Hell, I enjoyed the cool weather. I have not ridden without being hot in YEARS! I'll hit Scuderia on Tuesday and hopefully show up at Zeitgeist on Thursday

The dainese store is quite nice and nearby too-we have no end of moto love in the city. It's worth checking out, even if you're not buying.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

I'll swing in there to check it out. This last round was buying for pure utility. Hopefully late this year I can  get some sweet Dainese gear purely because I dig it.

I was there about 4:30. I also was checkin' out the Aprilla. Did you see the white one in the back?
Luckily there is no way in hell I can afford one right now. So it wasn't too painful to look at. Those things are mean looking. WANT...

I was ogling that one...that's the Factory model, with Ohlins & such. And we're both right to pass on it...first model year, no true traction control, etc. I think the 1198s is a better bike right now.

Yep, if I where shopping I wouldn't consider the Aprilla over the 1198s. But... with no chance in hell of buying anything like that I'll look at practically anything! That Aprilla is cool though.
