Well, I'm finally riding again. Went on a mini group ride w/ Mark (TLRMan) on his TLR of course, his brother Scott on his SV1000 and old high school buddy of mine, new rider & new NESR member Nick (ff36buell) on his brand new '07 Buell XB12ss.
We set off late Sat. morning, rode around for a few hours, watched MotoGP at my place, then rode some more. Did about 100-150 miles around the MA North Shore & a bit of NH. Hit some good roads & my wrist held up alright. Got a little fatigued, sore & stiff, but no real pain (other than when I brought Nick's bike down from a big ole whilly that thing's a wheelie machine if I've ever ridden one. That shit came RIGHT up just gotta work on my landings )
Also had to give Nick a little of the usual newbie hazing... hitting the cut-off switch when he wasn't looking or taking the key out of his bike & throwing it on the ground in front of him But I gotta admit, for only 3k miles under his belt, he did a pretty damn good job of keepin up w/ us w/o getting TOO far in over his head. He had me pretty nervous a few times as I'm lookin in my rearview mirrors to see him keepin right up w/ me when I was goin at a pretty hefty pace through some sweepers & on-ramps but he kept his shit together, so good on him TLRMan even led him into some corners pretty hot w/ me behind the two of em & I didn't see any panic braking, drifting wide or target fixation, he just kept his eyes on Mark's back tire & went w/ it. So keep up the good work, bro. Yer comin right along.
Anyway, that's all I got... Just glad I'm finally back on the bike & ridin hard after a little over 2 months of sittin on my ass wishin i was on the bike.
