in Burton for dinner I heard a lot about the place and had a gift card that I won on a ALR run so we decided used it. On a 1 to 10 scale I rate the place a 4 there were only about 15 people in the place but it still took 50 min to get our burgers our fries did not show up until we were almost done with our burgers. But I can’t complain too much since we got it for free and I was with good company. My wife works tomorrow so I will be on my own just have to decide what direction I want to head in.

I love to mess with Squids its always fun to act like you want to race at a light and then when the light turns green watch them rocket off at 150 throw the intersection like a dumb ass it still makes me laugh every time. I know a lot of my buddies do the same thing. We all started on rice burners so we know better. We were all young and dumb at one time but you do not live to be and old rider if you say that way.

Every dealer I have ever dealt with has taken care of the plates for me They would call when they came in and even put them on when I went to pick them up. They are selling you a bike it should always be part of their customer service.

What kind of oil should I pull the trigger on when I wave or don't wave to other riders while wearing my novelty, "no shroom" helmet, assfull chaps (Not assLESS), fingerless gloves, and SOA vest while simultaneously wondering if others see me as a poseur or a biker considering I don't remember where I put my gas cap at the last stop?

Nothing to say just wanted to bump it back up to the top Ive been out riding as much as I can Need to put some calluses on my ass I have the weekend off then I work the next 16 days after that.
-
I agree with the above put a couple of hundred miles on the bike and pull the plugs again and clean them That way any leftover loose particles should be out You might be surprised how many are on the plug then I would not worry about it unless they look that way at the next oil change.
