I hugged it.  Can't ride just now for medical reasons but I still love my bike. Lol

 Sad  Been there, done that.  I'm not sure if it's worse when the bike is hurt or I am.  Lol

Rode the 600 to work this morning. This afternoon, we're going to look at a house, then I'm coming home to tear apart the brake on it. Replacing pads, and the rear is sticking. While I'm at it, I need to do the fluid change I've been neglecting since I got it...

Have I mentioned I miss riding my 1100? I do.

Took off the dash and wind screen to eliminate the BUZZZZZ that it has had since new last fall.

I had taken it to the dealership in October and the said it was as it should be that all the parts were there.

Well, all the parts were there, just installed incorrectly.

25 minutes later.... no vibe at all.

The same dealership that had the tires over inflated by 10 psi.

I may have to go elsewhere for service.

Mine finally started, and I rode it into town.  Bigok  New cylinder head solved all my problems, and now I have lots of extra parts too.

I loaded a metal detector and T-post hammer onto the seat, stuffed the top box and tank bag full of groceries and burnt off some more of the chicken strips on the way to and fro the jobsite.  Thumbsup

I lowered the bars.  They are on an adjustable holder which I had in upper position.  I like the feel better with the bars lower.  Added a larger topcase; I could stuff Dot's SV650 in there.

See?
