Got up at 5 am to meet up with some GWRRA members about 30 miles from the house. It was 35 when I hit the road. Had some coffee at the meeting place and the sun was finally coming up. Another 40 mile ride to the MSF experienced rider course where we spent the next 4.5 hours finding out just how much we really do suck at riding. I actually was impressed with myself. I did improve my u-turns however my tight s-turns need to be worked on, but I managed to muddle through it. 12 wings and one RSV did the course. Instructor pulled me aside after several courses and said he wants me in 2nd gear, which he did state at the time of the first course. Told him this aint a wing. At the speeds you want us to do the RSV will bog down. I tried it and was lugging the engine so I stopped. I did manage second when speed was sufficient to warrant it. The Experienced Rider Course is a must for anyone looking to re-evaluate their riding skills. Cant believe how many bad habits I had picked up over the years. My chapter of the GWRRA, FL1-J, had a lunch ride planned right after. We ended up riding another hour southwest to the town of Hawthorne where we ate at the Yearling Restaurant. Pretty good food but a bit pricey and good company. 100 miles trip back home in 70 degree weather made for a nice day. I was pooped but glad I did it. All in all about 200+ miles.

Spoke with JRichard today about doing something during Bike Week. Since I no longer have weekends off I mentioned that ill most likely be down there on the 2nd (tue) or the 3rd (wed). No official plans are set but most likely we will get together at US-1 Restaurant in South Daytona for lunch. Dont know what everyone elses plans are but thats where ill be. Kinda sucks giving up weekends but hey, its a job........We have been meeting there for years. Kind of like an old shirt...... Hope to see some of yous there....

Ive been using the WalMart filters since 2004 with no issues and you cant beat the price. Cut them open and they are pretty similar to other quality filters.

Ill correct him for ya Squeeze, with glee.........Something to do with flimsy 1st gens.......:smile5:

Problem with the Fram Filter was extremely poor construction. Wal-mart SuperTec filters are built better than the Fram. Seems that the innards of the Fram are cardboard like. Years ago, Pudge, a member of the Venturers site dissected a bunch of filters and discovered that the WalMart was pretty good and the fram was garbage. Fram used to be the best until SignalDynamics took them over. I bought up all the Walmart filters on the shelf back then for 2.10 apiece and still have 4 left over. Just my 2 cents......

Glad to hear the surgery went well. Hoping for a speedy recovery.....

That brace is for a 1st gen. You have a 2nd Gen. It wont fit. If your experiencing vibration you may have some other issues. 1st thing to do is check your tire pressure and wear pattern on your tires. Are they the original tires? Mileage? Out of balance? Since your bike is 5 years old your steering bearings may also need to be adjusted. Not a big job. Besides, 1st gens need those braces because theyre so flimsy to begin with.....

Great news to hear Bob. Yes, im sure its a big relief for you. Glad it worked out.
