    Scotch or Bourbon?

    Been on a bourbon kick for the last year or so but before that it was Scotch and I still enjoy Scotch.  Specifically Glenfiddich, MacAllan, the Speysides mostly.  Balvenie Double Wood is great.  Bourbons I like are Elijah Craig, Woodford Double Oak, Stagg Jr., Blantons, Eagle Rare, Buffalo...

    Major Cager !

    Buddy of mine has a Tesla S.... it's a rocket. He turned off the traction control just for grits and shins and the thing lit 'em up instantly. No RPM lag... instant pure power. With TC on it takes off like it's getting catapulted, the acceleration is amazing to feel.

    Yeah, it was 37 degrees yesterday morning down here! Complete insanity.

    Went hiking Sunday with the Son and his girlfreind

    I actually miss the two brothers cans that I had on my 08... with the baffles on they were still louder than stock but the deep throaty sound of them when you were WOT was really nice. I'm looking forward to hearing what El Toro Joe's new pipes sound like.

    Dumped my bike this morning...

    I had Canyon Cages on my 2016. I touched the right side front cage on US 129 and it freaked me out a bit. Hard parts acting as levers and all. I'll admit I was really far over before it touched though. I put sliders on my 2017 but do have the rear bag guards on order.

    Dumped my bike this morning...

    The two things that ended up totaling my 2016 were the front forks being bent and the dents in the exhaust. Those items alone were as much as all the cosmetic stuff that was banged up.

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    Went for a nice ride today for a few hours. It was a bit windy and chilly though. I had to turn on my hand warmers to level two! That 65 degree chill in the air was brutal... after I got home I hopped in the sauna to warm up. ;-)

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    Well, the wife figured since it was raining it was a good day for us to go to the mall and spend hours there...

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    Never even lost power. Some small trees pushed over in the area, lots of wind and rain. We're absolutely fine. My thoughts are with the folks who got hit harder and those who are still feeling the storm.

    Stay safe Tony. I'm right down the road if you need anything. You're going to get it harder than I am.

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    All buttoned up and waiting for the show. Hope it's just an action movie and not a tragedy. My kids asked if we might see any alligators flying thru the air like cows in Twister. I told them anythings possible.

    (Split) Shifting when bike is stopped

    I've had no problems whatsoever with shifting... loving the new transmission.

    Tank Bags

    Touches at full lock... I have never had any interference when riding whatsoever. It's a really great bag. Not too big, not too small, just right. For me anyway. and I just LOVE the tanklock experience. So easy and smooth... no more scrapes or awkwardness trying to get magnets off to refuel.

    Tank Bags

    Not sure which model this actually is... but here's a couple of pics. Edit: Might be an older version of Givi XS307 Tanklock Tankbag

    Tank Bags

    Good question... I will have to check when I get home. I've had it for quite some time now. It's not large... Enough for phone, water bottle, hat, chargers and wiring, tylenol, ear plugs, knife, flashlight, band aids, etc.

    What do you call a cheap circumcision? A rip off.
