Added to the fleet!
by Cruiser68 » December 1st, 2018, 12:50 pm
Well, I thought I would put this up here. 
I made the mistake of watching 'Long Way Round' and 'Long Way Down'. I also had the great privilege to ride Forest Service Road 16 across Oregon (with about 5 miles of gravel) on my Harley and decided I needed to add to the fleet.
My son walked into the shop right after I brought her home and said "Wow...I like that one. Can I sit on it?"
Hmmmmm....
2012 Suzuki Vstrom Adventure. She looks to be in good shape. Lots of aftermarket parts already and I added a center stand. Learning about chain maintenance...cleaned up the chain and sprockets and found them to be in better shape that I thought when I bought it. Needs new rear tire.
There is some messed up wiring under the seat I need to attend to, but that should not be a huge problem. The turn signals started not working every time today...have to look into that. Otherwise she is a kick in the pants!

'Oh Shit!' is usually the moment when your plan parts ways with reality
