Read a spiel about a guy in the area who got rear-ended and it paralyzed him.  Not sure this is a miracle cure, but every bit helps.  A while back I ordered an aux LED brake light... still waiting on that bad boy to come in.

A real bender: three quarts of golden dino chugged, chased by many ounces of pretty green cocktail in the nearly empty reserve, followed by a good chain cleaning, followed by a pro waxing.

Saw my first BMW RR today-it was so small, that head on I thought it was a 675 Triumph.

Big day for the FJR, changed the engine and rear end oil.  Changed Spark Plugs thenync'd the throttle bodies with my new homemade man-o-meter.  I will post some photos of that later.  Then I rode it a very quick 50 miles to make sure every thing was good to go. Over all much smoother and felt really quick.

I also tested my new AlpineStars Scout boots, and HJC modular helmet.  The boot are great but I need to do some adjusting with the gear lever.  There is not much flex in the boot and up shifting is real tricky.  Will adjust on that tomorrow.

New front tire, change the oil and a set of driving light to aid the poor excuse of a headlight on the Multi.

I almost dropped my 1098S trying to put it on the Pitbull in the driveway.  If it had gone any farther I wouldn't have been able to catch it.

Oh wait, you mean good things....  Never mind.

I blasted an engine case with walnut shells and spent the rest of weekend cleaning them outta every little crevice in the engine. Hopefully I'll balance the bottom end this week and start reassembly.

Rode 50 miles or so. Tweaked a few settings on my Garmin 478. Ordered a new set of tires. Thought about taking it to the shop for a valve clearance adjustment. Fiddled with my route to Texas.

Picked it up at the shop in Dover and rode home in the rain.

I took in it to have the valves checked. While it was there I had Dave go over the bike to make sure it's ready for the season. Also had the carbs synched and had steel braided brake lines installed. I should have done that long ago.
