Motorcycle cover for 2022 Zuma Templar X 250, ignore the rating it is marketing. This is the lower ply version with 2 year warranty as I will only need to use it for a year at most. The upsell is to their marketing made up 5 star version with 10 year warranty and nearly 3 times as many plys.
https://sealskincovers.com/products/...-Templar-X-250 Use the discount code VIN10 for 10% off. So $36 all up with free shipping.

Link didn't work at all for me. Hit the website manually and there were so many "chat" and "sales person " popups I gave up and left.

New finishing nail gun. My 35+ year old HF gun finally gave out after all these years. I think i paid $18 for it back then. It's probably driven hundreds of thousands of nails over all those years. Got a new one for $22 and some change on clearance from HF.

Lunch for myself after class at the Genoa, IL McDonald's. Then I hauled a medium Coke home 30 miles in the Ural trunk to Mrs.C. Didn't spill a drop.

Got this last week for my old buddy Willy J. He was a hit at the store that evening.

As I'm always looking for ways to make coffee when camping on a bicycle or motorcycle, I bought this Vietnamese pour through coffee thingy and a bag of Vietnamese coffee a couple weeks ago.
I broke it out today to give it a whirl. First impressions...why is my spoon standing up?... this is disgusting, even with milk and sugar...I may never sleep again. This ain't gonna replace the 5 cup percolator on the old Optimus 8R campstove any time soon. The caffeine jolt may be why I went out to the garage and dismantled the old mircowave oven that went BZZZZZTTT a few months ago. I found out why it went BZZZZTTT. I haven't had a caffeine headache like this since I chugged two espressos with breakfast the last time I was in France.

I have every intention of riding my Hawk to scenic places and brewing myself some coffee to relax and take it all in.

I keep a small French press in our camper and I use it. Mrs.C is a tea drinker, so as the kettle is already steaming...
I always go back to that little beat up 5 cup percolator, though, when I'm going solo.

Folgers crystals. It may suck but for a couple days out, it's easy and it works. One can always find a decent cup of coffee on the road between the instant.
I know....this takes all the adventure out of camping.

Motorcycle cover arrived, fits the Templar X 250 nice even the the handlebar turned full lock.
EDIT: Just a quick addendum, I have been using this this week at work, bike is outside in the elements. Very windy today and the cover was still on and there when I got off my shift. I used the steel cable and included luggage lock. I just rushed it on, didn't pull it over the mirrors properly yet. You get a simple luggage lock and cable to secure the cover against the wind when the bike is outside. Nothing fancy here. All in all good buy for something I need for a year.
