The dizziness is not due to sinuses, it is due to all the nyquil you shot!

If you get an idea when you'll be there let me know. In church now, we often eat there afterwards, but will come on bike if I can time it right. Thanks.

Yeah, other than my leaky radiator. I made it home without incident though, so it's all good.

Great ride Rhino.... other than the fact that 51 is officially trash. Under construction for real I would advise we put a sticky somewhere of roads to avoid and update it as we find issues and those issues are fixed. Also I updated my rlit but it doubled it. Now I don't mind really but I figured I would say something so someone can fix it.

If it's just a small leak in the radiator fins themselves, I successfully patched mine using JB Weld a few years back on my '08 ZX-10R, which I also took on the track afterwards with no incident, sealed it up perfectly. Just used a toothpick and layered it a few times (letting it cure completely between each buildup).

Did the same with the intercooler fins on my 2006 Golf diesel. JB weld worked great.

The good part of 51. Just after Paluxy all the way till it T's off at 67.

Yeah, MVRider is Pete.

If you're updating the spreadsheet, DD knocked out another RLIT requirement.

Jackasses. I don't know what possesses them to mess with it. Just about the time all the gravel and crap finally dissipates, they start over, it's a fairly regular pattern they've developed for some reason. I've ridden it a lot since July and never saw much of anything wrong with it. There are times when I just go there, and ride back and for 3, 4, 5 times. I will say, the worst part is when you're coming back from 67 toward Paluxy at the wrong time of the afternoon...talk about blinded by the light. :-?

It looks like they are making it wider

Well, I finally drove through there in the Jeep this week, what a mess. But, a little wider won't hurt it too much. I ride it at a lot of different times, and believe it or not, there is actually too much traffic sometimes, always some dually or SUV, so a couple of extra feet may be a good thing. I just hope they get it done soon. Once they do, beware the gravel, they really like spreading it around down this way. It may well be the end of the summer before it's really good to ride again.
