    100K miles is something special and it really takes the right bike to make it work, When I rolled the T120 over 100K miles last year it was a nice feeling in that I knew I found a bike I could basically ride all the time and not get sick of it. Congrats and welcome to the 6 figure mile club Scott!

    Love the bike Trev! I know your in break in so not chasing it but I wonder how you'd compare it to your old GSX-S1000F?

        Tuesday morning, 55degF, Rode to Muskegon , visit brother in hospital.
        ANd then down by beach there.
        Saw this new artwork in traffic circle near the beach.


        THen went downtown, saw street vendor hot dog wagon, bye the courthouse.
        Yum, chilie dog with onion and cheese for $3 each
        .

        THen rode thru the country side, just decide at each intersction which way to go, but generally keep going mostly east and some south. Saw lots of peach orchards and apple orchards. Didnt stop for pics.
        Till got to just outside Grand Rapids, then puched up destinaation on GPS.
        Picked up a lacross stick for grandson. THe stick for defenceman is 70" long. Strapped that across back seat, should have got pic of that, it stuck out 3 foot on each side (or so it seemed). . Seemed secured quite stable, but was concerend about the webbing in the head in the wind on the 40 mile ride home, so dropped it off at daughters house that was somewhat nearby.
        Low 70s for ride home.


        HAve had a couple other rides, just errands around town, or out for coffee.
        Did have some other free time, but was in garage working on GK clutch.

            100K? Impressive. Ha, ha I thought my Bandit was relatively high miles at 40K, Nice that I have alot more to go. Curious how many miles you get out of a fuel pump? I bought a new one and threw it in the back suitcase just in case along with a few tools, I figure that's one thing that could give up on me at an inopportune time.

                To be honest I don't know since, as far as I know, it's still the original pump in the tank.

                  Yesterday's ride into Gettysburg was just as fun through West Virginia and Maryland although Mountaineer Hwy had a lot of washboarding along the middle of the lane. I think I need to schedule time to run back through that area as soon as possible

                  Spent some time on National Road both the US40 scenic route AND Maryland's own highway numbering: Got soaked today while touring the battlefield but enjoyed the promotion ceremony. One more day to spend here and then on to see Rich in Mifflinburg then home

                        Took the Ugly to work today in rain and heavy fog. Scary in many ways. Thoroughly enjoyable. I wanted to get a picture but I couldn't decide on a safe place to stop. Best to keep moving. Next time.

                          Worked till 1AM last night playing security and leading my team to control the the "last chance dance" which is the last (school funded) party before commencement, today. Back on campus at 6AM running more food, finally sitting down for some grub myself and a much needed cup of Joe. The Yamaha was so useful in running food, equipment's and random supply in and out of tight spots. College Public Safety didn't mind I was running on sidewalks hoping curves and getting in and out of tight spaces by using sidewalks. I had my Bright yellow Catering jacket on the whole time. On more event then we do it all again for the 2020 class, which is going to be very tough... Just 2 more days than I'm off for 6. Much needed!
                          Midnight:

                          Just now, waiting to run for the next need.

                            cowboyup3371 blew into town for a short visit. We went for a nice 120 mile ride on some great twisty mountain roads, dodged may Mennonite horse-drawn buggies and much roadkill, ate some good BBQ at a small roadside joint in Lock Haven, then back home. And that quick he was gone again. Till next time Scott. It was nice to finally meet in person. Have a safe ride home.

                              Hey, Guys, good that you got together for a ride.
                              And you stopped at a waterfall, Scott liked that I suspect.

                                I fininshed the clutch replacemnt yesterday and went for ride last night.
                                Oh, now have a clutch that have to be carefull how let it out.
                                But
                                Shifting was not smooth, downshift harder and getting into netural almost impossible. ALso noticed that at idle, in gear, hold clutch in, was easy to roll bike forward but hard to roll bike backwards.

                                GOt up early this morning to go thru the clutch cable adjustment - step by step, line by line - again.
                                THEn I noticed one step said "play in OUTTER cable", huh, what, I dont recall that, huh, I would not call the outter portion a "cable", dont recall noticing that before.
                                Went through the proceedure again, doing that step differently.
                                Oh, yah, now shifting easy.

                                Ride this morning to Memorial Day parade (some pics in "Random Photos"),
                                and then went for ride afterwards.
