Woke up early to go riding, the battery didn't have enough charge to turn the engine over after the trip to TN/GA. Plugged it into the trickle charger and went back inside, deflated.

Yeah. I'm fine. Had a dizzy spell and was pulling off the road when it happened. Was no more than 5mph total.

Glad to hear you’re good. Sorry about the bike.

Started prepping for the out west trip today. Figured out the best way to mount the tail bag on my rear seat (it was a little trickier than i  thought)and started to figure out what I was taking/packing and where it was going to go. T minus 19 days.

Gonna make it out my way at all? I'd be down to meet up somewhere to ride... I probably already asked you, but I'm drunk and don't feel like re reading... I'm not even sure if this thread is the out west or the random thought one as I type this 😂

Flushed the brake system for the first time. It was nice to see yamaha made it easy to actuate the ABS pump without fancy tools. New top case and rack was delivered today so I will be getting that installed tonight.

New Givi V47 trunk and SR357 rack. The Yamaha top case busted and kept cracking. This case has more storage volume and it's a usable volume.

 If you still have that buyer's remorse I guarantee it will disappear once you pack for our trip

Mounted less blocky looking sliders that aren't white with black paint.(anybody need no cut 09-12 R1 brackets made of cast potmetal)

Put  bullet connectors on the ecu wire I cut yesterday to test out the second fuel map on my chip on the ride to work. I was right seller was wrong the chip only had one map, no start.

found a crack on my sargent seat pan that was reinforced with carbon weave hydrodip.

Cool man, not track because no gauntlet, but sturdy palm will save ya for sure.  Cool looking, what size did you get?

I wear XL in the A*

My goto summer gloves are my SMX-1 so when I see the 2's on closeout I could not resist having a back up pair.

New Roadsmart 3s for the trip out west.

New front brake pads too these probably would have been fine for the trip but didn't want to take a chance when I had a new set in the tool box already.

My used but still usable tire collection is growing. Keeping tabs on the miles I put on them and will put them back on sometime this year to use them up.

Also changed the oil. I little early but will keep me from worrying about doing it during the trip.  Fresh WIX filter and 5qts of Rottela T6
