Spent the day on the river relaxing

We did not get off-road, the Road King does not do gravel and dirt well. We did make a day trip, the first with Dee on the bike. We put on our Langlitz jackets, our Shoei helmets (ATGATT) and headed out. We started on secondary roads, then a few miles on I 84, then secondary roads again. A short lunch stop to make a delivery (take those milage deductions). Then a few more miles to see a local production of Oliver. Former Sherriff, and current Lion member Steve offered to put our helmets and leather in a secure office. Afterwards, home. A short day, about 3 hours riding, and 150 miles. Dee did good, she did not bounce around and she leaned with me on the corners. I took it easy, first time for me with a passenger on the bike. I did run through the gears a couple of times, pushing her against her back rest. The bike is smooth, and stable. We both enjoyed the ride. She said she felt safe on the bike, and it was more comfortable than the BMW she was familiar with. I think we will do more day rides, maybe I can get her to drive.

I think I need to get helmet to helmet communications though.

Next week, she gets camp together, in the spare Ford Van. We have buck tags for 11 days in October, our daughter and at least one of the grandkids will be with us.
 
Well, the Fatboy and I (with wifey) were not that ambitious, got in about 40 miles with some friends. Did not need to wear jackets, about 82 degrees, no wind/rain. Great day!
 
FG....I have the Scala rider stuff and it works good for me, if you are just going helmet to helmet there are some cheaper systems out there, but I do my phone and music and GPS through it..... my girlfriend dreads the highway and doesn't enjoy the rest all that much, but she has gotten better....

I have been ripping my driveway out and doing of bunch of other stuff and haven't ridden in about a month......

 
On Sat I did a shut down at state facility and on Sun did a shut down at a car dealership. Grass hasn't been cut in 3 weeks, pool needs tending and honey do list is growing. Yeah, I'm living that dream.:banghd

I've got the same bike!

Been wanting an FJR since '09. The planets finally aligned in February of this year, and I made her mine. To say I love it would be an understatement. If polygamy was legal in Illinois....well....it's a great bike. It likes the corners more than my '02 V-Star did.
 
Found some spun bearings in my new paper weight.



Took a ride Sunday night to finish off the weekend.



(I get 50 miles to the gallon on this hog!)
