His pace through the corners was quick enough to surprise me. I led down 44/542/39 and he mentioned he would like to go a little faster. I said he could lead on the way back, but to watch his entry speed and make sure to not ride faster than his eyesight can see. He zoomed along about 60mph and I only saw his brake light a couple times as he set up for the tighter corners. His lines need work, but they weren't terrible. He never had to readjust once he nosed into the turn, but he did run a little wide on a couple. He stayed in his lane, though. He needs some track time. That is my next project.

Fuck your downvote. Show me $3k and I will listen to your lowballing ass.

Fine. If someone from CL buys it, I will raise rhe price by one dollar.

I have something similar in mind. The CL ad is the discounted price. It was listed at $4k.

It isn't the inline that leaves me wanting. That little 600 is no slouch, especially at 10k rpm. Also, the brakes on that little bike are seriously adept. Soul? No, it has none. Character? I think it has a bit. VFRs are nice bikes. I especially like the sound of gear-driven cams and v-4 powerplants. However, I want a more touring-based platform. I tried to love it, but I am what I am. I am a snob. It is a fine little machine, though. If it weren't as quick as it is, I would save it for Isaac.

Not bored. Quite the contrary. It is a great bike. I just want something more refined. I guess I spent too much time on Ducatis.

I don't know if they're still in business. I sped past there a week ago and looked like the diner was closed and some club took over the shack.

Riverview Diner in Fly, at the bottom of 800, is good food.

In case anyone cares... the Smokehouse in Highlands, NC is a bust. The service is ok and the staff friendly (and attractive), but the food is not very good. The brisket was dry and I had to pour sauce on it just to make it edible. I did not finish what I ordered. The fried okra was good, as the mac and cheese. Good lemonade.

Watch ye don't catch the scurvy.

No time. Too many roads. Dirt can wait until I get home.

Nope. I had planned to, but decided to ride the Whale today to give me a nice half-dozen days of riding im the rain. Now both are dirty.

Home. Five days of rain, wet roads, glitchy throttle and soggy balls. Just over 1800 miles of that shit. I had a really fun time and am glad I went. Not sarcasm. Will expound on my experience later. Too tired and at the moment I have lasagna to eat.
