That's a negatoodle. I thought I might be able to pop out early, but I am still nicely behind schedule.

Actually had a pretty good turn out today. Quite a few SBKs made it. Dusty brought out the 999 with ARC Fab exhaust. Damn that thing sounded mean!

Hey the rain caught us too. Coming back from the North Shore the cloudbase was on the ground. Rain started around Schofield/Wheeler and stayed with us until just uphill from the interchange. Went to Varsity for burgers and beers and the rain caught up with us there. Got rained on all the way home.  |

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

Got rained on all the way home. Yep. Everyone on the H1 seemed to want to block the road and do no more than 30. |

Don't sweat it too much. You were riding with a bunch of semi-maniacs who know the roads by heart, who have years of riding under their belts and who are riding super road machines. Plus not everyone rides like that all the time.  |
