    Going home after lunch to air it up and look for the nail I know is in there somewhere. I am sure it will be a fail.

    As I mentioned a bunch of posts back, LS had the Heidenau K60's in stock now. I know it isn't your favorite, but a bird in the hand...and a BigDave to pick it up for you...

    I know where a pre-crashed K60 is. Just have to find a way into the garage in Clifton.

    I thought you would never run a K60 again?

    I'm sure hoping it won't come to that. lol But if Odie gets his bike today or Saturday I am going be on something. It may be a plugged wore out TKC or a K60 but "Desperate times call for desperate actions". I will just slow down on the street. ;)

    Just add some traction control. The computers will protect you! :wink:

    Until they decide not to, of course.

    I have one of the Olympia Jackets. http://olympiamotosports.com/catalog/mesh-tech/mens-x-moto-all-season-transition-jacket/

    Rode in the mountains and down through the desert this last may, only remember being somewhat uncomfortable once, and that was because I was too lazy to pull over and unzip the panels fully. The built in camelback is nice, holds a little bit over a liter. Been pretty happy with it all in all. I use the Ex-Officio underpants, work great. Need to look into one of those high tech tops.

    My jacket is starting to get a little ruff around the edges, might have to talk to you about how it's holding up over a period of time. How long have you had yours and how many miles have you put on it so far?

    I have the Olympia Moab jacket. I like it. You want to try it on for size your welcome to. I also have a pair of their mesh pants. Good stuff.

    I bought it in February. So far only about 3k miles on it. In perfect condition at moment. Life has been abusing my riding time lately. I'm a chubby bastard right now, bought a triple x, fits well enough.

    My wife has an Olympia Airglide 2 mesh jacket she has been wearing for 2 years it's held up well, I have an Olympia AST I've had about a year with no complaints it vents very well and has a much more substantial back protector than most jackets. I'm looking at buying and Olympia mesh jacket myself to replace my tourmaster mesh jacket that's coming apart Lonestar sells the one I like but didn't have my size (XL) in stock in eye searing yellow.

    The rumors are true. Danger Boy's KTM followed me home today from LoneStar. Not sure what this is going to cost me with the Mrs. but she green lighted me to go ride at least one day this weekend.

    SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUUUUNDAY!

    Watched Ted tonight. Great movie, not for kids, even if the main character is a giant teddy bear. I was kind of surprised at the amount of small kids there, have to blame the parents for not watching a preview I guess.
