    First fast group ride in Raleigh NC this past weekend. After many private messages in FB got to know about this “secret” ride and group. They keep to themselves due to many newbies coming and crashing etc, similar story to our side. I was warned and re warned multiple times  different folks that pace is hot and dangerous the usual story to our side. Some how I mustered up enough courage to jump right into a group of 10 strangers there.  I am basically a shy introvert guy and it was a huge mental exercise and accomplishment for me to walk up to group of strangers and say, hi I am a new uninvited guy wanting to join the group and  ride. 🙂 but well worth the effort and had an awesome day. 
     

    but the take home point I noticed is, our core group of people in OHIO is a bunch of crazy mofos on two wheels lol, I think we kinda lost the meter to measure pace. This group ride felt like a good solid fast medium pace at best. The fast ride pace sometimes we push back in Ohio seems ridiculous if that’s the case 😆 May be this will help me realign inbuilt accelerometer in the head. Few months here and be back to normal motorcyclist again. I remember after 2 yrs in Michigan almost felt like having to relearn riding as there were hardly any corners in that crappy flat land. Here at least there are few sweepers and clean roads and weather. Michigan has nothing..... absolutely nothing. 😑

    again be safe and ride safe fellas miss those twisty roads 🤙🏽

    Some of the awesome bikes that showed up there.

    Fast is relative.  There's always someone faster.  And there's always someone who thinks your medium is too fast :lol:

    The more the market news is negative and the pundits are crying, the more I want to buy into the market. I think I probably missed this opportunity because the fear mongering has started to subside.

    I was watching for the bottom, and pulled the trigger of a few that I believe will prove wise.

    There were other that will probably turn out great, but at time seemed too risky and I was skeert.

    i personally think it's going to crater soon, but that's ok, I'm going to live forever so i'm just gonna leave my shit in there and should be fine overall.

    I'm not expecting a crater, but there will be dips.  I'll be buying if it does crater.

    Meet Candy! She's perfect! With the exception that I was never a fan of the Nutron Silver she has always been perfect. There isn't any other bikes out there that I would trade her for at this time. A very rare opportunity to do a complete color swap came up with the color that has always caught my eye(Candy Diamond Red )I jumped on it. And it was a bargin! Sorry if y'all thought I got a new ride but if you go back to all my post not once did I say I was buying a new bike. Just said I was ready for a big change. Then I just trolled all y'alls imaginations. :lol:...here are the pic of the completed job I'll cover the transformation in another post..Can't wait to see her out in the sun where the pearl in the paint will shine....20200519_172457.thumb.jpg.b05b076ee77a7a573b3fc1f9616e215f.jpg

    Sure, but there is a trade off. The gap is pretty much all you get. It cannot outweigh the times you had the s3 over and back on the Cherohala. I call shenanigans. 

    Riding a grom to the top of the Cherohala would be... painful.

    The dd/mm/yyyy format is 99% downside wrt any sane way you'd want to sort it. 

    The sysadmins set our JIRA to have this as the default date format and they deserve to be on the same level of hell as the people that refuse to return shopping carts to the cart corral.

    YYYYMMDD

    Then you can sort by date in a text field.

  7. When I was riding 12-15k/year (for 15 years) of hardcore twisties, I was getting some serious nerve issues in my clutch hand.  It's not as bad now because I have less time to ride, but I still have nerve issues.

    Things like DCT and quick shifters will extend my riding career 👍
