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.

@B-Mac, we are heading down 277/550 to Marietta if we aren't in McConnelsville when you get here.

..and I will do it on the inside line, too.

Fine. I will lead. We can discuss your weaponized incompetence over McNuggets another day. I will be leading to Mc'ville. After that anyone else can take point. You're welcome to lead us to Marietta.

Just added Blitz to the roster. We will pick him up at the Marathon in New Concord at 10:15.

Keenster is meeting us in Bolivar.

Passenger pegs deleted and rear hugger added. Yeah, they're vanity mods. So what?
