I spent most of today (0830-1730) at Lone Star HD in Tyler TX getting my 110,000-mile service. They also put on my new Dunlop tires, replaced my rear brake pads since the tire was already off, replaced my clutch plates (they were warped and it's been über difficult to find neutral), fixed the leaking shift shaft seal, and replaced my completely shot swing arm bearings. Michael is running tip top now, and I'm much happier with the rear suspension and an easy neutral.
Leaving there, I jumped on I-20 and tore out to Jackson MS where I'm camped at the local HD. I got a refresher course on my bike jack in the gravel parking lot when I was turning around and hit a deep spot that tipped me over. Man, am I glad I have that jack!!
I don't know how much sleep I'll get because it's over 80°F and humid AF 🥵. But I'm in my new tent for the first time and all the doors and windows are open with the netting closed. I'm sweating so much that I didn't bother pulling out any of my camping stuff, like the sleeping bag or air mattress. I need to move my inflatable pillow to somewhere more easily accessible though.
Mississippi Capitol Building in the morning! 👍
Hope to see you on the road! Remember, NO WHINING! ✌️
