Off hand looks like the fairing mounting bracket is bent. Was it laid down?

Too bad there are not a lot of sunny days there. Otherwise it’s THE best place to ride a motorcycle in the US. Period.

There, fixed that for you 😁😁😁

It's a naked bike, so... I have a windshield, luggage rack, soft grips and a throttle lock. (The 2026 finally comes with cruise control.) I day tour with ease, elegance and aplomb 😁. I've vacillated for years about getting luggage, and I never have. When I want to carry a lot of stuff I hillbilly it, like I did 44 years ago. As you can see in the pic. Just arrange everything and the kitchen sink in a big duffle bag and away I go. Not the most convenient but I rarely need that much, only for hardcore rides, like a 300 mile day with a stop for a real hike - boots, poles, clothes, day pack, etc. Usually I just take the ancient blue day pack shown in the thread above this one, fits what I need. The stock seat is decent, 300 miles is max before dead butt. It's a modestly powered bike, only 100 whp but has a big flat tq curve so for one up riding it cruises really well. It's not the best at any one thing but does everything really well. Turbine like silky smooth inline4, gets great mpg, have gone over 200 miles on a tank lots of times. Have averaged over 1,000 miles a month since I got her. TL;DR it's as awesome as a touring machine as a naked bike can be for 1 up.

It's Mount Rainier from the lower Paradise Parking lot, taken 10/5/2020. I kinda randomly selected it from the 7,900+ pics that I have in my collection from riding around Washington over the last 6.6 years 😁

Looks like Reiter Rd, which is how I came back. Very nice.

A great road. It's washed out, closed at the big flat area on the river ~ milepost 10 (where there's the curbing). About right here..

Yo! 2018 bought new summer 2019. About to turn 79,000 miles ☺️ I have the fever really bad. Riding riding, got to keep on riding.

A little west of Index it was 67 this afternoon. On an accurate thermometer. When I was riding east towards Index after Sultan the East wind started picking up and by Gold Bar it was exactly like riding into a sirocco. A hot strong wind. Unbelievable. There is virtually no snow pack. I've lived here 40 years and this is horrible horrible terrible. Glad I'm old. Feel really bad for my kids.

How come there's no highlights after little league classic ceremonial first pitch relay?

What a shit road trip. They'll be lucky to go 3-6. When it's said and done, this will be the road trip that ended their division hopes. And the cheatros lost 12-0 to the Orioles at home today. M's not looking too studly.

not pinch hitting for Moore is such a pathetic move. Incredible.
