That his pal BillyBob has a moonlighting gig?.... Actually, this is only 3 short blocks from my place & I gotta say that they sell the best damn meat around! ...& cheaper than all the big name grocery stores that are 20 miles away. All my buddies & neighbors who hunt, take their kills there to get dressed & wrapped. I'm about to pay them a visit for another 50 lbs. of burger & some steaks....my freezer is gettin' empty!

That looks like some Fun there Fred....nice report.

I was laughing the whole time I took that one.... just for your sake!

Sure was....mostly in PA levels 2 & 3. Got home & still had 86% of battery life left. Turned it up to level 5 for that last few blocks....Beast get's right w/ the program! The 750w motor really puts the power down.

Headed back down towards town....had a stop along Clark creek on the way... Decided to have a closer look @ the Grand Ronde river that runs through an RV park along the way... en route towards that.... River is pretty full from the spring run-off right now.... not to fret there Pete...just remember-- It's NOT your bike!...lol On the way home I rode up north to the end of a new subdivision where there was a field full of dozy cows...1 came over to say Hi...lol Overall, pretty happy with the improved ride quality...but noticed some shifting issues (jumping between 7th & 8th gears)...but the electronic shifter should sort that out.

Weather turned out to be quite nice this morning, so out to the garage I went w/ manual in hand. Tightened up some loose fasteners around the handlebar mounted computer & pumped the shock up just slightly as well as adjusted the damping....which equated to a big diff in the ride...all on the positive side. So I donned the Bell lid, glove & shades...then headed for the eastside back to Cemetary rd. for some nice views. Looking west....where I'll end up heading to on another occasion. 1 last view south towards Mt. Harris. Last week I put a coat of black bed-liner on the battery for protection until I hunt down a pair of fenders. I think I'll repaint that again with some Herculiner which is a rubber/urethane based bed-liner....also cover the front section of the mid-drive motor. It'll also help insulate the battery for those cold weather rides. A qwik tour through the cemetary as there was a few flowers dispensed on grave stones...probably because of Easter weekend. Looking NW towards where I live....

Sounds like something's not as tight as it should be....due to the typical vibes from a big single. My aircooled SuMo is quieter.

Billy No Mates is legendary....

Been married 3 times but have only 1 ex-wife.... Mar. 13th 1981.... Jan 20th 1988....Feb 12th 2022

After spending this month attending to domestic maintenance.... just rode UP to the top of my steep driveway, sitting down....in 7th gear- on PA level 3. Still gotta install the electronic shifter & tighten up a few fasteners...but just about got the brake pads enbed'd. Gonna pump the shock up a bit as well. Might just have to do a ride report tomorrow.... My sore, piss-poor excuse for feet are mucho appreciative of this Beast that's an absolute blast to ride!

Nice report @Saul.... always kool to see some machines that you only read about anymore.

Interesting looking Trumpet....if it were mine, that exhaust would be the 1st thing to go. Bet it would sound pretty sweet w/ an Akrapovic pipe.

Well, @ least there's NO visible litter in the background.... Fred's pics just make you cringe @ the thought of having your bike that close to H2O & dirt.

Another fine german automobile....

That's the kind of stuff that Pete's worst nightmares are made of....

Specialty from Mrs. Hook's office (my wife)....Chicken Taco Soup. I cannot get enough of it--

Great Score @Saul.......properly Rider-educated, she'll be 1 of those very kool bike mad girls.

The missus made my favorite dish last night.... gonna enjoy a Breakfast of Champions this morning....

The cam towers/valve cover look a lot like a Triumph...

Damn Straight ....early Civics are also great inspiration....learned how to drive in one...

Hip-Waders required....as it gets deep sometimes.

Interesting report there @XTreme.... bet it felt great to be back in the saddle.

Floor/Foot boards are about as gay as it gets....those things belong in a cage! REAL motorcycles always have foot PEGS
