what

Passed quite a few bikes on 161 headed out towards Port Washington. Spent the afternoon breaking in the new suit and making my tires cry at the kart track over there with @jacobhawkins and @kbrok

what year is it

Yes anywhere other than the dragon on the grom wouldn't be great, although I'm fairly certain it can get up to 70mph or so if I swap back to slightly taller gearing. I'll likely be bringing the R1 down this year for any longer day rides, although admittedly I'm less enthusiastic about pushing on the street these days. I certainly wouldn't push on the R1.

It would be tough for anything other than a supermoto to be more fun in tight twisties

From your personal collection? Also, we confirmed last year that a stock grom on the dragon sucks bad. Gotta have a built motor and be geared really short. Dumping stock foot pegs for actual rearsets for increased lean angle is recommended.

went slow fast

the grom is a lot more fun at the dragon than a 1000

Repaired some carbon fiber with help from @jacobhawkins

Yeah NCM just cancelled. RIP

I lived in Savannah for 4 years and never knew Roebling existed. I did know about the abandoned track on the island in the river though.

ok bye

I've been sitting around for 7 weeks, I was in the gym 3 or 4 times a week for months prior to this. I lost a LOT of muscle. The good news is, after a day on the minis at the track my riding muscles are building back up. A few more days at the track and I'll be good, especially after NCM, that R1 is going to give me some real muscles 💪

I don't agree with most of what you said, but you're right that this is killing the economy and things need to get started. If you read what I said you will see I did not say we need to continue this lockdown. The state needs to open back up but people need to do so in a way that mitigates the risk for the most vulnerable. Herd immunity is likely the goal agreed upon by the powers that be behind closed doors, they just don't want to say that and cause panic. This lockdown was to keep the healthcare system from getting overloaded - goal achieved for now. Time to ease things back into open.

@CJ74U2NV A downvote with no explanation? Do tell.

Any of you hosers sign up for NCM in 2 weeks?

Like anything else, there's a lot of misinformation going around and we'll probably start seeing some weird stuff pop up in the news about inflated numbers, hospitals/news agencies faking stories about how dire their situations are, etc. This isn't a hoax, no matter what people say, but it's also not the end of the world. If you do start going back out into everyday life, do it the smart way and take care of yourself. I'm on day 53 of still having symptoms off and on, and it sucks. I can see how this could kill somebody quickly if it turned south. If you have underlying conditions or are near someone that does in everyday life, take this seriously. It's unfortunate that I feel I have to say this 2 months down the road, but that mistrust of information is something I put squarely on mainstream media's shoulders.

Not as fast as a grom. Source: the diavel that crashed in front of me at the gap last year trying to go faster because a grom was outpacing him

Going to be at NCM on 5-23/24. Hopefully.

Makes more power and will run forever now. Harley should really take a look at this.

The crossplane is a thirsty engine. I think my R1 was getting about 23mpg cruising at 75 in 6th gear on the highway. I expect about half that at the track.

So what @NinjaDoc is trying to say is get covid BEFORE you crash so you don't catch it in the hospital? Roger. Heading out to find a toilet seat to lick right now. 👍

Woolich Racing Racetools added to the R1 which includes auto blip, launch control, pit speed limiter and auto warm-up feature Brake pads and fluid changed out Captive spacers added -1 front sprocket added Shameless plug time - If anyone needs tuning or *any* work done, check out https://turn13motorsports.com/. The owners are good guys, do great work and really know their stuff.

Was great riding with you Nivin. Wish you and your family all the best with your move - hopefully it's to someplace with better riding weather and some great roads

I want the macaronies out of my lungs now. It has been nearly 40 days since initial symptoms and I'm still coughing 😐
