This Saturday, I am sure many won't ride but please bring your gear. Let's meet at the closest backroads and take turns riding my holey windshield raTi! I want real opinion an d I am totally confident you will say it's the very best windshield you were ever behind. Be brutal with your opinion but bring your gear. Sure, it will be 35f but you won't need much, it really blocks the wind in a sane way. And very quiet.
The raTi is yours to abuse this weekend!

Time and place? I need to get out for another ride on the Norge before we get covered in snow and salt.

I don't think that is the same place we used to gather when I went to Dekalb, or did the build a new place.

Me Neither, the bottoms are worn out of the hard bags.

I'll expect a full report though.

I may be late. It's a long way from Leeds.
I was there 2 weeks ago, and the guy asked me where I been.  Been gone 12yrs. Some things never change
