Got out to state inspection on Sat. - finally had time - was overdue by a few months.
Hmmm.. yeah, I should probably do that. Last time mine was inspected was in april. (of 2008)
Shhhh... don't tell!!
I'm real particular about keeping everything in good order, though. It's never failed before....just need to get it done. I'll shoot for it this year....

i took a 270km trip yesterday.
Very nice! I was planning on it, but the weather isn't cooperating. Cloudy and 37F atm.

Dylan,
that's outrageous. How could you own up to such a thing?

Hells yeah... Rotella T FTW!!

I bought some stuff for her today... does that count? Guess I didn't really physically do anything yet, though.
I petted her, though...

Well, you see... the inspection sticker is real small. I've even been pulled over and they didn't even notice.
But she'll be all legit as soon as the weather warms up... oh yes she will.

I ordered the (2) givi36 for saddle bags. I want to order the givi e55 for the truck, But I am going to wait and see if I can find one to put on my bike so I can see the size of it on there. My 'Cane is still at the shop, I am hoping I can get it this week. With the snow and sub freezing temps it is kinda hard to get it home. I want to get it tomorrow but it is going to snow tonight . I did get some helmet speakers and put them in so I can listen to my Ipod on the way down to Tenn.

No pink stuff... I don't wanna attract your kinda crowd...

I bought a new motobatt battery, some new paddock stands, headlight rings, and a rear tire.
I'm still stuck on which sprockets to go with, tho...
Any ideas, sprocketman?
I have vortex at the moment, but lookin' around at others....

edit: sounds like you're gettin' stuff done, Indy! I've been looking at tank bags/rear bags myself. Gonna need something. I don't think my normal backpack routine is gonna work for longer trips...
