I enjoyed both the MotoGP and Moto2 races alot! Jorge looked great, and I was glad to see Big Ben get his first podium. The Moto2 racing is just out of this world though, alot like the Daytona Sportbike class at the AMA level. A LOT more competitive. And I doubt you'll see anyone as a sub on...

O-P, yer belief is correct, that's a black rat snake. He's kinda skinny though.....you need to feed him better!

I decided to try a Sargent after about 4K on the stock seat. It is a good bit better but not perfect IMHO; and everything above is correct. I especially noticed the levelling of the seat, and with the dished contour it really seemed to throw my riding position to the back of the seat. It felt...

Here's my unimaginative use of the stock mounting hardware included with Garmin Zumo 450/550. I didn't really think I'd like it there, but it's kinda grown on me over time. Cheap too!

Duck, I might offer you this seemingly reasonable piece of advice based on manufacturers "explanation" as to why the Gen II IS fails. Check the farkling of the early Gen IIs in question to ascertain whether there may be electronic "overload" farkling. IMO, the closer to stock the bikes your...

The tire combination Jeff mentions above has become a "cult classic" here in the SE where twisties rule. To put it bluntly, these tires stick like glue in the corners! YMMV but I run 39/42psi as recommended in the OM, but may drop each a pound or so if I'm feelin' particularly racy! I ride...

Yessir, I have a pair of Cortech Scarab Winter gloves. They by themselves give me comfort down into the upper 40's, but my hands get cold real easy. I'll have to try the silk liner thing. The fit/finish is good as is to be expected from Cortech, but they're definitely winter gloves as you...

GREAT! WUNNERFULL! Thx a lot A-B.... Yet another reason it sux to be unemployed!

I put a G2 throttle tube on my `08. Throttle abruptness is somewhat reduced, but not cured completely in my experience.

Glad you could appreciate the "inside" humor in the scene Troy...after all, you jes look so serene there soaking in the grandeur of the immense valley scenery unfolding in front of you and all you can think at the time is.....DAYUM, that hill is steep!! :lol: :lol:

Thanks everybody! I appreciate all the kind words/feedback....it was a lot of fun to put together; but the ridin' was the most fun part!! Yer on MartyA, taking for granted of course that we all survive another year and make it to EOM `10.....Good Lord willin'!

What to look for??? .....the nearest twisty road by God!!

Well then I now know at least 2 unemployed Steves! Sounds like a conspiracy to me!! :angry: Sorry Bros, I know it sucks the big one... I've been off since mid-April and am kinda running out of "putter around the house" kinda stuff to do.....sorry, I'm not much help other than moral support.

Yuck, yuck, yuck! Now if they could just get their AMA team up to snuff.....sigh.

I dunno Jeff, that "shotgun shack" looked pretty inviting to me what w/all the rain and all! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
