You must have been talking to my wife I probably have ridden in as much rain as dry days in my life. Any given day we have @ least a 20 percent chance of rain

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 went for a 203 mile ride. We rode through a short rainstorm which was cool. :umbrella:

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

Pretty nice ride! I love that area & have been through it 2X, but not on my FW. The last 3 years I have been traveling west of the Mississippi.

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.

Another popular alternative is one of the Air Hawk Pads.

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?

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.

I almost avoided flying metal debris kicked up by the pickup in front of me.

3 weeks old and 700 miles.

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 don't know yet. Right now I'm waiting to see how good Geico is with their claims service.

Damn Jim, that's a bummer for sure, hope the Insurance does you right.
