That wasn't a look of disapproval. That was his "I want to kiss you" look. Were you wearing short shorts?natehawk750 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 10, 2020 3:23 pmIt is hard to tell... but I'm going to stick with a look of disappointment.

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Rode it. 4 hours, 3 of it in temps hovering in the mid 90's. We're on the west coast of Michigan now.
Found a couple of Mass-holes...
Designflaw was here, but he headed home and took the rain with him...
M22 scenic loop tomorrow.

Went for a ride where the weather never hit over 90 and the roads were curvy.
That's a big deal for me!

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Actually I like 5 on the FJR.
I have 6 on the MT09 and seem to always be looking for the right gear.
I would like 6 on the FJR if they left the first five alone.
You are correct I didnt need a sixth.

People can be so judgmental. You kiss one man and the next thing you know... Honestly Zilla you sound jealous.

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Left the house at dawn for about 200 miles of 2-wheeled therapy. Took a few pictures. Home by noon to beat the worst of the heat.
I'm still about 7-ish weeks from my next adventure, so it would have to do, and it worked.
Stay thirsty, my friends....

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
We finally bumped up from the upper 90's to the triple digits this past week. Looks like a cold front coming. 70F in the morning? I think I see the return of some morning rides for me coming soon. High of 90F on Monday, I think I feel illness coming on.

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Not today, but tomorrow morning, heading up for a half day leisurely ride to the BRP via 215, heading west until 74, then back down through Sylva to points southward on whatchamacallit road to back home. Practicing for when Duane can ride again...id like to be able to keep him and his new suspensioned FJR in sight.
Sunday seems to be my play day.

Re: What did you do to your FJR today?
Soaked (soaking, actually) the bugs off the front with a wet towel. Getting ready to go see a friend in Topton.
Pulling the aerostich out. It’s weird to do that in mid August. But temps will be below 70 where I’ll be until noon.
