        Jedz,

        Thoroughly enjoyed riding to work with you (from the comfort of my couch). Wait, work? What's that?

        I bought a Dunlop for the rear of my Kaw 900 years ago. As I'm walking out the door after ordering it, the salesman asks, "Street or Race compound?" Now you know what I said, even after he tried to convince me I was wrong.

        And of course he was right. "Race" tire was slippery as all hell.

        Again, loved your video. Learned something about chain noise vis a vis sprocket size. And there's nothing wrong with a good sunrise rant. Got me all psyched up. I'm gonna go do some maintenance now - maybe change the bong water. Cheers!

                  Just a mile shy of 400 miles today going out to Hocking Hills for the first time in a long while. Ohio 56 and 682 are fantastic roads but my GPS messed me up so I missed a few other roads I wanted to be on today. However, I also found a few nice ones off of Hwy 772 south of Chillicothe and so I want to go back this year before the snow and ice comes if possible. I also re-learned a valuable lesson that I thought I managed already when I tried to use the camera and discovered I couldn't take any pictures after this first one. Next time I'll remember to charge the battery for it too before every ride.

                            And of course he was right. "Race" tire was slippery as all hell.

                            Again, loved your video. Learned something about chain noise vis a vis sprocket size. And there's nothing wrong with a good sunrise rant. Got me all psyched up. I'm gonna go do some maintenance now - maybe change the bong water. Cheers!
                            Yeah man dirty Bong water can ruin your day! best get that sorted!!!HAHA

                            Yeah still got a few decades before I can retire... But I try to enjoy every day I have and not think about the day I don't have to work. I do enjoy my job. Brings a good amount of satisfaction to my life. Rather being a professional motorcycle tester but hey... Can't really seem to work into the niche.

                            I will likely not run these Dunlops again, there was a rebate for them and it did entice me knowing even if I didn't like them, they wouldn't last too long by how many miles I rack.

                            Crested 26K miles for the season yesterday afternoon. On the T120... Love that bike!


                            Huzzah I now have 21K miles on this new transmission!!! No Issues!!! (1K more than the last one before it blew)

                              I much prefer the look of this cycle without the full coverage fairing. Complely changes the look. That Yoshi exhaust looks..... proper...
