I would but I’m out of town. What route are you going on?

No clue, probably mostly pavement. I have a lot of good routes out west.

William Wolfen · Sep 16, 2020

My fork will be back in Friday. Should have Toto back on her wheels in time for the weekend.

Wrong Toto, but I'm still greatly looking forward to the improved suspension.

BornAgain · Sep 16, 2020

Yeah your's much faster! Think you might have it ready for a trial run Saturday?

William Wolfen · Sep 16, 2020

I'd certainly like to.

This is what I named the bike for. It is an Africa Twin after all...

BornAgain · Sep 17, 2020

Ok where you wanna ride?

William Wolfen · Sep 17, 2020

There's a spot on FM149 in SHNF I'd like to stop at, so something out that way.

BornAgain · Sep 17, 2020

Haven't been in that area for a while would Cheeseburger loop get you there

William Wolfen · Sep 17, 2020

Close enough. It'd only he a minor detour.

Saturday or Sunday?

William Wolfen · Sep 17, 2020

Slightly lower temperature and much lower humidity on Saturday. That's my preference if all goes according to plan.

my6 · Sep 17, 2020

Earlier the better. I say kick stands up at DAWN...

William Wolfen · Sep 17, 2020

Forecast for Anderson is a morning low of 65° and a high of 84° with a steadily declining dewpoint. Should be clear as a bell too. Nicest it's been in some time.

How about we meet at the McDonald's at 149 and 105 at 0830, KSU at 0900? Should put us at Yankee's at lunchtime. I also don't like getting up quite so darned early as to leave at dawn!

my6 · Sep 17, 2020

Wimp.....See ya there.

Say what you will. I'll be getting up half an hour earlier than I normally do just to be there at 0830. I like to ride well rested.

BornAgain · Sep 17, 2020

Sounds like a plan see you Saturday

StromXTc · Sep 17, 2020

I wouldn't go that far, but I'm fairly certain Saturday will be a nice day. The biggest potential roadblock is that my bike is still in a stand without it's forks. The left I've that I damaged should be back tomorrow. I've the afternoon off to receive the package and get the forks assembled and on the bike. Then I'll have to set sag for the upgrades. The ride will certainly involve stops to adjust the damping.

As for that monkey, I'd say his life expectancy is about to be measured in seconds!

StromXTc · Sep 17, 2020

It's fake, like everything on the Internet.

However riding on Saturday mornings on a motorcycle is real. ENJOY

my6 · Sep 17, 2020

The "Voodoo Weather People" forecast doesn't show any measurable rain for Friday late/Saturday morning so I'm going with "let's ride"...

I will probably join in.
Don't wait on me in case something comes up.
