Aside from mountain rides, a lot of my riding is on 60 mile rides at 80+ mph. My average RPM on those rides is about 7,200 rpm, and I get around 160 mpg. (MPT, oops!)

Hmm, that mileage is really low. I got 7k before it hit the wear bar. Can you provide pictures of the tire tread?

Don't forget, if you find a cheaper price on something online that Bert's has in the store, they will price match! They don't advertise that a lot for us locals!

Yeah really haha. I'll probably be hitting the road an hour early to get to the start on time (early), so I definitely will be in full cold gear!

Well yea that is a point, but I disagree about it in the daytime. I've never gotten flashed by car drivers, as I made sure it was low enough. The HID is a lot more noticeable during the day, and I recommend it over halogen bulbs.

Yes! We should!

Why not just go for an HID instead?

Yeah, well at least it won't be at freeway speeds, so lighter gear may do the job. 55°, 41° is what it looks like it may be there. It is just as awesome as it seems!

Yeah it doesn't look like it will! Bring your cold weather gear though, its going to be BRR haha.

Yeah really, thats a prime example of if you don't respect the road, it will bite you at the first turn. In fact, I've been behind people who crashed on the first U turn, and several of the U turn switch backs. Well, it takes safe practice! I've been riding that road since I first started...

Ya me too. Odd thing is the last two times I've been up there, there has been collisions or cars going off on the first corner out of the U turn. http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=34.163676,-117.8402&spn=0.001141,0.002642&t=k&z=19 Right at this corner.

Yeah I noticed that too. Its good they do pull over. The only bad thing, is that I had a tripod set up and recording, a couple would toot their horn while going past. That just made me laugh, as I had to have a lot of cuts haha.

Yeah! They've been at it for a few weeks now. When I was up there on the 4th shooting youtube videos, they had at least 11 trucks doing work on the road!

Well its a typical commute for me as well, being in the LA area sure teaches you to ride aggressively to be safe. I think it isn't too much lane splitting, only because I do it as well, but a lot of people might think otherwise, because it is illegal in a lot of other areas.

Its a fairly noticeable line, where the light ends. However, its not bad, with small adjustments it is not disturbing to other drivers, but still very bright. I recommend this mod to anyone looking for more light output and greater visibility during the day. If anyone wants to see the line...

It does count! Well, if it rains, I wipe the bike after with a shammy and call it good. Yeah I would call it exotic, you don't see one everyday.

Well, here is the bike getting washed. It counts because I usually wait for nature to wash 'er, so the rain came in handy!

I do, but it depends on the ride and the riding style. For long rides, I have music in on low, as they act as ear plugs as well. For commuting, I sometimes do too if I am stressed. But for aggressive riding or riding in traffic, especially if I will be splitting lanes, I leave the headphones out.

I think they get more pleasure out of helping people with similar passions. I know I have no problem giving new or old riders tips in the mountains if they ask for them, or seem like it could benefit them. I got a lot of help starting out too, so its only fair :).

Went for a short ride, cleaned and lubed the chain, then went for a longer ride :). Oh, also tested the cheap camera mount!
