Rode my SV to the HB doughnut shop. Ran into a couple of locals, one guy rides a Triumph. On the way home I stopped at the HB Honda dealer to see if I could get a picture on the Fury.

Would have ridden it if he would have asked me but I knew that wasn't going to happen. :p
 
After lunch I rode my SV to Fullerton HD to demo ride the XR1200, since they actually have 3 of them right now, all the other times I stopped there they didn't have any.

Brian is the demo rider, nice guy - you can pretty much go there and ride any bike they have.

I can't believe how much this bike vibrates - like a mofo. You feel it in the handlebars, the seat and even in the footpegs, lol. It kinda smoothes out as you get up to speed. Felt really good sitting on it, shifting was smooth and had power. But the vibration?!
 
changed the pre-load on the front springs again today. i set it last night to the 2 setting. it was on the 3 setting since i've owned it. i was pretty happy with it. i changed it again today at work to 1.5 and i don't know yet. feels kind of rough through the corners.
 
Took off my winter screen,and put on my fly screen. Trying to trick the weather,it's still in the 70's and should be 95° now. Global warming my a$$.:)
 
removed the front wheel to get a tire changed.
tried bleeding the rear brake but just couldnt get any pressure.
Hopefully I'll figure it out tonight.
 
Spent all morning looking for crush washers so I can swap my stainless lines, only to come up empty handed:mad:
 
messed with the front pre-load yet again. i think i may have dialed it in for what i like. i need to take it for a nice ride in the twisties though.
 
Put on my new Conti Road Attacks, awesome, awesome tires!
