Greg.... we got beat. Pretty soundly..... 75-58. there is a reason Baylor is ranked #6.... They played well and we did not. Hopefully the Spartys will learn from this and improve. They always do!

I been thinking about shocks as well. I had Ohlins on my '13. Took them off and kept them. These new shocks seem to ride a bit nicer that the Ohlins. Thought they were a bit rough....maybe needed to play with them more. I'm torn between putting these on versus selling these and getting something different. Have the winter to think about it....

You ride aggressively and need all the cornering clearance you can get. Again, I could have pulled those from my bike. I just didn't think of it. It happened kind of fast.

Oh - and if you need an air pump for the shocks, clean fork lowers, or the chrome exhaust shields, let me know. I'll send them out.
Thanks for the info, I’ll look at those shocks.
I could use the air pump. I’ll PM you later.

Watching the first episode of The Dukes of Hazzard with Benjamin. He seems to be enjoying it.

Read this article earlier, which is what made me think of the show. Pretty good read with some down home country advice like this gem...

Those standards are too high, you’ll have to stick with us.

Evening, Tim.
Has been quiet in here recently. One would begin to think that our members have actual lives!
And yeah, that oil filter wrench I bought sure is cool! I can't wait to use it again!
