into the hills

Rode the bike to my parents place this weekend, and then up into the mountains with dad, brother-in-law, and brother-in-laws dad. They are all harley types, so it was a pretty laid back ride most of the way. Up 321 to boone, down 105 aways, BRP a bit, then down 226 to marion, and back to Statesville via 10 and 18.

Did some wandering around Statesville Sunday before heading back. I definitely need a new rear tire now.

On the way home, clicked over 10,000 miles on the odometer, just over half of which is mine.

Didn’t do any work on the bike, though current plans are possibly putting the “superbars” handlebars that used to be on it back on, and maybe rigging up some sort of removable saddle bag rail for trips. Might also look into modifying the bracket that holes the taillight/license plate so I can mount the turn signals there as well.
