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.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

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
