Title: We are in Friction Zone
Post by: LA Mike on May 03, 2011, 06:56:42 AM
The 2011 WCR is listed in the May issue of the Friction Zone pg 13.  Friction Zone is a Motorcycle magazine that is distributed throughout the Western United States, and covers I think 7 states.

Mike, what's with all this reading of articles malarky.
Shouldn't you be frantically striping down your bike, afterall the WCR is but a month away.
Come on, the time is ripe for a new big end or something deep in the unreachable fj zones.
On second thoughts, perhaps you should wait three weeks before starting such a major project.

Do you mean the big nasty ones that can survive in a tank bag for long trips and be really mad when you let them out......?

No, that's the pine cones.  The spiders are  supposed to be small & angry, and very active (jumping, running about, etc.)
