Touratech Sport Saddle (lowest height because I am vertically challenged). Touratech Medium and Large (installed) windscreens. Touratech waterproof dual-USB outlet. Givi handguard extenders, (not installed). Akrapovic Titanium/Carbon slip on. Slight damage to left pannier from a gravel drive tip over. Closes and functions as it should. Some minor scratches to the left handguard from the same tio over. Nothing is broken. Sometimes GSAs fall down. This is easily the finest motorcycle I have ever ridden. It does everything very well. Fast, comfortable, excellent weather protection, perfect suspension, incredible brakes, every creature comfort.

I usually have a nice dose of the VID for breakfast every morning. Keeps me on my toes. Feel better, Jim. I hope Deb can steer clear.

Sorry for your loss.

Crab cakes at Howard's Pub. Do it.

I can post a screen shot once I get to my gate I am airport hopping today and my laptop is tucked away at the moment.

Do you have a computer? This link will show the route, but it won't work on your phone. https://goo.gl/maps/WJs2ezxnUtJ8LPEp9

This is the best move.

Your choices are limited. Slow down. Pony up for suspension. Remove (or modify) the center stand.

You don't. We just accept the fact that life isn't fair and courtroom justice is for daytime television. Jim's link doesn't apply to my case, as she had the basic coverage required by law. Violent crime. Pretty sure driving like a self-absorbed piece of human trash without insurance doesn't apply.

My lawyer told me I was basically SOL for recovering anything from the welfare queen that ran us over. Pretty sure he'd tell you the same thing.

Honda CBR1000... fast bike. Honda GL1800... less fast bike. Problem solved. Zero dollars. You're welcome.

How quick were you moving? I would scrape pegs on the Vulcan and Goldwing in tighter corners, but nothing excessive. 2-up at the gap proved to be a fireworks show of floorboard grinding, but that has to be expected on a fully dressed Harley wannabe. You can slow down for tighter turns, grind the stand or upgrade your suspension. My personal favorite is the latter, but it isn't my money.

Rain delay until tomorrow, which looks unlikely as well. Mother nature is a harsh mistress. Unless god did it...which makes her an asshole too.

I used to drag the centerstand on the Multistrada until it scraped enough material away that it was no longer an issue. Just do that.

Pulled the phone charger and reinstalled the Garmin. I couldn't look at it without wishing it wasn't there.

100 miles from Cadiz to New Martinsville. 100 miles from New Martinsville to Cox Mills. (there is a fuel stop due east at 47/33) 100 miles from Cox Mills to Woodsfield. That should take care of fuel stops.

The GSA is available if you want to tag along.

@Gpaw, what is your comfortable fuel range?

Looks like a fun adventure. Glad you like the ST. I've never heard anyone mention regret over buying one.

Hell yeah, Joel. Speed safe and share that loop when you get home. Looks great!

This logic is quite sound.

I plan on meeting you in Cadiz around 8:15. I took the liberty of polishing your route, if you're inclined to put in a long day of twists and turns. I'm game if you are. https://goo.gl/maps/WJs2ezxnUtJ8LPEp9 Edit: I'm also perfectly fine with the route you posted. I'm just excited to put more miles down on this new bike.
