Thank you everyone for advice and tips. I need to find a empty parking lot and practice braking. I seem to pull in the clutch everytime I panic brake. Gotta get rid of that habit.

Really appreciate all the input.

Now off to gettin the new forks :D

You get used to it - my bad habit is sometimes half front brakes, half clutch, & half throttle all at the same time in some corners  :o

Good. Just got the new carb in. Got the oil tank on and some of the wiring. This is the hard part because it's all little annoying things that don't look like much and then 3 hours have gone by. Right now I gotta "massage" the coil brackets on.

Awesome! I can't wait to see that beauty in motion!

That's right, kneel before Zod!

I appreciate the notes - it was just a lot of farm country roads for my tastes. Not really sure there is a particularly good way to get from NoVA to balmer.

You're preaching to the DC choir! Getting to north balmer SUXXXXX! I just slab it and get it over with. Good news is the ez-pass doesn't seem to read my transponder, tag or give me a ticket so I've been traveling free the last 3 or 4 times. [thumbsup]

Bad news, there is no "fun way" from DC to north Balmer. Just slab it and get it over with. Plenty of great roads once you get up there though.
Every time I meet a new group of your friends that understand you and your weird sense of humor I'm a little more amazed that there are other people in the world like you that lived through childhood - My loving girlfriend

I don't even carry my ez-pass on my bike anymore.  I just run every toll and let it look up my plate number.  I don't monitor my account that much but I think my account has been getting charged either.

Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Took the Guzzi on another test ride to Sears to get a hand-mixer. Came back and made oatmeal cookies! Yep, the rough and tough life of the motorcycle crowd. Not everyone is cut out for it.  ;)

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

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