Wow, what a weird day. Sunny when I woke up, clouding over by the time I was thinking of leaving, and then full blown fog. I chose to trailer the bike to town for the ride, so to speak. I rode with Rick for the pre-ride, it was an hour long ride and we had great weather for that, in Santa Fe.

Hung around at the dealership while they did my 7500 mile service, at 7900 miles and then they put it on the dyno to check an issue I was having at high speeds. At speeds of over 100 m.p.h. the engine would vibrate enough to scare the crap out of me. They could find no problems and they had it up to 120 m.p.h. and it didn’t happen. I watched and it was smooth as silk.

I grabbed a nap at the dealership on the couch. Everyone thought it was funny. I sat down and was sleeping in under a minute. It’s a nice thing that I can do, almost anywhere. The girls wished I brought Erin with me, but given the agenda of the day, I felt that was not in her best interest.

Riding home with the bike, freshly cleaned, I realized that I have yet to pick up my bike and make it all the way home without having my bike soiled in some way. Today it was ice.
