Not only that we need to find out who backed him. Some reports of up to 70K transferred to him in the weeks prior. Some reports said it was from shadow companies of the Socialist Democrat party. To be clear not the Democrat party. This is the one Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are a part. If this is actually true it would shake up parts of the congress and senate as well as NYC.

I've been on segments of the Natchez trace and wouldn't mind doing the whole route. First time on it we were passing quite a few. In talking to and Attorney I work with he let me know to not get caught speeding on it because it's a federal road. Getting a ticket on is not just paying a fine you have to show up in federal court. Good thing we didn't get caught 'cuz we hit some of it pretty hard.

This was a politically motivated assassination. Quite simply any politician that promote violent crime should face 15-25 years in prison, lose their seat immediately, and be forced to take all their gained wealth while in office and donate it to charities that provide services to the violent crime they promoted. They should never again be allowed any governmental or political job. How does one go from a net worth in the negatives to a millionaire in just a couple of years? Become a Politician. I pray for Mr. Kirk's family.

I forgot to wear mine when riding yesterday. Would have been interesting. Got in 100 mi but dodging some rain drops.

Rode to the office today. Been able to get in more and more. Wife is still a little scared of me riding after the stroke but just taking it easy and not pressing it. With the Monday holiday hoping the weather holds out and I can get in a couple hundred miles.

My riding has slowed considerably since Loretta won't ride and now I work remote. I would put ~500 miles a week on the bike when it was my daily commute.

Ready to burn it to the ground!

Sorry Man, I cannot, but the post is too funny. -
I don't know personally. I have seen reports online of people getting flats with their run flat and not noticing at 40 MPH. There's a Facebook group I'm in for Dark siding that's pretty good. guys are helpful and no drama. https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1Y3X5dNi16/

Did ride the '06 double dark. I'm not double dark on the 2018 either. On it I still run the factory model. 45K miles and only 3rd front. Which I don't mind the mileage on the front. The back was killing me. I did the factory model as the second tire on the back and only go 5100 miles before having to replace it. Complained to the shop and they agreed to prorate the 3rd with a factory model and got 6000 miles on it. That's wen I pulled the trigger on the g-force. BTW: I believe the G-Force has a run flat that some use on the 2018 and newer.

Additionally, I thought there was a little more counter steer when I first went dark but that feeling dissipated quickly. I 100% notice better stopping and better handling in wet weather. There was no difference in cornering traction. Tires have lasted 20 -30 K miles compared to 5 - 8 K with MC tires.

On the '06 I ran a Nexan. on the '18 I run a g-Force 2 205/55/16

I was able to get out last weekend for the First Time since the stoke in April. Still a little shaky with backing the bike up without the sure assist but everything else was good. Was a little nervous but all was well. Hope to get out between raindrops this weekend.

I would put the car weight over the axels. Only towed a combo once though and it was a long time ago.

Not what I found online: Here is the full online item for inspection: Item 6 seems to be the key item. 19VAC30-70-400. Motorcycle tires, wheels, rims. Inspect for and reject if: 1. Any tire has a cut or puncture, not to include a plug or patch that may be used as a manner of repair, or is worn so that the fabric is visible. NOTE: Plugs/patches shall be in the tread area only. Plugs/patches are not permitted in the side wall of the tire. 2. Any tire has knots or bulges in any side wall or if there is evidence of a broken belt under the tread or of the tread separating from the fabric. 3. Any bolts, nuts, lugs or spokes are bent, loose or missing. Rims or wheels are bent, cracked or damaged so as to affect the safe operation of the motorcycle. 4. Wheel bearings are excessively worn or out of adjustment. 5. Any motorcycle is equipped with a tire that has a tread depth measuring less than 2/32 of an inch when measured in accordance with the instructions set forth in subdivisions 6, 7, and 8 of 19VAC30-70-130. 6. Any tire is marked specifically for use other than on the highway such as "For Farm Use Only," "For Off-Highway Use Only," "For Mobile Home Use Only," or "For Trailer Use Only." 7.

David, Just a thought, I have bad Arthritis in my left shoulder and recently had a stroke where my left arm lost most of its motion. I picked up a therapy shoulder pulley from amazon and it helped immensely for range of motion and shoulder strength. Not sure if you have something like this but using it daily help alleviate the pain and now I'm just short of full motion. Not sure if it would help you but. . . . .
