Just got my 2020 home. Now to put all the parts I took off the 16 on the 20. Took me two days to get everything off, hopefully it only takes 1/2 that time to put everything back on.

Went for a nice ride on Saturday to a Farmer's Market in the Cuyahoga National Park. On the way home, gearing down for a stop sign on a downhill, I felt the "SNAP" as the clutch cable let loose! Worked it down the hill to the stop sign as I reached for the GPS and Harley App to find the nearest dealer. WOW, only nine miles away! Nursed it in to the dealer, then was SHOCKED when the parts guy came up with a clutch cable for a '13 TG on the shelf. Service was booked solid for the rest of the day, so Big Red is in the service bay awaiting a Tuesday morning clutch cable fit. With the exception of the clutch cable failure at 43K miles, all else turned out better than expected.

Kira and I rode to Fruita and met up with Kevin and Mary (Kevin is the K in DK). They were on their way down towards Montrose to ride a couple days on the Million Dollar Highway. We had a nice talk and Kira got to show off how cute she is. Mary took some pics, not sure they will get posted.
When it was time for them to leave, I showed them the easiest way to get to Highway 50 from Fruita. It was nice seeing them again.
The company that owns the great little town we live and work in recently put a mining display on main street. There is a 58 yard shovel bucket and a truck bed from a 240 ton Cat haul truck. It take the bucket loads to fill the bed. Approximately 260 tons. I believe they are going to add a haul truck tire display soon.
I took Lucy down for some beauty shots so here they are:

Took the rear wheels off yesterday and took them along with 2 new Goodyear Comfortreds to a local tire shop this morning to have them mounted and balanced.
Put them back on this evening then set the pressures to 22 PSI and while I was at it set the rear shocks to 26 PSI and the Avon front tire to 41 PSI.
May have to talk the wife into an Ice cream run to check it all out later.
