A few of my neighbors have theirs up already.   [bang]
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.

Rode thru 13 turns with my wife while heading to north shore for shrimp, saw a bike down after the 2nd right hander.  A tri-color 848 was parked on the side, all three emergency responders were there, cop, ff, and ambulance.

Hate to say it but if all three were there then not too likely.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

Well optimistically, protocol for most crashes are police, fire engine to block the road/manpower and ambulance for any EMS stuff.  [thumbsup]

Sighted in the SSD service bay this morning, the craigslist 1199 Tricolore.  Evidently it went down at a walking pace on a slippery road, then down on the other side after it was uprighted...damage didn't look too bad, but it ain't worth $35K now...

Young guy, affable and appears to be an enthusiast...Shawn says he's a good tech, I guess time will tell.

Still wasn't worth $35K, especially now that the R is being released.
