The Suzuki C50 I test road today at Fay Meyers. It was 102f out there and I had a back leather jacket, black helmet and black Sidi boots. But, at least I was in jeans.

Better hot and uncomfortable than covered in road rash, right?  :)

Absolutely, Melina M. ;) I've spent the rest of the afternoon and early evening trying to re-hydrate.

Test ride ... how was the bike itself?

Weather-wise, I've succumbed to textile and mesh jackets. And believe it or not, a honeycombed hard plastic back protector that seems to increase the airflow over my spine.

The ride was ... different. I normally ride a sportbike, so the upright
position with my feet out front took some time getting use to.

As far as I was concerned it was underpowered, but that's a personal
preference as I'm sure smaller people wouldn't have had that problem.

Us old farts with stiffness problems over long rides have an appreciation for that leg position ... I ride a BMW F800 and I've done Los Angeles to Vegas (300 miles) in as long as 7 hours because my legs couldn't take the crotch-rocket crouch.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
