thefathippy<p>Shamefully, I've hardly ridden my <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/motorcycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>motorcycle</span></a> in the last year, flattening its battery. When I last went to start it, ruh-roh, no go, error codes, &amp; the dreaded check engine light. 😭</p><p>Got that checked today Errors cleared. Low voltage (duh). New battery &amp; all's well.</p><p>Now to do more riding. My head's in a better space now, so with any luck, &amp; a lot less procrastination, it will happen. I can't blame the bike anymore! But damn it was cold this morning - I *can* blame that! 😂😂😂</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/KTM690" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KTM690</span></a></p>

Jonathan Kamens 86 47<p><a href="https://federate.social/tags/AchievementUnlocked" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AchievementUnlocked</span></a>: Took my wife on the <a href="https://federate.social/tags/motorcycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>motorcycle</span></a> on the highway this morning, survived unscratched (us and the bike). We rode to the nearest bike dealer with a decent selection in their accessories shop, about 45 minutes each way so wife could pick out summer-weight gloves for herself. Stopped at Dunkin on the way for breakfast. Traffic wasn't terrible, and neither was my clutch work, though I imagine totally smooth shifting in stop-and-go traffic takes lots and lots of practice.</p>

Jorijn Schrijvershof<p>I saw someone on a <a href="https://toot.community/tags/motorcycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>motorcycle</span></a> this morning, stuck in traffic. There was plenty of space to go between the cars—no big bike either. I was confused why they didn't take advantage of their privilege to ride between the cars.</p>

Nathan Arthur<p>Front tire TPMS on my BMW R1200RT <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/motorcycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>motorcycle</span></a> went out before yesterday’s ride. Reported it as a flat front tire, which was alarming! </p><p>Turns out they are battery powered with sealed-in batteries. 🤦 And genuine replacement parts are ~$50 each, or ~$25 aftermarket… plus a $400 tool to program the bike to recognize them. 🤬 Or roughly $400 to have the dealer replace them. 🤬</p><p>So… hack job here I come! …as soon as I get home.</p>

LeeRayl<p>Ellensburg for gas and stretch. Making decent time for now.

Rise and shine campers we got miles to throw down. Got to roll west today. Back home over the big hill. 300 miles give or take.

Gonna pack up and get on the road. Hopefully beat the wind on the plateau. Going to take it easy going home. I have all day so unlike normal I don’t have to push.

Not gonna lie, I am sore today, I think there will be more than a couple stops today to stretch. I am also going to try to get to the Pass early so I am not jammed up in weekend traffic.

I will try to keep the rubber side down.

Oh and what kind adventure would it be if I didn’t have some kind of issue! Had a butt splice repair at the campground with a leatherman.
