Rode it to go chase Wheaton and 1911 around in the twisties. It was awesome. They are fast. But they were nice enough to wait at the turns for me.
So far this month, I’ve learned about the importance of kickstands, and of clutch levers. That’s even better than book learnin.
Rode it all damn day.
Lumberg is gracious enough to not mention that he SAVED my ass by noticing, as I was backing away from the Waffle House, that my bolt/pin at the clutch lever was unscrewed upwards almost all the way out of the connection. Evidently my locknut came loose and fell off. I would have been major league screwed if that pin came out. Lumberg saved the day without making a personal judgement.
Also, Lumberg is by far the fastest rider in our 3 rider group, jwilly-like.
Because of these fine gentleman, it was an awesome day. However, I think Lumberg face-palmed on one or three passes. In my defense, Lumberg put me in front. Not likely that happens again... Lol.
Anyways, 470 awesome mountain miles on a stock seat. No tickets, no ditch surfing, awesome weather and pavement, guffaws over the intercom, not bad for a late November ride.
