I had the Feej serviced today at MacLean Sports: new tires, oil and filter (plus a "filter to go" in my sidecase), top case lock installed, fluid levels checked and changed as required, lights and switches checked, frame sliders installed, throttle cable adjusted, and everything generally battened down for The Trip. Oh, and a new ignition switch was installed under the ignition switch recall. Unfortunately, the triple-tree mounting kit hasn't arrived yet from Motorcycle Larry so I can't install and test run the Zumo. It works on the patio but .... I created a route on my computer for Day One which showed mileage of 921 km. When I transferred the route to the gps unit, it lost 210 km in the transfer. Oops! must be one of those known bugs.
Big thanks to Andy who does my service work. He's my Main Man at MacLeans! But I also have to thank Bob & Kevin in the Service Department for humouring me ;-) And, of course, Jamie, who sold me the Feej in the first place and Brent, the "paper guy"!
ps - a note about that planned 900 km first day ....
I did a little "lunch ride" with Mark yesterday to Comeau's in Pennfield. It was 311 km round trip; the ride home via Lawrence Station was just over 1.5 hours in the saddle. I was very happy and relieved to dismount from my beautiful bike when we finally got home! I really need to get some bike butt built up. Try saying THAT 3 times quickly!
Join Mark Colwell and me as we make quick tracks to North Carolina to ride some of the best made-for-riding roads anywhere, including the famous Tail of the Dragon at Deal's Gap, North Carolina. October 3, 2009 - October 16, 2009. Let the games begin ....
