Flint Ironstag posted:Great weather today. Please tell me someone got in some good riding. I got in two good rides. Typical Sunday for me when not going on a group ride. Get as many chores done as possible. This includes multiple trips to the grocery store. Not one place has everything, and the Duke 390 can only carry so much. I'm seriously thinking of getting a set of blaze saddle bags for it. I've just about reduced my truck usage to once or twice a week.

Except for really bad weather, or exceptionally loaded down trips, my Accord just sits around, bored. Anybody off tomorrow? I need to do a fun ride, and am looking for an interesting route.

It's supposed to be hot and humid tomorrow, with a fair to decent chance of rain. If anyone wants to swap lies and watch MotoGP, let me know. I have the online subscription and a grill. Supply your own beer though, I don't drink alcohol.

Once again, forecast is supposed to be 93 with a 60% - 70% chance of rain. Austrian GP is going this weekend. If you've gt nothing better to do, roll on over around 11am. Bring your own beer, I'll supply the brats.

If any of you ride in the Flower Mound/Lewisville area, FM3040 specifically, during the evening commute, be sure to wave to a guy on a giant green & bling Harley. He scoffed at me, but, since we we both at the front of the next light, I went nuts with my waving while in the next lane at the red. "Hi!!!! How are you?!? Why won't you wave back?!?" while waving like a moron. He seemed a bit, um, confused and just stared straight ahead, with side glances at the crazy man on the red ZX. I accidentally deleted the vid before I could upload it to Youtube, oops.

Asking here first. Does anyone want a KTM/RedBull PitCrew shirt? Because of wacky Euro/Japanese sizing I new to "try it out" so I bought and XXL and an XXXL. While I'm not skinny, I'm not huge either and generally XXL stuff fits a touch roomy. The XXXL shirt drat near feels like a fitted shirt. Hell the Suzuki one I have in XXL is roomier.

Kuffs, let me know when you have time or send me a text, I have new tires for the KTM and need to get them swapped out. Let me know what the beer tax is and I'll wander by.

I'm out of town, but the herd of dirtbikes in Kuffs' garage the last time I was there, seems like he might be able to get a use out of it. Z3n posted:Ahahahaha bring the noise you won’t be mad at all. That's the plan, unfortunately the dealer is telling me I won't see it until February. I'll be using it to replace the Bandit 1250 I used as a sports tourer.

No yamaha, no ktm, no ducati, and only a little pop up tent space for triumph. About half the space for the little vendor booths. This year is a bit of a bust. Suzuki, Kawasaki, Harley, Indian, Royal Enfield, BMW, Honda, and MV Agusta. Nothing new for suzuki, the 400 kawasaki was cool but weirdly prproportioned. MV had a drag 800 that was cool looking. The Harley fat bob was cool but i put my feet on the passenger pegs. If the controls were there i would like it better. Got to talk with Kevin Schwantz. Saw a very abbreviated stunt show. It's a solid pass this year unless you have something really specific you would like to see. Skreemer fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Feb 3, 2018 |

Had I known Kevin Schwantz was going to be there, I would have taken the day off of work and brought down my old Arai Signet Schwantz replica helmet I wore for several years to see if he would autograph it. Shuddap, I'm old.

Flint Ironstag posted:(Slow response is slow, sorry.) I've had 4 surgeries on my knees before I was out of high school... I say the same thing about them. And drat this fickle weather. The ride in tonight was poo poo as the road had that, it's wet and slick from a 10 - 15 minute drizzle thing going on. Just enough dampness to bring the oil and crud to the surface.

And there goes the dream of owning the s1000xr. Had an engineer come to the house yesterday afternoon to find out that the middle of the house is falling in and I need about 10K in work done to get the foundation put back into order. Oh the joys of home ownership.

I love that little KTM Duke 390 to death, but that rear tire is a freaking nail/whatever magnet. This will be the 4th rear tire I've had on the bike.
