Yikes. I'm not sure how I feel about that one. It's like a cross between a scooter and a Gold Wing.

In that case I submit Heath Ledger. Handsome and dead. Would be significantly more effective in office than the current or previous occupant.

Stupid autocorrect.

SF haul:

I will preface this whole post saying that we don't have a full organizer of the event, and I'm in NEO, so I won't be able to organize this down at the meet spot because I will probably be one of the last to arrive with the NEO group. We will need to find someone who is able to get to the meet spot early and organize so that all goes as smooth as possible. I can help with all the pre-planning prior to the day of the event, but unfortunately not being as close as others, it would be beneficial if we could get some help for the day of the event. ORIGINAL DATE CANCELLED DUE TO RAIN!!!! Date: SUNDAY - May 18, 2014 Rain Date: Sunday - May 18, 2014 All details are subject to change - so please follow up to this thread before the event to verify all details are the same! Meet Place: Hocking Mall Shopping Center ---Hocking Mall St, Logan, OH 43138 Logan shopping mall lot on 664 latitude. 39.54528°, longitude. -82.43083° Time: Meet by 10:30 Start organizing group by 11:00 and kick stand to ride by 11:30 Pre-Ride Meetups: W/SW Rider Meetup NE Rider Meetup Central Rider Meetup NW Rider Meetup (Link TBD) When you arrive we will *hopefully* have areas designated to your group for the ride (i.e. fast, med-fast, med, etc), so please park your bike in the group you wish to ride. This should save some hassle organizing groups later on. Route will be same as last year. http://goo.gl/maps/ZnwBZ The following details are copied and pasted from last year's Epic Ride, organized by Nivin (NinjaDoc). They worked well and we will of modify certain aspects within last years event to make it even better this year! Last year we had close to 75+ riders, which was an incredible turnout, so let's try to get more riders out this year! Request: Be ATGATT if possible, and try and sport an OR t shirt if you have one. Orders for t-shirts will also be possible by PM'ing me a size. (T-shirt request thread - 8$ a shirt) Some etiquette to help us all better as suggested by many riders: • Everyone is responsible for themselves, so ride within your limits. Crashing is not something we want to have happen. We had several incidents last year, some because of bike maintenance and I believe some because they were outside their comfort zone in terms of speed. Ride within your limits and stay safe. Our goal is to have a fun safe day of riding with a bunch who share the same passion. Crashing only ruins that fun, not only for you, but for others as well. • Grab a bite if you want before ride as there wont be lunch stops. • Ideal maximum group size is ten riders with a lead rider and a tail (sweep) rider • These two riders should be interchangeable in skill level so that the sweep rider can evaluate and help the riders in front of them: These two riders need to know the count of how many riders are in their group. The lead rider needs to wait at all stops for the sweep rider to give him a thumb up. • At each stop the leader or sweep rider can switch or at their discretion ask and allow a new formation of the line. • Do not allow passing other riders in same group once the ride has started except at starts. • Passing slow moving vehicles might be needed for the faster group, when doing this each rider makes times and judges it for them self. Dont wait for the group to pass as a whole. At times might have to cross double yellow to pass. • Both group leaders should know the route well and if possible have ridden it prior to event. • Do not allow changes of groups at stops (Unless both ride leaders of both groups are aware of the change and it does not raise the group count to over ten riders. • If a rider has to leave a group early make sure they tell someone in the group • Do not pass except at stops. • If you picked the wrong spot in line of your group ask to change positions at stops or if a rider signals you to pass. • Start the ride with a full tank of gas. • Many folks are planning to grab a bite at the end of the ride, those with time should do it as it will be fun. The unfortunate long haulers will start back to get home before dark. The Groups Always start one group below what you feel you ride. Meaning if you think your fast, start with medium fast group and if you are comfortable move to the fast group during gas break after letting the lead and sweep know. Better to be safe than sorry. Remember we might be riding roads very new to you. Fast: • Usually 70mph on the straight and 25-30 mph over the posted limit of curve. • The people who belong to the group know they belong to this group, they dont think they belong here. • Dont jump in here unless you been riding with such fellows for some time. eg: UP, Midgettod, Hutch, Core rides Medium-Fast: • 65-70mph on the straight and 20-25 over the posted limit opf curve. • This is the usual fast rides some group rides do, still rather fast • Jump in here if you been riding for a while and is comfortable at these paces on most roads Medium: • 65 mph on the straight and 15-20 over the posted limit opf curve. • This is the everyday regular group rides pace, • Jump in here if you been riding for a while and is comfortable at these paces on most roads Slow: • 60 mph or around posted limit on the straight and upto 10 over the posted limit of curve. • This is the a very comfortable yet fun group ride, • Jump in here if you like doing friendly fun rides and also new riders must join here • The last two rides most people rode this group showing zero ego issues and they had most fun, • No ego in both years kept our rides with 0 casuality Cruiser and heavy touring: • All the mammoth bikes and cruisers • They enjoy the road and own the road at their own pace • Made sperate group just in case there is enough numbers • more than free to join any of the above group based on their own preference. If you could please announce if you plan to attend and which group so I can keep an ongoing list. If you plan on bringing someone else from outside of the forums, or those who don't post, please add a +1 for each member, so we can kind of figure out how many groups we will need to plan for.\ Also post if you are willing to sweep or lead so we can get a list for that as well.

