  1. I would suggest concrete, not blacktop, for a place that you will be parking regularly.
  2. Today was the third time I've been on it since the chip n seal job. It sux. I had a lot more confidence on it today, it's a bit unnerving not knowing if there's gravel in a turn, or if that's just the surface, but I managed pretty well. I almost had a Kawi Kid episode on 206, and then not a half mile further, I almost got spooked by some gravel in a curve. I rode through it, and made myself look up to keep from fixating on it. A couple good experiences to learn from.
  3. I haven't messed with it, so that's the default ~30 sec. When live tracking is on, I think it's 5 secs. So far, the 30 sec interval has been pretty good. If I wanted to track speed better, a closer interval would help, but that's not so important for me right now. Also, I'm not so sure I like having the speed transmitted, even though I like to know that.
  4. Today and last Sunday, I got out for a ride and thought I'd share the route that I took. http://ridewithgps.com/trips/121498 Summary of the route: I left here and took some back roads to SR 3, just outside of Mt. Vernon. I went through Mt. Vernon, and back out on 36. 36 to 62 East. 62 to 206 South. 206 to 715 East. 715 to 36 West to 79 South. 79 South, all the way in to Newark, then refueled, and headed home via 657 to county roads back home. Most of the roads were not straight, which kept it from being boring, but there was nothing uber intense, making it a relaxing ride. I'm sure that picking up the pace a bit would change that, but I wasn't looking to wear myself out. There were LOT's of bikes out today! Everyone must be trying to get all the riding time in that they can before the cold sets in! Also, a shout out to whoever posted up about the Instamapper website, phone app, and JCMathis for turning me on to ridewithgps.com. I never thought I would want to track my rides, but now I really like it! I just need to remember to start the tracking when I leave the house, not 12 miles into the ride!
  5. I was just through there today.
  6. Should have posted up an hour or so earlier! I headed out from here around 2:00, just got back about 20 minutes or so ago. Ride report upcoming.
  7. I don't seem to have this problem. I'm wondering if it's something with that generation of VFR? Looks like something to ask around on VFRworld about, if I ever get one.
  8. Time's have certainly changed! Kids a a LOT more bold about this stuff than ever before.
  9. MT got this one right! I use gmail for almost everything. No hotmail, or yahoo mail. Gmail can be used with outlook, or any other pop/imap email client.
  10. Prayers will be going up for you, Ben. I'm out guys, unless I can get out and meet at lunch or something, and that's very questionable. Too bad soccer season is ending when riding season is winding down!
  11. Nice looking bike, BTW. GLWS!
  12. I don't ride bitch. No N2B for me.
  13. The article with the video tells it all. The guy was drinking whiskey, known for being violent and jealous, girlfriend was with another guy (they pointed out the other guy was black, I don't see the relevance) and it all played out like a white trash fight gone bad. Glad to see the LEO make the right decisions.
  14. I knew it! You're thinking about buying that for me, as a gift, since I'm your "fan"!!!
  15. You being in front of him doesn't make you the winner. Jussayin'.
  16. I haz no moniez. Can you hold off until I get some please?
