Saw everyone leaving Starbucks this morning, it looked fun. I got back from vacation last night to a dead battery (I think the alarm is draining it).  I killed a Shorai in a week without riding and a standard in 2 weeks On the night shift now for 7 days so I'm dead to the world for a week, hopefully in 2 weeks I'll be able to meet up and ride.

Not the normal group Sunday ride, but it was still fun.

Different, but fun.    

We used to ride like that all the time with our former group captain, just not as many in the group though.

Not your MSF approved ride.    Did you notice how tight & fluid the front group was? It's a different ride for sure and the awareness radar has to be scanning fast & full time.

Make no mistake, some of the old rides got very crazy at times. Nothing like you guys saw today, or at least the parts that I was on. The wet roads had a big influence on that for sure. I'm not advocating some of the old crazy but for the most part I miss that stuff.  

Ahhh... Some of the old crew came out? Any chance Emile was back on the island?

Sadly, no Emile. We had a couple guys from our old group there who haven't been around lately and then about six or seven others that used to race with them in the days when we had a track.

Sad I missed out on that...

No worries. If the roads had been drier and had less traffic on them then you might have missed something.     

 

At least one guy from last week will be joining us tomoorw.  Who else is coming?

Weather permitting and depending on how tonight goes.........

Weather permitting I should be there...it'll be a short one for me though, gotta get ready to jet out to San Diego on Monday...

It's raining  . How is look outside of maunawili?

Wet over here, but clearing...I guessing the usual route is damp/wet so I'm going to pass this morning, too many things to do anyways...maybe I'll do a short ride later.

Hope to see you guys for the Sept 18th JJ ride...in the meantime I'll be thinking of you guys while I'm riding some of SoCal's finest roads early in my trip and then you feel for me while I'm suffering in Houston's heat later in the trip...

Safe n fun travel!  It's clearing according to the weather.com.  May just go and see how it will turn out.

Almost had a damaged 848 today.  Got a little overconfident hotsy-totsy in a 1st gear right-left in the lower section of Tantalus. PTL. Just cut grass and not even any grass stains!       Got on the throttle a tad early and not enough push on the left bar coupled with a wet patch. It's all good.   

Sounds a little fun...
