Yeah Steak, we had developed a very good partnership.
I just take it a day at a time right now.
I went out to a local sportsbar to watch the game with some of the local sport riders from a facebook group. We watched my 49ers tear up the Rams so that was a good distraction. One of these guys has a has a Buell Firebolt. I missed the chance to get a picture of the GRiSO hanging out with a Firebolt.
Looked like kindred bikes to me.
But I will get another chance at that.

Really sorry for the loss of your dear wife. It didn't occur to me that she was seriously injured in the misshap.

Thank you everybody for your sympathies. As soon as I get fresh tires I can get back to riding.
My rear tire is worn thru to belts and as soon as the dust settles I will rectify that.

Hi DM,
Just read this thread, absolutely shattering news, please accept my sincerest condolences, my thoughts go out to you.

Kindest regards, Tigger.

GRiSO Posts : 1163 Join date : 2013-11-26 Age : 56

Thank you one and all.
We are holding steady and pushing forward.
The worst thing for me right is the front door.
I keep expecting to hear it swing open and it doesn't.
Damn door.

Michael I've been away from the board for a long time, today I came back only to read the news of your loss. There are no words that can convey my sadness. Be well my friend.....

GRiSO Posts : 1163 Join date : 2013-11-26 Age : 56

Yes, yes indeed.
I am doing Ok and we are keeping above water well enough while we get the appropriate coverages taken care of.
So I am not currently getting the GRiSO tires replaced but as soon as everything settles down I will. Smile

GRiSO Posts : 1163 Join date : 2013-11-26 Age : 56

One leg of this dreadful journey is finally over.
We laid Terrie to rest this morning.
Now I get to do all of the paper pushing and heaving and shoving.

I want everyone to know how much I appreciate all of the love and help and support from all of you great guys. Yes, I am including the apriliaforum in that statement too.
I am really floored at how good everyone has been and I can not thank you all enough for the great show of support I have been given.

All my Best

Michael

Holy Moly, missed this thread; not the news one expects or wishes to hear. Sad

So sorry to hear of your loss. Heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Hang in their sir.

Latest news - Finally did one important "return to normalcy" today.
I went back to work. Which is good for me because I was too long around the house and I needed something to distract me.
And I now have a new pair of Q3's. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DM

I think I might try the Q3s next. The Pirelli Rosso II set was a bust. I only got 3700 out of the rear before the belts showed up (mounted a PR3 mid trip) then the Rosso II front started sliding in the turns a thousand miles later (it's a shite set for the heavy GRiSO) which I replaced with a Pilot Power when I got home.

PR4s would be my other choice.

Damn it.
I'm getting my names mixed up.
The local Suzi dealer that changed my tires last recommended
Road Smarts?
PRs?
He did say the #3 was great and lasted a long time and now the #4's are out and his customers haven't racked up enough miles to ear them out yet.