Hey, guys. I was doing some research on riding in the Columbus area, and it turns out I made an account on this forum about a year ago. The basics: I'm 22, I ride a 2006 GSX-R 750. I currently live in the sticks, but in very close proximity to some of the best twisties in the state! So, I'm very used to riding alone or with only a few people, and hitting some curvy roads at a spirited pace. Plus, my tires are too soft and too pricey to waste any time riding in a straight line. Anyways, I'll be moving to the Columbus area (most likely Dublin or Hilliard) in late May or early June. From what I see on the interwebz, it seems like a lot of riding in bigger cities involves hooning around on city streets. I'm really hoping that there is more to it than that! So, I came here in hopes of finding a few people that might be familiar with some good twisties to hit that aren't too far from where I'll be living. It's always good to know some local riders who can show you the ropes! Otherwise, I guess I'll just be exploring for a few weeks.

When I was trying to access the video from mobile device it had copy right issues and not viewable, so re uploading with some minor changes soon.

I put in for the vacation day. I will ride out just to say hello. Already got good rubber for the season.

Why not come out and play: http://www.apachebowhunters.com/#!summer-league/c1z0x

St1300 motor in a laid back cruiser style frame with tunes? I'd take it to Wyoming and back.

He's got a bigger rack than paris hilton... it's a start.

Look, if you guys want to go with Matt Damon I am ok with that. I am a very accepting kind of guy.

good lord I've now agreed with you for a 2nd time this week

I built a 4'x4' x10" carpet target couple years ago after getting tired trying to repair foam/ block targets. I also have a third hand bag target that is filled with old clothes. They both work great at stopping arrows with field points. I still have a block target I use for broad heads and for stand practice. I just bought third hand skins over the weekend to build a 3x3 target. I can't decide to do it on a raised platform with a small roof like third hand has done or on castors so it can be moved easily. I like my carpet target especially when practicing long shots and it has lasted a lot of shots from a lot of different bows/speeds but the downside is that it is extremely heavy Sent from my DROID RAZR

Nice choice on that year 10R, beastly bikes.

It's part of the plan. Get everyone to hate the other side so much that they will vote for any steaming pile of poo that runs on 'their' side.

I'd be up for some dirt and gravel roads - not really into tearing up my knobs on pavement all that much though. I'm out for April 9-15 but pretty much open rest of the next month or so.

I love how everyone is arguing party lines even though political corruption runs rampant and gives no fucks about party designation

I've lurked on this forum for ~2 years, and Doc has to be one of the friendliest, giving people I've ever seen in my life. This earth needs more like him. Wish we could do the Elise for mine, ha!

Sounds like you're hot shit. Do any track riding?

Can we crash the redneck/hippie wedding? Sounds fun!

Blake, adam and I will be there Thursday night. Your spot is reserved little buddy.

My new seat and windscreen are going on the bike hopefully today. You can thank me for any upcoming snow.

This is terrible not everyone that rides a big bore bike gets random ass girls knocked up. Some do have restraint. If it was a gsxr you might have a valid point. But your point is null and void. Most kawi riders have some brains.Nice looking 10 btw.

I just realized that unless we get rained on, I won't be able to ride on the 17th. I'm walking the stage to get my CIS Bachelor's degree from U. Akron that day. Sorry. Pray for rain?
