What did you do with your ST1100/ST1300 today?

Do they have multiple locations in NC? I seem to recall stopping in an similar establishment just off of I-95 to pick up a few sticks on my way to Myrtle Beach a few years ago.

I used to frequent the Tinder Box in malls for pipe tobacco.
They had the brown sticks, too, behind the glass and in a special humidor room.
Long, long ago.

JR used to have numerous locations around North Carolina and elsewhere. I think all but a very few have closed. This one in Burlington was always the main one, so I imagine it'll last the longest.
I too used to go to the Tinder Box in the mall, back before malls (and tinder boxes) largely went the way of Block Buster. Now I buy 95% of my pipe tobacco and the occasional cigar online.

Well I went for a little evening ride after getting the kids to bed. Nothing long or far, just a jaunt around the countryside to feel the wind and enjoy some evening scenery. Well, on the way home, I was headed almost due west, which means the sun was right in my face. As a result, I didn't see an ENORMOUS pot hole until it was too late to do anything about it other than stand up on the pegs and hope for the best. She bottomed out pretty hard. How hard, you ask? Hard enough to knock both mirror cowlinga loose. It was quite jarring to say the least, but thankfully nothing worse happened!
I'd be inspecting your rims for damage before you declare victory 
Glad your ok.
Last week I almost rode into an open hole in the middle of the street!
Some idiot removed and probably stole a manhole cover.

I think ALL our antique cast bronze manhole covers have been illegally 'recycled' for just a few bucks each,I'd be inspecting your rims for damage before you declare victory

Just put the bike up on the center stand and carefully inspected the rims and suspension. Everything is good and tight and no worse for the mishap. Very thankful!
Adjusted my seat position and took advantage of perfect riding weather to test it. 500kms later, I can honestly say that these mods now make the ST a true long distance machine. By this, I mean that I can do some distance pain free. Did a loop into the Laurentide mountain range and enjoyed a day in Quebec which is celebrating it’s provincial holiday today.

Since I was already "working" on the STead today, I decided today was the day to add my FIAMM Highway Blasters and USB power point. I really love the tupperware when I'm on the road, but my god I hate it when it comes time to work on the bike. Oh well. Either way, everything went in nicely and works as it should!
I like your helper. What oil does he recommend?Since I was already "working" on the STead today, I decided today was the day to add my FIAMM Highway Blasters and USB power point.

I bought a new 3rd party printed readouts from a Polish company Venoxy.
P.S their needle stopping pin holes were a little too large so a drop of super glue was needed for securing them properly.
Added a photo of the readouts before installing and redneck needle “locating”

i rode down to Dearborn to get a pic of a mural then out along Hines drive to get some pic's of the flooding caused by the Rouge river
Went for a quick ride, stopped for a treat. Mint ice cream with chocolate swirl and mint chips. Chips were so frozen solid it was like eating gravel, even broke a tooth.
