Staples is running some kind of special now but they don't do round edges on stuff. They have experts on staff there and maybe they can talk to a manager and figure something out.

I finally tried this when it went on sale and as someone else said, it's smoother than Yeungling and overall pretty good. I like Warsteiner Dunkel best in this type of beer. Now that Bell's Oberon is out, I'll be ignoring this amber stuff for a while.

One of the things I like about the VFR is the big dual low beams. I have had cars almost pull out in front of me and stop, I think, because those beams were staring 'em down.

Hang in there. Some of this stuff happens for a reason. That first house got you moving and now maybe you'll find the one you were meant to buy!

Nice! Thanks Doc!

In reality, I probably wouldn't say the ass-kicking part. Felt good to write it but I'm a bit too laid back to overtly swear in front of a kid. But let's say it's a classic car - a '67 GTO convertible - and the kid just climbs in with an ice cream cone. Feel different? To me that's analogous.

Talk to the kid. Something close to this: "Hi there kiddo. Since your dad doesn't seem to know his ass from his elbow, I'll explain some basic stuff to you for future reference. You don't ever sit on someone's motorcycle without asking first. Motorcyclists like their machines, so don't drip gooey stuff all over them. Finally, if you do either of these things, you should expect to get an ass kicking. Okay?"

May have petroleum distillates in it. Causes discoloration. Same is true for Original Bike Spirits, can't use it on your windscreen or it'll yellow it.

Those always get turned into bobbers.

Yeah. Me too. I'm in the ball cap thinkin' "I somebody going to signal me when we are ready to start?"

Same here. Things change and maybe you'll be back.

No worries on the organizing. Actually, thanks for that. Worked out well. On the cramp - Yeah, I had the same thing! I was running sweep on one of the slow groups but a faster group came up after the fuel stop. I put my foot out to point out some grass out in a corner and my hip cramped like hell. Went away though. Damn lucky as a sweep I didn't need to do that anymore. Did the leg workout today (can't skip legs) with no problems. Oh, and we started the day with 13 I think and ended with 8 after the Nelsonville stop.

Good riding with you, Al Z. Never mind the detour, only about a mile out of the way. Ya did great.

Great day today! Good ride and met some folks. A few pics: Before we chased the Sears guy off. Some arrivals: Gathering: Getting some mass: Ninjadoc

Very nice. Here's black on silver:

I was reading through this thread, said a prayer . . . and then I see this! It doesn't usually work that fast.

You haven't seen the wallpaper yet.

Basically overlapping stops/takeoffs. Thanks for sweating the details on this, doc.

I'm good with the new route.

Was thinking about this but it's just enough out of the way that I think I'll see everyone at the Logan meet up spot. Thanks for setting this up though!

I still think it's the battery.

I had this happen with a dead battery. The thing actually died at a gas station before a ride. I suspected electrical problems but once somebody pushed enough to get a bump start, if fired right up. New battery fixed me right up. (old one was the stocker that was 8 years old.) I think battery tenders hide the symptoms of an otherwise dying battery.

Feel free to take my spot. I'm not a total newb but I haven't done a lot of group rides.

That's a sweet looking set up right there. I want to do the Black Hills sometime. Wanted to this year but things didn't quite work out.
