Pre-Pre-Ride

The Pre-Pre-Ride on Saturday was a blast! I learned a lot about the bike....and what I don't like about it. It's great on the freseway if the windscreen created less wind noise and buffeting. It's great on twisty, beat up roads but I need firmer springs for the suspension to handle my ever growing weight. It's pretty quick but it gets crappy mileage when I flog it (~32mpg). I have a few new parts en route from the FedEx angels to help address the suspension and windscreen issues. It's only money, right?? I spend it like I have it...

Unfortunately, I still have the clutch problem. After talking with a few BMW mechanic friends it seems to be the slave cylinder so I'm fighting with BMW NA to fix it rather than re-bleed the hydraulics. Again. If the local dealer won't fix it, I have another dealer that will work with me to get it fixed... I just want it to work as it supposed to!!!

I hope to have the bike back by Saturday so I can take it out and put some more miles on it with my new farkles. Fingers crossed!
