The past week and a half on my bike

So I got home on August 7th and the first thing I wanted to do was ride. Where I was I had gotten to shoot enough rifles to satiate that desire, but I was desperate to get my fix of "speed". I got in late or early depending on how you look at it but the bottom line is that I was tired. I slept late and once I was awake I suited up and started the bike. Even though she hadn't been run for over a month, she warmed up quickly. I hopped on the saddle and headed toward my alma mater. I had a little bit of paper work to do to finish my ties with ROTC so I made way on the 47 mile trek. It felt good to hear the engine purring nicely at a steady 6000 rpms equating to an indicated speed of 70mph. However, I may or may not have ajourned slightly faster than this at several points throughout the trip. When this was done I made my way to my favorite gun store and picked up the two pistols I had ordered several months prior (Taurus 24/7 OSS in 9mm and a Cobra Patriot in .45). On the way I got caught in a nice downpour that left both me and my undergarments soaked. Nothing could wash the smile from my face, I drove on towards the clear skies and the storm was over.

A week later and over 700 miles more have accumulated on the odometer. This has included several group rides and several solo rides. In between was a valve clearance check, an oil change, a subsequent leaky valve cover fix, and a lot of good times. More of this to come, its too late to keep typing. Did I forget to mention that I ordered Nelson Rigg silverstreak saddlebags, a National F-16 sport touring windshield, and progressive springs? And on the bidding is a wider(katana) rear wheel, katana rear suspension....and I will be needing some new tires shortly.

Until tomorrow....
