It was at 7:42 am. I was doing 42 mph at 42rpms and the engine temp was 42°. I was ridding downhill and something clicked. Not physically, But deeper than that the bike just hit a harmonious note/rhythm so I took my hand off the bars and she kept rolling with NO engine braking at all. It was like cruse control kicked in.

Did you see any Vogon ships hanging in the sky in exactly the same way that bricks don't?

Ambient temperature going into the air intake was 42? That's what one of the censors is for. The other is coolant temperature. That one would never be at 42 degrees, except for right after startup...

i'm sensing the buzz in this thread is being killed by over thinking the moment

love the image rail!

I love those moments Avalaugh is right savor them. I love hitting a left hander decreasing radious with the motor just thumppin one constant hum know if you want to you could stay tucked into this mother all day long, smelling the warm asphalt and warm summer fresh cut grass. Looking through the turn seeing your bro out in front of you his machine not wavering one bit in the same tuck and slip as you. Man I can't wait glad you had one so early this year!!!!!!
