Congratulations

 

Second anniversary let the good times roll congratulations

 

Tell them its for when you don't feel like riding your Road Glide

 

Every year we camp at Coolidge State Park which is very near Killington, just off route 100. Group of guys I've known for years off an old Suzuki website I used to be on. We do this every weekend after Labor Day. Most guys ride up on a bike with all their camping gear which is part of the appeal. It's a challenge camping for 4 nights on a bike, part of the fun. Last year on the way home I got in a nasty head-on and totalled my Concourse along with my ankle. Today is the 1 year anniversary of that- just noticed! This year I rode a borrowed '16 Triumph Bonneville T120. What an awesome bike.

 

I remember your accident-glad your back to normal. I am intrigued by trying to camp with what you can ride with. sounds like a bunch of fun! I think a family friend had one of those...commutes in Boston with it.

 

Sometimes I wish I still had the blade for people's reactions when they asked what i ride

 

Had to look that up, not dissappointed

 

Sorry fireblade. I'd like to get the new one some day, but won't be any time soon

 

Oh, yeah, something entirely different. The Fireblade is badass, I saw one in OOB earlier this year.

 

what kind of Blade? 900/929/954?

Had an 900RR years ago... That thing was a death trap, and so much fun...

 

2012 1000rr anniversary edition

 

Why would Westboro Toyota try to charge my wife for simple lugnuts vs wheel locks that they broke during a tire rotation on her Venza? They were willing to replace/comp the locks they broke with a new set/key but wanted to upsell for regular lugs...

Not on my watch.

 

Because most people don't care or don't know enough to question it.

 

Because they are assholes?

 

Which paint scheme? The standard Red White & Blue?
Guy I used to ride with had a 600 (I think a 2010 or 11?) with the Leyla fairings, and he took them off and put the basic RW&B patterned ones on because he was worried about damaging the Leyla ones. Still looked sharp, but

 

I didn't love the leyla scheme, seemed like something gixxer riders would like haha

This was ma baby, I miss her all the time

 

Damn. looks good.

This guy puts out my favorite articles on Jalopnik, different bike, but still super interesting.

 

This is my buddies fireblade

 

Meh. Worked for what he had for gear; his jacket and helmet were also black and white, the helmet had almost a splatter pattern on it (ironic). I just didn't understand buying a bike new from the dealer with the Leyla fairing, then buying a RWB fairing and installing it instead. Why not just buy a bike with the RWB fairing in the first place?

 

Haha yeah that's a lot of money and an ass ache too
