    We'll see how fucked I am tomorrow, mobility is out of the question.

    That is with full race leathers and pads. Those aren't lacerations.

    So, how did the recovery go?

    So the small (home)town yami dealer charged me $343 to replace the fork seals that BigCo in Bigcity i live in quoted $1,031. BigCo tech that I walked out on, who tried to argue how reasonable $1k was, had texted me originally about the pricing. So I texted him a copy of the $343 bill a few hours ago with the caption "$1k+ for this? What a joke."

    Haven't heard back yet....

    $343 is worth it to me. The one time a buddy and I did the seals on my Honda when I was 21, it sucked. The cash woulda saved me some split open knuckles, a fat lip, an almost chipped tooth, hunting around in the bushes for the springs, twice, many hours of swearing, and a missed date that would have been totally worth my while. I eventually got that date, but twice would have been even better.

    Heal up dude. Like they say, it's not if you'll go down but when. Nearly lost my leg to an 82yo man who blew a stop sign in my early 20s.

    Nice. You have some serious gaper gap going on between the goggles and helmet.

    ^my wet dream as a 12 yr old in 1976. Parents were dead set against anything with a motor unless it was a car or a pushmower.

    I second both parts. The power of the e-bikes is so easily regulated, it could essentially make Supercross all rider and suspension setup. Also, with batteries, there’s the chance the speed arrows from excite bike, Mario kart, and F-Zero could become a reality. I’m all for that.

    A few people feel the rain. Most people just get wet.

    That was fun.

    Longest of long shots but if anyone has recently been inside a Yamaha dealer and seen a new Superjet for sale I'd love to hear about it. Called every dealer with any reference to having one and none did.

    That's great! My first motorcycle was a GT80. I rode the shit outta that thing pretending I was Bob Hannah!
    It makes perfect sense...until you think about it.

    I suspect there's logic behind the madness, but I'm too dumb to see it.

    First bike I owned was a 1978 Yamaha DT 100. Eighth grade in NoVa.
    Had been riding a Suzuki RV 90 for about 3 years prior in Florida sand and pine neeedles and snakes.

    I thank my Dad regularly for getting me into skiing and motorcycling, neither of which were his thing. Passions for life.

    Always wanted a moto, since I was a little kid, mom and dad were always against it (sucks having smart parents). Finally got one in my 40's. Everyone says it is a mid life crisis, but I don't see the crisis.

    Bought a WR250R off a buddy for a steal, low miles, basically new although it is an '08. Already spent another $1500 on upgrades, gear, and bags. This thing is a god damned blast! Put 2k miles on it in 2 months. Dirt, single track, pavement, everywhere. Such an amazingly capable bike in all conditions. Can't believe it is only a 250. Hit 92 downhill with a tail wind on I70

    Was supposed to get my license at a class this weekend but it got canceled

    Now I want all the bikes. Definitely need something that'll haul the wife around, and a crotch rocket, probably a MX bike to take to the local track. ALL THE BIKES. But I'll focus on this one for now.

    Yes...every single corner (burmed or not...even on concrete) was to be taken like:

    I used to go to Unadilla in the late 70’s early 70’s. The Hannah vs, Kent Howerton battles were epic. DeCoster and Lackey too
