Normal, conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural. A city in central Illinois. Maybe one of our bros is near this place? |

Dave- Hope your ride went well today. Between the rain and my worn tire I wasn't comfortable attempting a long ride. I did buy a set of tires today and should have it here in a few days. It's a set of Michelin Pilot Sport HPX (120/190). Will see how they work. http://www.motoxoutlet.com/index.asp?PageAction=VI EWPROD&ProdID=567 They run about $330/set new and I got a set of take offs for $80 with very little visible wear to the rear tire. Front looked decent but might just leave my pilot power on the front. |

Sorry couldn't make the ride, Dave. How many went? Did it go well? Swede - I'll be curious to see how many miles you get out of the take offs |

The ride was Dave and The Birds. Drizzly up to Mt Hood but beautiful to Maupin. You guys weren't kidding about the potholes big enough to eat a bike. I was keeping my eyes peeled for them. Just a little spritz on the way back thru Estacada. Great ride and Dave was an excellent ride captain. Dbird |

DaBirds were real troopers for the am mist. When we turned the corner for White River, the sun glowed down upon us and Mt. Hood. Good ride to Tygh Valley/Shearers Bridge/Maupin. 216 to 26 to Skyline rd. down to 58 and out at Ripplebrook RS. Nice day in all. Thanks, Dave. |

So I assume you guys took 43 and 48 down to Tygh Valley. Or did you go 26/35/48. |

The CR was great. It felt like a solid block of machine without the motor thrashing around like the XB. I am interested in what is coming out for '10. |

The 23rd-24th would work a lot better for me. |

Hey Buellers, I talked to George Latus about a track day @ PIR (PSSR) with each XB12R, 1125CR purchased thru August. I will include track setup of machine. Please foward to anyone that is thinking of getting a bike. Thanks, Dave. |

Have we set a firm date for the crater lake ride? I thought we were still deciding? I can go if it is Aug 23/24. Can't make the weekend before (Message edited by thepod on July 16, 2009) |

Saturday is the 22nd not the 23rd. So the 22nd and 23rd is correct then? Sorry for all the questions but I just need to make sure the dates are correct and I have read two different dates. |

"RR" is a single purpose built machine for Taylor Knapp to contest against the superbikes. Watch the race @ Mid Ohio this sunday. Next week Mr. Latus will get the new model introductions. Stay tuned! My deposit is already down. |

Slimdave- You don't even have your last one broke in yet. LOL Also as far as the Crater Lake ride. Please post up details about what it is we are reserving etc so we can make a better decision on what is going on. Some may need to tent due to costs. |

Not sure on the Crater Lake run- field projects are getting really busy this time of year - I will know by middle of next week if I was able to get some of my tax dollars back with a "stimulus" job in UT (not as fun as it sounds!). |
