I busted my ass to get back on 2 wheels last year after neck/nerve issues. Life got me again just when I wasn't expecting it. I'll make it back in time for next season, and I'll ride to the gap next year. So...anyone want to buy a V Star?

I'm not sweating the surgery at all, but this recovery is going to suck. 6 weeks in an elbow brace, followed by at least 2 months of rehab. It won't be 100% for 6-8 months.

That's what the surgeon said. I hurt it a few weeks ago exercising, but thought it was fine. Then again and it popped badly. It wasn't terribly painful, but the sound was unmistakable

Torn distal bicep Surgery in a couple weeks. I've had surgery before, but apparently this one has a long recovery... FML.

I'm here for the gang bang.

You needed gloves.

I've worked from home for nearly all of the last 15 years

Not sure, but I think the recommended interval on those is 4k.

So I noticed when you pass a cruiser when you're on a cruiser there's a decent chance they'll try to speed up keep up with you.

I've heard Wolfie's has good food. Never been there though.

I'd rather slam my fingers in a car door.

Yes. Very curvy and remote. It was in pretty good condition.

This is the best part of the faster group. I learned from a group with a very similar mindset when I first got into serious street riding.

I choose to only ride with level headed riders. So, I guess that's my clique. Much of the time it's level headed fast riders. Sometimes it's other level header riders, some of them working on on technique or what not. When someone starts spouting off a bunch of dumb shit, however, I tend to think there is something trying to be proven. It makes me think they probably aren't a level headed rider. So, in that case they probably aren't in my "clique."

Also changed the oil on the VFR.

New front brakes on the VFR. Oil change on the V Star. Yes, already. It's 9:15.

Saturdays are tough for me to get out.

I've done quite a few trips that were "nomadic." I prefer this to 1 location. How many miles per day are you thinking?

Maybe

Not on all of them. For some it's 15k, some are less. I think 1500cc and bigger have hydraulic lifters, so no valve adjustment. Same on the Suzuki C90s. I considered those but decided against them due to weight.

When looking at cruisers I was disappointed to find how short the valve adjustment intervals are on some of them. Yamaha V Star 650 is only 4000 miles isn't an R1 26k or something like that Some Suzukis are 7,500 miles VTX = 8000 miles At least the Vstar 950 is 16,000 miles...another reason I went with that one.

I've upgraded.

I just lost 130lbs. At least that's what she said she weighed
