Ive lost 11lbs since the Monday after the gap trip. 6 of that was regain from the previous weeks and the other 5 is new weight loss. I'm now down 55lbs since Feb14th.

Maybe not scientifically but I swear it works for me. Not going to argue the point, maybe its mental or a psychological thing but from past routines I swear I lost more where I was exerting it. So for now ill live in the bliss of ignorance ...LOL And it definitely muscle just hope I didn't pull or strain it. Ill take a couple days off of that area and see how it feels.

I haven't had any slippage, mostly not any better wear for the premium price vs. cheaper alternative.

Okay this may seem like a dumb question but honestly I don't know. I am totally on a weight loss Journey right now not looking to bulk up any quite yet. But I've been doing some targeting of area muscles around the fattiest parts of my body for example my stomach and chest to lean out that area. Been doing a lot of crunches and sit-ups also using some free weights and working on the areas around my chest. Not so much my chest but my stomach muscles are sore as fuck. Been doing 3 or 4 sets of 20 crunches or sit ups on a inclined bench every other day for a little over a week. Is the muscle soreness a good thing to keep pushing or should I give it a few days to recover before I continue to do more. Just don't want to do too much too hard and be counterproductive just looking to burn fat not build bulk.

You and your snake oil

Think we're about done talking about tires.....now on to oil.

You would be correct, the only thing I was worried about ordering them what they would have an old date code on them. But I got them today and they were manufactured in March of 2016. So I'm a happy camper

Found a pic of her wearing it last year in the fall,sticking her tongue out at me because she hates having her picture taken. LOL

$80 O.R Price Well as some of you know me and my wife have lost a lot of weight and she can no longer wear this. It is a Joe Rocket Cleo 2.2 Mesh Jacket, Wine color in a Diva2 size. (compare to a 2xl to 3lx size) This will fit a range of plus sizes because of the corset style adjustments in the back. Bought it at the beginning of last year riding season and has very little use due to my wife is only a occasional rider. (maybe 1000 miles total on the road). Brand new they are over $160, ill sell for half that, $80. Color looks brighter in person just crappy lighting in the pics.

My last t30 with about 3300 miles on it. Stuck like glue but wore perfectly even all the way across. And the price of them kinda makes up for the wear.

T30' S are stickiest touring tires I've ever ran on my bike. They are super soft on the edges.023s are supposed to be good too just a little harder compound but not much harder. If you want softer that that go with Q3s or Powers but you'll eat the center's alive with a heavy bike.

Last PP I ran on my TL lasted one trip.1800 miles . ..lol

That keeps getting pushed back. it was supposed to be this year .

That's how I roll 80% of the time, so yea I can judge my usual wear. Just found a sweet deal on BT023's, non GT spec but they are $160 delivered after rebate for the set. Don't think I can go wrong at all.

Probably just jump back to the T30s, they wear even and stick like glue, yea I wasn't getting the mileage but for the cost they are probably the better deal still.

Yea a few on the trip felt the featherig and cupping of mine too. First and last set of pr4 's I'll run too.

Apple Valley? You talking the other side of mount Vernon? Hope your not planning on riding inside apple valley that wouldn't be fun at all. Houses, houses and more houses, and the road condition usually sucks. But 205, 514, 520, 60, 541, 206, 715 and parts of 62 are always fun. Those are my local loop routes.

Well, had a little set back and gained bout 6 lbs over 2 weekends with the Gap tip and a weekend with the wife. But I have rebounded from that and back to 249. I want to drop the next 9 lbs before Thanksgiving and 19 lbs by Jan. 7th. That might be a tall order with the holidays but I'm always up for a challenge. Brought the recumbent bike out of the bedroom and stuck it right in front of my recliner in the living room, plus I'm on 12 hour shifts at work probe for the next month that should help too. BTW, my wife is down 90 lbs., she lost 45 pre surgery between Feb and Aug, and has lost 45lbs post surgery since the end of Aug. She's doing real well with it, but her body is still adjusting to the change. She has no regrets on doing it and looks fucking wonderful.

I hauled my C14 to Colorado with JStump's a couple years ago. it was I tropper keeping 80mph on the freeway.

It was $30 too

Today is not going to be pleasant at all. Getting old sucks.

Nice hat @Danimal..... :lol:
