In transit in CDG, looking forward to starting the GT3 and riding in the bay area even with the smoke I guess. These wild fires look really tragic.

Yes, these do get ridden. Ask me how I know.

Oh, and before anyone says I paid too much ($8K MSRP), the Porsche dealer needed to "turn" this item. $3k later, I now own 2 and 4 wheel Porsches.

Honestly, I don't ride enough other current bikes to provide a reliable assessment. Its handling feels good to me, though I'm coming off an old Davidson road bike. My main point in posting this (again?) is that Porsche dealers were required to inventory these bikes and some may still be available at a solid, un-Porsche-like discount. The components alone nearly justify what I paid.

Can’t add to the bike action, but my instant noodle consumption has gone way up during this Covid era.

went with some Tonkotsu Black Garlic Oil ramen today. Not as good as the Kuro ramen at Maru Ichi but pretty tasty.

will probably take the GT3 out to do some shopping at 99 Ranch later today.
