I got up, got ready.

Very cold this morning.

I was going to wear another hawaiian shirt, but they're all either too small, or too creased, or missing buttons.

I rode down this morning without issue.

While battling it down the highway, I saw the guy on the bike with the big ape hangers I've seen a couple of times inthe last few weeks.

We had a bit of a race through the traffic, in different lanes, swapping as to who was winning depending on what cages were in the lanes in front of us.

After doing this for a few ks, he pulled up along side me while waiting for some lights (where we didn't fit to lane split the cages), and we had a quick chat.

He took off after that, he picked better lanes than I did.

I got to work, did some work.

I emailed the colo guy to let him know what I've done so far.

I just rang up 8 different bike wreckers, and none have anything like my bike, terrific. I'm stuffed now, I don't know what to do.

The guy yesterday told me he can do a whole exhaust system for $1200, it's tempting, but I'd have to get some stuff to make sure it wouldn't get all stuffed if I drop my bike again.
