Had three rainstorms between Asheville and Robbinsville. About the time I dried out here would come another one.

If anyone has a spare rear brake rotor I could use it. Mine warped a little on the way here.

New rear tire on, be there late tomorrow afternoon.

Computer and cables

I want that tire changer, where did it come from?

I'm currently in "wear the rear tire out so I can put the new one on" mode lol.

I know it's too late now but I've had good luck with uShip for transporting things.

Riding it home from work yesterday I was coming up a straight stretch and a fellow was checking his mailbox ahead. He was staring at it sort of puzzled like and watched it all the way past him. I don't think he quite grasped a scooter going by him at 60 mph and making a BRRRR noise. I've got a Malossi muffler that came with it that's supposed to be a bit louder, got to check it out.

Oh lord, I had one of those.

This one is a 500cc. It gets up and goes!

Yep, this happened. https://photos.app.goo.gl/uiGrG5QnLyfB3WtE9

Hey, you found bag racks for it. Where'd they come from?

"Your bike only has one neutral?"

I purchased on of the Grimeca's from Ebay and it's worked out fine. Brembo actually sold the rights to this model to Grimeca so it is pretty much the same other than color.

I had a Motion Pro using mercury that worked well but then it got to where you couldn't get mercury any longer. Purchased the blue fluid version and still could not get a good balance even with calibrating it, etc. Bought one of these and never looked back: http://www.carbtune.com/carbdtls.html

I'm running this in the Coppa: https://www.royalpurple.com/product/hps-high-performance-street-motor-oil/ Silicon = 7 ppm (anti-foaming agent in new oil, but in used oil, certain gasket materials and dirt can also add to this number), Boron = <5 ppm (detergent/dispersant), Magnesium = 46 ppm (detergent/dispersant), Calcium = 3626 ppm (detergent/dispersant), Barium = <1 ppm (detergent/dispersant), Zinc = 1774 ppm (anti-wear), Phos = 1347 ppm (anti-wear), Moly = 189 ppm (anti-wear), Potassium = 11 ppm (anti-freeze inhibitor), Sodium = 2 ppm (anti-freeze inhibitor), TBN = 10.2 (Total Base Number is an acid neutralizer to prevent corrosion.)

Well, after finding a second Bronze Norge that the owner sold out from under me three days before I was scheduled to pick it up, I've became a bit gun shy of that color (bad mojo). So, this one is purchased and on the way home next week. 2013 model.

Anyone know what the closest paint match to the original is on the valve covers? Mine is starting to flake a little.
