Went and checked again. Just found a tiny scrape, probably 1/4" long, on the bottom of the left side case.
I told you not to look closely!!All your fault. You made me curious. . . .tp
Tom, sorry to hear about dropping your bike. Hope you're pride faired as well as the bike.With all the years I've ridden and raced off road, coming off a bike is an expected thing. I did do it in front of probably 30 folks yesterday, and was only concerned that I had scraped up the plastics.
I almost dropped my today. Making a U-turn in couple of parking spots so I could back in, and I put my foot down and it slipped on the wet ground. Somehow I saved it though.
This was during my 330 mile ride in the rain. It's a balmy 43 here in Thunder Bay Ontario.
I am figuring that out now. While having breakfast, I mentioned to the waitress that it's nice to see the sun. She said that it was really warm out. I checked the temp on my phone and seen that it was 50. So since I'm from Florida, it's clear that "warm" is a relative term.
Sadly my Rostra quit on me yesterday. So now I'm looking at 3000+ miles home that I will actually have to hold the throttle. Spoken in my best northern accent... Oh curve balls life throws atcha eh!

No Cruise =
3000 miles without some sort of throttle lock would suck. At least pick up a friction lock.

And if you can't find one of those, get a coat hanger.

Arrived into DC late this afternoon, peak rush hour. I was in route to meet a fellow COG member. I was going around a traffic circle and my bike quit. No power to anything. The KiPass was working, but nothing would happen when the key was turned on. I sent a message to Matt and he promptly arrived with his truck and we loaded it up. While I was waiting for him to arrive, I checked by battery connections, all was good.
We unloaded the bike and he started checking things. After about 20 minutes, he found a plug connection under the left fairing that had loosened up. It must have been something that I had taken apart once and failed to fully clip it closed.
It sucks breaking down, but I must say, this was the best place it could have happened. Considering all the places that I have been in the past 12 days. God was watching out for me!
