Last post by STLMike - April 16, 2024, 03:29:35 PMI've driven in LA, NYC, Chicago which are terrible. Every summer I drive from St. Louis to Hilton Head, SC and go through Atlanta GA. If you ride a bike there, you've got balls of steel! I don't even feel safe in a car.

That swingarm is actually a DG that came on the Daytona I bought from a past forum member, Ron. It had been polished before I got it. Am I correct in saying that the DG swingers were gold when new? I think that's correct.

You know, that front fender was on the bike when I bought it 30+ years ago. I never inquired where it came from & the guy I bought the bike from has long since passed away. I have no clue!

The weather was pretty good -- temps in the mid-80s and humid, no rain but windy on Sat.
Seemed like pretty good attendance this year. I think that may be somewhat attributable to Trackhouse joining the paddock. A lot of people wearing Trackhouse shirts and hats.

Last post by SoCal250 - April 16, 2024, 12:19:28 PMDon't get me started on the ass-hat drivers around here. I've seen it all. I used to commute from OC to the LAX area daily on the bike and sometimes car -- a 70-mile roundtrip on the 405. People do everything behind the wheel except pay attention to the road; cellphones, putting on make-up, laptops, reading a book, smoking pot, and even a lone occupant of a Tesla sleeping while doing about 50mph in the #1 lane. Tailgating, no signals, abrupt multiple lane changes without warning, etc., etc., ...
The way to survive: Ride with your head on a swivel and anticipate that every driver will do the dumbest maneuver possible, and assume they're all out there trying to kill you.
