Jedz,
Thoroughly enjoyed riding to work with you (from the comfort of my couch). Wait, work? What's that?
I bought a Dunlop for the rear of my Kaw 900 years ago. As I'm walking out the door after ordering it, the salesman asks, "Street or Race compound?" Now you know what I said, even after he tried to convince me I was wrong.
And of course he was right. "Race" tire was slippery as all hell.
Again, loved your video. Learned something about chain noise vis a vis sprocket size. And there's nothing wrong with a good sunrise rant. Got me all psyched up. I'm gonna go do some maintenance now - maybe change the bong water. Cheers!Last edited by Rob S.; 09-29-2019, 10:07 PM.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

Free speech is the foundation of an open society. Each time a society bans a word or phrase it deems “offensive”, it chips away at that very foundation upon which it was built.

Just a mile shy of 400 miles today going out to Hocking Hills for the first time in a long while. Ohio 56 and 682 are fantastic roads but my GPS messed me up so I missed a few other roads I wanted to be on today. However, I also found a few nice ones off of Hwy 772 south of Chillicothe and so I want to go back this year before the snow and ice comes if possible. I also re-learned a valuable lesson that I thought I managed already when I tried to use the camera and discovered I couldn't take any pictures after this first one. Next time I'll remember to charge the battery for it too before every ride.

Yeah still got a few decades before I can retire... But I try to enjoy every day I have and not think about the day I don't have to work. I do enjoy my job. Brings a good amount of satisfaction to my life. Rather being a professional motorcycle tester but hey... Can't really seem to work into the niche.
I will likely not run these Dunlops again, there was a rebate for them and it did entice me knowing even if I didn't like them, they wouldn't last too long by how many miles I rack.
Crested 26K miles for the season yesterday afternoon. On the T120... Love that bike!
Huzzah I now have 21K miles on this new transmission!!! No Issues!!! (1K more than the last one before it blew)Last edited by Jedz123; 09-30-2019, 07:52 AM.Jedz Moto
