I forget where I read it, but it was said that normal street tires had about 80% of their dry grip on a wet surface. I figure that I can't ride my tires to 80% grip capability anyways... this may or may not be completely accurate

Is this because they require a very high RPM cleaning that they just don't get often on the street or what? If I looked at those pictures I would never have guessed that was a 3 year old bike motor..... but I haven't really spent much time looking at other examples either.

I should be there as long as I am sure someone else will be going at a moderate pace I wouldn't want to slow the group

wow that head/valves looks like it has grime on it from the 60's ..... damn something is definitely amiss

possibly in, as long as I have someone slow to ride with

You are welcome to ride my ZRX any time. They are supposed to be great for touring 2 up - plenty of power, reasonably sporty, and you can buy them pretty cheap. only thing I would change for long rides is a taller windscreen, nothing major

anyone play in Hudson or Kent State Trumbull?

My stupid battery won't hold a charge, I probably shouldn't get far from home with that problem.... I guess I will be shopping for a new battery tomorrow AM, don't know how early .... going out to Kent tonight with friends.

Does this make me a hooligan?

just got home from a short 20 mile ride a round town and such my god my hands are cold I need superior gloves asap

I play last summer I bought 5 disks I'm not that great but it's fun and we go to a park where it's free so it's a good time

I'm eating Easter dinner tomorrow afternoon but I'm hoping to ride some on Sunday. I'm not sure where, just waiting to see if anything develops I guess.

Sounds good.

you trying to make me jealous? it's working

that's a long trip from here

aight so is anyone riding tomorrow? I'm free til afternoon supposed to be low 50s

ya, I know.... but I might want to ride instead my family is having dinner on Saturday

anything going on?

I smell a little Bromance in the air. You two should get tickets to "I Love You, Man" and split a super sized popcorn.

anything going on this weekend? I have Easter dinner on Saturday (yes, Saturday) but otherwise free and hoping to do some riding got about 40 or 50 miles in today for the first riding day of my season

tl;dr :grin:

Saying that he could easily require double the customers to bring in the same revenue is not really an assumption, it's a very probable statement. I think saying that he needs double the customers is a very generous estimate, he could in fact need well more than that, depending on the average purchase of his consumer. It is very doubtful that the average purchase after viewing the images would be greater than the $30 mark though, in my opinion. That's of course just what it is, an opinion. As with your example, people could and would choose from his several options, but his median customer would still need to spend $30 or more for him not to require a doubling of his customer base. You are definitely correct though, the only way he will find out is through some experimentation. Perhaps someday we'll find out how it worked :

And ultimately, the bolded portion is all that matters. His decision. I'm not saying that you have done anything wrong at all, I'm just pondering the consequences

I don't think my argument has left out anything, to be honest. The questions for him to answer will be "did you double your number of customers?" "did they spend $30 or more on average?" if so, he wins by the change if not, he loses it's relatively simple
