    Break In Ride

    OK I will start one as we Rocky Mt. peoples seem to be lagging behind. I am still scheduled for a Jun Delivery on my FJR. I assume it will be here sometime the middle of July but who knows. When I get it I am going to put about 50 miles on it. Change the oil and add the farkles. I will then be...
