Had a new clutch put in so it was time for a ride. I only :cool: got 66K out of the original clutch and it was slipping before I hooked up my ADV1 so it was due. Opted for OEM, happy with that result. Thrilled really, pulls like a tank at low speeds again, I did not realize I was losing...

Well, it is not THE most crooked street, that is in another part of the city. Topo-down video of that coming as soon as i have time to render it...

Santa brought me an Insta360 camera. I was fascinated to see how the trap collapses(?) under braking, but in retrospect it makes perfect sense and NOW I know what that feeling is, starting and stopping. This is a very steep and windy road but seeing it in action, the mechanics of the system...

That swiftkicker looks beautifully engineered. For my old Vulcan, I was able to swap out kickstands from other (junkyard) model Vulcans to get the right lean angle. negating the kickstand safety switch took longer than swapping the kickstand. No cool MC junkyards near me now, or I would hunt...

Not next door but, BIG BEND! Watch Kevin Costner's movie Fandango, then go. Take lots of gas with you, and go find the DOM rock :) It's a stretch from Hill Country but worth it IMNHO Also go soak in the waters of Balmorhea on teh way back to Hill country. Jealous!

Remind me again why I moved to California :)

Really enjoyed listening to that, and looking up and seeing a good looking bike or two on occasion ;) Now, how do I become an investor.... ?

I once traveled 9k miles on a bike, only to have the ignition wiring fail. 3 miles from my house, when I stopped at a friends motorcycle shop, so there was beer while I waited for the tow truck. I'm just lucky that way. Got lucky again this weekend. The bomb-cyclone of rain that recently...

DUDE! Love that you test and used a scale as well! Parking with the trailer on the kickstand side until I can test for myself...
