What did you do to your Spyder today?

[Peter Aawen]

We just got home from a 1600 mile trip up to Rocky Mountain Natl Park, then down to Taos to visit the Vietnam Memorial. Dropped down to Socorro, NM and came home across the rim. Might be one of the worst trips we have taken. Everything from freezing rain and hail, temps over 100, and road construction everywhere.

But it was 'a trip', and you were out there doing something, weren't you?!!

I often tell people who express amazement (or horror! ) at the weather & other conditions that I am out riding in, that I live by this 'Rule':

"The absofreakinlutely WORST day riding still beats any day at work; and generally beats just about any other day as well!"

(I will, however, admit that there are just a couple of exceptions to that 'Rule'; but the Child Bride insists most strenuously that I shouldn't share any info about those days on a public & PG Rated Forum?! )

No riding for me, since I had Angioplasty surgery last Friday. I'm not supposed to flex my right wrist or lift more than 10 lbs.
There's been some great days for riding lately.
I'll be back in the saddle soon.

Do you have an idea how long your going to be restricted? Hopefully you'll be back in the saddle in short time....

Another day or two. Can't wait.

Another day or two. Can't wait.

I'll be in that spot in just a couple of weeks. I have some sort of mass in the back of my right arm that is in the muscle tissue, which most likely is just some type of cyst that is being removed. I am going in for surgery and it will require a layer of stitches in the muscle as well as the skin, so I won't be able to do anything strenuous with it for a couple of weeks afterward. I'm glad that I installed that cruise control for my upcoming trip in late September, I'll need it to keep the stress off my arm/muscle on the Highway.

Installed Lamonster folding 3rd pegs, another quality product! Then went for a fifty mile ride. My face hurts?

I took a ride today, I went to Plattsburgh, New York, took the ferry across the lake. It was a great day to be on the ferry.

That'll be the 'Miles of Smiles' grin!

The Child Bride always knows if I've been Spyder riding while she was out, she calls it a 'dead give-away S***-eating grin' tho!?!

Replaced the plastic Ibolt RAM plate on my Lamonster RAM Ball base with a HD M10 x 1.25 aluminum RAM ball. Simply unscrewed the plastic plate and drilled/tapped for the pictured HD RAM ball. My Garmin Zumo XT2 will not bounce around anymore. At the least, Lamonster should switch their $7 plastic plate base to a $12 aluminum plate base, where the RAM ball has a steel insert.

The last of the supplies for the upcoming 3000 mile service came in today! Just 500 more miles and it'll be ready for it.

 

[jzeiler]

Took a ride with my bride and burned up 100 miles of Tennessee back roads before it got too hot.

This statement - TRUTH

Went for a short 60 mile ride. 1st one in 9 days. Right wrist still a tad cranky, but worth the effort. Beautiful out today. Got back to town and topped off with some $5.59 per Gal Shell 91 octane.

 

[SteveandBelinda]

Swapped around tires/wheels and cleaned the K&N air filter. Sturgis bound in 7 days.

What did you clean your air filter with? Hate to pay another $25 for the cleaning kit

I have the cleaning kit from past K&N's.. Sorry.

Nothing. It is too hot - we are having a heat wave this week.

Rode to another town only to find the restaurant we had decided on closed down, so ended up riding a bit and went back home as the wife says she'll cook up something rather than hunt up someplace else... Nice 60 mi excursion!

 

[Dasmoetorhead]

Went up to the airport to see some WWII Warbirds that were here this weekend. On the way home, I detoured to McKinleyville CA.

These finally arrived.
