Thanks Trevor. Yeah, this motorcycle something else. It needs a good bath also I have to remove some of the RAM mounts. The guy must have been a electronic freak. The Givi trunk is nice but it is huge! The rear crash guards have to come off. They stick way out with the side bags removed. I'll have time to work on it, it's still February. Still have month or so of crap weather.

Looks like I'll be playing catch-up this June on our way out to Indiana together. Hahaha. My XR-12 is quick for a Harley but my little 600 would spank it.

Did Mrs. Lurch do the custom work?
Sorry won't be able to make it over this weekend... Shan is pretty bummed, I got dropped a mutha of a work load and Saturday is looking like 16+ hour day. Winter carnival here at the college is brutal. Almost as bad as Commencement and Reunion but not quite...Jedz Moto

Quick little jaunt after a long day and a bit of a test after recent work on the bike. Nothing fell off, leaked (that wasn't leaking before anyway...) or broke. Did some heavy front braking to start to match new pads to old rotors... I need to bleed the brakes a bit more. The lovely warmth of the day was fading and clouds had rolled in by the time I got out.
Just noticed... Jersey Freeze's choice of color is good....

Yesterday was an stellar ride. Took a half day (in Retail that means 8 hour day
) headed out by 2PM and covered a good amount of ground before the cold Canadian air briskly moved in.
Got a good amount of miles racked for February in Vermont.
Took the HD out to get a little more acclimated on it and dial in for the FL trip.
The warm dry air was briskly changed to damp and cool weather, threw on the heated gloves and soldiered out my ride.
Got back into Middlebury and cleaned the XR-12 up and brought her home to do the Scotty Mod The bike is just a touch to revvy for Sport touring applications... This is the (Buel) XB12R setup and it will drop the revs down 500RPM at cruising speeds, also give the bike some more leg for it hits rev-limiter quick at 125ish MPH.
More I ride it the more I love it... It Handles wicked. Hold a line even in the strongest of cross winds. Power wise it isn't the best but the torque is adequate and the bike is VERY smooth at cruise.

Most of this seat work was my handiwork. Same mod as what we did with the old Bandit. Built up the nose of the seat to help stop the sliding forward into the tank when riding and preventing discomfort on the jewels by leveling it off and eliminating that forward pitch. Much better than the ZR7 and the Bandit stock seats. They were very similar.Originally posted by Jedz123 View PostComment

Got out for 2 1/2 hours today.
From daughters place (near I-5 & CA-76, upper left of map) it takes about 20 minutes to get thru suburbia, and to the other side of "the 15" on the CA76 and then in a few minutes is like this
Yah, that is still CA-76, yah, that is a state highway.
At 3:30pm traffic was already kinda heavy, even that far from suburbia,
so I took off on the first road that looked interesting on this map.
Rice Canyon, THen also Rainbow Canyon, Pala Tecmeula and others.
Went on a couple roads that were so narrow and twisty and no shoulder that was no place to pull over for picture at most of the great scenes. Had to limit pictures to where was a plce to pull over.
Then see this sign
and, yah, the road got narrower, and trees right on edge of pavement.
Went up and down this road a couple times.
And over to another road.
Then got lost. THen made it back to CA-76, and back into town.
Traffic heavyer on the 3 and 4 lane part of the road in suburbia, the "filtering" at the lights was great, some lights I went up 15 or 20 cars.Last edited by Redman; 02-23-2018, 03:02 AM.
