I'm still commuting 16 miles of freeway each way but only a couple times a week lately. Up until a couple of weeks ago it was every day. On a 1 to 10 scale of fun I'd give commuting by bike a 2 & commuting by car a 1. I'm just getting too lazy to put in all those layers every morning.

Glad it was only a close call Nivin.

The new zx10Rs are pretty sweet. I don't have any Kawasaki experience but I went from an 03 CBR600RR to an 08 CBR1000RR in 08 & I have absolutely no regrets. If you're going to spend the majority of your time on the track get the 636. If you're going to spend the majority of your time on the street get the 1000. You'll appreciate the extra torque.

Nice Cannondale. I've still got a Cannondale criterium road bike that I bought new in 1989. It's been refurbed with Dura-Ace components & new paint & I'm not planning on getting rid of it anytime soon.

You are determined Nivin. I think I took my last spirited ride of the season last Sunday when it was 67 & sunny.
-
Obviously a case of mistaken identity.
-
No thanks. Looks better than the standard Goldwing though. A wee bit too porky for my taste. At 842 lbs curb weight it weighs about double what I like.

Fiesta Jalepeno's in N. Ridgeville is pretty much the real deal. Also, if you are a boozer Lupe' (the owner) will usually pour you some free shots if you eat in the bar.

Did I see your group yesterday headed south on 206 almost to 715? If so, I was the lone rider on the little red monster headed north.

You sure are wound pretty tight. Lighten up a bit & you'll have more fun on here. Just a suggestion.
-
You guys are trying to get me in trouble. I already told my wife I would help her do some stuff this weekend. Have a great ride.

If the accuweather forcast ends up being correct for next weekend it will be 61 on Saturday & 64 on Sunday with sunshine on both days.

The cleanest line in freshly dispersed gravel (ie: from a vehicle exiting onto an intersecting gravel drive then spinning the tires & throwing gravel all over the corner just before you happen by) will sometimes dump you on your ass. I know.

I've got a couple crooked ribs thanks to 536. A more apt name for that road is "The Gravel Pit".
-
I've never had anybody ask me why before. I really they wouldn't even understand the what. Most seem to think I ride for fresh air & scenery. I don't challenge their misconceptions.

Explain to him what a squid is & why they are the laughing stock of the motorcycling community. A 17 year old with a bad attitude on a busa is definitely going to be a squid. Nobody likes to be laughing stock.
-
I concur. I am about halfway through my first set on the litrebike at 2300 miles. I find them to be very predictable. I like them better than the Michelin Power Pures I had last.
-
The only riding I can do today is commute home from work.
-
Speedvision's coverage of motorcycle racing left a bit to be desired anyway. I love the way the most important pass in the race would usually occur during one of their numerous commercial breaks & when they came back they would only tell you about it, not show you.

As they say in Cleveland; "There's always next year".

Leisurely is good.

I was last on 555 August & these folks speak the truth. Most of it is utter crap. Lots of ball bearing style gravel in the corners. There are many other better choices. (78,83,377 etc, etc). If you have to ride 555 don't say we didn't warn you.
-
Sorry you crashed. Glad you are ok. Hope to see you on future rides (with some new tires).
-
Glad you are ok. I learned to beware of the cold the hard way too.
