September 2012

Well here we are another month and still not a lot of riding.  After getting back from Denver, I turned right around and headed for Indiana, to visit family.  We took the train out of New Mexico to Chicago.  I think we all enjoy the ride.  If you have not been on the train in a while it is quite the experience.  Okay back to motorcycles, I'm currently working on getting the bike in shape for the BN1000 coming up in November.  I'm hoping to get the air cleaner, plugs and vavle check completed in the next couple of weeks.  I'm also checking into the best way to carry extra fuel.  My V-Strom doesn't have an auxiliary fuel cell like my FJR1300 and I really don't want to go through the expense of adding one.  My range is only 220-240 miles based on if I can keep it under 75 mph so I need a way to protect myself just in case I need extra fuel.  

The riding group I belong to has several rides set up in the coming months so hopefully I'll get some miles on the bike before the BN1000.  We are starting in Las Vegas, NM but not sure of the route yet.  

Well until next time ride safe.
