New lower coolant hose and casting showed up yesterday. Going to install tonight and winterize the bike.

I'm out of sick days as well..... I already used two of them to do other Mid-O days this year

I'm out of vacation days........blah

Ate too many endless fries at Red Robin for lunch. Not sure if i want to take a nap or throw up.

First trip to the Metroparks with my wife. We've been doing laps in the development and thought it was time to get out. Also first time with two bikes up top. Never tested out the other bike rack since i got them off craigslist. We did a quick 10 mile ride averaging 15mph. She was pooped at the end but a good first ride. Hoping to get a few more in with her before the year is out. She's working, in school for her masters and precepting so doesn't leave much time to get out before it gets dark.

Wife got it done when she was 18. She's 32 now and no real issues. Night driving sometimes bothers her but not often. I think she's at 20/30 now and may need a revision at some point but overall way worth it.

I shipped a Daytona 675 from New Mexico with U-Ship. It was around $600 i think (was three years ago). But everything went flawless on my end. The guy picking up the bike was like 6 hours late so that sucked for the seller.

He's also lucky he didn't blow a tire out riding on the shoulders.

Some days i wish food came in pill form. I just don't feel like eating anything today.

Late to the party but i got the Rexing w/GPS from amazon and like it so far. It's pretty discreet behind the rearview mirror. I really like it cause it still has a screen but doesn't hand down like so many of the other ones. You can watch the video on the screen but the text/MPH is very small; I can barely read it. The software that comes with it is really nice. It will place your video in a overlay with google maps and speed/time. It says its 1080 but license plates can be hard to read if the lighting isn't great. Overall i am happy with the purchase for the price. TL:DR - Rexing w/GPS from Amazon for $129.99. Happy with it.

I check it about 4 times a day at work and once or twice at home. Mostly a lurker. I'm more addicted to searchtempest/autotrader looking at cars i can't afford.

Nope. Was up at Put-In-Bay this weekend. Starting to get dark early for twilights anymore. My season might be done for the year.

What group were you puttering around in on Wed? I'd like to see some footage of myself one of these days, get some of your guys opinions and see where i can pick up some time. I seem to be stuck in the high 40's. But i think it's just now down to needing more track time.

That's great to hear. Heal up quick. Any concussion symptoms? Looks like you took a good shot to the head.

No help here. I'm going to the track on my 9th anniversary Thursday. Hopefully i'm still married when i get home. But we took a trip to Niagara Falls couple weeks ago and went to a fancy steak dinner place for our anniversary dinner. The steakhouse overlooked the falls at night so it was neat. So we kind of already celebrated it. We might go out for a nice dinner this weekend as well.

I'm going this Thursday as in 9/1/2016. And i was #7 to sign up. Nothing about a garage. And also next Wednesday for the PTR day.

Signed up for thursday. I'm #7 in I so its going to be a great open track day. Also signed up for the appreciation day next week. Woot!

I'm just happy she's trying it. I'll still ride on my own to get the miles in. I just want to quickly get to the point of riding longer than it takes to pack up the bikes and driving. Hopefully the weather stays nice late into the season.

Picked up a used Specialized Dolce for the wife over the weekend. She hasn't rode a bike since she was a child. Did a short 4 mile ride through the neighborhood last night and she seemed to enjoy it. Hoping it won't take her too long to get some stamina built up.

I picked the 675 when i started riding (after my 250) cause no one had them. All you saw was gixxers and ninjas. When i started tracking 4 years ago, i could only spot maybe one other 675 on the grid. Now you can't walk 10 feet without tripping over one. But i still wouldn't have any other bike. I love the wide torque band and the triple howl.

True but if i don't use the money for a 50/50 shot Sunday, I can go to Mid-O next week! Weather is looking great at the moment for all of next week. (Which i will be preregistering for this time)

Sunday's weather just went to shit. Looks like i'll have to wait until next year to ride the new half. :Sad Trombone:
