I road the KPX around the local back roads through the swamp and twisties. I shot lots of worthless video. Not sure what went wrong with my helmet mic. All the audio came through the camera mic, so all you could hear is wind noise. I can shoot video all day long with my phone with no issue. Strap a camera to my helmet and it seems like something is always messed up. lol

I got to test out the tail bag I installed. Man that thing is huge. I had no issues with the bag staying in place. The bag is well constructed and has multiple ways of securing it to the bike.

Yesterday I rode over around South Mountain State Park. mostly paved with only about 2 or 3 miles of relatively easy 2-track gravel (although heavily covered with leaves).

Getting chilly here in the south. Yesterday I rode the GW to work in 30 degree morning temps. Today was 19. I chose to work from home.

I got the right side misfire fixed on the Ural this morning and took a ride around the neighborhood. Spied the path into the woods that the local kids use on their ATVs and went in. Although only 15F, the snow in direct sunlight was turning to slush with mud underneath. I needed 2wd to get up the hill to the street.

Rode up and down the highway a few miles to test my digital dash's speedometer. It was lying to me. Had the tire size at 21", which is the size of the actual tire. Will try 19" to see how close that is.

As I remember, they aren't accurate on the "correct" setting. I don't recall if it was 19, but I do remember it was correctable. good luck with it.
