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...

Just back to Ohio where I’ll begin prep for YT and AK departure on the 12th. 
I attended the Horizons Unlimited travelers meeting near Appomattox and had a great time hanging out with like minded people that don’t think you’re crazy for cashing in and leaving “normalcy” behind to create your own normal. 
On the way home I was hosted by Lauren and Paul Brenner at Rainbow Farm near the New River Gorge in WV. Aside from running an organic chicken farm and riding the world in their spare time (check out their YT channel “the other end of the Rainbow) they run the Appalachian Motorcycle Adventure tour company. Lauren took me for an awesome 250 mile loop through some crazy WV dirt roads. They cater to all skill levels up to hard enduro (they have one day ride with over 100 water crossings!). 
If you’re interested in using their services (highly recommended), their web page is here:

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.

I rode it around Bolivar area to let it get used to me. Stopped in Sherrodsville for fuel and some Gatorade. Should have done this a few years ago.

Are those big green panniers behind a special accessory? Waterproof liners?

Ya. You’d think that for BMW money they would be color matching
