Long ride while sick on the PC800

This morning when I woke up I was pretty sick. After a few sudafeds I didn’t feel any better. I couldn’t clear my ears and was feeling pretty rotten. Today I was supposed to drive up to Washington to go diving for the weekend. Not wanting to get everyone sick, I stayed in Corvallis. In the afternoon I was still feeling yucky but I decided it was time to get out and do something. In retrospect it probably wasn’t the smartest thing to do but I jumped on the PC800 and took off to points unknown.

The total ride was about 130 miles. I got gas in Junction City. The bike took 2.88 gallons. The last fill-up was 112.8 miles before. That would give me 39.1 mpg. However, I lost a fair amount of gas to the maintenance I performed over the last month.

Trying out the new crash guards and buying highway pegs

Today I went on a short ride to try out the new crash guards I bought on Ebay last week. Halfway through the ride I decided to stop at Fred’s Honda in Corvallis to pick up a pair of cheap highway pegs to mount on the guards. They aren’t perfect but they work pretty well. To make them better, I’ll need to pony up the money to get a pair of forward-hanging pegs.

More on the crash guard installation will be posted later.

Distance: 35-ish miles.
