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?

You don't have an app that records max speed, lean angle, acceleration g-force, deceleration g-force, etc?

So much awesome I can hardly stand it.

If it ain't too much trouble, I would love to know the whole route you took.

Yeah.. I think homeowners are required to carry flying motorcycle insurance on any structure within 50' of the road. Lol

Don't mix politics and medicine.

Planning on doing more aggressive exploring. Dan recommended them to me.

Mitas E07 Dakars on the way. $270/set to my door means I can afford to ride this giant, tire-gobbling behemoth of a bike... and buy groceries. Am a fan.

They're correct. When I said "considerably", I meant somewhere in the ballpark of .010". I know. I have issues.

Welcome and stuff. The Africa Twin is a cool bike. Congrats and speed safe.

@Skinny guy, Jason and I rode 555 last week. It had been a while. Took it all the way to 7 and then sat in construction traffic for 20 minutes. Do yourself the favor and double back once you hit the bottom.

The pics in my post were weirding me out, so I readjusted the risers in an attempt to have aesthetically pleasing pinch gaps. I noticed the left riser has considerably more gap than the right. That is the difference between $400 Wunderlich risers and this $125 set.

New saddle for the Voyager. It was beyond time for an upgrade. I wanted to send the factory seat in for a custom build, but 50% of the saddle users couldn't tell me what they wanted in a saddle. At the very least, this saddle gives me more data to make the next move..if need be. At the very best, this saddle sees this FRB through 70k miles of new adventures with me at the wheel. Other than fuel range and the nuclear furnace under my balls, this bike is really awesome to ride..and far cheaper than anything able to take its place. This saddle is a bit higher than factory, but I think that is mostly because it doesn't squash like the OEM saddle. I could feel the seat pan 20 minutes into a ride on that one.

Installed Rox risers and a Touratech sport saddle. This gets me closer to off-road action. Had to reroute the cable bundles to the outside of the fork legs, bit that was easier than the riser install. The saddle is 1.5" lower than factory height. This will make a difference for physical control and a little confidence booster for mental control. I think knobbies are in order next go around.

Mine hides under my grill cover. They must be related.

I heard a chap in WV spout this gem today... "Wearing a mask 4 months after an outbreak is like wearing a condom to a baby shower." Poor fucking idiot is actually convinced he is intelligent.

Sonuvabich.. I DO NOT want to make a FB account.

100⁰+ temps doing manual labor in a stuffy elevator shaft is how I spent May and June in a mask. If I can do it and not suffocate, Ohio soccer moms will survive. It's unfortunate that it had to be mandated, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

My cats are miserable, too. Poor little bastards.

They turn red the harder you beat them.
