I'm sitting here working on the RideForum logo with a LARGE bag of ice on my bum shoulder and a Red Stripe at my side. Not a bad way to finish the day. Got the LC4 all washed up tonight and surveyed the damage from the AR crash and she looks pretty good. After pulling some parts I discovered that the previous owner had installed the Fasst Co. Anti-Vibe, copper bar inserts. Nice! A lot of people complain about this bike being vibey, so these things must work because she's not too bad.
Got a new mirror on the way and getting ready to replace those cheap, plastic brush guards with some Cycra bark busters. If I'm going to keep dropping this thing, I need better protection! The pain in my shoulder is telling me to look at a Thor compression suit too. Damn ditch.
Planning on hitting Southern Missouri for a ride from 10/12 - 10/15 or so. This will be a sight seeing tour to get pictures and research for a story in Ozarks Watch magazine. It won't be a fast ride, but if you want a slow-to-medium paced ride a la "Feasting on Asphalt" style then your welcome to join me. Lots of stops, talking with locals and hopefully some good food. Home base will be Springfield and we'll probably ride my route twice out to West Plains MO and back. Again, it's more about the adventure than the destination.

Greg, I hope that shoulder heals up 100%. Do all the rehab exercises you are supposed to. I and some others wear the SixSixOne Pressure Suit. They also have an "SP2" model, but it is shorter and I believe offers less chest protection. I'm happy with mine.
We discussed some of the upper body armor suits here:

Your ride adventure sounds great. (I like the Feasting on Asphalt show.)
