Sometimes, when I know the bugs will be thick, I'll put an old sock over my left glove with a hole in the sock to go over my thumb. I'll use the sock to wipe bugs off while I'm riding. I've also kept a rag in the left pocket of my tank bag, and pulled it out to wipe off my visor, but the wind tries to take it from me, so the sock works better.

I usually just go to the restroom and get a wet paper towel then dry it off with the balacalava i carry with me....

I still have the tank/saddle/tail bags for $30.... made by cover craft...

I'd be afraid the darned bug would just smear further across the surface. I have a microfiber goggle rag that came with a parka, somewhere, that works great for drying off after washing the faceshield.

Burgers and drinks on erickb! That's a splendid idea actually.

Plus you can ride around and around the Sonic parking lot and stuff doing wheelies and other various stunts, in flip-flops and a tank top. We're trying to bolster the local image of motorcycling anyway.. LOL.

Thursdays at 6 and saturdays at 2 every week...

gfeero · 05-29-2009, 06:08 PM

Yep and three bikes did come. I posted on the wrong thread...

Gadzooks, Staci and I were there. Then three folks came in on sportbikes. I forget the name of the one guy who bothered to introduce himself. The other two were too good for us cruiser types.

Well can you blame them? I mean, everyone knows Harley riders are the REAL snobs. They were probably just afraid of rejection.

pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gfeero · 05-29-2009, 09:17 PM

Oh please! They talked to Caleb, and probably assumed the sporty was his. He tried to take it home instead of that cute little twin of his. Plus, I know my daughter isn't a snob. We were the least pretentious folks there last night.

Oh, and he has the camera phone, so hopefully he'll get the pics up. There were pics taken, so hopefully we can prove that it did happen. Hot though.

I'll vouch for you. I was there on a sportbike last week, and everyone was friendly to me. You guys are laid back.

cascaderider · 05-29-2009, 10:36 PM

I saw three sportbikes heading east on Harvard around 8-ish Thursday night, maybe later. I wish I could ONCE run into some of these guys and get them on here.

Caleb's Korean IS cute. However, I think he's turning Japanese I think he's turning Japanese I really think so.
