Paul benefited from the being around the seasoned riders (as did I). Now he is one and passes it on. Circle of life...Hakuna Matata...all that shit...

Didn't Paul show up once with his tire tread Armor All-ed

A joke, but it's true. I only have so many hours to be away. I try to squeeze in as many miles as possible. My last solo ride was about 450 miles. I was off the bike for 10-15 minutes total. Come to think of it, don't think I took my helmet off till I got home

This is a very nice cruiser style leather Joe Rocket jacket. JR doesn't make cruiser jackets anymore AFAIK. The leather is thick, soft, and in perfect condition. It could pass for brand new. Worn for maybe 10 minutes, then I sold my Bonneville America. It has a removeable insulated liner. Good ventalation: zipper vents on the back and under the sleeve, and small perforated panels at the gusset. MSRP was $399.99. Sell for $150. This has nothing to do with this post, but it's was a nice looking bike

This is probably worth another thread. You can do this on the street, but the group size would need to be controlled. From my perspective, 2 seasoned riders (lead and sweep) could probably handle 4 riders. Instruction could be iterative, adding new elements of technique as the ride goes on. --Line of sight --Head and shoulder position --Counter steering --etc.

An instructional ride is a really good idea.

No. I may ride the crappy local roads, but I can't get out for a long ride.

Someone signed me up? Who was it? I wasn't closely watching this thread. I didn't notice that I was suggested as a group leader. Sorry. Oh, an I would wear an M or L.

I got an 09 Gladius that was a Hepco Becker demo bike. It has hardbags and a bunch of other HB stuff. Ugliest or not it's a hoot to toss into corners, and I got it for a song. I know someone is wanting the SV. 3 bikes is over my limit

I got used to them.

Here are the details: 2003 SV1000S - 9,100 miles as of today. Never down or dropped. Runs excellent. Everything works. Cosmetically, I'd say 8.5-9/10, not perfect as there are a few stone chips, but it's a clean bike with absolutely no rash. Tank is nearly perfect. Ohio title is clean & clear. $4,200. Aftermarket parts: --LSL Superbike Bars - If you've never had one, these LSL kits are top quality and are good for all day comfort. I've done 500 miles in a day on it & could have kept going. --Dual Micron Exhuast - Sounds like a proper twin. Not overly loud. --Power Commander III USB w/the Micron map installed. Dual compound Bridgestone rear tire installed this week. Comes with: Stock triple clamp and clipons. NIB set of matching grips if you want to install the stock bars Steel braided front brake lines, never been installed Suzuki shop manual and owner's manual. Locally, I've had a couple offers to buy the LSL kit. So, if you don't want it the price could be adjusted if it is removed.

It's my favorite bike to date, I've have something like 20 streetbikes

************SOLD************** So, I was half-heartedly trying to sell the SV, then I impulsively bought yet another motorcycle. So, now it's for sale for real. 2003 SV1000S - 9,100 miles as of today. Never down or dropped. Runs excellent. Everything works.

Thanks. It's available and looking for work. And I almost forgot to mention the custom made super duty swingarm spools (previous owner worked in a machine shop).
