  1. BTW, the new meet spot is awesome, and allows for your longer route. Good job man.
  2. Screw 78. Nothing but a parade behind pickup trucks every damn time. https://goo.gl/maps/EdsqWy1U3ax

    Fall Gap Trip 2016

    31 days gang. Time to double check tires, brakes and so on. I am debating if I put on new front brakes before I leave, or do it in a hotel parking lot down there like I usually do.

  5. Weather looking pretty good. I still plan on riding down, leaving super early Thursday. Slab to C-Bus then down 62 and across the river at Ripley. Which sets you up for an awesome twisty run across 10/22. FYI, I am leaving Saturday morning. Have to come back and take our turn at watching Daves kids. Should I post up about how you are giving a talk Sunday and that everyone here can watch it live on YouTube? Or is that secret?
  6. This is the correct procedure whenever you deal with the LEO's. Don't make up shit, they are professional liar detectors. They do it all day every day, they are way better at it than you are.
  7. So with ABS you have to completely rethink emergency braking. For years you have trained your self to push the brakes and 'feel' the bike so you don't slide. You now do it without thinking, it is instinct. With ABS, in a panic/emergency stop that needs to change. You jam both of them on as hard as you can and let the computer take care of business. You will stop MUCH faster. So, if you didn't feel the ABS kick in, you were not stopping as fast as you could have. Obviously it worked out fine, but maybe next time it wont. Go out and practice. You will be amazed how much faster you can stop. In fact test it. Hit a speed and pick a marker on the side of the road and do your usual instinct stop. Then go back and do it my way.

    Jesus I would think you of all people could get a doctor's note that you are sick and need rest for a few days.

    You trailer-ed your bike far further than you road it that day. That is just plain fucked up.

    Another option is to skip Saturday with us and go straight to Johnson City. Looks like 6 hours, could go down 23/52 so it isn't all slab. There is a lot of nice roads around Pikesville so you could mix it up and make it a day.

    Don't tell @ScubaCinci he will get pissed that it was so easy.
  15. Yea, that was my group. We were the only group to use that stop, cuz we are 'different'.

    I think @CBBaron is still looking for a roommate if you are able to make it.
  18. Triumph wasn't ours, I didn't see it but he is hurt bad. Home. Thanks Derek, was a great route and well planned. Had a blast as usual running down with you. Kudo's to my group. Best group evar. Well spaced, you were always back there where you should be when I looked, everyone having a blast and being safe. Awesome signals from my sweep. Brian, you sir are a saint. My last jar of Apple Pie Moonshine is yours.
  19. He was bitching about it via text the other day too.
