Not Safe For Work
I just landed back in Sacramento yesterday after a great Red Lodge adventure on my still new-to-me 2014. I was so excited to have such a pretty red FJR. So many rides and gatherings I've been on were dominated by blue ones, Galaxy Blue, Cobalt Blue, Bass Boat Blue. But if there was one color dominating at Red Lodge, it was . . . Red! Maybe if they'd had it in the Blue Ridge Mountains . . .
But anyway, I think I set a personal best for daily mileage heading for home, at least the second day. It was freakishly hot, no matter which route I chose, so I just wanted to get home, Crossing Nevada at around 100 was ugly enough, but coming down from the Sierras into the Sacramento Valley (and this was close to 7 p.m. while looking at the setting sun), the needle was on 104!
But the butt thing. The seat is stock, and my butt still hurts, sitting here typing. On the way out to the meet, I rode with JREW, aka John, who agreed to switch bikes for a while so I could test his Seth Laam seat. I did NOT want to switch back. I thought I was sitting on a happy cloud. Remarkable difference. Now I need one. (edit: see post 39 on p.2. Couldn't wait. )
So thanks to another FJR gathering, I've got whole new ways to spend money. And I can't forget the Admore light bar RaYzerman 19 showed me (were there REALLY 18 other "RaYzermans" before him?), and have you seen those Canyon Cages like fljab has? And, and . . .
