These have great reviews and this is a stellar sale. ~2 hours left on lightning

Wore these on today’s ride. With the medium filters they’re adequate. I tried a short ride with the max protect filters but I didn’t get one of them sealed all the way, so I couldn’t tell how well they worked. They’re comfortable, though slightly difficult to insert.

and I had a nice fall ride last friday. It was like one of the 2 weekends in LA where the leaves change color.
Got real windy towards the end tho which is less fun. The 300 versys did not like 80mph with a 20mph crosswind.

I also need to get the RAM mount, charger, and what not set up on the bike for GPS. We spent a lot of time lost, but a good lost.

weather for the track this weekend looks questionable, meh. I really want to get out there too.

Thats a great video. I really like how he breaks everything down and uses the tire as an aid for visual learners.

You should try Canada when it warms up. It's probably a much shorter trip for you. :hue:

Yeah, I saw that one the other day. Prices on those things have gone :fullretard:

in the last 5 years. It wasn't too long ago that a clean example could be picked up for between $3500 - $5000.

80's bikes are hawt right now, 90's are next. Now is the time to buy for a chance at :plac:

profit.
