Yeah. Sure.

Yeah. Sure.

Went for a little ride today, the warmest day of the coming week. I wish the traffic had been lighter (and that I'd dressed warmer) but all-in-all it was a good day. Just me and the SV.

What were the temps? I'm curious since you mentioned it. Or were you just underdressed. I think that's the biggest mistake we make as riders this time of year. Overestimating the feel of the temps!

It was mid 80s in Denver, but once I got up into them thar hills the temperatures dropped. Not only was I wearing a very thin t-shirt under my jacket, but I had my summer (mesh) gloves on. 

While it wasn't necessarily cold, at speeds it was chillier than I was expecting.

Ya see? That's exactly what I'm talking about. We tend to forget that temps in other areas can surprise us. And I imagine on a sport bike (with little to no storage) that bringing extra gear is something you have to think about in advance.

Usually. If I know I'm hitting elevation I'll bring my tankbag and a shirt or sweater or something, but yeah, usually sportbikes don't have the extra storage. We just have to tough it up.

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. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

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
