So, pain & suffering on the new saddle??  ;D

It was great.  I've been riding on an Arione for years, and the fit guy wanted to get me on a Specialized Romin.  I ended up picking one up and I'm just not sure if I jive with it.
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Rode on Ariones for years too. Still have a few of them around but now I went back to an Aliente. It's a little easier on the derriere but then I haven't gone on real long rides with it. I'll have to see as time & miles go by.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

Returned my Sidi Fusion boots today to RevZilla with Prepaid Return UPS ground shipping for $7.95 to PA.  It will be deducted from my refund.  Easy process and no hassle.  [thumbsup]  I may need to get a size bigger or try a different brand.

Bummer...if I remember correctly Cycle Sports stocks Sidis, don't know if they have the Fusions in your size though...

Aloha one and all. Montgomery Powersports stocked Sidi boots when I was on the island, but I don't know what they carry at the new showroom.

Rick- I hope all is healed now that the stitches are gone.

Cheers,

MPS not so much anymore.    Healed but still a bit tender.  Thanks! I'm better off than Brandon.  [laugh]

Went down to the shop where MD checked the sag on my Triple, not perfect but in the ball park...also watched MD apply some pizzazz to his R...

On the way home just missed getting hit by a foul tip as I passed Radford HS's baseball field...ball hit in the lane next to me and then over my head, had me ducking...

Ordered a pair of A-Stars GP Pros from Revzilla last week and they arrived this evening.  Cool looking black with the red race track motif.

Tried them on and they'll be going back...right glove is snug but feels as though it will break in, thumb on the left glove is about 3/8 too long and the pinkie is tight with a knot of threads or something inside at the tip.  Very disappointed...out of deference to our good friend Sta, I'll refrain from making a snide comment about them being Hecho en Chine... ;D

It's ok. Not all bad, not all good either.  I was made quite right.

So, are you having them send you another pair?

Fingers were also a tad short, so per their recommendation I ordered a pair of Held EVO Thrux gloves which have longer fingers...not as nice as the A-Stars, but I'm looking for a good fit with good protection at this point...the other recommended brand was Rev'it

You would spend $300.00 on a pair of gloves?  I thought only I did that.  ;D

I bought the Helds, $160 shipped...for the record though, I'd spend $300 for a pair of gloves that fit and looked good.  The Helds are kinda stodgy, but then I guess that's what you get when you buy German... [roll]

If they don't fit, here's another recommended option...
