    A word of advice.

    Remove the center stand before a track day

    A very big thank you to OOTV, who not only had the parts to make my bike rideable again, but brought them to the track for me.

    I owe you brother.

Covered 250 miles relatively clear roads, some still covered in the winter gravel. Crossed over the Atlantic as well.

    Too bad I didn’t have a DMr shock to add to the stuff I brought you huh?! Glad you got everything back together. I would have liked to stay and help you but my duty as a son called.

    Surprised my mom by showing up today and then we went to see my dad at the hospital. He has another surgery scheduled for Monday, so crossing my fingers it all goes well. Glad I rode the 6 Gen today, as the traffic going and returning was a bit congested, nothing a little lane splitting didn’t overcome though.

    After a thorough front to rear spring cleaning on the bike, The wife and I took her out. Went up A1A to Fernandina Beach. Beautiful day for a ride and people watching. Took the ferry on the way home. 20180407_185430.jpg 20180407_185430.jpg 20180407_185917.jpg 20180407_185613.jpg 20180414_133638.jpg Fernandina MC trip 023.JPG Fernandina MC trip 005.JPG Fernandina MC trip 011.JPG 20180414_134123.jpg Fernandina MC trip 021.JPG 20180414_151551.jpg

    Well, today was the first ride of the year - the screwy weather has me WAY behind schedule.

    The missus wanted to come with me, so we bundled her up and put my spare jacket on her because her jacket wouldn't fit with the layers she had to wear underneath.

    It was sunny, 2*C (35*F) and dry roads ... last year this time, it was 20*C (68*F). Ugh!

    Hope the best for your dad! Mine is having some heart issues (A-fib I think and 77) and waiting to see a specialist. It's about the family!
