A little overdue in updating...
Rode last weekend... Met up with a friend of a friend to go on a group ride with some locals... We left balls early, got some breakfast, then spent a couple hours gathering up everyone for the ride.
Group ranged from a girl who has less than three weeks experience, to a couple track day junkies. The ride was pretty uneventful. The roads... well, they had some turns, which is I guess all you can ask for here in FL.
A couple of the guys drank a couple beers throughout the trip, while at the gas station stops... I made sure those jokers were in front of me at all times... I tend to be a backmarker on all group rides anyway. Everyone rode safe, but the alcohol-bike mix just doesn't jive with me. I will NOT be riding with these guys again. Pity, cause the one guy had a gnarley TLS... bronze wheels AND bronze colored Yosh pipes... forest green paint, no fairing. Tough.
I am pretty sure that all of my fork oil has leaked from my left fork. Front end dive is pretty bad and the bike was pretty unstable when I started to push the pace through some turns. Commuting it's fine, but if I'm going to do some real riding, it needs seals ASAP.
