Your one of those guy's who trailer your ST bike to Deals Gap. Don't be dissin my Cock Hauler.

Beer and food, you should be able to get a group of bubby's to knock that out in a weekend. Oh wait that means you'd have to not go to Wayne, my bad.

You're not fooling me! That's not paint. You just smeared playdoh all over the back.

for the love kids.....read the damn date

We have had a lot of great reviews from our nontypical CHL course and an equal amount of requests for advanced classes. Jason and I have worked our asses off and are now certified Defensive Firearms Coaches with I.C.E Training academy. It was a very challenging and frustrating experience that not many people make the cut for. We both agree that we have grown tremendously as instructors and learned a lot about ourselves throughout this whole experience. We are now offering classes from the beginner just getting their CHL to the person who is wanting to hone their skills after attaining their permit. We hope to be here for our fellow Ohio riders and all their needs when it comes to the way of the gun. Like us on Facebook if you haven't already to keep up on the classes that are upcoming. If you don't have Facebook feel free to contact us and we will get you fixed up.

Hey everyone. Just started riding last year. I ride an old Honda (86 Rebel). I think a lot of you guys ride sport bikes... Any cruisers out there? Anyway, I'm around Reynoldsburg...

Wayne won't be until late Aug or Sept. My weekend's are booked until then. I'd be available to work on your deck the first weekend in August.

Thing about knife fights is almost always one person goes to the hospital, the other the morgue....and all in a matter of seconds.

I think the heat and humidity was getting to a lot of people, especially later Sunday. I know of at least 2 people who said they were so exhausted they threw up a little in their mouths/helmets. Just be happy that didn't happen and most of all we all came home safe. A few broken bones is never good, but sounds like they'll be alright. Excited for the next round back at PIRC to see if I can improve my times or at least keep them consistent. And Hollywood get that bike fixed! Let me know if I can help.

Lol...7 yr old thread...

learn? here? I hope you wanted to learn about why Obama is the antichrist and how much Harleys suck. welcome. This place really is pretty cool if you can see through the madness

It appears we have a new grave digger.....

I just applied this to a raised portion of my concrete patio last week. It's $69 for about 3 gallons and it's as thick as cake batter. You power-wash and apply it thick with a special roller, ideally using a solvent first to boil out any oils so it can really grip. So far I like it but we'll see how it hold up to winter. Anyway... ;-)

Check the reviews, that stuff is utter shit. I looked into it...one $60 can only covers like 35-40 sq. I've read reviews of it lasting one season, then shattering over the winter. One guy had the stuff get partially dissolved by rain water. Back to concrete pricing....or just turn this thread into whatever YOU want to talk about because = ORDN.

Ron I was glad to see you come out to the track to hang with us, and glad to see you decided to stay the night and not drive home after polishing off that bottle. I felt pretty good most of the day even though I didn't place very well in the 750 or the first 600. Met my goal of getting into the 2's and then exceeded it with a new personal best of 1:01.738. Had a nice battle going back and forth with Will in the mini 20, but he got the best of me in the end. Some crazy lap traffic held me up for a lap, and by that point there was no catching back up. As always, great weekend and can't wait to do it again!

The MSF course will be a breeze, and you will learn a lot. But, your learning doesn't stop there. They make you "Parking Lot" safe. It's up to you to apply what they teach you, on the streets. Search Google for riding tips and safe practices, then ride with some experienced riders. You will learn a lot just riding with others. The Buell Blast and the Suzuki GS 500 are both great starter bikes. You don't need to upgrade from them, but will probably want to after riding for two or three years, and once you've become a better rider. Don't be in a hurry to get a hotter bike. It's all about the journey. The Kawasaki Ninja 250, and the newer 300 are both great bikes to start with, and also highly recommended. Many others will tell you you'll be fine starting on a 600 if you keep your senses about you. The 600's are much closer to racing bikes than an auto off the showroom floor is to a race car. Those things will kill you before you can blink if you are careless and overly confident. Do yourself a favor and start on something similar to what I suggested, for the first couple of years. They will also be much cheaper to insure. For example, my 500 is a couple hundred a year. The Ninja 1000 would cost me $750 a year, and I'm no young pup. Before I forget, start on a used bike. You are going to find your first bike laying on it's side on the road or parking lot, maybe more than once. It happens. Don't scuff up a bike you are making payments on. Dents, scuffs and scrapes, and broken plastic happens. We all have had to pick up a bike from the ground at one time or another. For any that haven't, they haven't been riding long enough. Get a bike with some wear so that you won't cry when you scratch it. The less plastic, the better, unless you just want to learn how to fix it later. How do I know? Don't ask. One more thing. Post a new question, asking about riding gear for a beginner, helmet, pants, jacket, gloves, etc. You will get professional level advice from those who have forgotten more, than I will ever know. . . .

Congrats! I will talk to you soon

You're just jealous your bike isn't the coolest looking one now... Those blue wheels are pure AWESOMENESS!!

Sorry to hear, Aaron. I hope they mend faster than expected. There have been so many bikes on the roads these last few weeks .... so many chances for things to go wrong .... how quickly we dismiss that death looms closely for motorcycle riders. With little consideration we convince ourselves of the myth that our skills and equipment will save us from disaster, which too often results from nothing more than bad luck or from other people's poor decisions.

Now she's all purdy and clean and mechanically sound

'30s hot rod. Just throwing that out. Instanly makes you cooler than everyone driving the cars you're looking at, and can be found in your price range.

No matter how good you are, how good your bike is or how good conditions are things like this will happen. My first few times dropping the bike didn't affect me much, but last year when I broke my shoulder definitely got me. What most people will probably say is just keep going. The truth is once you know what it's like to go down you'll never un-know it, but if you do your best to just carry right on I think the trauma will be lessened. I had to wear a sling 24/7 for two months after I broke my shoulder, but the instant I could lift my hand to the throttle I was out again. I'm glad I did because I recovered just fine and if I hadn't just gotten right back in the saddle I may never have ridden again.

Welcome to the site! We have a few cruisers. You can still ride with the sport bikes tho!!!

Not to thread-jack much....but whats the word on FJR's? I've been looking at Sport-Tour styles for the Gf and I also. Seat/comfort, suggested upgrades etc?
