Just back from a bacon & sausage cob in Welshpool.
Cob was disappointing, but the coffee and ride were bob on

It's nothing special just my everyday 2.2 diesel, which thanks to Covid gets to live a couple more years at least

Doubts?!?!?! None, nada, not a one, if it burst into flames tomorrow I'd order another one before the ashes had cooled.

Hmmmmm.

I've not been keeping up with firmware or app updates from Vance & Hines for the fuelpak tuner, why would I it works as is... But a session this afternoon leads me to discover many new features have been added.
So installing cruise control no longer requires a dealer visit to flash the ECU, I'm mightily tempted to stick it on my xmas list :banana-wrench:

Time to get rid of the dinner plate chrome frisbee derby cover

But Harley being cock wombles decided to change the gasket type and didn't tell me :angry-cussingblack:
Oh well, got to use my new lift / stand, which works as advertised once you throw away the included handle and replace it with a good old Halfords ratchet socket.

Fucksticks and botheration.
Just found out a part I wanted is on backorder until July :angry-cussingblack:

It's not something that's gonna stop me riding it, but I had semi planned to throw a load of new parts at it before this season starts

Nothing major, OK maybe a smidge OTT to address an issue, but hey why not.
Mostly foot controls and grips, and maybe cruise control
