Just thought this would be a cool new topic. If there is already one in existence please let me know so I can delete this one, or a mod can do it. As for me I finished my under tail project and rode the crap out of it.

Fresh seafood, great night of watching gopro videos,
while tossing back some cold ones! Just to turn around
the next day and head home!

Just about 375 miles of back roads to get there, and
any road we could find that didn't have thunderstorms
on the away back!
Anyone watch Ride With Norman Reedus? It was a lot
like that! :vroom: :icon_biggrin: Good times!!!

Not the SV, but changed the upper radiator hose on the Navajo in the work parking lot at lunch...
Installed a (new) USB charging port. Last one flaked out after a rainy day.

Last night, but I regreased the rear brake pedal pivot. Annoyingly, I seem to remember doing that this spring and it was almost dry. If it happens again, i'm gonna use the Honda Moly-70 Paste I have for the FJR's shaft splines. That ought to solve it.
Oil change and chain lubed. 47962 miles on the clock. Will be just over 48000 on the way home tonight.
Installed a usb charging port. Maybe a spot most would not pick but this was an easy spot to connect power that was not in the way of something.
Put a linear Ohlins steering damper on the SV today. Gonna test it out at the track this weekend.
Took her for a nice, long ride.
I think she was getting jealous from me working on the Magna.

Dropped out two engines and put the donor engine into my bike. Just need to sort out the sticky clutch plates now.
Was yesterday, not today...
Took the bike out for the first time in two years. Was supposed to go get a 2016 safety inspection but ended up stranded. Battery died. The battery was on a tender the whole time, too. The bike was sputtering like a plug was bad and I also noted the horn stopped working (that's a fail for the safety inspection). My wife came with the jumper cables. I let the bike sit for maybe 5 min with the two vehicles connected and then cranked the bike. It no longer sputtered, not even after the cables were removed. The horn also started working. It was a totally different bike after the jump, which is odd.
I got a new battery today, a TX14 (was using a BS-12 before that). The bike acted fine.
Oh, and the rear brake pedal bottoms out without any braking whatsoever. I'll bleed them today.
