Nothing today. As I slipped on ice just outside the front step, fell and fractured my wrist. We're not supposed to have ice here this late in February. Orthopedic on Monday.

Here she is .
I ordered some bling for the Tuono. I was digging through the Aprilia parts catalog and discovered that RSV4 Factory Brembo M4 calipers cost less than retail as a spare. $428 per each caliper kit; X2 calipers, pads, clips, etc. Retail new is between $800 and $1,400 depending on finish.
I also discovered that the Ohlins steering damper is less as a spare than retail. So I picked one up too. The idea is make my bike a "Factory", then if I decide to get the new Tuono, transfer the parts. But that won't happen, if it even does, until next year.
The hard part to find are the Ohlins forks. I'll keep my eyes open. I'm sure something will pop up this summer.
This fracture wrist thing is costing me money!

Today I woke up at the girlfriend's, packed with the intention of going on a couple day tour down in the Washington Olympia region. We had a massive thunderstorm yesterday evening and the clouds were still lingering so I decided I would just go home instead. Three blocks from home I noticed the front brakes felt wrong. As it turns out, they were indeed 'wrong'. The front right pad retainer broke and one of the pads fell out and was just hanging around. I parked the bike and ordered the part, should have it in a couple of days.
Good thing you noticed that could have been ugly. Good bike you didnt even have to push her !!
So this is my issue:
