I got a 70 mile ride in to my youngest son's house on 1 of the most beautiful August days in recent memory. 81° & low humidity. He BBQ'd some burgers and we but his new patio set together.
My Freewheeler just loves to run & it's purring like a kitty and I love this new M8 motor.
The minor improvements I have made have paid big dividend in performance.
Prior to leaving, I spent an hour dusting of the cobwebs, checking tire psi, oil and transmission fluid, all good, then a Lucas Speed Wax once over and it's beautiful once again.
It just doesn't get much better than that.

I took the long way to the grocery store today. The ride was good with light traffic. I was amazed at how many people I saw driving cars with masks on. I guess they are afraid their cars may have the virus

I got the HD Sundowner Tallboy seat & love it. You can try 1 at most dealers for a few hours. They are a decent price too.

Today I rode 195 miles. No rain today, but a little shower would have felt good.

Which engine guard did you get? Did you also have to replace the dampener bracket?Got Harley crash bars yesterday gives me more protection also soft lowers for cold weather riding.
A truly beautiful day here in STL. I went out about 10:30 this morning to 71° & low humidity.
I fired up my neglected Freewheeler & went on a casual 50 mile ride & my FW doesn't seem to care if I let it sit...it just runs great. I stayed out of 6th gear, kept the revs up & blew the cobwebs out.
I am probably jinxing myself, but it just runs great... I got 1 of the good ones & I am lucky.

Ugh, I feel your pain.
Damn, that hurts and sure sorry to hear about and see it. That's obviously more than chipped paint. Are you planning on getting it repaired or replaced?I almost avoided flying metal debris kicked up by the pickup in front of me.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a well-preserved body, but to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting...Holy Sh!t What a ride!
Thanks, hopefully I'll hear from them today.

Went for a lunch ride today. Then spent 3 hours cleaning all the FREAKIN love bugs off the bike. Why do they even exist? Just to torment riders I guess.
