Who knew having black leather on your back in direct sunlight was a heat sink?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just errands today, 8.30 to 11.30. Deposited the check for the FTR. Cancelled the FTR registration, turned in the plate and got it off my property taxes. Put some stuff back in the bank lock box. Sheetz for lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s it. At 82 miles on the tank. Might go meet Mark in Charlottesville tomorrow to meet for lunch and gather my vinyl from his trip to Scotland. There\u2019s E0 at a Wawa sort of on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bike is great for around town\u2014lot seat, light weight, super happy at 45 mph. Way better for errands than the GS!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/wes_r90_breakfastlot-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10881 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/wes_r90_breakfastlot-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10881 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/wes_r90_breakfastlot-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/wes_r90_breakfastlot-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/wes_r90_breakfastlot-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/wes_r90_breakfastlot.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><I>Another shot from yesterday&#8217;s breakfast with RBMWR.<\/I><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Black leather jacket was a poor choice\u2014after the first stop, hot &#038; sweaty despite temps in the 50s and low 60s.
