Hey peeps. Just a lil reminder to watch out w/ the cold weather coming in. Took a curve a lil to fast w/ cold tires tonite and got bit. Bike and I are fine, but it gave me heads up.

Cool lil carnage pic. Yes, I know I'm a hairy mofo. lol!

Glad it's just a scratch, those types of things usually turn out worse. I'd preach ATGATT, but I'm guilty of riding in jeans from time to time as well. I guess it's a lesson for all of us. Glad you're ok Joey!

I know man. Since my bike is my only transportation for a lil while, I've been slacking on the lower body sometimes. Had jacket and gloves on, but just jeans. Way past time for a good set of riding pants.

Owww, man I did the same thing a few years back on a brand new set of tires(which were also cold = two strikes). Didn't get two miles from the shop after installation and low sided at a T-intersection. I know better about brand new tires now , but prolly we all get complacent with cold tires once in a while. Graphic reminder...

This is crazy. It's taken almost a week, but my shoulder is starting to hurt now. wtf? Not bad, but just strange that I didn't feel it at first and its doing this now. Maybe it's just sympathy pain for Juice. LOL!!
