Well today was warm enough to get out and take all the bikes to the gas station for a fill-up and then put some Stabil in the fuel tanks. Also hooked a battery tender to each bike, found I was 2 short on Monday so ordered some from Amazon along with a power strip to plug everything into. No more bowl of spaghetti cords all over my garage now with a 12-plug strip. Little brother Pat and his wife are staying with me for a few months, so he helped with the riding the bikes to get gas. He'd never tried out any sport bikes, so I suggested he ride my Speed Triple. I then suggested on the way back he attempt to get to 6000 RPM. He got it to about 4000 before it started to scare him. He really liked the sound of my Thruxton and when I told him how to access SPORT mode he really really liked the sound and the added power. He got all blippy with its throttle on the way home. We may have an opportunity to get some miles in on Saturday so will be curious which bike he wants to ride (usually he opts for the T-bird or Rocket).
