I'd be in less pain riding twisty roads instead of sitting like a statue for 1000 miles on straight roads. OUCH. I get cramped so fast on long straight rides...they suck. My knees start throbbing. If I'm in turns it's not as bad. Going straight you get bored and start thinking too much and you notice the pain as well.
I'm at work with no speakers, but curious what this has to do with Aprilia's? Top speed went to 272 this year too. Bottom vid dude was riding WAY over his head. Had to have freaked out mid turn looked like and stood it up after looking off into the grass instead of the intended line that he was using on the opposite side of the road.
He's doing good last he told me. He moved over your way early this year to Columbus for a job. He gets on here about once every few months though. He's been working a lot. I don't think he rides much anymore but is a Mercedes and Mustang guy now. He was suppose to ride down for the Dayton May 30th ride but never did.
I hope knodel, a member here, finally got a new one this year. He's in upper 20's and has had the same helmet since 16!! Over 10years old! I was shocked when he told me. Dude can fuggin ride and is a sponsored flat track racer, but needs a new helmet.
Wha...wha....WHAT!!?? You haven't rode your motocycle yet this year?? I love riding too much to do something as crazy as that. I gave you my number before. If you ever want to ride you can hit me up anytime.
