Up until about three years ago I never had an interest in street riding but as you get older your interests can change. My Luxury Liner touring bike. K1600GTL My latest edition 17'KTM 1290R Adventure
With all the dirt riding and racing the last few years this ol girl was stuck in the back of the garage. Last time I rode it was across country years ago when the volt meter started swinging wildly in the last 200 miles home. After a VR didn't solve it I bought a new stator and some other parts for maintenance, but never got around to working on it. It just sat on a battery tender. The battery finally stopped taking a charge so I bought a Lithium battery over a year ago, but still never actually took it for a ride, just started it occasionally. I decided it was past time for that test ride on Saturday. I dug it out, aired up the tires and washed it. Then went for a 55 mile ride. Looks like she just needed a battery after all.
