Put a new T32GT on the rear. That's the third T32GT for the rear now. I had to retire this last one with 5100 miles on it to make EOM, with maybe 1000 miles left on it. I got 6000 miles out of my first T32GT.

Installed new front brake pads. I originally only checked the right side and the pads still looked like they had a lot of life left. The left side was a different story. Two of the pads were down to about nothing. I'm glad I checked them and installed the new pads.

Put the new Angel GT A-spec on the front. I really love that Marc Parnes balancer. Washed it and the GS. Really bummed I had to cancel on EOM.

You washed your Marc Parnes balancer? A thin layer of grease on the shaft to prevent rust is all it needs.

I know what yer thinkin...those wheelies are TWICE as scary as they were before. But not to worry, you'll soon adjust and all will be well again. Congratulations on the riding.

Yeah, but I couldn't resist an honest ribbing. He set himself up.

IF you find yourself rolling into the EOM hotel with Wheaton on the back seat, a slow, deliberate (so everyone can see and know who it is) parade lap is required.

Picked up the factory bags from the dealer. Used rok straps to keep the handles in the locked position, since my locks live in my city cases. Man they look bulbous…. The bags, not the locks…
Got the backrest pad in for my topcase. Unfortunately, when they improved the cases with footman loops, they didn’t modify the backrest part to match. So I had to cut an already overpriced part to fit. Luckily, it went okay.
I didn’t want to take a chance on Wheaton getting sleepy at eom and needing to ride on the back of my bike- and having him having to lean back on bare metal hinges.
Why, I’d never hear the end of it.
