Nice day for a ride all things considered, but it was about 20 degrees cooler than predicted. I was wearing a tex-mesh summer jaclet, so by the time we got to Princeton, I was ready to head back to the urban heat island. Next time I'll know to wear leather.  :-[

First of all, Nate went down, but was able to get back up [thumbsup]
It was good tobit some nice sweeps again, but blind exit curves kill my confidence.

Yes it was much colder than i was prepared for.  The ride back was horrible [evil]
I got the shivers and that jacked up my shoulder so I bailed without saying goodbye.
Sorry guys.

Great ride everyone but it did get cold.

Good ride - at least Cher got to have some fun by proxy!  It got so cold I had to turn on the heated grips there for a minute.
I don't get over to right side of the metromess that often so a lot of those were completely new roads for me.  Thanks!
Regards,
Alan

Glad you enjoyed them.  There are plenty more to be had.....by proxy.  [cheeky]

The sun actually came out for a bit as I was winding my way home, it was fairly comfortable for a while.

It was fun (mostly).

spy yellow fairings yet Lisa?  :o
Allan did well and asked Nick if he could take them the instant he walked up.  You have him trained accustomed to asking the right questions.

Haha!  I saw that bike yesterday when I was at AMS.  Very nice  [thumbsup] 

I actually think I'm in luck with repair/replacement parts; Stuart has a 749 tucked away in the warehouse that's being parted out so I may be able to get my 999 back on the road the one-stop-shop way.

Very enjoyable ride except when the temp dropped 25 degrees and Nate's misadventure (thank goodness he is OK and now has a shorty clutch lever).
So are these a weekly thing?  ;D
