They call it HD (make sure to click the HD button), I call it acceptable. You'll notice at the beginning the wind blast was enough to actually rotate the lens on the camera  :o



25 minutes of hooning.
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

Weather forecast looks pretty good for Sunday (at the moment).
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.

Your going to have the Daytona's suspension tweaked on Saturday, right?

That's what I'm hoping. The manual has settings for a rider with passenger, so I figure that out to equal one of me since I like  [popcorn] and  [bacon] washed down with  [drink].

You scooting it over there for me?

Hey Steve, what time are we starting this?

We're better off setting sag by measuring the bike unweighted, and then again with you on it.  I'll dig around through my stuff and see if I can't find my notes from when we set my old one up...  If not, I'll consult the Mack.

That's true, but I figure the compression and rebound settings ought to be a good place to start...feels like the rear is not too far off...the front is a little squishable right now. I'm gonna try to hit harwood on the way home tomorrow depending on traffic and see what it feels like out there.

We can probably get you pretty close on the rebound by eye.  The compression will be a bit more subjective, and will require a bit of seat time to get it dialed in right.  Regardless, make sure you bring all your gear, as we'll want you fully kitted up if we're going to take measurements to get the sag right.

10:30? Later?

Weather for this weekend doesn't look so bad any more - matter of fact it looks pretty good!

Is it just you, Ben and Massimo?

I'm out this weekend, the girlfriend is in Dulles for a training class for two weeks and Sunday is her only day off.

1030 is good for me. Just the 4 of us so far as I know. GP is at a conference this weekend so she won't be able to grace us with her presence.

I have a regular tape measure, not the thin kind, but it should work.

I'll have to look for painter's tape. Why the tape?

Got some from Ikea ;D
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.
