Curveball: dropping it at a shop tomorrow me thinks to have it looked at. Reverse started making noise leaving bike night last night, in addition to the other nonsense. If the tranny is borked, I might throw in the towel.

* sell S2k, buy track bike and gear.

Depends on cost. Starting to feel like deja vu with the R. If that happened today, I'd rather spend the $6k on bikes.

The thought crossed my mind. The recovered Honda is red though, and I really wanted a red car when I bought the S2K, so it might have to be #teambluecar and #teamredmotorbike

Many think that the life of the blue sports car owner is easy, full of glorious weekend days blasting down the highway, enjoying the sportscarness all the time.

In fact. It is not. The world is riddled with dead blue sports cars. Ones the owners refused to fix. Ones wrecked, mangled, and left to rust and rot. Their blueness fading into a deep dark black, like the darkest holes of your cold dead soul.

I ain't got no trust fund, but convertible and motorcycle aren't mutually exclusive in my book. Also, gear already acquired

Yup. The work Hackathon my team won netted me $1500 in AMEX gift cards, so I went and got suited up. It's why I tried on Matt D's helmet and Travis' gloves at the Tail as I was looking for recommendations and sizing things.

Ended up with: Shoei RF-1200 for the dome, Rev It Sand 3 gloves & GT-R Air jacket (+ CE2 back protector) and Alpine Stars pants (+ upgraded knee pads) & MX-1 shoes.

Keeping a close eye on CB300Fs and Groms on CL around Austin. Prefer to check the CB300F box first.

So it's just yourself from outside of the car, not inside.

the kawasaki versys 300 I had at the tail was also a HOOT, and fit us tall gentleman well.
