Picked up the RTL from the dealer's service guys. Appartently they had to bring in help from their other dealership to work on the brake switch problem/fix. They must have done something else as well. The whole bike felt "better". The bike ran smoother with a bit more pep. I rode a different route home trying to avoid high traffic areas and failed. There are only so many ways around large-ish cities and to get over a big wide river. All roads seem to funnel down to one or two bridges. But it was a beautiful day to ride with cool temperatures and a clear blue sky. I rode 131 miles today.
No fault codes popped up on the ride home. Hope they are gone. Only time and miles will tell.

Probably a firmware update. After my last service mine felt much better too. I live at 5,000 feet so every little bit of a change regarding pep is really noticed.

Found out that a 10 lb box of milk bones for my dawg, wouldn't fit in the frunk. Lol
I had to ride home with the box on my left thigh for 15 miles one handed. Never again. My Dawg is happy though. ;-)> 20230902_104501.jpg

I carry a cargo net and bungees in case I find something too big to put in the frunk or trunk or sidebags.. can strap it to the empty passenger seat and those grab rails.

I use bungees cables to strap my luggage on the passenger seat when I go traveling. Sometimes I use a bungee cable/cord to strap 2 pieces of items that I have found at Lowes.

I took 90 mile ride to recon where I pick up my rental bike ,so when my Brother comes out here next week, there won't be any gps surprises. Not much to choose from out here when it comes to rentals. I did manage to secure a BMW R 1200 GS. Other choice was a HD XL 1200. My Brother isn't a big fan of HD. He normally rides his Ducati Panigale 1199 tri color, KTM Super Duke, or Suzuki Bandit 1200. Hope he can adapt to an Adventure bike. I see plenty of them here in the mountains .
Can't wait to ride with him. It's been at least 16 years.

I like to use Rok straps. Various sizes and color combinations are available on Amazon.

Took a short ride, and found a station that sells 93 octane 100% gas. Filled up, but I don't think I'll continue to use it at $4.50 a gallon.
I just like to ride this F3S.

Jeez, if only we could get gas that cheap here in my part of Oz!!
At the moment, here in my part of Oz, just standard ULP (91 RON) is costing us about $2.10-$2.20 per litre, or about $8.08-$8.47 for one of your gallons.... And the Oz RON equivalent of your 93 can be as much as $0.10-$0.20 per litre more expensive!!

Finally figured out an easy way to secure large items to the RTL's passenger seat. I do most all the grocery shopping and regularly purchase 12 packs of soda and 2 1/2 gal. drinking water.
My F3 has great attachment points with the Shad side racks and Baker luggage rack. Notice the Rok Straps. For adjustability and durability, they are far supieror to bungees.
The RTL has no easily accessable points. So some 1" nylon strap and a couple of hardware store carabiners did the trick. Just remove the passenger seatback, thread the strap through and down to the bottom of the seatback area, from the top inside of the trunk. Tie the strap ends in a loop and attach 'biner's, and reinstall seatback. Rok straps from those points and the hand-rails for over the top, will keep things secure.

We went for an early morning ride to try to beat the heat. We decided to look for some covered bridges. From the house we headed southwest into northern Delaware heading for Smith's Covered Bridge conveniently located on Smithbridge (one word) Road. Then it was over to Hockessin to find the Ashland Covered Bridge. Next it was west into Maryland to locate the Foxcatcher Farm's Covered Bridge which has been converted to a pedestrian bridge. Then it was back north into Pennsylvania to find The Glen Hope Covered Bridge and the Linton-Stevens Covered Bridge. The Linton-Stevens Covered Bridge is along a very pretty trout stream. We didn't see anyone fishing today. At the bridge a restored 1930's Ford pickup waited for us to cross first. We checked each other out as we passed. Then we worked our way back home. We failed to beat the heat, it was hot by the time we got home.
We look for covered bridges not because we have a deep interest in bridges. But because they are generally on very lightly travelled wooded roads. The bridges are old, mostly built in the 1850s, made of wood, and have a height and weight restrictions. This limits their use to cars and narrow pickup trucks. Around this area they are plentiful and relatively easy to find. The negative is average speed for our trip is about 30 mph and the roads can be a bit rough.
Total of 152 miles for the day.
Sorry about the pictures, orientation is all over the place.

I installed a cheap $21 TPMS today. It reads all 4 pressures.
Is the 4th pressure inside the helmet, like cabin pressure?
