Went out yesterday with my buddy. It was a beautiful California day. First time into the twist and turns with the bike. Handled much better than i expected and could carry much more speed than with the Versys. My buddy spotted someone he has some issues with at Hells Kitchen. Nobody got injured but an apology was issued. Funny thing i wound up being the peacekeeper. Have it on video but will not post it. Only mentioning it so you will understand some of the comments i make afterwards...

The fun stuff-

MY BUDDY Weljo got himself a new toy - up close it looks like a Yamaha FJR 1300...
Watching it shoot by me I looks like a black cherry bullet!!



Now we're all riders here so we can appreciate performance - I've test ridden these bikes - impressive.
150 HP - He won't post those parts of the video ??? where he passes me, under acceleration like I'm standing still, it happened and I was very impressed.

Joe - you did great - that is one heLL of a motorcycle. All you need is some saddle time - and I be chasing you through those roads.

We tried in vain pre ride, to mount a cam on my bike. I'm going to see if I have one of those dryer vent clamps for next time.

Since it was just the to two of us on this ride - and I was riding with a rocket ship for a wing man - we did a nice run. The videos don't do Weljo justice - he rode the hell out of that bike - it's all on the cutting room floor.

I have one other rider to compare him to - I recently was sent a link to some one that also just got the same model bike - Weljo's shifts are so smooth - the engine is always right in that power band - a little time in the corners and, well just let me say this - my buddy is going to have to be kind enough to let me keep up with him.

Some good footage of Ortega Highway - Live Oak Canyon Road - for you guys stuck in the snow grab a hot cup and enjoy - canyon carving Road King with sound track...

About the sound track - Funny thing happened....



Weljo,
Your Buddy?!? anybody watching the video knows it's me

About the "Hells Kitchen - inference"

You might hear the camera man mumbling some, well - thoughts - during the video...
Pay no attention to them - he was just thinking out loud.

The reason he's mumbling...

Anyone that has ever had to deal with "Trolls, or any other type of internet bully will understand what happened.

I got my day in the sun with one that's done repeated attacks on my character on our local motorcycle group website.

I'm an honorable man - I don't start fights - I am a man of peace.
I don't insult anyone, plainly because I was taught not to.
Those that know me - know this it true.

SO that said -
What would YOU do if you could confront someone that has insulted you and caused you humiliation?


I got my apology - many times over - from a coward that wouldn't even look me in the eye -

MY lesson learned - he wasn't worth it. A simple POS - COWARD.
AND THOSE THAT HE RIDES WITH ARE THE SAME.

When two 5' tall women have to defend a 6'4 man... I was embarrassed for even having a beef with these losers.
So Klown (He literally wet his pants) - since you lurk here - you panty wad.
You know how and where to find me if you and your girlfriends need some closure.

Does That Jacket Make Me Look Fat ???

Nah, it was the camera angle -

Keep an eye in my mirrors..

The White Charger - DRIVER - had something to prove that morning - he was gonna do what ever he could to be in front of "those 2 bikes"

Backstory -
The charger was in front of us and we split lanes and blew past him when the light turned green. He didn't like it - so he bobbed and weaved through traffic like a pro - to catch us. As the video starts He just got back in front of us and caught the light red. He bobbed and weaved and came up on my side and started to ride next to me - I got a little fed up with his shananagins and hit the juice and blew him off - you can actually see him - in the mirror - pull up next to me one last time before I go past the camera.
The last part of the video :
was the { Black Berry Rocket Ship } earning it's name Hyper Speed Engaged!!

What you can't see is the big sh!t eatin' grin on my face - but you can hear Weljo Hehehe - he knew I was smiling!! That bike of his is impressive.
