Look what I brought home today...
« on: March 25, 2020, 07:50:11 PM »




Bike is ready, Governor is closing Oklahoma at midnight so I played hooky from work and hauled butt with my daughter to pick the bike up.

It runs better than ever. Don and crew at Motiv in OKC did an amazing job on it. I hate that I was without it for 7 months, but that issue is being addressed right now as well. I can chime in later with more details, but I know some of you were very interested in the outcome.

Did 240 miles from OKC to home without issues. Had to make a few adjustments to my personal settings since there's a new computer in it, but after a few minutes that was resolved. Managed an 83mph average from OKC to Mountain Missouri. Ran it hard and loved every mile of it.  Trust will probably come back with more miles.

Indian what?...

     Ok, that there; that's just bragging, that's all that is, ;~)  :bow: :thumb: :evil:

     Perfect timing, glad you got it back in your garage and it's running sweet.

     It won't be too long before you'll have those tires worn out and you'll be pulling rank and asking us for the best deals on new rubber.

     Ride safe and often

That looks like a "LOT OF BIKE" .    Did you say it got a new computer ?

Among other things. A grocery list of other issues resolved.
