Got the rear brake recall done on both the '08 and the '10. Service manager asked if I knew I was missing a few screws on the '08...I replied, "yes, in 91,000 miles I have lost a few"

As long as you still have your nuts, you'll be ok.

Rode to work.  Had an insane day there.  Holiday crazies were everywhere.  Rode home; man what a stress reliever that was. 

FWIW I found out today that four two liter bottles of Diet Dr Pepper will not fit in one saddle bag, but two will, in each bag.  Off tomorrow and in the mid 70's.  Hope to get in a ride just for the sake of riding.  A great week to all and an early Merry Christmas... tp

Our 70's disappeared now... poof.  It is 32F as I post this and I am supposed to go for a ride this morning.  BRRRRR!  I am betting my riding buddy calls and chickens out :)

UPDATE: I was wrong, he didn't cancel and we went for a 2.5 hour ride... wasn't bad either, warmed up to as high as 50F, but stayed in the upper 40's.  I can't put it off any longer now, I have to go Xmas shopping :(

Went for a nice 2 hr ride with the break in the weather before the next round of cold wet stuff arrives. Did some maintenance including changing final gear oil and flushing/bleeding brake/clutch fluids, then will see how long winter lasts while C14 hibernates.  :)

And now it is going to be 80F on Christmas eve?????  Just wild.  I wish I could take the bike, but due to all the presents, I have to be "caged" :(

  80's here until next week, then back into the 60s.  Would be ok, except for all the rain forecasted.  Have a great trip Maxtog, and watch out for those on two wheels.  tomp

When on a Christmas Eve ride for a few miles 35 degrees is good enough.  Man my baby purrs, spring is how far away?

Awesome!  Impatiently awaiting your first ride :)  Given that it is a tropical Xmas in VA, perhaps we will know soon...

Went for a good ride today, In the 80's here too. While out, looked at the '16 RNineT, with the custom alloy tank.  Very sweet. 
Noticed my front tire is wearing very funny (and not HaHa funny either).  I'll post a pic later to see what y'all think.   

Merry Christmas to ALL.  tomp
