Bring it to me. I have a quad I'm doing a rebuild on in the garage right now but I can make room for ya. I'll do it for $350 and I'm a hell of a lot closer than Coshocton.

Top end noise usually isn't that expensive to fix. It's normal to find some sediment in oil, cam chain tensioner and sliders are plastic and do wear. If it is the tensioner it's not that bad of a job, will need new tensioner guts, head gasket, and an afternoon or two. Noise could also be valve lash, tho I'm pretty sure that motor is shim under bucket, which don't usually go out of whack, at least not in 20k miles. Other possibilities are wrist pins or piston slap but I seriously doubt it, those motors are built pretty well. Main thing is to not panic, anything mechanical can be fixed and engines are surprisingly simple inside once you get past the initial anxiety of the unknown.

What if I don't own a black bike? Can I still go?

Date is officially June 12th, most peeps are doing the 5 day trip. Thursday through Monday. Official countdown clock: http://tinyurl.com/kyd4dpx Five day trip: Thursday departure, apx. 1043 miles to Chamberlain, SD. 15.5 hours plus stops. http://goo.gl/maps/zdvmD Friday, Mt.

June 12: Quality Inn 100 Highway 16, Oacoma, SD, US http://tinyurl.com/ofrdans Friday June 13 SUPER 8 STURGIS 2600 Whitewood Service Rd., I-90 Exit 30, Sturgis, SD 57785 US http://tinyurl.com/n89koox Sat. June 14 SUPER 8 MURDO 604 E 5th, 1-90 Exit 192, Murdo, SD 57559-0220 US http://tinyurl.com/nu9wkdd Sun. June 15 Still pondering where to stop. I would like to get past Chicago to avoid Monday morning rush. Might just wing it and grab something as we go along. MAKE SURE THE RIGHT DATES ARE SELECTED AND THE RIGHT HOTEL. THE LINKS ARE GOOFY. STURGIS MICHIGAN MAY COME UP FOR EXAMPLE. We will meet at the Service Plaza on the Ohio turnpike just west of I 77 at mile marker 170.1 Be there, gassed up and ready to roll at 4:30 AM. We will pick up Earache at the Petro Truckstop at exit 357 on I 69. That is one exit north of the Indiana turnpike and just a few hundred feet east of I 69 on N. Baker Rd. Our Cleveland group should arrive there at 7:30 AM. Outbound we take the southern route to avoid Thursday morning Chicago traffic. Homeward we take the northern route for Kringles at Mars Castle near Kenosha Wi Rules of engagement (subject to updating after group input) 1) Break downs. We are f'ing bikers riding together. If someone's stuff breaks we will stay there until that rider dismisses us...and really means it. a) You are expected to have a road worthy bike and the financial ability to get yourself out of trouble. If that means renting a U-Haul and buying wood for a ramp then so be it. We will let you ride bitch to the U-Haul store and help you build a ramp of course. Hint: Trip Interruption insurance is like 15 bucks a year. 2) We will speed, sometimes a little (Illinois) and sometimes more, but not insane. Expect 7-10 over most of the time. I need to do more research on the limits and cops west of Illinois. 3) Gas stops will be 100 to 125 but will be very quick with an extended lunch stop. 4) There will be no drama between riders, or I will leave you on the side of the freeway. I have done that, but only once. I don't do drama. I will do things that will annoy you, you will do things that annoy me. Tough, get over it. 5) Be on time each day at the start. That will annoy me and I won't get over it. Going for sure on a 5 day trip: HeavyDuty, Me, Connie14, Al Z. Heimer +1, PhilD'oh!, 2talltim Mrs. Tonik approved so non-Cleveland peeps can bunk at our house on Wednesday night if they wanted to leave Thursday with the main group.

Isaac tell u what I'll trade u a shit filled baby diaper for your gummy bears. Also, car is sold! Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

well that's unusual

Every day of my life too. I agree, its ok enough when someone just makes assumptions unless they're trying to screw me over. I've embarrassed a few mechanics who have tried to trick me into expensive repairs that I didn't need. oh, traditional gender roles, lol. I'm gonna go do the laundry now.

I think I have made it clear that I hate everything. However the Advanced course was pretty awesome.

What do you know about the sprocket? If you have the chain type..520, 525, 530 Front and rear sprocket size (number of teeth) We can help! Not sure where you are located but there has to be a board member close who will assist with the installation and teach you how this process works. I highly recommend replacing your chain and sprockets at the same time. I would also use a steel rear sprocket, as there is no benifit to using aluminum on the street, other than buying more sprockets.

just invite a bunch of us over. We will gladly test-ride your bike for a few hours, then stand around drinking beer while we listen to the bike idle in your driveway and give our best guesses as to what might be causing it

^ great feature. It's not new content to me if I've already read it. Helps me remember which crap I've already read and if I see it again it means there's a new response I haven't read

You are so buff.

Why, why, why would you not wear a helmet? I'm sorry this happened. I'm sorry every time this happens.

Less than 5 min. with bears on your heels

You are welcome! Let me know when works best for you, I can bring them with me to my shop in Gahanna tomorrow and you can pick up whenever or I can set outside the house in Reynoldsburg if that's easier.

We'll there's not that many of you, but around here we like females on sportbikes.

The "better" the cigar the nastier it is.

First cutting report, this mower kicks ass!. 3.5 hours on the clock to do what took me 7 - 8 in the past. The cut quality is amazing and the underside of the deck was 95% clean after cutting grass that was between 7- 10 inches tall. It came with a full flotation seat, very similar to air ride seats in semi's, that is adjustable to your weight. It makes the ride very comfortable for a yard that has some rough spots.

They only like those British chaps

5 minute walk amongst the bears.

I posted that on their facebook page in 2012. Got called all sorts of racist names.

Yeah, stay calm for now. An engine that is running with strange noises is still running. That means nothing vital has failed. Yet. It's easy for me to armchair quarterback this and tell you to pull the motor, crack the cases, and inspect everything... But you're probably safer starting small. Still, if you can take it apart, I'm sure someone here can help you get it back together!

Needs more close up video of the stater girl

I knew it was a totally different design, thus my comment; "A new awesome rotary engine with new awesome suck is introduced every once in awhile.". So yes, my opinion still stands.

Cumberland Falls is awesome, but I heard last year it nearly dried up. After all our spring storms though I'm sure its full and flowing. This was taken back in '04 or so.... Time is getting close for y'all......hoping for great weather and a safe ride for one and all.

Make sure you're in gear while staging, then make sure you don't loop your bike in the first 15 feet.

Ride down with the MPG ask Dieing Shadow it'll be an experiance. 6/5/14 breakfast and then we bust it down south, dinner at the Village. ST bikes eat up the slab.

Drill the screws out or attack it with a saws all. Either way, get that magnet and run thru the oil to see if you have a little metal or a lot.

Not being called what it actually is or was by CNN......imagine that.

Midget hookers. Duh! Mexi-midgets maybe?

Passed the MSF evaluation with 0 points (which is the best one can do) and got my endorsement yesterday

Here ya go all. I took a few snap shots with my phone. Not as nice as Dan's of course, but i figured i would share them with everyone anyway. I tried to get a pic of each group at the start and a few at the gas stop. I had a great time. Hope we can do this again in the fall!!

The newer stuff really doesn't do anything for me. I'd probably find a mint low mileage previous generation Vmax. The other 5K would go for a old Kawasaki Eliminator 900...

Damn Issac you're beginning to soften up a bit on hogs..

You haven't got your Redwings yet...

Those flags pale in comparrison to some of the women I see on the back of Harleys. "drag wise"
