Dude, you were in Suitland.  What do you expect?

As I was leaving work this afternoon, a gentleman in a Corvette decided to see how the acceleration of his Vette compared to my 696.  In second gear, I dropped him like a bad habit.  

Please note, I did not break any speed limits, no burn outs, and nothing illegal while doing this.  Thank you.

Rode out to Mt Solon for the Shenny 500, had the front blow out on me while doing ~70 on 66, loads of fun! Lots of nice people stopped to help / check on me :-)

Yipes! Guess it wasn't a catastrophic ker-blam tire exploder blue out and you were able to limp off.

Good to hear there's still some nice folks out

Did it sort out the front end issues?

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Total control 1 in the bag along with Sigix. Apparently if I'd been on a shorter bike I'd have knees down - bit of a trip at 20 mph.

Was about worried for one guy being out on the roads. Not a natural rider for sure. But hey he's in class so he's doing it right.

Level 1 was a bit basic during the morning portion but level 2 should provide quite a challenge I think

Took the SS out to go for a ride.
Found I needed to tighten my chain (embarrassingly loose).
Did that and saw that I should lube it (rust is not a lubricant).
Did that and thought I should check the oil. It was low.
Topped it off and realized my plate was expired!
Renewed my reg on line.
Went for a ride (late) and got some some fine Nahwlins' cuisine.

So in short, I ate a shrimp po'boy for lunch!
