Looks to be a wet ride  :wink: :icon_mrgreen:

I'm a (relatively) new rider too! Yay! I've logged about 1000 miles on my 2002 GS500 over the past few months...

I've seen a few around town. One of my twins at Planet Granite a few months back.  :thumb:

If the weather is nice next weekend, shall we ride?

It was the best, most fun ride I've had yet.  The weather started off beautiful and sunny, and then it rained right after lunch, about 2ish.  I was the only one wearing a rainsuit.  :icon_mrgreen:

I'll be outta town for a wedding next weekend, and it's supposed to rain Thursday-Friday, but soon (I still have to fix my brother's 750 Maxim).
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

Really? Which PG do you go to? I'm at the Sunnyvale PG a 2 - 3 times a week, but I haven't seen a GS (E or F) there before.

Welcome!  :cheers:

Sup fellow bay area riders, another GS rider over here in Milpitas. I recently joined BARF too, We should get a GS ride going one of these days. Just picked up my 2005 GSF from a buddy at a killer deal haven't ridden much in the past few years, so I'm looking to shake the cob webs off!

Nice! I haven't gotten up there yet, but I've seen the pics and heard that the new gym is amazing! Maybe this'll be the perfect excuse to go see it in person.  :)

What do you climb? Bouldering or toproping/leading?

moditup

I really like the bouldering there, but if my schedules line up I top rope with my partner. I've been lagging on getting my lead cert... Of course, I don't like going there when it rains, so I haven't been too consistently recently. Tomorrow is supposed to be dry so I'll be there then!  :thumb:

You should totally get lead certified, but it does make it harder to find a climbing buddy when you want to lead. The level of trust you have to have is exponentially higher than when toproping. You could get dropped faster than a hot baked potato.  :icon_eek:

Have a great time tomorrow and ride safe!  :thumb:

Let's do it! Vrroooooom

Forecast said rain today, so I bussed it to school, but when I left my apartment I immediately regretted my decision. Boo to not being able to see the sky from my bedroom.
