We match, but I have the 2.7TT. I love the 36 gallon tank, but when fuel was ~$5/gallon I spent $175 filling it. That sort of sucked.

I have front row seats to that shitshow... ehrm, airshow.

12k service began today. Drained the crankcase and final drive. Waiting for my super magnetic uber drainplugs to arrive before I close and refill. Then comes spark plugs, air cleaner, fuel filter and valve gap inspection. So ready for a ride.

I wasn't trying to. I just was.

Jim is a legend only in his own mind.

Totes gonna splode, bruh.

I think the compromise of a new spyder to your retirement from servicing it satisfies all parties involved. Congrats.

And they haven't improved all that much.

How's the sausage?

Large group rides are overrated, but I definently enjoy rolling with the usual suspects that I know and trust. Crashing is never off the table, but it can be mitigated with competent riders. A failure I see more than anything is a lack of understanding between new riders and veteran riders on what constitutes a ride. While I firmly stake my flag in the soil of "personal accountability", some folks get in over their heads. The difference between riding a bike to work every day and riding a bike in the twisties is massive. It is not the same thing in the slightest to the average rider. I have a friend that has been riding for decades, but he commutes. When we hit the mountains he can't begin to stay on pace with the rest of us. He just doesn't have that skillset because it isn't how he rides. He can pilot a bike, but he has to do it at his own pace. Luckily, he's mature enough to recognize this and doesn't try to keep up. That plays a major role.. personal accountability and leaving ego at the house.

Yippee Ki-Yay...

To be fair, the previous generation was quite porky. Quality vs quantity. Just have to read between the chaos.

That's the only advertisement for Pitbull TRS that I ever need to see. Consider me a customer for life.

Registered. See you next season.

I am down if I am in town.

I should have been more specific. I am looking for an OEM bracket.

Thanks and blow me.

Any of you's guys know where I can source something like this?

Fuckin' Meter Maids. What you gonna' do?

Not on the Honda. That's a BMW feature.

Keenster checked in.

Yeah, I am sorry a few of us missed out, but 3-5 is sort of the sweet spot for "group rides". It was great being on the bike in this colorful season. I remember seeing more foliage on this ride than usual. Pace was quick but not reckless, minus the hot lap on <random road here>. Damn that RS is fun at speed.

Time to sell it.

Home. 330 miles. No rain. No drops. Only one cop.. well, two really.
