Not sad, pathetic :stickpoke:
I did manage to double my year to date mileage today. It's a start.
I guess, but still pathetic. :lol:

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

Extra credit if you can guess the road. No cheating by looking at my spot tracker link..

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.

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.

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. :)

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.

It was nice of you to slow down to my speed while riding it.

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! Hang in there it will get better.

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!

I left my glasses as home or I would have noticed the speed limit sign.. :D

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.
