Rode around the block twice... to check the oil change and transfer oil change. First break-in changes at 580 miles. By the time I finished, I was too tired to go any farther. Will be going from Houston area to the Texas Pan Handle in about two weeks... A proper shake down for a broken-in Raider. Cheers.

    St Louis to Tulsa today total 389 miles. Averaged 36-37 mpg mostly because traffic was flying so then was I. Made 4 fuel stops, total 6.5 hours with stops. Ride was great and Raider was flawless. Just need to get bars that come back to me more. ;D

    From your profile it appears that you still have stock handle bars.  I just recently had to change out my bars because of an accident but the company that made my bars is no longer in business.  I went with the Pacific Coast Star Raider 1 1/2" Radius Super Sweep Bars.  They are so much better than the ones I had and I thought those were great.  9" Pull Back, stock bars are 7"
    Are you saying Pacific Coast Star is no longer in business or they just don't do the bars?  I have gotten a lot of stuff from Pacific Coast Star in the past and would be greatly disappointed if they are gone.

    No, the company I got my first set of bars from is out of business, not Pacific Coast Star.  I said the company that made my bars is no longer in business so I went with PCS.
    My weird brain translated it as the bars you have were from a company not in business any more and these are what they are.  I am so glad PCS is still going.

      Have been off work (vacation) since Thursday. 

      Rode to hospital to visit my mom (who's out now).
      Rode to the west side of the Phoenix area to Bike Night.
      Rode to center of Phoenix to Convention Center.
      Rode a few miles over to help unload a truck from the convention.

      Was going to ride to North Scottsdale to see the latest Pirates movie yesterday, but after riding in the morning Desiree thought the heat may get to her, so we drove.  She thanked me later. It was pretty warm out.

      Weather is just about perfect today...sun's out and it's supposed to top out just under 80.  Bet your ass I rode in to work today.

      The wife called this morning to tell me that the little low tire pressure light came on in the car.  Told her not to worry about it, I would run home and take a look at it quick.  Cause using a pressure gauge and compressor is so hard, not cause it's such a nice day out. ;)

      Finally got to take the bike out today, after about a week of rain.  I ain't complaining 'cuz we really needed the rain, but it's good to get a little break to waste some gas.  Only got in about 30 or 40 miles, but it was good.
