  1. I made the best of the crap weather I was dealt for my weekend, and rode 502 miles of West Virginia (and Maryland!) mountain roads. Only got about 30 minutes worth of rain the entire day.
  2. I’ve heard so much praise for the DCT. I see it’s selling point and it has its place, but it wasn’t for me yet. My local dealer has a tour DCT leftover for right around $20k, as well as a manual.
  3. Worked only a 8 hour day at work so I had some time this afternoon for a quick ride. Bike path was very crowded.
  4. It’s tempting. I never thought I would enjoy the bike path this much, I first was thinking mountain bike but now I’m thinking road bike.
  5. So that’s why I was asking, on my hybrid I was in top gear and had no issues pedaling, so I felt like I was out of gear.
  6. I was using the MapMyRide app on my phone.
  7. Went out and rode with my fiancé, brother, and sister in law. They did 15 miles and I rode 22 miles. So the last 7 miles, I rode by myself. What is an average speed for flat paved bike path? My ride tracking app said I averaged 14mph for the final 7 miles.
  8. Hmm, I never noticed that when I had it.
  9. When I owned the MT, I was getting upper 20s lower 30s. I’d get gas every 100 miles but when I rode it to the gap I stretched it to 140.
  10. It’s pretty bad. My biggest complaint of the MT honestly. Amazing bike but it’s thirsty.
  11. I looked at my bike in the garage while i went to work. I then proceeded to see bikes riding past my work all day...Damn I wish I didn’t work today, it was so nice out.
  12. I’m really enjoying riding the bicycle. Got a quick 10 mile spin yesterday morning, then took the motorcycle out for a ride as well. Ended up ditching the Fiancé’s Walmart bike and bought her a Giant Sedona. She is much better at pedaling up the hills now.
  13. Columbus hospitals are at record low numbers right now. My fiancée has been put on call the majority of her days scheduled to work. I’ve been out riding when I can, but the weather and my work schedule are cooperating.
  14. I’m sorry to see you go Nivin, it was always a joy to hang out with you at the rides. NC is a great state, and I’m sure you will enjoy it.
  15. Rode around 270 or so miles yesterday. 78 from Glouster to Woodsfield, 800, 26 to Marietta, 676, 792, 266, 377, 550, 690, then back home. I really haven’t rode the wing at my “quick pace” and yesterday I finally got to ring it’s neck for several hours one up and see what it could do. I’m impressed to say the least, I was running the same pace as if I was on the FJR.
  16. Setup mounts in my garage to get the bikes out of the way more.
  17. Got my first ride in yesterday. 18 miles and I was beat. Never dreamed a head wind made that much difference. I’m sore today, but I guess that’s that’s part of adjusting to something new. I know I can’t wait to go out and ride again.
  18. I bought a bicycle! I know it’s nothing compared to the bikes you guys got, but I haven’t owned a bike since I was a kid. My fiancé and I decided to buy cheap Walmart bikes, see how much we ride, then if we see we’re enjoying it, we will buy more quality bicycles. I got a 700c hybrid and she got a cruiser.
  19. Heck I hardly even check craigslist anymore due to the huge decrease in listings. Facebook Marketplace is definitely taking a majority of that.
  20. First off, us peasants won’t ever be classy enough for the high society of the BMW GS world
