Put car back together, put car cover on car.

My lower back is killing me. Shoulder is doing better than my back. WTF...lol

Does this mean youre putting her away for season?

yes they're are plenty of idiots out on the road when riding but still most accidents are from rider error. It's your responsibility to be recognized or not hang out in their blind spot and staying within your limits. When riding a bike for so long you can kind of pinpoint out the newbies who are riding a bike, like the way they come to a stop or by how they are taking a corner and sadly they're are to many people on motorcycles who just dont know what they're doing. Especially when gas reached that 4.00+ mark two years ago and everyone was getting a bike it seemed.

I've downed my first bike my first year riding and I'll admit it was rider error, luckily mine was at low speed,(if you wanna hear a lucky story to be alive you need to talk to Alex) but I've learned from my mistakes and I've been fortunate enough not to have had an accident for 9 years.

Riding is a great way to get out and enjoy the road and nothin can beat it imo.

What about RK for tomorrow in BV?

I've ridden motorcycles, and I have to admit they're fun. However, I feel safer with 4 wheels on the ground.

I'm thinking about putting her away for the winter, Erik. If I go out of town for work soon, I won't be driving the Z for a long time. Might as well put it away. Only thing I'm thinking of is Wings and Wheels this coming Saturday.

BTW, we as a Z group and club have been asked to host next year's Midwest Z Fest. So if you guys think we can do it, we need to start organizing the club and volunteer for it.

Well, your day or weekend sounds pretty good. I've always wanted to visit Breezy.

BTW, here's the thread from the weekend in Omaha.
