Did a 70 mile ride today down some new roads....
Congrats on the 50K milestone. If they're all yours put in for a 50K award.

I’ve seen you ride. You sure don’t want to lower your pegs on the ST!Was that before or after we fixed your rear preload..?? They may have not scraped if that was beforehand......oh wait..... I've seen you ride.....never mind..
And..... don't you have a job...????.
And unlike you I am only semi retired. I’m on my 7 days off. I did ride the BMW another 150 miles today. I had to make sure the brake light on my top box worked properly.
Do the same things apply to the 1100? Can they be lowered? Will they scrape if you ride spiritedly?

I’m not familiar with them on the 1100. Hopefully somebody can answer that question for you.
No, sadly, only the last 4000 or so. I bought the bike last July and have been slowly sorting her out so I can tour the continent next year when I retire.
Road around the county today as the sun was out and the temperature was 77 for the high. Did just over 220 miles. And I saw the Delta heavy launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base.

I made my first camping trip on the ST yesterday and today as I try to tweak my setup and packing on the bike in preparations to travel to the Georgia Spring Rally in April. I first went 90 miles up to check out a free camping area near Century, FL that I found on freecampsites.net before returning 35 miles back to another free camping area, Wilderness Landing Park. I won't be going to the Century one! It basically is just a boat launch on the Ecambia River. The one I then came back to is MUCH nicer on the Blackwater River! I made a post about it two weeks ago after my scouting trip to this campground. I also tested the use of Spotwalla with the SWconnect iOS App. Made the 50 mile trip back home this morning before this ugly cold front pushed in and gave the ST a good washing after traveling a couple of red clay/dirt roads!

Way to go! Looks like you have it figured out. Thanks for reminding me of that website. It should come in handy.
Wuss!
Thanks for the post! I was stationed at Whiting Field 78-81 (USN). Had fun on the Blackwater River.

How’s that Cortech tank bag working out? Thinking about getting one.

Looking forward to more of your camping/riding videos.

No snow here, Key West today after 1500 miles.
This was the view one morning last week. Yep, that's -30*F. Then it gradually "warmed up" some and yeasterday snowed another 8", so that was good even though spent a lot of time on the atv plowing snow around my place and the neighbors. The next few nights are supposed to get colder than the last cold spell so I got some "riding" in this afternoon before it's just silly to do much outside (again).
Got to ride whatever the season allows.

Put in a short 56 miles today. Would have rode more but had to do that dirty four letter word - WORK. Rode down GA Hwy 212 to Monticello (my “go to” stress relief ride after work).
Look at the temp on my dash. So the ST handled beautifully. Think I finally have it right. Fork brace, serviced rear shock preload adjuster, 42/42 psi! Also loving the LED highlights! Man, the ST1300 is awesome!
Hot wings tonight
