Work has picked up for me, so I know I've been around less. But it does seem slower.

Big ride yesterday, but did do a couple of south canyon runs this morning (on that dreaded plugged tire  laughingdp)

For the record, mine isn't square, it's more like a V, but thats a whole different thread.

Over the years, I've noticed cycles of traffic - as the weather gets worse, chatter goes down. People aren't riding as much, so don't have as many questions about modding or fixings

My local club had it's "depressed after season party tonight"  chug drink drink drink drink

It's too early to have the itch. It's time to relax. (I'm still riding, but that's just me on my own)

Give us a couple of weeks/ a month and "everyone" will be on their way with mod plans waytogo


, but, yes, it's kind of slow. I suppose the US economy isn't helping much either bang head

forget this modding stuff, if i keep doing this i'm going to go broke soon.

afterall just had the 18k service done and got new belts, tires, etc. needless to say it was a good sized bill but it runs smooth and the new steering head bearing the thing practically turns when you think about it.

and asked the mechanic and was told it seems like the 848 dry clutch conversion may fit on my monster so i have to possibly save up for that and consider if i want it done. 

There is absolutely no logical reason why i would want to change out a perfectly good wet clutch for a dry clutch.  Stupid idea? of course it is, huge waste of money? who are we kidding of course it is.  am i going to think about this for the next 3 months while i save up some money and try to justify why i should get a noisy dry clutch on an otherwise perfectly running bike? .. no doubt, i can finally have the bike i wanted in the beginning.
