Not myself (I'm too lazy, not experienced and at work 7 days a week), but had some maintenance done this week: valve adjustment, CCT replaced to manual, new air filter, spark plugs, brakes bleed. Bike is purring like a kitten now :)
It's pretty cool getting rid of that start-up clatter, isn't it.

Today everything aligned just right and I got my wife to go on a good ride, roughly 50 miles of dirt roads and about 65 paved. It’s the first time she has ridden on the new to us Corbin seat. She said it is a wonderful improvement over the stock pillion seat. A252C123-9830-4C85-942A-6A26EE3574E0.jpeg

Nice. Hmmm. What did I do today, well, trout season opened today, so I strapped my fishing rod onto the rear of my Tenere along with a lunch and a thermos of coffee. I packed a fold up canvas chair onto her as well. Off to the Maitland River for some rainbow fishing...ah shit, all I caught was a little bass.
It was a beautiful day up here in Ontario Canada...finally spring has arrived, er, I hope.

That is a nice set-up. And, SHUMBA probably has a good set-up also. It was just me being a smart ass, and seeing if anybody else remember the Ronco reel. :)
I have an original Garcia 300. Made in France. I'm 69, and I have had my reel since I was 16 or so.
Works a treat.

Well, that was a premature joy. It feels like the bike lost power at low RPM, not very stable idle with hiccups, mileage dropped 3-4 MPG. Engine feels kinda "harder". Now I wonder what exactly did they screw up.

Yes two camera system. Its kind of a cheapo, I have no idea how well it works. Has some nice features for the price point and claims to be waterproof. If the weather warms up enough today I may go for a quick ride and test it and the Cruise Control I installed.... current'y 35F ( 2C)

Price jumps around I paid about $135 for it.....

Put some different shoes on. Back tire was worn, 4000 miles, Bridgestone Ax41r. Font tire was worn uneven on the knobs. 8200 miles on the front. Shinko e804.

Put on Mitas E07 non Dakar. Hopefully these last until these are back in inventory. 26B1B193-5BAE-4F14-BD9D-72AECFC478BC.jpegB98EB928-9759-4269-B941-968D0D89E631.jpeg68F7EF2D-8E4C-448F-A500-14C137D56A5C.jpeg

Meatballs in a bag?
Utter blasphemy! :cool:
Not all "meatballs in bag" are created equal. Now, WM's Great Value. . . . they are on the lower end of quality. But, H-E-B (Texas grocery store) has fan-tastic meatballs in a bag. They're almost as grandma's. I'm a effort V reward guy. Most of the time, I'm too tired to put a lot of effort into my meal(s) so, when I can find a quick & easy meal that tastes good. . . . I'm in. He's redeemed with the Corona. I killed my six-pack. . . . just to watch it die. :D

They outlawed riding here for the next few months (years probably) unless necessity like getting groceries. My summer is done, so for the first time put the super tenere under a cover and put all my riding equipment away. Looks like the end of riding around here at least for this summer. Only people working or doing anything in Denver are 1,000,000 illegal mexicans building 10,000 new apartment buildings. Virus restrictions do not apply or effect them.
What do you mean they outlawed riding there? By there were are you talking about. That is not constitutional! You are still an American Citizen!
