You can only test mesh gear in the sw.
If you test cold weather gear you are crazy.

Adv riders like to drink.
Adv riders like bacon.
There is always an inmate to correct your grammar.
If you ride you can talk about d-bag drivers all day, but if you are on a bicycle you can not talk about d-bag drivers and should get the hell of the road.
Countersteering questions are answered in one sentence by experienced riders and multiple paragraphs by noobs.
People will look at pictures of dragon fails all day.
