  2. Casper and I went down to the Canal Winchester council meeting to support Pegrams bid to open a first class repair facility in the old Ricart VanLand on 33. All repairs will be performed by his race mechanics. Unlike most local shops, these guys know a thing or two about motorcycles. More details as they become public. http://www.thisweeknews.com/content/stories/canalwinchester/news/2012/01/24/council-oks-conditional-use-permit-for-pegram-shop.html Canal Winchester City Council agreed unanimously last week to uphold a planning commission ruling that grants Larry Pegram a conditional-use permit to open a motorcycle and ATV repair shop. The vote came after a Jan. 17 public hearing, prompted by an appeal of the planning commission decision filed by Anthony LoSchiavo, 98 E. Fairfield St.. That’s just across U.S. Route 33 from the proposed site for the Pegram Racing Motorcycle Service Center at 6270 Bowen Road. Council did add a stipulation that says motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles cannot be tested outside. “Our big concern is with the noise,” LoSchiavo said at the public hearing. “I had the state come out and do a decibel test this summer. The test result said we qualify for a soundwall. We were worried the added motorcycle traffic would make it worse. “If this gentleman operates as he says he’s going to, then I don’t have a problem with that.” Pegram, an American Motorcycle Association Superbike racer and Discovery Channel personality, said he would be open for business by February. “I think his (LoSchiavo’s) real desire is for a soundwall to block out the noise from Route 33,” Pegram said. “I can guarantee that we’ll be very noise-conscious because it isn’t in my best interest, or the interest of motorcycling, for me to aggravate people with noise.” The city planning commission unanimously approved a conditional use for the motorcycle shop at its Dec. 12 meeting, during which LoSchiavo said he was concerned about the potential for noise. Planning and zoning commission chair Mike Vasko said the commission approved the application because members don’t believe noise will be an issue. They also believe the shop would be an improvement over the long-empty Ricart RV business that once operated there and would add to the city’s tax base. “We believe the shop wouldn’t cause undue noise or disturbance to the neighbors,” Vasko said. “The closest neighbors are across (Route) 33, and then there is a tree line and then a day care center before getting to these neighbors. “All of the service work is to be done indoors, per our conditional approval,” he said. Three residents spoke in favor of approving the motorcycle shop, including Shawn Detty “I live within eyeshot of a motocross track right off High Street and nobody complains about that,” Detty said. “I’d love to have this motorcycle business come to Canal Winchester. It’s a small business that wants to come in and do good things for us.” Pegram said he was thankful for the approval and plans to open the doors by February. “We’ll be open for business in the next few weeks,” he said.

  5. I've stated this before but I hate the way a Glock feels in my hand, thankfully I've shot one despite the feeling. I love the way they shoot though and can't find anything else that I shoot better. I also find that the longer length of the G19 conceals the grip of the gun better than the G26 using certain methods of carry. The extra five rounds of capacity is a bonus as well. When looking for a carry piece it's just as important to have an idea about the way you intend to carry it and if that method is available for the firearm you consider purchasing. Don't be surprised if what you think you wanted in both a firearm or holster is completely different after you have lived with them for a while.

  11. I bought it on gunbroker! So far I have WAY to much money wrapped up in this junk, so now I have to finish it. Got a brand new barrel last night from a customer for $60 bucks. Got arrangements made for it all to be shipped to Oregon to go to STS for cerakote. Still not sure what color to do it up in though. I was wondering where it was that it said "Policia P.R." ! Puerto Rico makes sense! Glad its on that side, it wont get covered up by a shell carrier. Just tell a certain bunch in DC that you are part of the Zeta drug cartel and guns just show up at your door.

  19. No, not more street racing. I have not street raced in years and I understand the liability about allowing it to go on. I dont mind being in the minority. Its my opinion and it is what it is . This site used to have so many cool threads that you would be hard pressed to get them all read. Now its maybe 1 or 2 a day because the rest is just fluff.
