Nice looking bike, Glenn, er I mean Kevin.

Baah haha!   

Seriously, though.  Gorgeous bike.

Found this road today that drops off Signal Mtn. You know it's a tight switchback when a PT Cruiser has to stop and back up to negotiate the turn. I had to perform Gymkhana turns on the right-handers going down.

I'll definitely be incorporating it into an upcoming ride...

Imagine that you are a bird...

...with wings...
...and feathers...
...and the freedom to fly...
...to heights of hundreds/thousands of feet...
...high above most predators...

What the hell are you doing in my front brake rotor?

A wheelie, most likely.   8)

Took a hit to my shoulder the other day from some winged terror.  Wasn't pleasant. They should have a minimum op floor of 100 feet agl

A couple of weeks ago, one decided to end it all by wedging itself between the brake hose and fork tube of the Magna. That gives the Magna an air (bird) and a ground (squirrel) "kill". I'm going to have to watch out for low bridge water crossing in case some fish wants a go.

Yes!  I hit a squirrel also, about 1-1/2 months ago.  We're tied!

Two biggest lies I've been handed today...

"20 percent chance of scattered afternoon drizzle..."

"The Olympia AST 2 jacket features a waterproof membrane to keep you dry..."

>:(

Just ordered a Klim Latitude jacket to take care of #2.

I have a Klim Latitude jacket. It's the bomb-digity. It runs a little big. I have an XL and can wear a sweatshirt and a chest protector under it and it's still loose.

I stopped at Pandora's in Chattanooga while passing through the other day. I tried on the Apex and Overland, both in XL...fit great. The Apex was the awesome, but also $800. The Overland lacked some of the adjustment straps and venting, but they were going to make a deal at $375.

Decided to mull it over, and found a 2015 version of the Latitude on Ebay for $450. Also ordered a pair of Latitude Misano pants a few days ago. Other than my mesh gear, I should be able to divest myself of several pants and jackets by going with the Klim suit for most conditions.

Am I right???
