Rode it like it was Wheatons bike. 340 miles of delicious twisties today.

Today I mounted the readout for the TPMS sensors, when I got home I changed the settings so the damn thing would stop flashing constantly.

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Holy hell, I forgot how unsafe the roads are down there! Their supposed to be 4 lanes wide, arrow straight and strewn with pot holes and cracks to keep you from speeding. How the hell have you guys managed to survive with roads like that! I'd complain to the powers at be.jwilly wrote: ↑Sun Jun 02, 2019 9:43 pm Rode it like it was Wheatons bike. 340 miles of delicious twisties today.

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Would love to know which road that was. I may have ridden it, but can't tell from the video. I did see a "Speed Limit 35" sign, which was obviously a mere suggestion.Festus wrote: ↑Sun Jun 02, 2019 9:51 pmHell yeah! LOVED that!

Rode my coworkers bike again for work. Today is his first day back after almost 8 weeks off. He was actually happy to see it in the parking lot.

EDIT: Saw the ortho doktor today, he said that bone healing is not progressing, but my shoulder is moving as a unit and I don't feel pain typically, so...since it's been 10 weeks, what the hell let's start some PT!

That sounds like good and not so good news, I'm with you, let's get the PT thing going! Look at it this way, you are still upright on the topside of the grass and taking nourishment!

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
It's Wayah Road, It runs from 74 SE down to 64 just East of Robbinsville, NC. The last few miles at the East end are a little rough but the rest of it is great!Hppants wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2019 1:33 pmWould love to know which road that was.

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Today was clean and lube day:
brake & clutch levers, shift and brake levers.
Found I had lost a pinch screw at the top clevis of the shift linkage, Lowe's Hardware had one. 6mm-1.0x20. And the little rubber boot on the clutch push pin is torn, nothing bound up yet. New cylinder rebuild kit and clutch bushing ordered. Looking hard at replacing headlight bulbs with F2 LED Ray recommends. My maintenance book says it's been 3 yrs since replacing h/l bulbs, surely I can justify spending $$ now, eh.
