Yesterday's lunch w Director was... somewhat interesting. He claim we haven't had infected coronavirus (other than person who went to the cruise). Welp, spoke to soon. Last night, NBA announcing one of Jazz player came positive.

Now, NBA & MLS are on hold... it was comin'. Let's see what kind of excuse the Director gonna make now.

Edit: Shit... he send out fuckin' essay (bout 5 pages long) email.

The highways equal lawlessness to motorcycles. That’s one common thing I’ve seen in regards to most motorcyclists here.

This might be a stupid question.. I know.. Please be easy on me

While cruising at 125 miles/hr my hood bends upwards, as if it is about to open.. This is normal isn't it?

OK, this seems to be similar, but he says "shakes"; mine bends upward

Mine does as well. It can be adjusted but I never really worried about it. I would rather have that tiny bit of flex than have to force an aluminum hood closed so it is tight.

I noticed the other day mine was lifting on one side at 80 mph. Never noticed it before. I wonder if the body shop did sonething.

Could you ever find an open stretch of road around San Jose where you could do 80?


They may not have set the bump stop high enough?

srsly. it's all a matter of adjustment. Not just the latch, but the corner stops must be set accordingly. Get a tight seal with the latch and adjust the bumpers to keep the corners from lifting.


Doesn't have to be super tight, just accurate.

There were a couple.

I'm sure it is new. I would have noticed it before now. Going to have to check it out.

In some places, a white line is a lane for motorcycles -
