    9/18 Ride to SEO

    We passed 2 groups of FJR-ish bikes. One at the very bottom of 26, and one near the intersection of 26 & 260. Either of those you?
  2. 10 maybe? They are mens 8/Euro 42.
  3. I got another pair of boots. I don't need these any longer. Teknic Violator Boots sz 8. These give good protection and have a good adjustments for fit. Can be worn above or below the pants. They are in good used condition. Buckles and zippers are in good shape. The toe sliders have a few slides on them, but that makes them look badass There is a waterporoof and non-waterproof version of these. Mine are waterproof. MSRP is $299, you can find them on ebay for $179. $60 firm, prefer pickup.

    Aside from the formentioned incident, it was a good day to ride. We had a total of 9 riders. A bit chilly in the AM, but not too bad. Clean roads, light traffic, and no cops. I finished around 470 miles for day.

    I was leading at the time, so I couldn't see what happened. We went back and took a look at that turn. I was a left hand decreasing radius curve and the road a little off-cambered. Kind of tricky to read. Sucks, but the bike didn't look too bad, and you weren't hurt. All things considered, it could have been a lot worse.

    I see 50s for the morning. When we get to the good roads it will be in the 70s. By then who cares.

    There's probably only a few good weekends left in the season. You have all winter to not ride. I rode for a few hours last night. Temps weren't an issue.

    McConnelsville will be a gas stop and photo op by the river. Hoepfully, everyone fills up there so we are all on the same cycle for gas stops.

    83/93 instersect in Otsego, which is a tiny nothing town. It will take us about 30 minutes to make it from Millersburg to Otsego. If anyone wants to meet at this spot, be there by 9:45.

    Will you be showing up on Sunday? I still haven't seen the MS other than pictures with deer residue.

    The forecast is looking really good for Sunday. This reminded me of something. There will be some seasoned, quick riders on this ride. If anyone is working on trying to get smoother/quicker through the corners...ask questions at the meet spot or at gas stops. Experienced riders are generally willing to talk body position, or let you follow their line for a few miles. Lot's riding knowledge out there, that's how I learned...
  17. I had one. Fanstastic motor, crappy suspension. A CBRF3 shock will fit and improve the handling. I happen to still have an F3 shock and a 919 service manual if you get a 919.

  19. http://www.prweb.com/releases/harley-davidson/burn-lawsuit/prweb8701137.htm The complaint alleges that since 1999, Twin Cam 88, 96, 103 and 110 cubic inch engines in Harley motorcycles produce severe, excessive heat causing clothing to catch on fire, burn injuries and the danger of burn injury to riders and passengers as well as overheating causing premature engine wear and in models manufactured after 2006, transmission failure. Although Harley Davidson asked the Eastern District of California court to throw out the claims under state law, the U.S. District Judge sided with the bikers.
