Im in better shape than Bob and Rich. I could ride all day if it werent for my ankle. I never come from riding because Im tired or sore, but because I cant feel my foot anymore. I move around all day at work.
I have the same problem with my hands, or else I would be able to ride longer. I can run a full 20 minute session with no problem now, before I could only do about 13-15 minutes.
I saw that deal before and wanted to ask you about the soft front.
I was thinking about picking up one set and then get one medium set. I'm sure I can get enough use out of that front to make it worth it. Especially early and late in the season.
Similar, but I HATE coaching in the cold. YOu saying that just reminded me about it.
One thing I learned a long time ago coaching is "your" fastest pace is just as intense as the next dude who is faster, and is just as intense as the dudes who are slower than you too. Doesnt matter if it is ten seconds apart, they are just as "scared" at their fastest as "you" are at your fastest.
But... when I am coaching, they are scared, and tense and running hard, and in turn they are warm. Me? Im fucking FREEZING running off my pace like that, because I am not working up my heart rate and shit.
Every time I read about you flexing, your diet, and your abs, and think about your old avatar you used to have, I picture a cross between Raj from "Van Wilder" and "The situation" :lmao
Every now and again I find myself at an event with a bunch of my friends from Staten Island who fit the Guido profile to some extent.They are pretty hilarious,especially when they dance.I usually spend the night making fun of them,its a good time.
Last soft front I put on was like new and I tore the shit out of it in 1 day. Seems like soft and hard are extremely weather dependent, but the medium works great always.
I think with the Dunlops its like the soft and hard are both best used in the hottest weather, maybe based on track surface? The soft supposedly tear in the cold. You can always call Dunlop and ask.
I figured the softs were just used as like a Q tire when they are trying to set a couple quick fast laps for the grid and would get chewed up on most east coast tracks over race distance.
Oh, def NEVER used helmets. Didnt think boots would be an issue, but had not considered athletes foot. I guess the break in would be specific to their foot too. O well
Used helmets are a definite no no.A couple off years me and a couple of friends went to ride the carts at NJMP,we used their helmets.After we left one of my friends noticed a painful pimple on his forehead that turned into a Staph Infection a couple of days later.
