    Patch-no goals. This is just me. Rollin. Although if I'm within one hundred miles of the next 1000 mark, it's very hard for me to get to the house. Lol

    Yesterday afternoon, for instance, I'm 48 miles shy of 28K. Normally, there is no way I would've let that stand. Lol. But I stopped by the house, closed my eyes JUST FOR A MINUTE, and woke up twelve hours later.

    Btw, with your mileage, we may run into each other in the next couple of months. I'm planning to head through your great state. Stopping in The Woodlands, Round Rock, and Seguin.

    omgwtfbbq! I do the same thing...If I'm close to ticking a 1K marker, I keep riding. I knew there had to be someone else out there that did this.

    I'm in Pflugerville, just an exit or two down from Round Rock. If you are gonna be in the area on a weekend or a day other than end of a month, and you are up for an adventure I'd be happy to join you for a trip out for the three sisters if you're up for an all day event, or if you'd like to explore around the Austin area, there are about 10 really good roads that can be hit in a matter of 6 to 8 hours.

    And open to anyone passing through the area...I'd be happy to buy ya lunch or dinner if you're just passing through. There are alot of unique places to get your grub on. Just let me know what yer hunkerin' for.

    Were you able to get your Heli bars mounted? If so how do you like them? I can read so I don't need a photo.

    They're mounted. I've got about a thousand miles on them. They are unreal. I really wasn't expecting this dramatic of a difference. Right side feels great.

    But the handling. Omg. I was on an extremely rough road earlier today. The pavement was wavy. Across the lane and down the lane. Lol. Before I would've been bouncing all over the road. No more.

    If I am not mistaken the bar at the top that connects the unit together ads some stability to the forks.

    Yes, it does provide stability.

    Between an added fork brace and that bar, there is very little wiggle room for the handlebars.

    Helibars are on my "wish list."
    Maybe I can get a "go-fund-me" thing started.....
