I get it. My DRZ and a few others are up for sale. Especially if it's uncomfortable and causes a hip issue. I love them all but sometimes a guy has to cut ties with some of his favorite girls.

I bought that second tank of gas today. So, 150 miles @3 gals of regular :wtf: 50mpg.:tup: The old broad has always been good on gas. That distance would be 6 gals of premium with Arpok.

It looks like I'll be riding the Maggot for the foreseeable future, and I no longer commute to work anymore, so I pulled the scooter trunk off the rear rack. Just doing that makes it a lot easier to swing my leg over.
I had a minor 'oh, shit' moment when I went to remove it as I had wired a brake light to the trunk back in 2011. I had a sigh of relief when I lifted the seat and I actually wired it in with plugs. I was kind of patting myself on the back when I saw that I did a pretty pro job of wiring up that bike. Relays are all labeled, routing is neat, zip ties trimmed. It almost looked like I knew what I was doing.:D |
I took the old fart out for a run today. It started right up after sitting since Octember. Weird that a bike that’s so hard to throw a leg over can feel so cramped once my butt is parked on the seat.

I took it out for another 50 last night. The cross winds were rough. I love the bike but I'm still thinking of finding it a new home and maybe going with something a bit smaller and lighter.
I avoid interstates like the plague, so something like an older RE Bullet 500 may fill the bill. |

She's still a goer.

I was pushing the old fart around in the garage, trying to get it in the right spot so I could close the overhead door without it tripping the sensor. Damn near dropped it, again, when the sidestand folded up. I felt joints popping while holding it up and getting the sidestand back down.
Another reason for probably finding it a new home. |
