Well this weekend I took a ride out to the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola, FL. I rode out on sat, leaving late I took the short highway route of 75N to 10W. Sunday I went to the museum and spent about 2 hours looking over everything. They have a lot of really cool planes and artifacts in there and I would suggest anyone go if they get a chance. I spent a good chunk of that time in the LTA section as its what I do for the Navy, hopefully somewhere down the road I'll be in there . Also got to meet Secretary Rumsfeld which was kinda neat, he was there doing a book signing. For the route home I took 98E along the Gulf Coast. The first 100 miles sucked as it was mostly light infested tourist trap towns one right after another. After that though it was awesome, cruising along right next to the shoreline. Another bonus was that there was a good number of bridges. Heres a link to pictures I took throughout the day mostly at the museum and a few on the way home.

Yeah, it's the Cortech sport tail bag. I think it fits the MTS really well and attaches to the grab rail easily with integral bungees. I'll still need to aquire the topcase for the wife but in 90% of all cases, the tailbag is all I need.

Looks like you did not get the CLUTCH sliders. Did you consider them?

Sorry, I am thinking about doing the same thing on mine but was going to get the clutch sliders as well.

BTW - Thanks for the pictures.

Too many things to list including Rizoma brake reservoir.
Peeled all the crappy wheel weight off and installed Dynabeads. Seem to work very well indeed in a high speed test ride.

I also fitted these as an experiment. World's cheapest tyre pressure monitors.





They may leak or be hopeless but they just might work. You can see if your pressures are Ok at a glance. maybe.

Follow up - they suck. Fell apart first ride! get what you pay for.

Lightbulb Air psi tires

de-flate and use nitrogen

Last longer , not compressing shop air and putting water in the tire's

Did a trackday Monday mostly in the rain, set it in urban mode and had some fun. Day started out bad while unloading one of the bikes off the trailer I snapped off the Multstrada's number plate holder, cheap plastic!

LOL. I had these in my hand at autozone this past weekend. I put them back because they seemed a little heavy. I like the idea, however.
