Gonna be a rough day today. Nothing but terrible flat straight boring roads. BRP, Foothills, Dragon and Cherohala. That's all before lunch.

At least that's what it feels like. I've always had naked or nearly naked bikes but decided to pull the trigger on a Connie 14. I think it was a good decision. This whole wind protection thing is fucking awesome aside from a little trouble judging speed compared to a naked bike. This thing is super stable and smooth at speed and handles well enough to give 1/4" chicken strips the first time out on fresh rubber. All kinds of power doesn't hurt either. Took it over to the river Saturday and it's not my zrx but it's not bad at all in the twisties for a touring bike. 800 and 536 were plenty of fun. The linked brakes seem to be the biggest downfall for me (parking lots and such) but I have no doubt I'll get used to them eventually. Also having to do the 15k mile service including valve adjustment over the winter bites a bit. Planning two trips to Tennessee and a trip to Florida next year so it was time to find a more appropriate bike. Mostly just really excited about this thing and wanted to share.

Haven't ridden since my track day about a month ago, so I checked the tires, put the seat cowl back on, made sure everything else was good and went for a ride. It felt good to ride today, I'm hoping to get out this weekend too. ?

You're just jealous

Toniks route, tonik's restaurant.... I'm sensing a theme here

Officially in. I'll sweep you fast mofos.

I refuse to be arrested by a police car the offends anyone.

Prolly see you fuckers in the AM. Don't wait on me. If I come I"ll be there early.

Thanks fellas. I'll be sure to pick up the items you mentioned just in case. Terry has my seat so looking forward to getting it back. No doubt I'll be thru this thing pretty good over the winter I get bored and can't stop myself. I figure it's gonna be in the garage a long time to come so I may as well know my way around it.

OH at Foothills overlook. Wonder which gloves will give me the best feel for the dragon. How about you feel my nuts.

You guys are making me so jealous. Just spent a week and a half watching updates from my friend ride the Trans American Trail. Now you are riding some ot the best paved roads in the East. Meanwhile I am stuck at work trying to get this project out the door.

Misguided. Thier slicks are pretty good on a sumo. That's about it. Drag racers seem to like them too

Rode the bike to work today. The ride in was a bit chilly, but ride home was great to forget about high schoolers. Continued my work on piecing back together my quad. I put the case back together the other night. Tonight I put in the oil pumps and the gears that drive them. I also installed the balancers and the primary drive gear. Thankfully I took a look at the starter clutch that came with the used flywheel I purchased on EBay. It was trashed so I swapped it with the one I had in my flywheel I broke. Hopefully I will have everything pieced back together soon and I’ll just be waiting on the piston and cylinder to arrive.

Trout at Carvers and at our hotel in Maggie. Today's route was awesome. Thanks @Isaac's Papa. God help us tomorrow when Tim made the route. I mean, we are talking about a guy that brought bullets for his gun, but no gun.

Welcome to the Sport Touring crowd. It seems like more and more people are drinking the Kool-Aid each year.

So reading through this thread, I must be the most hated MOFO on this site. 1) I'm a millennial 2) I rip 100+ down the highway at times 3) I go bonkers in the twisties on SEO 4) I double yellow pass 5) I post my ride routes online for police 6) I do the occasional wheelie 7) I'm a motovlogger ( @Casper ) 8) I've taken my DSLR and drone to cars and coffee for them instagram posts 9) I've been to the drag strip where I like to go fast straight 10) I've also been to the road track where I go decently fast in corners. Either way, I'm just like fuck you all because when I ride, I ride to do whatever makes me happy at that moment. If I'm feeling frisky, I get frisky. I don't worry about what others think of me (see myself holding a dildo in my avatar), regardless of how pissy they get when I go around them.

Looks like I can't make it
