  1. Maybe. Pending ex gf cooperating with the kids.
  2. Will I have to fashion another grill out of rocks and oven parts?
  3. After trying many gel gloves that didn't help at all with numbness. I tried these: http://www.bikebandit.com/aftermarket-parts/motorcycle-control-and-brake/grips-universal/grab-on-motorcycle-grip-covers These helped prevent numbness quite a bit. The only downside is it makes the grip a bit larger. Felt weird at first, but I like now that I'm used to them.
  4. Vibration does't bother me. I get numbness form pressure in certain spots. The foam grip covers help a lot.
  5. After trying many...I think anti vibe gel gloves are useless. Foam grip covers work much better...and cost less, too.
  6. You sure about that? That's contrary to most of what I've read about ST tires. ST tires are designed to run cooler than sport or track tires. They're also designed to have lots grip at those lower temps.
  7. On my lightweight CBR600RR, I ran them at 32f/35r On the VFR12, I run higher pressure. 36f/40r (I ran the non A spec rear at 42)
  8. I am running an A Spec rear right now. Mounted it up a week or two ago. I really couldn't tell a difference other that maybe a stiffer sidewall. They claim it is an extra ply. My bike is 640 wet weight, so i figured I should try the A Spec. My VFR12 is right around 600lbs. I run an A spec rear and a regular front. When I bought it it had a new set of regular GTs mounted. I run the A spec with 2 less psi and it feels pretty much the same to me...ymmv
  9. I actually liked the pr3 better than the pr4... they're both good though.
  10. I'm on my 4th set of Angel GTs. Never seen them cup. I run the front at 36psi on the VFR .
  11. Are the C14s known for eating tires? I'll get over 6k out of the Angel GT on my VFR1200. Vfr isn't quite as heavy, but has a bit more HP...iirc
  12. Well if someone brought it. I'd probably buy it.
  13. Cruiser tires...lol
  14. I just had to get an iPhone SE for work. Bring it to the ride on Saturday.
  15. I just got a set of Pirelli Angel GT A specs (190 & 120) for $282 with a $40 rebate so $242. Best deal I've seen on those in a while
  16. I had them on my CBR. Just put them on the VFR.
  17. Maybe I'll change my screen name to "Gin" and make a point to hang out with Tonik the whole time we're at the Gap . He'll be so happy. You ready Jim? Gin and Tonik?!?!?!?!?!?!?
  18. I'm suddenly interested now that this group is closed. It seems kinda exclusive With 8-10 riders you are already going to split apart in the twisty bits due to traffic and people choosing to ride different paces. Just make it official and have a group A/B with 2 group leaders. Everyone can reassemble for gas stops & meals and on the slab
