This begs the question of whether a person would be leaving the new steed bone stock or not. Knowing this crowd, probably not. So one must factor in the farkle factor to any new bike purchase. As you point out, $1,500 for the pipe and fender treatement.

The little extra umph from a full exhaust is always nice, but on a Busa, you really can feel the weight loss flicking the bike left to right, as all 3 Gen's mufflers are heavy enough to notice when they're gone.
That alone improves the ride.

Sun came out. I told the boss that I was "having eye trouble" as I "couldn't see coming into work today..."

Checked out Glenwood, WA. Amazing view of Mt. Adams.

The Rever app is kind of fun.

I think for most of us (except maybe Sir Pashnit), the struggle is finding new to us routes in our own back yard. This was a lucky find.

I’m actually about to order that one, but in black
-the clutch slave support, just realized I’m a few pages late

I think that I could argue that fall is the best time of year in the PNW. Likely one of the few remaining dry days before the winter rains settle in. A spectacular day along the Columbia.

For those of us that think of cults in the abstract.

During this period of political transition, I was reminded of the quote: "The only thing new in the world is the history you don't know." Not having grown up in the state I now call home, I was delighted to find this 1946 printing of "A history of the state of Washington." Can't wait to dig in.

My boss called today:

"Carl, you have four more days of PTO to use by year end."

Me:

"Whoopie!"



Oh wait, I should have used those when rain was not forecast for the next three months...

Tha last week of November shows cloudy but no rain from the 24th-29th with temps in the very low 50s. I bought my 79 CBX from a guy in Renton. I flew up and rented a truck to haul it back because the forecast (accurately) predicted rain. Storm came up and it rained all the way home. It was snowing over the pass into California so I veered west and drove the rest of the way home on 101.

Maybe I can find some low altitude routes to enjoy. The last time I rode in snow was on an air-cooled YZ125...

I’m a genius…

The tiny town, literally in the middle of nowhere, of Christmas Valley (population 1,300), is on my to do list. They have a post office. We should have the Christmas cards done in early December.

I went to the moto dealer because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
