And no pictures of wimminz and no mention of anything containing the word Honda.... I think you are right Conrad, 'New Steve' is an alien.

I wonder how bit the fob is for a space ship?

Dang Steve! You're slipping man, a post without how many trouble free miles you currently have on your bike?

Maybe it's not really you and someone hacked in to your account, perhaps a pod Steve?

Do you think that the fob for the ship would use a CR2025?

Nope, it would be run by the power of positive thinking (or fecetious comments).  Just like non-alien Steve's bike.   ;D



Yes I did use the same play on words before you criticize me for overuse of a mispelled word.

I've never criticized you have I Jeremy?    :-X

I know the word, seen it before you used it in fact.

Not saying you would criticize, that was just in general.

It is the word of the week so I try to use it at least once a day.   ;D

Around here, I'd say that it's more like the word of the year.   ;)

So far no one has mentioned the fact that a 55 aspect tire raises the rear, affecting steering geometry. I suggest that this has more to do with any handling improvement than contact patch size and/or shape.

You really think raising the rear 1/8" makes a difference?

My mistake, I figured when Michelin PR3s or KiPass is mentioned in a post, everything else is muted anyway.  I'll try and do better I promise!  ;D

My bike is up in the Carolinas from Tampa today, pushing 45,000 carefree miles in 20 months.  Chilly up here compared to FL!

Yeah, good word and all but let's not forget 'gashole' which is probably the word of the decade.

I'll let you know after Saturday morning.  Taking the Battlecracks off and putting PR3's on with a 55 rear Saturday morning.
