I guess a lot of folks around here would cash in their retirement based on Dr. Phil then. You’ve been around here longer than I have, but I’ve rode more than 1 epic ride where folks bailed based on the forecast. 2 hours ago, jacobhawkins said: Perfect weather = great riding and hanging with my friends. Crappy weather = talking about great riding and hanging with my friends. Neither of which involve work. Sounds like a perfect vacation to me. I don’t need perfect weather buddy, just decent. When I go on trips like this I’m all about riding. I don’t mind hanging out talking for a little while, but remember I’m a math teacher. Read-social skills are subpar. I struggle just sitting around too. I’ll give it another day and see what it looks like. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so there is no misunderstanding later if you bail, which I would totally understand, and the weather is nice I will be texting you pics of the weather, views, bikes, roads and so on.

I’ve also seen epic rides cancelled 36 hours beforehand due to the forecast and the weather was fine. All I can say is in a 5 day trip, we are almost guaranteed to get wet...but also will definitely get plenty of good riding in. The ratio matters and hopefully it’s much more of the latter. But I’m fairly sure it’s going to be a good trip no matter what. Edited June 3, 2019 by Blitz 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience this is true for the Deals Gap area. The popup storms typically aren't huge and with a little route planning you can mostly ride around them.

what Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Rain or shine I'll go out riding. My leathers have been swimming at the track, quite literally. Some big puddles to slide into when you crash in rain races The only thing that would keep me from riding would be torrential downpours, as my airbox is no longer an airbox and I'm not 100% sure of the water-resistance on the pod filter I have attached directly to the intake.

My friend Danimal, it seems like all you do when logging in from remote parts of the world is to post a genuine update about your trip and to just shit on everything I post or just generally poke fun of something silly. I don’t know what I have done to you and honestly at this point I don’t care. I am not perfect and I am just an average rider who probably doesn’t measure up to the globe trotting skills of yours.

NOONE is an exception. I bet if you search the term "thick skin" on O.R. you will find hundreds of entries that you have to have it to be on here.

Yes I been long enough here and literally met everyone in person as well. Possibly I am mostly The target rather than the guy dishing it out at a ratio of 95 to 5. Have you seen me call out any one in the last decade I been here. Sometimes you just perceive more negativity than fun. ESP When Multiple instances add up back to back. It just might be me, I felt it thought I would ask to clear the air if any, that’s all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever can guess what the blue text says on that front fender wins a prize. If you know from having seen the bike you are disqualified.

Prolly too excited and not sleeping and cranky. You guys missing the whole point, I don’t want to dish out or do tit for tat or anything, I am not offended by poking fun at typos and grammar etc, those are all inconsequential. I was Wondering if we were having some issues which I never realized. I was just starting to watch the last few days of posts and realized literally every post had some thing like this going on lol, anyways it’s my bad. I shouldn’t have reacted like that. Leave it. At least Packing over. Suspension adjusted for all the added weight. Almost as heavy as having a pillion lol Feel better now. Literally packed half the house onto the back of bike. Wish I could just think positive and confident that I don’t need certain things. Huge can of chain cleaner and QD and other crap, I dont know why I am packing it . Next phase of loosing control is when getting rained on 12 hours a day for the next 5 days straight 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) Well I can testify that dano ain’t nothing but a big ol buttery ball of love and means you 0 harm. He is literally one of the nicest, happiest and probably craziest dudes left on this desolate outpost of the internets. Speaking of weather, if you can get down here to my place on Wednesday night, I think we might be able to squeeze you onto the trailer. Any idea how long that yammer is? im guessing you are planning to ride down? Edited June 4, 2019 by max power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobhawkins Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 @NinjaDoc since you didn't like my last scowly picture, how about this one riding two up on the ass eating Grom? Thanks @DerekClouser for the pic. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
