A motorcycle fit assessment? Do tell! (but... please make sure that the suspension work is done by a qualified race shop - this stuff is calculus-heavy and not for the shadetree mechanic, there's a lot more to it than bolting in doglegs and dropping the forks in the triple tree - )



I'm grateful for the fish who gave its life for my dinner tonight.

I'm grateful for a reasonably safe day for everyone at the racetrack.

I'm grateful for everyone who spends their time putting on the show.

Oooh, no, I don't do any wrenching! I look at the muscle recruitment and the posture and skeletal positioning, then say "Hmm, here's what's happening now, here's what would likely happen if your mechanic moved this piece." and then I send the rider to their mechanic with my suggestions.

I know biomechanics, but not bike mechanisms!

Oooh, no, I don't do any wrenching!

I didn't really think you would, I don't know why I said that except for too many glasses of wine and a persistent annoyance with shops who sell and install lowering kits without any regard for how it affects the bike's handling

But I'm intrigued by what your fitment entails. More by PM so we don't hijack this thread any further

Today I'm grateful for:

- good friends who manage to see what's important and forgive perceived but not implied slights (you're a sensitive idiot but I like you anyway)
- other good friends who are throwing a much longed for party tonight (whoopie!)
- yet other good friends who, literally, give me (lend me) the clothes off their backs so I can go to said party in style (thanks Ingrid sweetie )

and of course the fact that it's Friday and I still love my workplace.

I'm grateful for a nice dry roof over my head.

And dear friends who appreciate me.

Today I'm grateful that

--I could get in a long ride outside, despite the rain

--I have a coworker who is generous in complimenting my work

--I have a good book and some dark chocolate covered blueberries to get me through a rainy Saturday!

I'm grateful for having time to do as I please.

I'm grateful that my new yoga teacher offers challenging variations (and gives those little massages!).

I'm grateful for finding Clarissa Pinkola Estés's column on ncronline (whence the lovely blessing that I'm using for my sig line).

I'm grateful that our Wednesday night ride leader has reconsidered his resignation and will lead us for another year, woo-hoo!

I'm grateful for the smell of line-dried bed linens.
