I like Uncle Punk's & Whalers non-OCD approach. I have been getting 25,000 miles plus with Honda lube. Spray it on, wipe it off. Dont worry about the chain being warm or fuss with brushes or 2ndary lotions & potions.
Looks like yes. Maybe MT. I volunteered to take half the dozen or so that wanted a medium fast group. Helmut's going to have a pretty huge medium group by the looks of things.
Interesting clip Derek. Poor form & execution aside, did anybody else notice the massive buildup of oil in the center of the lane just before he went down? It looked to me that he turned right through the continuation of the oil buildup just before he went down. Just my $.02
Glad Pauly got the problem corrected. He's a good guy. Sorry you had the experience. If I would have known I would have had the bike back over at Pauly's before I put it up for sale.
Mike, When I got home today there was a Riders Discount Box with a new Joe Rocket textile jacket in it. Thanks for the great deal. I've got a perforated leather Hein Gericke jacket but I think that this textile Joe Rocket is going to be my new "everyday" wear.
I looked in my garage & there is no scooter. I would be tempted to follow along on what I've got just to see the expressions on the faces of all the Harley riders you gentlemen overtake.
You are pretty much on the grid system down there as I am up here. I grew up just SE of Dayton. A couple roads with some turns that I remember are Lower Bellbrook Rd. & Upper Bellbrook Rd. between Bellbrook & Xenia. Kentucky really isn't that far & the roads down there are a lot better.
I would suggest that anyone considering this ride (no matter what their age) should have passed the MSF course then hae 5,000 miles street riding experience. Back to subject. I'll see you folks in Lodi.
I am willing to lead a medium fast group (by the response so far there should be 2 medium fast groups). My group will add about 40 miles to the loop by nixing 821/339 & taking 260/26 instead. Any interest? Anyone willing to sweep?
I confess. I'm a chump. I went & tried on jackets at the dealer then turned around & bought one from Riders Discount at substantial savings the other day. My wife bought a motorcycle while we were at the dealer, so I don't feel so bad about being a chump.
