I didn't do anything to my moto today, still got two months left on this deployment. My wife commented about the fact there is a large pile of parts awaiting my return:

Bike Bullets with Pod Mod (LED marker lights that "twinkle" for visibility)
MCL passenger footpeg extensions with pegs installed
Murphs driver footpegs
Beadrider passenger seat
Eastern Beaver PC-8 fuse box
Stebel Horns
New wiring kit for heated vest
PR4's
CH tank bag

There's probably a few other small things in the pile o'parts. Hopefully I can get most things installed in one or two days before my June trip to Cape Spear, Newfoundland.

Can't talk her into getting those parts installed while you're away?

What did you do with your bike today?

Absofreaking nothing.

Delivered bike to dealer on Thur after work for replacement of the two TPS and new tires + rear brake recall.  Asked for it to be completed by Sat morning.

Most beautiful weekend of the year.  Called dealer this morning- they haven't even STARTED working on my bike and won't do anything with it today, either.  Weekend ruined.  I don't want to do stupid chores.  Spent three hours trying to mow the lawn with a broken mower that dies under any load when it gets hot.  What a life.

Take the mower to the dealer and pick up the bike. Have him not work on the mower and you can ride the bike.

I wish it worked that way.  Seems they are slammed due to the season.  I wanted to get this done much sooner, but so slammed at work.  Hopefully I will get it back Monday after work, if I can make it over there.  It is overdue for 7500 service (I think I am at 9000 now?)... I might have made a huge mistake by not having them do that now... thinking I can do it myself or with assistance from a friend.  Same friend I want to help me with the Throttle Tamer install that is collecting dust.

As an aside, I do think they work on mowers....  the "cruiser" variety, if you know what I mean...

I don't think there's a dealer in a hundred miles open on Monday.

Your dealers have an aversion to Mondays??  Strange.

I used to have an aversion to Mondays myself, who doesn't? Retirement was the cure for that ailment!   :)

I rode it !

I know, I know, it doesn't sound very exciting to you "southerners" but up here, we had our first really nice weekend this year, so I got it out of it's winter storage, and after jumping it off the van's battery, rode it.   I put over 200km on the bike (about 120 miles) without actually going anywhere... I mean, I rode with no destination in mind...  just rode.

I'm sooo glad winter's finally over...  (except the weatherman says we might get some more snow on Thursday...  Hope he's wrong.   BDF's wishes for snow notwithstanding)

Yep, most of my rides are like that (not usually that long, but without a destination).  I just pick a direction and go, trying to get lost.  And when I do get lost (which isn't too difficult for me), I use the GPS to get home :)

+1 on this! Lately I just point the bike in a direction and ride. Last time I just went west and took two lane roads all the way to the Mississippi river.    :)
