Put down 425 miles in a little over 8hrs. Pretty good day for my first real ride this year. 800S from 22 to 26 pretty much sucks. 26S was good all the way to 260N. 260 was in good shape heading north to 145. If you run 260S watch out for a dip just before getting to 26. Random photo on 260 or 145 It was great to run into @NinjaDoc He’ll tell you he doesn’t remember how to ride, but if you get him on 164 he pretty much goes back to his old self.

@Gixxus Christ! stop creeping in the background.

Great time, tyvm John. Pic of @2talltim and a box he made.

I care. Personally, I'd rather see that new bike of yours. Although chauffeuring Derek around again in the Tesla would be fun too...

Well, I'm loaded for tomorrow. I think. Sure there will be several things forgotten. First day of the year, yippee! Took the Daytona around the block, first time I've ridden it since last May and man o man is it fun. Brakes work, smashed my little jeuvos. Off to a good start!

I tried, the conversation went kind of like this... Hey, guy I know applied. Cool, how do you know him? From a motorcycle message board I hang at. Awesome, we have a ton of bikers here, he might be a great fit! What does he ride? Well, he sold it about four years ago. And he still hangs there? Yea. Well, thanks for bringing it to our attention.

So today I got to try the hill start assist a few times. You stop and are on an uphill you partially release the brake and then squeeze it hard and that activates the system. When it's time to go you fully release the brake and the bike keeps the brakes on until it feels you applying power to the rear wheel and then it automatically releases the brakes for you. Super smooth and natural take off. I have to check the manual again, I bet this thing gives handies.

I'm out. Work decided to switch me to weekend shift until July. No epic ride or gap trip for me 😕
