What did you do to your bike today?

Bought this one a few weeks ago because my standards are low and why not...

Actually, I let the wife pick it out with the only criteria being rear seat comfort...it came with a $700 Mustang Touring Seat.  I also considered the weird 2014 Valkyrie F6C even though stock tire sizes are basically out of production.

It was cheap, like new with low miles, so why not...

I got Bonnie a new trinket. A new tank bag. My current bag is getting a bit long in the tooth. I went to Iron Pony more than 20 years ago and got a tank bag for my Bonneville. I customized the bag with some Triumph decals. I have to tell you darlings. My tank bag looks marvelous.

Failed TIG Weld on my British Customs exhaust.  Shipped to CA for warranty repair that will probably take 2 weeks to get back.  

I really like that exhaust, but a failed weld seems like half-assed workmanship 🙄

Good thing I kept the OEM pipes and have 3 motorcycles 😄

Picked up a new retirement project bike to ride the backwoods this fall.

NO, My Air Force Wife photographer was having trouble understanding the operation of my 2001 Kodak easy share camera.Could have been my instructions "1 Compose the picture. 2 Press the Shutter button halfway to focus and set exposure. When the framing marks turn green, press the Shutter button completely down."
After three try's I was definitely RBF: Resting bitch face is a facial expression that unintentionally creates the impression that a person is angry, annoyed, irritated, or contemptuous, particularly when the individual is relaxed, resting, or not expressing any particular emotion.

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.

Twisted sisters was okay but I wouldn’t ride all the way to Texas just to ride it.  We went to Texas so my buddy could visit with relatives, and did the Sisters since we were there.  👍

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.
