Now I do. Lol

I have been working some hella hours and my recovery time has been diminished. I broke down and paid a tiny Asian lady to beat the shit out of me for 90 minutes. She walked a mile on my back, ass, legs, arms and shoulders. Then she contorted my skeleton from my toes to my head until everything cracked and stretched. A good part of this work over was fairly painful because I had knots everywhere, but I feel like a new man today. Woke up with no body aches, except for my feet. Plantar fasciitis is looming in the left foot. I can feel that all day, every day. Today it was the least noticeable in long time.

They make that handlebar kit for the 1st gen Hevybusa.

Isn't the goal to be in a position that is stable enough you could let go of the outside bar mid-corner? Serious question, because that is what I was taught during my very short, very distant stint at Mid-Ohio. Looking at his right arm.. it is 90⁰ to the bar. That is an awful lot of leverage. Straight across the tank is more parallel, thus reducing force and total available travel. A straight arm can't get straighter. That bent elbow can punch a hole right through his available traction. I have stayed at so many Holiday Inn Expresses, that I can use the fancy parking spots... AND I get free water.

I get mine made from scratch. All but the Amish sausage.

FUUUUUUUUUCK YOU!

All these food pics make me miss my motorcycle.

Always take the long way around Chicago. It is worth it, unless you know the super-secret back way through downtown.

Why would anybody buy a Pan America when they can get a Tiger or GS? I have yet to hear one of my motorcycling enthusiast friends clamoring for this last-ditch effort to form relevance. Do I want HD to go under? No. Do I get what I want? Rarely. This all falls on the MC's shoulders. I played no part in this catastrophe and what happens is of zero consequence to my life. HD made their bed, now they can drink it.

He can't handle that bike and I won't look at a BMW with cast wheels.

That is not what he likes inside of him.

Astars Belize boot, brown, 42.

I mount mine on the dash of the Voyager with 3M velcro. Works fine.

Cherrycola Skyway? Never heard of it.

No idea. Sold it with less than 1000 on the tires.

I have begun off-road mods. Tires being installed, aux lights pulled, passenger pegs pulled, mud deflector pulled. Began the final drive service and the gear lube looked good. No burnt smell or large pieces of casting. The splines also look good and no water inside the swingarm. I will probably yank the mirrors and install those ugly ball-in-socket mirrors. I will also install a final drive relocation breather kit, lower engine guard braces and plug the red pill into the harness. Down the rabbit hole I go...

I had PR4s on the Duc and they stuck like glue at a "not-so-touring" pace, but the Angels I replaced them with gave a lot more feedback when pushed hard. I prefer the Angels, as they're cheaper and just as grippy.

Andy has the reach on Craig, but Craig has that Mexican wrestling style. It will be a good show.

Then fight to the death.

Nice, short blast home on some majorly fun roads. First overnight WV trip of the year for me and long overdue. I got home around 2:30, had a mile of sprinkle before pulling in the garage. Left my disgustingly odorous helmet and riding suit hanging on the porch, showered, ate, passed out... conscious again. Thanks, @Tpoppa and @Skinny guy for the amazing ride. It was a great time.

Maine won't let you in if you are not from NH or VT. Well, you can't make hotel reservations, anyway.

Slabbed to meet the Wunderboys last night. Today was 438 miles of Appalachian shenanigans. Had some river trout. Showed Tony the race line on WV-20. Time for a shower, some beverages and maybe a cigar to reward a ride well done. I want to ride Tony's bike, but he used up all the sticky stuff. Perhaps next time?
