    Rich, I know I was a douche to you the last time you tried to do this and it was my interpretation of your jargon that really sucked.


    This ride sounds fun. Are you ok with a 4th?

    Give me a shout if you're going, we'll ride out to the meet point together. That way if I get lost I can blame you, and you'll still be the douche

    Hey rich I had to bail. the repair to my tire held 50 psi over night but when i lowered to 30psi and rode to ct the tire warmed up and started to bleed. I am bummin .... i really enjoyed your riding pace. there's always next time. right now I have to consider a new tire so I can do the 10/10 LAPS TD

    Yaaaaaa 50 psi is a good street pressure isn't it???? wow Ive been riding for 18 yrs on all kinds of bikes and very little dirt. when I bought that tire two weeks ago and ran it at 30psi it f ing picked up a screw and wow i just figured it picked up that screw because the psi was so low.

    You donkeys don't comprehend what you read or listen to what you hear. I stress tested the plug at that psi over night and check for leakdown in the morning before riding with the big dogs which Ive never done before???

    Ya those diablo corsa III's really suck! ya at $200 im just a poor boy looking for hand me downs Can't believe they even sell those f ing things hmmm pirelli's vs metzy's best street /track tire ill take the pirelli everytime less the screw of course.

    Hey Rich thanks for the invite and I will be picking up a new corsaIII tuesday.
