    Absolutely. Just pulled in from a 140 mile ride through the Finger Lakes. It was fun monitoring radar and taking all sorts of different roads I never would have while avoiding thunderstorms. Roads were wet almost everywhere I went, but I never got a drop on me!

    At 26,078 miles, my final drive is draining in the garage, as I type this. Took less than one minute to unthread plugs. I'll fill it with fresh oil later tonight. Easy, easy, easy.

    Wing note: Saw first new Wing (not a Tour) ever heading west over Italy Hill between Branchport and Naples. It was brown/orange color. Was riding with a bunch of different bikes ... sport bikes, Harleys, Star cruisers.
