i rode 650miles. then i got home and unloaded beast.

i think the dark knight should be making kits and selling them. i'd buy one. heh.

Got a set of Kuryakyn Gran Throwover Saddlebags and love them! I wanted something easy to pop on and pop off (and inexpensive) and these fit the bill. Seem very well made and have all kinds of storage space. Didn't even need to get saddlebag supports because they don't hang low enough to need them. Just draped over the passenger seat and secured with two straps to the passenger pegs.

I also picked up a throttle rocker and will try it out today. I'm thinking I'm really going to like this $10 gizmo.

Installed my new Mustang Touring 2-piece, then the g/f and I went for a nice long ride to start breaking it in! She says she was still uncomfortable after getting off the bike, but its a different feeling, nothing like the pain after getting off the stock pillion. I told her to re-evaluate her opinion on the purchase after a few more rides once we start breaking the new seat in. Myself however, MUCH more comfortable than the stock seat, I feel like Im actually sitting in a nice plush leather chair, rather than just sitting on a foamy cushion like I felt on the stock seat.

and trust me the seat just gets more & more comfortable as it breaks it.

I rode 150 miles and hit the twisties. Used about 90% of my rear tire tread and got to scrap the pegs a few times. Beautiful warm sunny day to be riding. Got stopped at GSP check point. Showed my license, registration & insurance and they let me right through. Make sure you don't leave home without that stuff!

RAddiction · 07-03-2009, 09:37 PM

Took a 120 mile ride (round trip) to the marina to work on the boat. Got caught in a slight shower but all in all it was a great day. How bad can it be riding a toy to the other toy?

cardude720 · 07-03-2009, 09:52 PM

not too shabby my friend.

RAddiction · 07-04-2009, 06:33 AM

Up early getting ready to head out to the boat. Not taking the bike this time

Everybody have a safe 4th!!

1badbaker · 07-04-2009, 10:06 AM

Got the bike out of the shop yesterday, riding her to work today!

GeorgiaRoller · 07-04-2009, 09:34 PM

Another 360 miles today to meet up with friends. Hotter than Hades this afternoon. Bike ran great in the heat and the fan never came on once.

Shane72 · 07-04-2009, 10:24 PM

Rode up to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Great weather and great ride!
