I plan to ride Sunday.

Still here.

ahh, this is in the track section. Nevermind.

One of the fastest street riders I've ever seen ran 42R 38F. Tried it, didn't work for me. I run 36R 34R or 35R 33F depending on temps. Lots of people like to be around 30/30. Lots of different preferences on this.

Tough time of year to sell a bike.

That bike was once a theft recovery. The previous owner bought it as a salvage. He spent over a year doing lots of little custom stuff, powder coating, and got a very high end paint job. I had to do a little wiring to get it to pass inspection to get a rebuilt title. It sold for about $7k on eBay. A guy from New England drove here to get it. It was his first bike. I hope it still looks as nice. Hey, anyone want a leather jacket

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
