Flash mob? Flashdance? Flash ride!

57 degrees today!

That's ridin' weather.

Be safe. There's still a lot of ice in the shade.

 

[JustAnotherSquid]

Did it "need" a new battery? Yep.
New tires? Yep.
Tank bag? Yep.
Centerstand? Yep.
Hand guards? Maybe not. But they are a good complement to the heated grips so ... yep.
Crash bars and skid plate? Maybe not. But enough people here have seen me ride to agree that the answer may be "yep".

So the BMW hand guards arrived today. They came with a 112-page instruction manual. No I'm not kidding. Man, I love the Germans.

Except for the part where they bombed Pearl Harbor.

Why would anyone with heated grips and no expectation to ride on a small trail need those...

Already answered!

 

[bmart]

I'm starting to wonder if I will ever ride again.

They protect your heated grips in case of a fall.

In case, just in case. No reason to quote the CMR motto!

Humor?

 

[JustAnotherSquid]

Haha. He made extra effort to make fun of motorcyclists and cyclists because the Hamster and Captain Slow were both.

Compare this to today's world where people can't help but say things like, "Her and I went to the store" and then turn around and get you fired because you called them the wrong pronoun...

We need a way back time machine! lol

 

[JustAnotherSquid]

None of my tools have heated grips.

They do now! You can't hide genius!

It's time for some Thread Convergence! Heated grips, hand guards, and TMBG!

Our Track Day Beast of Burden. An old CX-9 GT with a Mustang engine. Rawr.

 

[bmart]

Have you impressed Alan with that yet?

Gotta love em. Thinking about putting that jet engine in my 6….then we can race to the track!

 

[JustAnotherSquid]

No, I figured he was impressed enough with the Delkevic. At some point, it would all just be bragging.

And now I can't even throw it away. I have to keep it forever in case I sell the bike. Those nutty Germans ... I liebe them!
