[2965] Today Amanda and I decided to take a cruise around the lake. First we had to drive by Paisley Park, again, to check on the memorials for Prince. This was the first time I used the stereo system so of course I synced my phone and blasted his greatest hits as we rode. Purple Rain was on full blast as we rolled by the scene. After that we made our way west and then north eventually looping back through the main drags around the shores of Lake Minnetonka. [3015]

[2804] My cousin Chris and I met up around 10:30. We headed south to Henderson and stopped in town for lunch. After we grabbed a bite we continued south towards La Sueur and then Kasota. From there we made our way north and west eventually ending up in Gaylord. We gassed up and then headed back to Henderson via 19. The weather was great except for some heavy side wind in the open farmland areas. [2965]

*New format update. I will be opening all posts with the mileage when I begin my ride and then I will close my posts with the mileage at the end of the ride.
[2748] The bike has been staring me down for far to long now and the weather was finally agreeable. I took a ride out west and then snaked back through the lake on my way back home. I noticed a few minor discomforts during my ride, some of which will just be adjusting to the bike, and then some others that may require new parts altogether. I'm not planning on making drastic changes just a few updates that would help with comfort. [2804]

#BackInTheSaddle. Today I purchased a 2007 Honda VTX 1800F spec-1. I bought it from the original owner who had picked it up as a carryover in 2010. He had only put 2,650 miles on the bike and the condition shows that. He also added a few upgrades such as a batwing style fairing from Reckless, Rinehart racing exhaust, Vikingbags hard saddles, and a backrest. The weather was great today so I took it out for a spin and then rode 2 up once Amanda got home. I'm still getting used to the foot forward position of the controls compared to the F6B but so far no issues with my back which is great. The odometer now shows 2748 so I almost knocked out 100 miles in day one. Here is what it looks like:
