WD40 and it's scientists beg to differ. They actually recommend it for some rubber applications. It will simply evaporate over time. For a tire installation, it will work fine. I'm not saying No-Mar Tire Lube isn't a great product, but I've never seen any ill affects of using WD40 to install tires other than being greasy at first. (Changed over 70 tires in the last 12 months)

No Android Auto support sucks. Center stand is $150, and I figure you won't see too many at the dealerships without one. Much like bag liners, they will order them with it.

Yeah, that;s what Dad would want. Touring model, non-DCT. He uses an Iphone, so he can utilize the Apple CarPlay. What I thought was odd is the center stand is an option. I guess that's how you cut costs.

Yep, looks like me and Dad are probably going to bike week for a demo ride. I think he is pretty much sold on it.

Cops are a nature of the beast when riding aggressively on the street. I don't run, I got a ticket this year in northern Ohio. He had his lights on before I went past him. I paid my fun tax and moved on. 21k miles so far this year, and I have had very few encounters where I was worried about cops.

Here's what I got on my $12 wireless charger with some apps running in background.

I use WD40 on every set of tires I change. If you get it on the tread, it's slick for a few miles.

There's a warehouse fire across town from my work. Got sent home yesterday due to the smoke, and got today off as well. Awful slow start to the week.

Another photo to add to the collection...

Just rolled into the driveway. 1403 miles. What a great final trip of the year. Awesome roads and awesome people to enjoy them with. I am already looking forward to the next one.

Another great day of riding. FYI, Bojangles in Marion Virginia is not officially open. The local mexican restaurant was good though.

We may or may not have jumped a few speed bumps last night.

Time for dinner...

It's kinda like visiting a relative. "Well back in my day....."

Terry has your seat already? Wow, that's surprising he had openings that quick.

Just made it to our hotel in Franklin. Now off to Cafe Rel for dinner...

Gonna be a rough day today. Nothing but terrible flat straight boring roads. BRP, Foothills, Dragon and Cherohala. That's all before lunch.

You're just jealous

Says the guy who almost hit Tim last fall gap trip

Made it to our first dinner for the night. Buffalo Wild Wings. Only a short walk...

I'm gonna try to get out of work a little early. @Tonik I thought you were gonna be the pivot man?
