Hey Coiled,At 0900 and just 49F , I headed out to meet a group in Liberty then ride to lunch on Lake Houston but I screwed up, twice, not trusting my GPS (I was probably right) so I let them know I'd be at lunch only. One guy .. late 20s? .. has paper tags on a '23 BMW S1000rr. I asked how much HP and he didn't know, dafaq?
The answer is 205, a paltry 45 more than my '09 ST but at 14yrs newer and some 200# lighter, I bet that's enough to get 'r done.
On the way home I hit the best-in-area twisties erroneously tagged 50mph. Just as I entered a good right hander, I see an upright bike barely off the road on a driveway and a guy standing there. I lifted my knee off the pavement (cough cough), slowed and gave a *wassup* gesture but his response wasn't a thumbsup so I doubled back. I pulled up to a late 20s / early 30s dude, long dreads, smokin & phonin with a not my style but nice looking dressed Indian.
Me: You all right?
Him: I came around the corner, hit some gravel and went down. All those scratch marks are mine.
Maybe you should slow down.
I was only going 45! I'm a new rider and it's my 1st time on the twisties.
See *slow down* above ...
Meanwhile his buddy arrived on a bike to help so I decided that was a good time to exit.
Did I mention new Indian rider dude's helmet looked like this?
I suspect he was trying to ride a dresser as if it were a crotch rocket and I get that. Hopefully he learned and has many more safe miles of riding.
BTW: I did 2 more laps so I passed him 3 times and never encountered gravel at that, or any other curve this evening.
Wowser!

Was that what created that cluster traffic problem on 59, southbound, through downtown at about 10 am today or a little later?Wonderful day to escort POTUS.
But you can brag for the rest of your life about escorting joetato, who probably didn't know where he was. JK, you done good, it's your job, not your fault they want you to escort a babbling idiot.Wonderful day to escort POTUS. Nothing was dry after 8 hrs of rain.
We do everybody. Trump is always a hoot when he comes through. In the last picture, Biden is using the lower entrance to enter AF1 now. It's a shorter less steep ladder, because he kept falling with the taller ladder with the upper entrance. Crazy.But you can brag for the rest of your life about escorting joetato, who probably didn't know where he was.

It's quite possible, but then that area is always congested.Was that what created that cluster traffic problem on 59, southbound, through downtown at about 10 am today or a little later?
You ride a goldwing? If you do, how do you like it? I had a ST1300 for a while. It was a little top heavy. My 2 up bike now is a 1200 adv bike. Was thinking about swapping it for a new wing. It would be more comfortable for the gf but they are the size of Rosie O'Donnell.Wonderful day to escort POTUS. Nothing was dry after 8 hrs of rain.

I don't really think about who's in the package anymore. My first motorcade was with Bush Jr and I've escorted every president and VP since then. They all get treated the same.Perhaps you are a better man.
I wouldn't speak a word to tell that sob a car was coming at it, let alone ride in the rain for it.
