Forecast here looks spectacular.... anyone got any great routes planned this weekend?
I am still without rearsets. I may just go buy some replacement pegs and a shift lever and get back out there.

Today is the nicest day I'm going to have. My bike is over at my friends house where I parked it when the thunderstorm warnings hit last night. Might go over there, break in, and bust it out though.

No, no, it's not; but still better than what I will be doing. We both will be doing something that benefits bikers though.
Since it's already up to 80 in Vegas, we'll be neighborhood/parking lot sluts.

I'm sure we'll take a ride tomorrow. If nothing else we'll take some back roads over to a town not too far away and check out an "Open House" a dealership is having with free dyno's...free food...demo rides...a bike wash and the "RideNow Girls"...whatever that is. :lol: At least it's bike related. :idk:
They sell Yamaha...Honda...Kawasaki...Suzuki and Victory.
Googled "RideNow Girls" and got this...

It depends on how I feel, but the motard is in the garage taunting me. Even if I still feel like crap I'll probably put a few miles on her this weekend.
i have tomorrow off so hopefully if it doesnt rain. im looking forward to doing some night cruising now that my new control box for the eight bajillion led's my bike came with is installed.

Supposed to be decent here. If the clowns have my tires in yet, I'll spend the morning getting them on. Otherwise, I plan to ride the hell out of my already worn out tires.

More good news is that I talked to my neighbor who had a 97 gsxr 750 that sold it to one of his friends. I guess the friend is scared of the bike and doesn't really want it that much. So while I was talking to him, he called his friend who has it now, and said that I would be interested in trading my bike and some cash for his. Hopefully I will be able to get the 750 for my 02 buell blast and about 1000 bucks. I would be ecstatic.

500. single cylinder. Started bike hardcore style. Put about 2K miles on it since I got it the middle of last summer. I'll definitely have to take it slow if i get the 750.

I'm 210 pounds but only 5'8". I was 195 until I got to college last august. Next week me and another guy are going to go on a no sweets/soda/anything sugar diet, start running and working out, and quit smoking to try to lose our beer guts. Oh yeah, we are going to stop drinking in the middle of the week too. That's mostly for grades though.

Seventy-two degrees yesterday. I took the bike out twice. Once to go to the store and again for some mountain carving. There were bikes everywhere.
Cruisers outnumbered sportbikes by 2:1. Most riders on sportbikes wore helmets, but hardly any of the cruiser riders had them on. Have they never went down or expect to go down? Actually, most of the cruisers were parked in downtown Golden, at the base of Lookout Mountain.
It snowed last night and they expect a rain/snow mix today. But I got 80 miles in yesterday.

It was insanely windy yesterday on the way home. So bad that I was afraid to park my bike and walk away for fear of it being blown over.

Sadly, lows still in the low 20's, so it's a COLD morning ride.

Wasn't the best weather, but I was fine. She was quite cold, on the other hand... a little out of her natural environment :lol:
