True. We'll see I guess. It's probably like a year and a half launch anyway.

went for a short ride about to test the replacement drive shaft, only 100 miles or so. Stopped off at the Langley Triumph dealership and sat on the 09 Sprint ST......I WANT ONE!!!!!

Took th ewifey out for a 400 mile jaunt around southern Indiana...playing on the river roads and such. Not a bad way to blow a saturday...even if it did end up with a 142 dolla ticket when I was on the way home. 70 in a 55...which is really just self defense IMHO...but hey you play you pay.

What in the world??? Why are fines so much higher in the Dallas area?

Got a ticket a couple of months ago for going 67 in a 55. $260!!!

Got a new computer today.

You should try BC, our "Speed Tax" rates can induce heart attacks on the spot.

Managed to pull off a 79 in a 55 today. Gotta love when cops sit at the bottom of a looonnnggg hill (read mountain pass) and set up speed traps. While I was waiting I saw two other cars get pulled over from the same trap.
I did get to have some fun though... Did you guys know that I know sign language fluently? Apparently I'm very good at acting deaf...

Yeah our fines arent bad unless you break the 15 mph over...or get one in construction, school or other special zones.

Ours make it up in mass production...there were six of them working at the state line when I got mine...and since they scan your license and hand you the ticket now..they are quick.

Did the same trip backwards today...no ticket too...was awesomeness

I flew home from Denver Colorado today (with a nice new Scorpion helmet in my carry on luggage.)

Did you pay the duty on that helmet?

Let's see, on Saturday Scott and I rode from Kansas City to Lake Scott State Park and set up camp. We got some chicken strips, bell peppers, and roma tomatoes and had a cookout. On Sunday we rode on to Gunnison and got rooms and a big Chinese diner. I tried calling Wrider but he was up in the Springs or something. As we sat around outside the room a big ol' rainbow appeared. Tomorrow we head out to Montrose and will end up back at Rifle Gap. :motorcycle1:
