Yea, gonna have to consider the source on this weather report.

Confirmation from the family. Its true, he is back. A little spacey at times but no big deal.

What did the KLR say to the GS? . . . . . I don't recall....

I've ran thousands of miles with a plugged tire(s). As long as it's not out towards the edge, it should be fine.

Dude I've always wanted you to stuff into me at every corner. It's been my dream.

I seriously considered purchasing a new BMW S1000R. I think it's a great bike, but the potential cost of ownership scared me away. Not sure if BMWs or Aprilias are more reliable, but BMW has a vastly superior dealer network. After owning 3 Buells (that had TERRIBLE dealer support from HD's dealer network), I really have no interest in owning anything like a KTM, MV, or Aprilia even though I really like some of their motorcycles. IMO, Ducati & BMW are borderline, but I would own another Triumph someday. With any of those brands I think it's wise to ride as many miles as possible while the motorcycle is still under warranty and let the dealer sort out any teething issues on the factory's dime. Having a second bike, preferably something Japanese, is also a smart move. I'm more of a riding enthusiast than a motorcycle enthusiast.

First time that me and the mrs. officially 2up on a bike. There was the one time when she was prego 18 years ago i ran her a half mile up the road total squid like. But tonight was the official first time. Did 215 miles to the Valley View Bike Night. It was a great feeling because just a year or more ago we were too heavy to do this, now there is 190 lbs gone between us it was possible. Think she fell asleep on the way home..lol

Long over due front fork rebuild with heavier springs from Race Tech, seals and oil, a sag set adjustment, new brake pads front and rear, front master cylinder rebuild and finally a fresh set of new Dunlop Roadsmart II's. Many thanks to @Isaac's Papa for all your help on everything but the Master Cylinder rebuild. I am now ready for my track day on Saturday. I can't wait. She's like brand new again and runs great!!!

Write to Dear Abby. She's likely to tell you you need a professional opinion.

Vape holster added.

....or depending on the day.

Same here. A properly installed plug should last the life of the tire. If it were to fail it would be a slow leak. I check my pressure before every ride anyway.

This could be good or bad, depending on the wife I guess.

That sounds more like a suspensions setup issue. Perhaps too much preload or compression is set too stiff.

Excuse me... you should stick to your track forums with your lingo. K THNX BAI

whats with fjr and rear tire nails better in your garage than in middle of no where on a 90 degree day

Repeating what Tonik said - Confirmation from the family last night. He is awake and talking. Also--- They are still not allowing visitors unfortunately.

Valentino Rossi plugs can be used 46 times!

Praise God and continued prayers for John and his family.

She just confirmed it, she did fall asleep..lol

The one that isn't broke.

You can only ride 1 bike at a time, why do you need 2 reliable ones. Just get the awesomest one.

sounds about right...for a TW200

For me there's usually lots of swearing and name calling and somewhat violent shaking of the wheel + caliper + axle until everything lines up.

Ah yes the government has another household to listen to at will.....

I grab the shovel from the corner of the garage. Put the blade under the tire, push down on the handle, and the wheel goes up.

I dont even run my Pirelli slicks that low

THIS. This is single handedly the number one cause for tire issues. Every time someone brings in a tire bitching about how it lasted or lost shape, I walk over and grab the tire gauge. I just checked a 2007 R1 the other day, it had 18 in the front, 21 in the rear...

Once saw a couple on a old 250 Rebel. Both of them had to be over 400 pounds...EACH! You could barely see a front wheel poking out. It was amazing!

QFT

I'll bet the new rebel 500 is a hell of a lot more fun than most cruisers. That little motor is surprisingly entertaining.

It's because I'm hosting an event this weekend... My uncanny ability to pick dates where it rains just far out does your ability to hold it off.

Well all restrictions removed and will be back to work Monday. Doc said I'm fastest recovery of any of the simular case patients she has ever had. She said usually its a 5 month recoveey time and I'm only at 3 months. I always tell doctors I'm a fast healer but they never believe me till after the fact. She also said im going to have stiffness and soreness for months if not another year but the chance of reinjury without another trauma is slim. Thanks again to all of you for helping me through this whole ordeal.

Im guessing the horse is available!!?

Changed 2 tires in 90 degree heat in a garage with no A/C. I sweat enough I thought I ran a 5k.

I was hoping it to be a non mach retard kind of day. A nice 10 to 15 over posted limits is perfect for me. Justin and i did that most of last week and it was a nice ride. Only time we wicked it up is when we passed cars or multiple cars. Not that I can't keep a mock retard Pace I would rather just not do it all day long that's where I get myself in trouble.

Get caught staring into Jim's bedroom window once and forever labeled a creep. This is bullshit.

F you you damn hippie. At least the cars are paying half. You ain't paying a damn thing with your bike you freeloading SOB.

Update from the Family --- John took a great step today. He is now breathing on his own. They've removed the ventilator and I believe they are starting to remove the sedation. They are not allowing visitors at this time as he needs a ton of rest. This is incredible step from when I was there on Saturday! He truly is a fighter! Keep fighting John!

It's all part of the ritual. This track day has been foretold for a thousand years.

He'll slow you back down eventually. Plenty of Nissan and Subaru' s out there that are all part of his evil plans.

He's going to need one of these... And one of these....

So your saying your sickness is contagious? Isn't there a pill for that doc?

See @Tonik he's pure evil. He manipulates us and turns us against each other. Acts like he wants to save your life one min then when you have his trust he tries to kill you. So I had no choice if I had invited you I might already be dead.

He's mach retard now, to fast for me. I'm just a slow guy on a old touring bike.

the FZ6 was a good reliable bike. and surprisingly not too bad on a track with some suspension tuning. this is ped a member here at mid-ohio on his 2006 FZ6.

Until now there were not many questions. I knew it was the right bike, just had to get it home. Worry not, I will be tapping your knowledge.

I know, I chowed on bacon and ribs (no sauce) when I was doing low carb and the weight came off. It's crazy. In the 80's it was FAT MAKES YOU FAT!!! STOP EATING FAT!!! So they took out the fat and replaced it with sugar and everyone got fat
