Now they come pre-lubricated because these squids can't make them wet themselves.

I legit had some HD riders come up to me while fueling at the BP (78/7) asking if something was wrong with my 748. One asked, "How long has your bike been making that noise?!" "Geez... for about 27,000 miles, I think?! Should I get it looked at?" They didn't know what to say.

Absolutely despicable opinions. You both should be cast down a flight of concrete stairs.

Installed Android Auto onto the RT. I can navigate it with the WunderWheel. Used a three-wire BMW pigtail that plugs into the factory GPS harness to power the unit through the canbus. Unit mounts where the GPS would, using the factory mounting holes. Works well. Looks great. Easy to use. Turn the wheel left or right to move the "cursor", and the turn signal cancel switch is the "enter" key. Having issues with Google assistant, though. It hears "hey google", but prompts "Bixby". This doesn't happen in either of the cars, so it's got to be the unit. I'll sort it out later, but out of the box.. this is a solid upgrade.

Sold. Thanks, Bubba.

Solo 500 miles today. Needed that.

Left the house around 7am. Stabbed to Mineral Wells and took WV-14, 119S thru Charleston and picked up WV-85 and took that to WV-10 back to Huntington, WV. Slabbed to Teas Valley, US-35 to WV-34 back to I-77N. Am at my hotel in Mineral Wells, resting for tomorrow's ride. Time for a shower and some beer.

Sold, pending funds.

That'd make it a gosh-dagum Jamboree!

Two Wings on the same ride is a coincidence. Three Wings on the same ride is a Rally.

I'll swing down to say hi, but will probably be on the Goldwing... peeling off to tour a random diner... in slow motion.

True story.

Thank you, Bubba. If I regret it enough, I'll overcorrect with a new 1250RS.

Same as last Sunday. Lunch in RV. Took the RT. Beautiful day. When we got home I took the Wing for a carburetor flush down the interstate. Ran her about 80mph on the way out and about 60-65 on the way home. She's got enough under the hood to tour at 90 mph, but shes really all about that right-lane, speed limit touring lifestyle. Amanda wants to get vintage tags, so I guess it's a parade bike, too. Next time you see me on it, I'll be sporting black shorts, white t-shirt, white velco kicks and a boomed 3/4 helmet.

Had a nice solo ride this morning. Took the 542 around the lake to 39/212/800/22 - stopped for a burger and fries on 22 - then 22 into Cambridge to grab CR-21 to 77. Fuel in Bolivar and then 212/21 into Massillon and backroads home from there. Installed risers onto the RT and replaced the Ilium Werks highway pegs with the set I had on the GSA. Less is more. Ordered a backpad like the one that comes on the GTL for Amanda. My new Sargent saddles should be here in a week or so. Bike is just about cross-country ready.

No. GS is gone. RS is going to go, too. The RT hits the spot just between the two of them. Surprised how good it is.

US-50 anywhere west of WV sucks.

I'm on BMW #3 and Goldwing #2.

Hey man.. I'm just glad your balls are holstered and not dragging the ground in this photo. I think she did a great job.

Edited title for market inflation adjustment.

Sounds kinky.

Amanda is leaning toward letting the Wing go in favor of the RT. She likes it a lot and thinks I should keep the RS as a spare BMW. Everyone needs a spare BMW, right?

Amanda and I had our maiden voyage on the RT. We took OH-212/93 to Roscoe Village for BBQ and then came home via 60/62/83 into Smithville/OH-21. Good weather. Good roads. Good food. Good day.

If you aren't going to 100% adhere to break-in, at least refrain from extended runs at the same RPM. (highway) I'm one to tend toward the break-in, but with a few high-revs mixed in on occasion. My advice is purely anecdotal.

Thanks, Bubba. I appreciate the assist. Like I said, I hate to sell it.. but I'm feeling slightly gluttonous at the moment.
