So I spent all winter auguring with chris overt the fact that silver wheels wouldn’t look good…i was wrong, very wrong. ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3437/3363860135_829d787dee_b.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3437/3363860135_829d787dee_b.jpg) ---

I absolutely love my bike \<3 Joe don’t worry we won’t ride like asses, I’m cool with staying in the back usually, don’t push urself too hard and you’ll be alright. It was cold and the roads were sketchy so I will not be riding hard until the weather stays warm. Ride with you head not your ego and you’ll be okay, no1 expects you to go fast ---

Yeah I wanted to take it slow, it was pretty cold and I didn’t want to lose anyone. When the weather gets better, our pace will pick up. Nice to meet you, Joe :tup: ---

^ dont get discouraged… if they went too fast… stay back, and catch up at the lights/stops… if they dont wait, they arent a good group to get your “experience” from. Find somebody you know and trust and absorb as much from them as you can. **I GET MAD HEARING ABOUT PEOPLE GOING FAST THIS EARLY IN THE SEASON. COME ON GUYS SUMMER ISNT EVEN HERE YET** ---

how long have you been riding? I know we said it before but just make sure not to push yourself past your limits. you will get more comfortable real quick. once it warms up you will be able to push yourself more. don’t worry about keeping up. I won’t be able to keep up with tim once it warms up. ---

Loop was great…only my second time on the thruway. If you put the days together its roughly only been two weeks of riding. Next warm day I have off, I have to go to a parking lot and practice stopping and tight turns. I think today I was more worried about not getting lost, then focusing on my riding. but now I know the route I can focus on the riding. ---

you will get more comfortable soon. he’ll I’ve only got about 2500 miles under my belt. a good part of those were to and from work last year. no problem with taking it slow. I’ll stick back next time so you don’t have to worry about getting left behind at all and can focus on riding. weekend looks good but cold. Sunday ride? ---
