What did you do to your FJR today?

[hppants]

260 miles today for Pants and MikeP1300. We packed a sandwich and picnicked in the National Forest. Took a walk in the woods to check out an eagle's nest. Rode the 115-ish miles home straight. Mid 50s and sunny today. Nice weather for a change.It's taking 3 bikes to do it, and I've still got 3 days left, but with a little bit of luck, I might make 15,000 miles this year in the saddle.Stay thirsty, my friends....

You easily would have gotten to 15K had you not had your get off. While 15,000 is nothing to balk at, you of all people get so much out of your miles. I would venture that the miles you get are really high quality based upon your literature that comes from them. The ride reports are great, but only tell half the story of how awesome those miles are. Milestone are what they are but "smilestones" are what I am after now. I have ridden some big mile days, seen too much interstate, and missed way too many smiles in an attempt to make miles. I need to get into your groove as it appears so much more rewarding based upon your resulting prose!!!!

Well, I got sick yesterday and decided to stay home. Not much better today, so I'm afraid this year's total will be just short at 14,862 miles. Seeing as though I crashed about 1,000 miles from home (shortest route) and missed about 4 weeks of riding after the crash, I'd say I was on target for at least 16K and perhaps as much as 17K. One year I rode almost 18,000 miles. As a weekender/tourer only rider, that's not too shabby.

Hope 2016 is at least 25,000 miles for me.

Marie and I took a ride today. 84 degrees w/ humidity, c'mon cold front! Still, it was a nice ride exploring back roads we've never been on. What a way to finish off the year.

Shoveled the driveway and wished!

Picking away at the shop to-do list and getting the bikes ready for sale. Spending too much time on the neenernet looking for farkles.

I just replaced the steering head ball bearings with tapered bearings. Next, change fork oil and fork springs.

Pushed the bike outside yesterday in the cold and left it there all day. I proceeded to clean the shop and reorganize everything. Hopefully getting another machine in soon. She just barely started at the end of the day, 36 degrees outside. Still on the original battery.

I'm jealous. That 16 in blue is going to be an amazing bike. Do you have a buyer for the old one already?

I'm hoping to see a 2016 FJR next Saturday at the Miami Progressive international motorcycle show. I hope I don't fall in love. I'm getting a little butt hurt about everyone calling my 2014ES lipstick pink.
