 Again, I'm glad you are ok and the gear worked out. Great thread idea, although I hope there aren't too many posts. If you need a hand while you are repairing the bike let me know, I'm just down the road.

Proficient Motorcycling is a great read. People take a lot for granted while driving and the book is written specifically for riding safe on the street giving the reader lots of tips for being safe and smart. It really is a must read, highly recommended.

Trashed gear...
Make sure you get your gear included in the quote from the adjuster.

Huge chunk of truck tire
I had a close encounter with a retread a few years ago under similar conditions and luckily I came out ok. The only physical damage was to my shifter, the tire sheared the knob off. It made me uncomfortable enough to decide to stop commuting to work on I-10 for a few years and I'm just now getting ready to start commuting again. I'm glad you are ok, heal up soon.

\/ That is exactly what happened to me, it was at night, after work, going to fast and following to closely.

Seriously, there is no shortage of activity on that runway (or in the area around it).

It came down to the sound of FREEDOM versus a bunch of old fucks who managed to get the county to illegally shut it down. Took a few years but they managed to get it overturned, though I think they have some significant noise restrictions on the track all the same.

I know this isn't the right thread for this, so I apologize. Who complains about the sound? As far as I can see its the dumpy golf course and the AFB. What else is on the north side of Camelback that would have people complaining? I don't know the area very well, I've only been here since May, Avondale for 12 years before that.
