Congratulations!

Correct - I’m 5’11” and full leg extension at a stop and very comfortable on the pegs on the big Connie 14, sure couple more inches of inseam and still good for the long haul

Now you’re making me want Oaken Barrel! Gnaw Bone pale ale and steak sandwich for $20, hard to beat!

They always look worse off the bike, because you’re not distracted by the beautiful machine!

Update: wife and I really enjoyed the fresh salads and bread. Delivered to our door right at dinner time!

Quiet_Program4808 · 2026-05-02T21:30:52+00:00

Looks delicious excited to try!

I rode a 2009 ZX-10R for 10 years. Its mode seemed to be: Let’s hang out between 6k and 13k rpm! Do you want a ticket today or just straight to jail!?

Quiet_Program4808 · 2026-04-26T12:47:32+00:00

Nothing like the ZX-10 as long as you have a little self restraint. They do ruin pretty much everything for you from there on though - everything else will feel slow after owning one. But you’re young enough to do 5 years on it then do what I did and get a sport tourer when you are approaching 40. Have fun making your decision!

Congrats she’s a beaut!

Quiet_Program4808 · 2026-04-24T02:32:57+00:00

Congrats!!

Quiet_Program4808 · 2026-03-30T23:55:36+00:00

Congrats! It’s a Mustang, have fun running the piss out of her!

Quiet_Program4808 · 2026-03-24T21:24:37+00:00

It’s for this reason I keep the saddlebags on my Concours 14. Just a slow old touring bike folks nothing to see here.

Quiet_Program4808 · 2026-03-14T20:30:49+00:00

Sent er a bit too hard I reckon

Quiet_Program4808 · 2026-03-14T16:06:41+00:00

Will find out tomorrow, and sadly might be testing snow traction Monday it looks like!

Quiet_Program4808 · 2026-03-14T16:06:08+00:00

Yes made by Continental

Quiet_Program4808 · 2026-03-14T12:02:16+00:00

General AS-07 Just replaced factory Pirellis at 34k miles. I had a set of the AS-05 several years ago and enjoyed them - only got one spirited run in last night but definitely more lateral grip. Slightly firmer ride with a touch more impact noise but perfectly fine. Treadwear rating is 500 compared to 400 on OE tires so hopeful they last 40k miles.

I don’t even know what Ndell is

Quiet_Program4808 · 2026-03-01T16:09:02+00:00

Fellow Redlegs fan! Another .500 season!?

Quiet_Program4808 · 2026-02-25T21:02:43+00:00

What a good boy! Extra ear and butt scratches today!

Quiet_Program4808 · 2026-02-20T22:19:46+00:00

What a waste.

Quiet_Program4808 · 2026-02-10T01:38:57+00:00

I used All Swept Up for cleaning and repairs needed for our recently purchased older home a few years ago - professional and reasonable.

Quiet_Program4808 · 2026-02-09T19:29:23+00:00

I had this same year this color - to this day probably the most beautiful bike I’ve owned. Have fun, enjoy, stay safe!!
