New Paint Job and upgrades 4-22-13

Well Finally almost finished with the bike. Here's the new awesome Paint job. Called Lava Orange. Originally found on the F800.

4-21-13 Riding the back roads of Virginia

So on Saturday I got bored and really wanted to go for a ride. But I had to get my services done. So I stayed up late and went over the bike. Changed the oil, Adjusted Valves, checked things over. Was going to change the FD fluid but when I went to grab the fluid I was out. So the FD will have to wait. Come Sunday morning I woke up bright and early and hit the road. Oh did I mention I was to eager to try out my new GPS. Just throwing a route together last minute just taking as many back roads as I could I'm off. Ended up near Lexington VA. Where I found a place called "The Natural Bridge". Which is a naturally made bridge. Your see in the picture below. Kinda cool actually. While I was there I also took a tour of the caverns that go 34 stories deep. I'm sure it goes deeper but we weren't allowed. I was going to do a ZOO safari but motorcycles aren't allowed. From what they say. The water hippo's don't like them. As I'm riding around. I came across Foamhenge. Kinda cool but different. I guess if we can't travel overseas then we'll make our own cheap version in the states ha ha. Well here are some photo's I'm tired of typing.

I went Shopping....Christmas in April 2013

So as many know who may either know me or follow me on Facebook or on here. I was in a very minor accident about a month ago. So with all that spare time and boring from not being able to ride I went shopping. And you thought those words were dangerous when your girlfriend or wife says those words. After looking through forums and seeing what is actually useful and what I could justify. I clicked the "check out" button's and awaited the UPS man. Here's what I've upgraded.
