What did you do with your bike today?

Me and my lady went for a nice ride on the Street Glide to a nice restaurant in Evansville, Ind. It has been a beautiful day.

Went to the big city on the big island. Installed two new tyres. Header pipe broke off on the 4 into 1 Macs. 70 miles of noise. Today swapped the Macs for a set of Kerker from my spare bike. Macs cost $400- spare bike cost $100- . Made some adjustments to the sidecar. Steering damper is too stiff. Yami runs good on these pipes. Will have to wait for a solo freeway run, for a true comparison.

Kerker is way better than mac anyways.

I stopped an oil leak a few days ago and took the picture last night now I am contemplating on making some adjustments.

I blasted it with the pressure washer. Was getting dirty. They spread gravel mixed with a brown slippery slime on the roads. Locals have been complaining for years. I also blasted the Dodge van.
Deep Purple will get dirty again. Going to the mainland on Wednesday.
I rode him today in the rain. But the rain will help clean the roads.

what's the color code for the purple, I like it.... well for purple anyways.

I got some good footage of the xs11 on the road today. The battery died just before a messy wreck but no biker casualties luckily. I'll get it on YouTube asap.

I lowered the front suspension, started sanding the tank then the mail carrier showed up with my seat.

Today I looked at the picture I took a week ago after I sanded the second rate layers of blue, primer, black, red, primer, and black paint off my gas tank which turned out nice since the sanding block/sponge was worn out by the time I got to the original Mach0 maroon.

Avon seems to have a strong reputation I wanted to try one but I got a Bridgestone instead because they have my size

We had big rain over the weekend (6" plus overnight), I have been working on my driveway hoping to be able to get a bike out.
It rutted pretty bad, my jeep was the only way in or out for the first day, now we can get my wife's car out.

I can get a bike in and out in the daylight, but would be risky after dark. Just need a few more hours.

More heavy rain expected tomorrow.

I've gotten caught in some rainstorms its not for beginners but if you're feeling confident its alot of fun. I bought some stabil for my gas.

Fixed a problem of my bike stallimg when I gave it gas or blipped the throttle. Turnes out the #1 carb was getting too mich gas.

That same carb is also leaking. I adjusted the float about 1mm in each direction, but the leaking still won't stop.

Did you clean the float needle surfaces?
