I think my R65 is possessed
« on: July 18, 2010, 06:22:22 PM »
Left the house this morning intending to get in a couple of hours of riding not caring where I was going just enjoying the morning. I think my R65 is possessed. It was running like a dream and before I knew it I was about 3/4 of the way to Tampa (one way is about 230 miles). I figured what the hell, its almost lunch time anyway. Rode into Ybor City and stopped at a little Cuban cafe for a lunch of black beans and rice, topped off with a cold beer and a hand rolled cigar on the patio. Spent most of the day in the saddle and just got home with an additional 500 miles on the clock. I swear that bike would not turn around and head home until it was good and ready!
Keep your bike in good repair: motorcycle boots are not comfortable for walking.

Sounds just like when mine had the gearbox overhauled for the famous $1 spring pawl.

After putting her back together we head out for a little sortie of 500+miles in one day. Just stop for drink, smoke and some gas.

I even forgot to eat lunch !!!!!!!!! :)
