Pounding out some miles . Still 35 miles from home . Sitting @ 28x ,and made some video in high resolution on the go pro. I'll need to edit it together but should be nice . Off road and on road . BEER COOLER @ 31 degrees was nice to chill for a few minutes. Can am was easy fix.
Met CHris a Sargent @ arms retired Army on the super tenere. .

Our ride yesterday was tiring and hot. Waaaay too much traffic in the parks so every pic I wanted to try was filled with tourists. 71 was the high above 6,000’ but as we came down it got to be 97! Great ride though, switching between the bikes. Both ran perfectly. Met a LD rider from Delaware on his BMW. He said these were his 2nd set of tires and that he would get his 3rd set in Salt Lake City when he passes thru there on his way back in a couple weeks.

I have a picture somewhere of me in full leathers in front of those trees in parking area
Nice. What year was that? They’re on the King's Canyon side of the two parks, hiway 180 east from Fresno. 198, on the other side into the Sequoia park from the Visalia and Three Rivers area has dozens of 10 mph 1st gear hairpins that zig zag up the mountain side and are a real PITA. Bikes can’t hardly go that slow!
Wanted to see the big one, the General Sherman tree but it involves some walking and my old crash knee just won’t let me go too far anymore especially in boots and other gear. Lots to see anyway and I’m quite thankful to have these jewels of nature so close by.

I like it quite a lot. It's a bit snatchy in the off-idle fueling as many new bikes are but it's not too distracting when you're out and about. It's incredibly comfortable bars- and pegs-wise, but I could use an extra inch or two on the seat before it kicks up for the passenger portion... it's a tall(ish) guy thing probably.
And now that the awful factory license plate hangar is off the swingarm, it looks as good to me as my old original Kats did.
Could be some deals out there on them as they're not selling well at all. My dealer-owner friend says that there are over 90 unsold 2020s in Canada, he still has the only one he ordered collecting dust in his showroom. Yeah, I bought mine from a different shop.... he knows and doesn't care.
I'm sure the tiny 12L fuel tank puts most people off but for me it's not an issue. I don't go far on it anyway, longer trips would be on my 'Busa and we all know how far those go on a full tank! As an only bike it might be a problem but what kind of weirdo only owns one bike?? 
I guess I'm that 'weirdo' and love it....I am so over owning several bikes at a time and having to sort out all that maintenance....I like it quite a lot.

A 12L tank? That's ridiculous..
Went out for a wee ride on the back roads....a black Acura came barreling up behind me and tailgated me trying to push me into running him...when that failed he pulled beside me in the other lane and motioned for me to run....
I got on the brakes to let him go ahead and he flipped me off then took off in a cloud of smoke...
I decided I have had enough of these clowns so I pulled off and called the police. I gave them a description of the car, the driver and the license plate.
The cop I talked to knew the car and driver well as he's a habitual traffic offender...the cop was also really surprised the guy tried to run my bike as the cop rides a GSXR and would not want to run a Hayabusa.
I got a call from the cop a few minutes ago and they stopped the guy who had no insurance, expired tags and they got him for a loud exhaust and illegal window tint. They couldn't do anything for his trying to initiate a race as they weren't there and I didn't have it on video...

I once had a base model charger trying to get me to race. Busa had a touring set up (saddle bags, tail bag), i was doing the speed limit in the middle lane and he kept passing me and breaking. Annoying, but i eventually just got in the right lane and let him do his thing.

I definitely don't approve of the tailgating part but I get these kinds all the time and either I end up making them feel stupid or I just laugh and and shake my head no at em and they go on and leave me alone.

Where I live near Detroit seems like everyone has a charger or challenger and think their hellcats or scat packs are fast and always wanna race, best part was one of the guys that did this got left by one of our guys that was on a clapped out gixxer 600 and we happened to see him a few mins later at the gas station. He came up asking which one of us had just done that to his obscenely expensive car and when we all pointed at the bike and told him the kid had about 1200 dollars into to beat him that bad he looked like he wanted to cry
