From: BryanUT on 2 Aug 2010 19:30 I haven't ridden for over a week in the middle of summer, I will regret it once the snow starts. It has been damn hot, plus we have a new dress code and I don't to get my new pants and shirt dirty. I guess I could cruise over to the liquor store on my sportbike with saddlebags and call it a tour. Or I could try and drag a knee and call it a hooligan, I can't pop a wheelie or pull a stoppie, so I can't say I was stunting. I am just an owner. Cruise: ride around town, bar hopping, a leisurely ride returning home or where you started Tour: a multi-day ride, go someplace 2 days away or more, return Everything else is just a ride. Perhaps fast, flaunting the law.

Perhaps fast, flaunting the law. what's hot by you? A few weeks ago was the hottest I ever rode in, 104F. It felt like a blowtorch on the highway and was the first time I ducked behind my 1/4 fairing to avoid warmth. It was so unpleasant that I almost turned around twice but I was hoping it would be cooler in the Catskill mountains (which it was) and reminded myself of how much worse the numbing cold can get. Ben

Check a few out and compare prices. > Or I could try and drag a knee and call > it a hooligan, ... Thats what roundabouts are for. I discovered this week that I'm not supposed to ride over them!! > I can't pop a wheelie or pull a stoppie, so I can't say > I was stunting. ... Time to learn?

Perhaps fast, flaunting the law. "Always", not "perhaps". :)

Liquor is obtainable only under the table from sutlers disguised as an itinerant dentists with mule-team-drawn Conestoga wagons. SQ |
