LOL I was rippin around on the Blast earlier. I like that bike more and more every time I ride it. I scared myself a couple of times on that run, especially when the front end broke loose a bit on a real hairy rain slick turn. I've heard you are pretty sick on the XR. I don't know if I'm up to that challenge. I hope the Blast wasn't too deafening for the guys chasing me. We need to do HH Run II this year. Has Tramp got the S2 back on the road? |

Just trucked my M2 down from Lake George, probably did over 200 miles on a broken front isolater bracket that had 3 threads left on the broken bolt holding the good side on. Ya, that was not a typo. Go figure. That's like beyond luck. Air on one side of the bracket, 3 threads on the other. I'm a believer. |

There was a noticeable but moderate increase in vibration. It was VERY windy, so I guess I chalked it up to that. I didn't even see the broken mount until we were out 30 or 40 miles into the twisties around Lake George yesterday! That was a nervous and gentle ride back to the lake house! Of course, I thought I still had a good bolt holding it all together at that point. |

On the subject of Bear Mtn, the weekly bike/car show started last week. I saw only one buell there. Perhaps tonight there'll be a bigger turnout? (wink wink nudge nudge) |

Y'all ever thought of starting a Storm Fronts thread? It'd be the way to go. Y'all wouldn't have to worry about a thread getting buried and you could stay more organized, also it'd be a good way to keep all your photos in one spot. Just a suggestion... |

Never really put any thought into that. Me thinks it's a good idea, hopefully we all get on the same page now. Thanks Glitch |
