His bike is a RG vs my SG. They feel wildly different anyway, so test ride wouldn't help. A buddy just came by on his 19 CVO RG and his bike was stock with a 21. Just found that out

Hit 86 yesterday, freak wave of hot air swept through, back in the 60's where it belongs today. My g***s needs mowing, and I'm feeling so enthusiastic about that the mower battery is still in the basement and the blade deck still needs leveling and the blades sharpened. Last week I told meself next week, and I'm sticking with that, I'll do it next week.

I haven't seen anything like this on national media - Minneapolis blm'ers are learning what karma and/or consequences mean. Two women complained on a local news show that when they requested domestic abuse help, they were told the police only go in that neighborhood in special circumstances, and they'd have to meet the officers in a different location. A reporter asked a few people at the Floyd memorial (that's been blocking a formerly busy intersection for over a year now) how many the cops kill in a year and one woman said hundreds in Minnesota, thousands in the country. A few people said the city was going to burn this summer. I don't know how this kind of ignorance can be dealt with (legally), especially when it seems like everyone is just throwing fuel on the fire.

Afternoon from cloudy and cool Colorado. We were under a severe thunderstorm and so far have only had a few sprinkles.
Moldy, ya just can't help that kind of ignorance, one can only hope that nature takes its due course.

Hey, Greg....all good up there, thankfully. Fertilized and got some weed killer ( against the rules) with one of those bottles you put on the end of the hose. Only worry is that if i kill all the weeds in the lawn, I won't have anything green...

Weed killer frowned upon for fear of drainage into the lake?

Yep and fertilizer for fear of weed growth in lake. There are some nice looking lawns and I'm sure they didn't get that way naturally. I'll just mention it to #1 son, he can plead ignorance if anything is said.

"Wildly different"?

Have you ever ridden a RG Chris? It's the exact same bike with a different fairing.

They've got you fooled...

It may have been in my mind, but the fixed fairing messed with my head and I didn't like it. When I bought the SG my intention was to get the RG.
