I don't think there is any such thing as "ad free" service anymore. Maybe limited ads but even amazon prime videos, disney+ and netflix are starting to sneak in ads at the beggining of the shows and movies now.

CL has been dead for a while. Most use FB marketplace now.

If you go to the track and hone your manual blipping skills you can become the best manual blipper ever and will never ever need or want any auto blipper on the streets. Then you can go on the interwebz and tell everyone how good your manual blipping skills are thanks to the track and they too can become a God of manual blipping.

How about the be winter oil for the track?

Well me and the Mrs. made up our minds and actually decided to knock a bucket list item off. We booked a 2 week cruise to Hawaii out of San Diego in January. That is on top of our Caribbean cruise in December and trip to Florida for Thanksgiving. That might get us through the winter months.

Just get the one that comes in the 5 quart 1 gallon jugs.

memorizationiziationization...fuck...must be the rum talking.

With all the track knowledge and faster, safer training/practice, you guys should be crash proof by now. Sorry I had no idea.

That's just it, I have very little competitive spirit when I'm on a bike. We have very different things we are looking for when we saddle up. I don't feel I need to be better or faster, not saying there isn't room for improvements just saying don't feel the need for it. When we sit in the hotel or by the camp fire at night having some drinks I like to have conversations about where we were and what we seen and where are we going next. And the added I'm glad your here to experience it with me. I can hang with some of the best when I want to but honestly I'm not out there railing it everywhere I go. What you guys do is no doubt fun(ive said that over and over), and puts huge smiles on faces and I know it would be enjoyable but the drive in me is and always will be be. "Where can I go next"

Yeah when you actually "racing" at the track that's a different beast all together.Even then I think you have basic respect of the other riders around you that got the same training and experiences in the same control environments. But usually you are not dealing with that just doing track days in general. Not trying to take anything away anyone just saying the comparison we do street vs track I dumb.

I can memorize turns also and keep riding the same ones over and over again and be 1000x beter at them in due time too. On the street you have to be able to adapt to ever changing conditions. And have to leave some talent on the table for those unexpected moments. Always scanning always on alert to the ever changing conditions,terrain and obstacles. The track you go out into a mostly controlled environment. Things seldom chage and all you have to do it hit your marks and improve your line and work on being faster. Two totally differnt skill sets in my option.

Selling my Tourmaster gear too but it's getting cleaned right now.

Joe Rocket Phoenix 5.0 Mesh Jacket. Great condition less than 2 years old. Smoke free home. Size Large Tall. O.R. price $70 + postage if not picked up. Im 6'4" 240 lbs and fits perfect. Probably one of my favorite jackets ever. Only selling because I upgraded to Klim with Goretex. And due to what I paid for (the Klim)I can't justify wearing another jacket sometimes. Selling at less than half the price of what you can buy a brand new one for.

I can honestly say there really isn't a bike out there that I'm lusting after right now. There are a few I think are cool or maybe one day might pursue. (Wing, Challenger, H2 SX, maybe a new Connie if Kawi ever retires the current one) But I'm too happy with what I have to even think of anything else as a replacement or to have a side chic. Kinda why I sold the Z1K so soon.

My newest pet peeves with the whole Cruiser culture is the stereos, they think they need stupid loud pipe then have to install even stupider louder stereos to hear it over their stupid pipes. Because they think everyone wants to hear their highway to hell album on repeat...all...fucking....day.

Factoid....H2R is a $55k motorcycle = not even in the same universe as anything else we are talking about.

Not sure why but that bike has never really impressed me. Kind of car engine stuffed into a bike so to speak.

Nice to see my old big heavy girl can hang with newer, lighter modern tech.

Well knew it wouldn't be too long before we seen a dyno chart and here it is with story attached. @Tonik https://www.cycleworld.com/how-much-power-does-2020-indian-challenger-make/?utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A+New+Content+(Feed)&utm_content=5dbaea3b08bbc500015c0fc6&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook

We have a Cruise just before Christmas and one in April booked. Looking to do something the end on January too because my wife will be off a couple weeks while they install a new Mammo machine at her work.
