Well after months of work, and waiting, finally got in a good long ride. 367 miles, and not one mechanical problem popped up. Bike ran great without a hitch, and really surprised me.
Now the bad part, while parking whens topped to eat lunch, was backing it in to parking spot. The ole body decided to give me a wake up call. Right knee blew out, and bike went down. Damage was minimal. scraped the lower right fairing, and a small trickle of gas came out tank and lifted the clear. The surprising thing where the gas hit the upper right no damage, but lifted the paint on the tank. Who knows? Broken brake elver, but already replaced. Just a quick 30 mile side trip to brothers and it was taken care of. So the proverbial 1st drop is done and over with, with a minimal amount of damage.
The worse part is I think may of torn cartilage again. Did I go home? no
Hospital? no, kept right on riding. Home now and hurts like hell. But truthfully who cares after todays ride.
