Post work ride on a hot Friday in Concord. Spent the morning doing some important work on the bike. Take care of your motorcycle and it will take care of you. A regular maintenance program is important. Just a few weeks ago I had the shaft drive lubricated; today I changed the oil and filter, spark plugs, checked the rear gear oil, added some antifreeze, lubricated the cables, checked over the bolts, and cleaned the K+N air filter (great thing a K+N...clean it, add some filter oil, and you are good to go). Not only does work like that make the bike safer and add years to its life, but also can prevent costly breakdowns.
Following the work, washed and waxed the bike, and then took it out for a short ride. I took this photo off of Spring Street in Concord, NC while out. Once again, a very hot and humid day, but a good day for a ride, and enjoyed it a great deal.
