Now that's a result!

I have just finished a long week, I'm gonna book a lieu day to get back some of the hours, but not as good as 2 free days off!

I got pulled over this morning by a trooper, he wanted to know why I moved "so fast to overtake a semi truck". In which I explained due to traffic conditions I was pined in next to the truck and had rocks ect thrown at me, also I fear having a blown retreaded tire take my head off. At the first moment I had a gap I moved into a better lane position. I think he let me off with a warning because he just wanted to check to see if I had a motorcycle DL. And I wasnt speeding, no ticket from a state trooper, unheard of. I shook his hand and said thanks. Sweet

If the weather's good enough I will spend some of the time scrubbing in the new tyres being fitted to my bike tomorrow

Ah a good excuse for a long ride out, I always find myself very wary of new tyres and take it very easy at first.

I hope the weekend is dry too as I've got to service the car and would like to get out for a ride myself....

What cheered me up today? Nothing as I am at work for 12 hours...

However Wednesday was not so bad as I Had a custom map done for my PC111... Now 168.5... Up from a rather disapointing 157.6

2008 with full Akro and PC111

Still better than being out of work for 12 hours and having no 2008 Blade with full Akro and PCIII.....

Perhaps this is true? But also cirtainly not as good as being out of work for 12 hours while still having a 2008 Blade with full Akro and PCIII

I agree completely, and should my 6 numbers come up tonight that will be the sort of arrangement I would opt for!

LoopyLee · 07-25-2009, 9:02 AM

I'm all happy today as the weather is lovely... but..... my bikes in the shop having her tyres and that fitted so I can't ride her

reeseyboy · 07-25-2009, 10:00 AM

I'm happy because I've just struck a deal with my local dealer for a new CB1000R! I've never had a NEW bike before; woo hoo!

LoopyLee · 07-25-2009, 10:32 AM

Cool bike, you'll have to let us know what you think of it.

Schultzy929 · 07-26-2009, 4:45 PM

Cant wait to go on a ride in the redwoods. The best corners ever!!

flipsidenv · 07-27-2009, 9:18 PM

Listening to the little devil on my shoulder and opening up the throttle on the 954 for no reason except to make peoples heads turn. Just makes me

.

BigBassTurd · 08-10-2009, 4:12 PM

Was able to get out yesterday and hit the twisties for about 3 hours. Road from escondido out San Pasqual to Santa Ysabel, then out around Lake Henshaw and La jolla Indian Reservation. And Finished up on Lake Wolford road. The Bt-016's handled great and finally got rid of the little 1/4" chicken strip that was making bwack..bwack..bwack noises everytime I looked at them.

(I still have those....

WyoJames · 08-10-2009, 4:53 PM

I'm cheered up because my bike is finally out of the shop and I'm leaving to go pick it up. With being 4 hours away from my usual shop with mechanics I know and trust, I took my bike to a shop in my hometown to replace fork seals and put new racetech springs in (present to myself

) and they have had the bike for 5 DAYS!

Sweet, was looking at one of those at GT Motorcycles the other day, they look really really nice!

Seeing a picture of an elephant in a hole (what can i say i thought it was funny

)

LoopyLee · 08-11-2009, 1:25 PM

It didn't rain at all

Destructo · 08-16-2009, 3:39 PM

Had an excellent ride out today, rode like my @rse was on fire, stopped for a breakfast bap and a brew, and had a good laugh with my mates.

Days like this make the rest of the crap all worthwhile....

setanta · 08-17-2009, 12:49 PM

News that my friend is out of Hostipal and back home for now and things looking good
