Actually, rather than spending my time PW'ing, I read most of the other posts, and then let the issues that stick out in my mind kind of "percolate". Then, while I'm cruising the site, sometimes a few days later, it just kind of "pops" out. I do review my posts a couple of times before I hit the submit button to make certain the paragraphs flow right.

I am not particularly bright, I just take a while before I hit the send button. Don't mistake good sentence structure for smarts..............

Good post OTB.

I know what you mean. I've gotten in some riding this winter but not a lot. I've got a trackday next weekend, and I know I'll spend much of the morning session clearing the cobwebs.

It was in the 60's here yesterday too. I saw a ton of bikes out. It amazes me that people don't take into account that it was the 3rd day of March and there are probably stones and gravel all over the road. Not to mention tire and road temps. I mean this isn't exactly peg grinding weather just yet.

Take it easy out there.

I know what you mean. I saw a guy on his Honda sportbike at a gas station. THought "I hope he doesn't go and dump it." Also saw a couple old farts out on their Harleys.

And that's why I prefer riding over driving. Every road is different, every day is different. You can feel it through the vibrations in your fingertips and through your toes.
