I have been working 2 days a week now instead of the usual 5 days.I’m in automotive business and we are open 6 days a week now.
So i have been riding a little bit more and last Sunday my riding buddy and I went for 200 miles journey. Of course we had to order our lunch curb side. I was wondering if you all are riding more or not riding at all? Also solo or in a group?

Bout the only thing we can still do around here being everything is closed! Same here with the weather. We are getting everything from snow, hail, ice and 80 degrees weather. Southern California would be ideal place to to ride. Post videos if you can. |

Now that the normal commuter traffic isn't around, I've been able to ride to work almost daily. This has never happened before and when the weather is nice I'm seeing far more motorcycles on the road. All in all it's been incredible for riding as long as I stay healthy.

Been grounded as a snowbird here in Florida. Normal small group I ride with haven't even started their bikes, Normally our rides would be destined to stop for a meal but our favorites don't do take out. Just sold my MT so am now looking to replace it with either a FJR or Tracer GT to ride in Western NY. Always was a rider who didn't worry much about health but this pandemic puts me a much higher risk so I don't take the risks as lightly as b4. Sucks to be old.

Up here in Seattle we've had unusually nice weather. The wife works from home, Microsoft, and her and the squid (my daughter) are looking for a new dog. Our old one died 2 years ago and we needed a break, he was awful. Hope you are all well, riding safe and not coughing on each other too much. Cheers, G

Cheers, G This nice weather in our area has let me put a ton of miles on the bikes. I’m absolutely loving it! Stay fast, and stay healthy. Hard to catch Covid at Mach 1! |

I did a 80 miles loop and the weather was gorgeous .one thing I have noticed is that after switching to a 15W-50 oil m6 bike isn’t as loud as before but runs smoother and shifts better. I try to ride a little more and it keeps me sane with all this crazy stuff.

Also my long time riding buddy bought a 2018 Aprilia Tuono factory yesterday. It’s a beautiful bike and what I originally wanted. But i was wondering if you fellows rather have a 2020 MT10 or a 2018 used Tuono? We know which one I chose!

But i was wondering if you fellows rather have a 2020 MT10 or a 2018 used Tuono? We know which one I chose! They’ve always been very attractive to me. When I bought my MT-10 (coming off a KTM SDGT), I had a fair number of bikes I considered (would have wanted to own) and the Tuono was one of them. I live in Raleigh, the dealership in DC had some really nice deals going on for new old stock and found a used one in FL with super low miles and nice mods at a great price. In the end though I just can’t get past the dealer network. The reliability concerns that many have I could probably live with, but 3 hours to the dealer is just to much of a hassle/problem to overlook and have to live with. Ended up with the MT10 (used, heavily modded, 3500 miles, $8500) because I was paying cash and the bang for the buck is pretty much impossible to beat in the category. I have been very happy with the decision since day one. For $8500, couldn’t have gotten anything remotely close in terms of mods, reliability, age/mileage in another brand super naked. |

I like your thinking. Pretty much same reasons as far as the distance to the nearest dealership was a big factor for me too.

Going thru chemo, so can't do s*it. But most people can't do s*it either, so don't feel that bad. Ha ha. Should be done by late May, when I have a track school at Barber booked, then a week-long trip to the dragon area, then another week around lake Michigan. But not sure Barber won't cancel it (Superbike School says no), and/or if it'll be a good idea to do it. Gues we'll see  . |

May is almost here and it looks like you have a full schedule for months to come. Keep us posted |
