... nope. Nevermind.

Yes. The DTC was in full-effect and showed our hosts at Buddy's a great deal of disrespect. It should have been embarrassing, but I don't think any of them are intellectually deep enough to comprehend how their actions could have been so misconstrued by all the other patrons and the business management.

Technically speaking.... no Oxford Comma, so you could argue "a hot tub and tequila" are one item.

The only people I see quitting are Trump's cabinet members. Am I missing some hidden gem in this dumpster fire?

Throwing money in a well.. wishing you had more money...? Also, Brisith Columbia is beautiful and imported Asians are assholes. I have never been surrounded by a larger collection of rude fucks in my life.

You could always post a ride.

Trumpers are fascinating. Holding onto your political roots is fine. I get that. But not holding him accountable for anything is just incredible.

If I am in town, I will be there. Isaac may be with me.

Damn, Tim. You really need a vacation. Everything sets you off these days.

I prefer Scamsoil, but in the clearance-priced summer blend... "Sweet Cream"

I pay $400 a year to insure 4 bikes.

Does it turn the clutch into a centrifugal actuation unit?

Relax, big guy. Sun's getting real low.

Someone got triggered.

I used my Sena system in my Arai and linked with Danimal on a WV trip. It was a neat experience and made the ride more enjoyable, but I am not sure it wasn't the novelty of the day that made it neat. I like chatting with Dan about whatever is needling his noodle at the time, but most of you are too goddamn boring to even deal with..let alone humor all day long. No thanks.

Coincidentally, same here.

I am not anti-comm. I am anti-not being alone in my helmet. On a big trip? Maybe. On a 300 mile cannonball run? Not interested. Besides, if I do make a poor decision and smack into the side of a truck, nobody wants to hear me die in their helmet. Except Jinu, but he has weird fetishes.

The track is for punks.

"Blagh!!! I'M USING MOBILE, FAGGOT!!"

Nah.. just a little excitable. I think it was the matching helmets. You didn't miss it. You blatantly skipped it.

Talk about gimmicks... wow.

If you aren't willing to pass in corners on 250, then you just aren't going to get anywhere. The entire road is a corner. That said, all of my passes were well within the reasonable limits of illegal passing...if that even comes close to sounding sane. The last one was bad, but it wasn't terrible. I was more ashamed of scaring the drivers than I was afraid for my safety. I got excited and made a bad call. I corrected my behavior and went back to appropriately passing like an adult should. The only real OSM was on WV-7. We were getting down and I rounded a right hand bend that straightened just as a tractor/trailer was being escorted across the road to a parking area on the other side. I laid into the front brakes and the bike stopped right now. Traction control and ABS are legit as fuck. I am a believer as of that incident. The "Safety Pack" saved my Bologna.

I carried Motorex cleaner and Motul paste in my bag for a while. That became tedious. Now I just use Maxima Chain Wax. I don't clean it so much anymore, as I found the Multistrada would eat chain and sprockets every 15k no matter what I did. I try to spray the chain when I get in from a day of riding. Seems to be working so far.

My Schuberth has Sena built in, but I use it for navigation and tunes..and sparingly. I do not communicate with other riders via electronics. I find that to be a distraction. Everyone I ride with is going the same direction I am and usually at the same pace. If I need to talk to someone, it can wait until the next stop. Plus, I spend time working shit out in my helmet. Rides are literal therapy for me. Nobody needs to hear what I have to say.

I am always apprehensive about posting rides, but the last two have gone really well. I hope to see that trend continue and this forum start building momentum. To answer your mileage question... we just got down to the business of hauling ass. I passed more vehicles today than I probably have in one day around these parts...most of which happened leaned over in a corner. The Hyper is agile and fast, which lends itself to making space where space normally doesn't exist. I started to get greedy towards the end of my ride and, after a pass that I should have waited for, I decided to dial it back a click before I got into trouble. I knew I blew it as I started to roll on the throttle, but it was too late to change my mind and I gave it everything to slip back into my lane. It was a dumb mistake that I was fortunate enough to forgive myself for and carry on. I had zero expectations for today. I just wanted to get out and enjoy the opportunity to ride. I had not intended on moving as fast as we were, but everything felt right and you guys didn't seem to mind the pace. I got to know this bike pretty well on my WV trip with @Tpoppa and @Blitz. I am just running on the same mojo I found that weekend. I know all three of you can ride faster than I can. I appreciate you allowing me to take point and just route on the fly. I wish you had stayed with us, Nivin..but I understand why you were anxious. It was the first ride for me with @durk and I sure hope it wasn't the last. I had a great time with you guys and we should do it again before it gets too cold. Nice to know we can hit WV and back in a matter of hours. @Skinny guy, always a pleasure to hang out with you. I will catch you all another time.
