Flushed clutch fluid on the ‘18.

Will do the brakes over the weekend. I hate that poisonous brake fluid.

Didn't do anything but it is finally battery time for the 2016. When the maintainer is taken off, ignition on, voltage is down to 11.9. Starts fine but the battery is failing. That is as if one cell is shorted. If so then the others are being over charged.

Cleaned up Renee, and posted her for sale here. Funny how when you get the bike out and clean it up for pictures, you have second thoughts. Damn, it's a really nice bike. Alas, she's up for sale. Been seduced by other Frauleins.

Alas, she's never seen a Wheaton pass. She will do well with her new owner after you have divested yourself of the best damn sportstourer on the planet. GLWS, Sir Toter.

Finished flushing brakes and clutch on both FJRs.

Nice to have that job done.

Yeah. The soft hue of pine pollen matches nicely with the slight green tint of the 2013. Nature can be so subtlety beautiful in her own way. :roll:

I went for a 50 mile ride in the high winds. I had to dodge a number of branches laying in the road. Still fun though.

Got 40-50 miles in after dinner. Tried out my new jacket and airbag vest. Well, not tried it out, I mean, tried it out, but didn’t try it out.

Felt great on the bike. Probably the most comfortable I’ve been on my bike. Played a little. It was fun.

We have snow in the mid week forecast, so much for sunny Kalifornia.

Nice 150 mile-ish ride yesterday, with a purpose... I needed to delivery some groceries, everything just fit into the side bags / top box plus the case of water on the back seat.

I know D-Eagle was out as well, but I got side tracked with a "while you're here, could you look at..." project at my folks place and wasn't able to catch up with him...
