Technically, 215 seems to end at Oark, heading east from there it turns into 5440, Then it turns to gravel at Catalpa. Another nice little lunch stop.

This particular Cullpepper's is the "home bar" of a co-worker of mine. He confirms the ownership is separate from the management of the restaurant. And the ownership isn't interested in improving the actual building. They PAID someone to design that metal wall motif. It's supposed to make it look industrial-like.

Ol' Shadetree Surgeon. He's quite the character. Rides an interesting assortment of bikes too.

Guess I'll have to monitor my adult beverage intake the night before then, lol I should be in for the new date.

I've been happy with my Knox Covert gloves. No insulated liner, but a bonded waterproof layer behind the true leather chassis, and excellent armor. A smaller cuff that fits very well under the sleeves of my jacket. Before these I had a pair of Racer MutiTops. They lasted for many years. Though, the current version does not have palm sliders, which I think are required protection these days.

Time to sign up then I guess! Join us, be one of us. Resistance is futile.

Might be a good thing to avoid this weekend anyway. So far, the weather is looking less than hospitable for motorcycling. I'd still like to do the ride, because I haven't been to the place suggested yet. And, you know, ride to eat, eat to ride!

No one has asked him what tire pressures he was running. He said it's a year old tire, so it's not an old tire. Strange that someone mounted a PR4 GT to an S1000. Seems a bit overkill. A regular PR4 would have worked fine.

Thanks for letting me tag along after Potosi. Glad I caught up to you, it was a good day!

The original Hans Muth designed Katana was indeed a full blown sport bike for it's era. The early 80's superbikes had handlebars, not clip ons. Many raced them with some success. Even the next gen "Jelly Mold" Katanas were still being thrashed for a few years. The 600 Hurricane put an end to their competitiveness. Then they became the Can-o-tuna we all loved to hate, but they got a lot of people into sportbike riding. Hans Muth also designed the BMW R65LS from the same era.

Should be in.
