Are you sure that was a disapproving look? He could have been smiling broadly in approval.

It is hard to tell... but I'm going to stick with a look of disappointment. It was a look that made me feel rotten and ashamed inside. It motivated me to accomplish the task in hopes to be accepted... I'm afraid I may never succeed with that.

That wasn't a look of disapproval. That was his "I want to kiss you" look. Were you wearing short shorts?

You mean his normal face?

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.

Not at all surprised to read this. Tim, is there EVER a ride time for you when it DOESN'T rain?

Went for a ride where the weather never hit over 90 and the roads were curvy.

That's a big deal for me!

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.

No Zilla. Nate and I are Just Friends.

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

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....

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.

Got a new set of tires.
PR4 GT I am a creature of habit.
Now she is ready to tour.

Set of Dunlop Roadsmart 3 yesterday. Fluids and general maintenance last week. Leaving Sunday for a 12 day, almost 5000 mile solo riding/camping trip to Newfoundland.

Road to the gun store to pickup 357 mag brass and bullets. Again tomorrow. :>)

2 hours on the road is better than nothing. Planning for EOM 2020...

wheatonFJR · Post by **wheatonFJR** » Sat Aug 15, 2020 7:09 pm

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.

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.

Absolutely subscribed to this. Newfoundland is planted firmly in my bucket.

Have a great ride!
