My buddy and I took an awesome 4200 mile bike trip from Sacramento, California through Nevada, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Utah. I Rode my Kawasaki Concours 14, and he was on his BMW R1150 RT. We both took a bunch of video on the trip; me with a hand held, and he with a Go Pro. When we got back, he spent about a week of hard work editing both of our footage into a pretty cool short video.

Had a chance to try a Yamaha Bolt on an "unsupervised" road test the other night. Why would I bother? Why should anyone care? Well, with everyone all for or against the new Harley 750 I thought the competition for entry level V twin should get a try(plus I really think it looks neat). New bike, but the parts guy at the local dealer had been allowed to accessorize it a bit before I got it. He swapped the bars for some "Z" style ones. Didn't care for them as they brought my hands too close together for cornering comfortably at speed. But the pipe he put on it was one I may need to think on for my own Sporty.

Showed I had called the OL but it had no time on the icon where it was at the top of the screen like I had put her on Hold.
Don't even remember trying to call her.
I was trying to rebuild a cabinet downstairs and was hung up on doing that from 8:00 to 4:00

Had to take the phone cover off the back of the phone and take the battery out of my phone to turn it off.
Then I turned it back on.

Never had anything to happen like that.

Its like my phone was 1/2 on and 1/2 off. And you couldn't make it do anything.

be interesting to see how they work out in reality, the new radio, air vent, other than
