Don't sweat it. DESMO Q's 120db+ exhaust will make harmonics irrelevant...it goes to eleven

Whereas mine only goes to three 



Great ride guys... It was good to meet some new faces.  I had a good time.

Here are some photos:

Great riding with you guys! Gorgeous day, bikes, cheese, sign. Now I'm kind of pissed I didn't pass the other half of the hardleys. I just wasn't feeling it at the time. Kind of had the mellow button stuck on today after I stopped shaking from D4's espresso4 this morning. 

(Em had cornbread muffins waiting in the oven when I got home  There is good in having a g-friend who doesn't ride much! )

Cheers

Good ride today!! It was great to finally get back in the saddle! [moto] That was some seriously overdue throttle therapy!!

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Harley-Davidson for providing the endless line of passing practice. [moto][moto] Too bad that the passengers had to start sticking legs out to block everyone's passes. Lame.

It was great to see everyone again. Hopefully I'll be able to ride more often... guess I'll know more with tomorrow's MRI.

Thanks for coming out everyone!

And yes, in case you didn't hear, I crashed on the sign ride 

Coming up to Tomales-Petaluma Rd, I was pulling over to stop and wait for everyone, when my front wheel hit some gravel...with the brakes on. The bike went out from under me so fast I didn't have time to react. I was on the ground, then the bike was on the ground, then I was up. Minor damage, as the frame slider did its job. The shoulder is a bit sore, but nothing a little Icy Hot won't fix. Time to update the ticker, 'Belle

Awesome ride!  Thinks for leading DQ!  Thanks for sweeping and documenting ptam!

It's amazing how well that sign has held up! Honestly, if you didn't know it, you'd never suspect it wasn't a county installed sign!

[mostrobelle]

Good on you guys for puttin' up that sign.  Hopefully it did it's job.  Desmo, I thought the idea was to prevent crashes with this sign... whatta doin' out there?     Glad you're OK.  Ticker updated.

Looks like fun. Well, for the most part.

What's the deal with the sign? Is it made of coroplast or something? If so, its creator did a good job, judging by the pictures.

The sign is made from clear acrylic. The base yellow layer and the black detail layer are duct tape. And there's a layer of hard resin over the duct tape.
