I might actually be able to make this one. As long as the wife doesn't change her mind between now and then (its her day off). |

Man, wish I could make it tomorrow. I know my arm will be too soar in the morning though. Got bumped for some reason at my physical therapy appt. Friday, so now I have to wait two more weeks to get started. 
Thinking about riding to Paradise in the afternoon to see if I can get a Neck Gator though. Printed out the coupon, now hopefully they have some left.
Have fun everyone!! |

That figures. Promotion goes through April 15 and now I have to go to a dealer hours away if I still want one. Bet they'll be all over eBay in no time though. |

THAT WAS WAY COOL!!! Thanks a ton Paul! While we were on the second half of that doc wong ride today something "clicked" for the first time and all the sudden I felt like so much control had been gained, like I said at wankers i just needed to drop my elbows down to realize the gain in responsiveness, I was testing it all the way home, at one point without even realizing it(until it came back down) i had the front end of the ground (not a ton) while on the exit of a turn and road it out for quite a ways, it just felt oh so right....
...thanks again Paul, i look forward to many more clinics, in time i think we, as a club, could potentially put together our own clinic for the buell club and other enthusiasts, maybe something else to offer Latus, we could use their conference room for the discussion and then come up with our own route? sh&t, lets just write our own book while we are at it! |

Glad you guys enjoyed...
To be honest, I think Andy was quite distracted by all the new comers (Turned out the Port. Road Runners showed up in FORCE, and it was by far the biggest grop I'd seen to date.) Thank God none of the "riding for two monthers" or the chick on the scooter tied the route!
I myself felt SLOPPY! I've got a lot to work on... The route was sloppy, dirty and wet, so pace was a bit off as well. Try again next month and i'll bet it's an even better experiance!
As far as the B group... Hmmm The A group only had two riders this month, one is a PSSR instructor and the other races for Moto Corse... I'd have LOVED to see them ride! |

Well Crap! I always knew that there was reason to listen to the Doc. But I'd be damned if I can follow directions.
So now I have this to show for it.

So Now I need to find a Primary Cover and Clutch lever. Until then Misty sits on her stands awaiting service.
Oh and,
replace:
left hand grip
left mirror.
Thank you Paul for the help. We must of looked like a couple of Gorillas on a tricycle. |

Well, it was very stupid on my part. Slight downgrade towards a turn with gravel in half of the lane. Instead of cutting the corner I for some reason swung wide (target fixation). Seeing that I was going to go right through the gravel I applied my front brakes to avoid hitting it at too high of a speed and for some reason never let off the brake. As soon as I hit the gravel my bike washed out from underneath me.
No bodily damage other then feeling Stupid. I was probably going around 20 mph when I actually went down.
Called to price a primary Cover and gasket - $235.85
Clutch lever approx $37 linkage if damaged is another $37
Hand Grip $16
Mirror $13
New pucks if I don't want to be reminded of the mishap - $47 |

Oh man, that sucks!
I barely nicked my primary cover so i didn't even have to mess with it. At least you are not having to spend any money repairing your body. (and $47 to help sooth the ego isn't bad  )
My bet is that Misty comes back looking hotter than ever. |
