Date: SATURDAY - Sept 12, 2015 Rain Date: Sunday - Sept 13. 2015 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: Church of Christ, New Concord OH Maple Ln, New Concord OH Church of Christ parking lot, New Concord OH 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 (Links TBD) Route: https://goo.gl/maps/so6Hh Request: Be ATGATT if possible, and try and sport an OR t shirt if you have one. T-Shirts Another teespring campaign will happen for the Spring T-shirts. I will be posting this within a few days and will run for 2 weeks. This worked well last event with getting everyone the t-shirts so we will continue this way. 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. 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. Group leaders and sweeps 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, Midgettodd, Hutch, Core rides Medium-Fast: 65-70mph on the straight and 20-25 over the posted limit of 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 of 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 up to 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 casualties. 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.

After 5 years and thousands of dollars and who knows how many man hours or utterings of the word 'fuck' in any and all of its incarnations I have finished my opus. 73 cb750k Motor bored to 849cc, high compression pistons, hot cam, hd springs, fully rebuilt head with mild port and polish. Lots of other tricks and whistles including koso gauge, Tec shocks, custom seat, modern electronics, drag bars, bobbed fender, black pearl base coat with titanium pearl mid coat, lots of flat black powdercoating and even some plasti dip. Took it for a ride today. Motor is too much, clutch slips above 3/4 throttle. Front brake caliper needs rebuilt.1 point

Come on now anyone with $75.00 a few spare hrs. and a clean background can get a ccw. After this he wont have a license to drive a car, but can still pack his pistol hanging out of his pocket....Just a matter of time before he looses that license as well, if you ask me. Talks like a thug, look like a thug, act like a thug, passed ccw don't mean outstanding citizen class act guy....1 point

Okay so even though my car was parked in a locked garage, it still fails under collision insurance. My car agent seams to think they will get the OP insurance to pay, even if the son wasn't listed? IDK but hope he's right to save me the $500 up front. The insurance companies have the 1st right to collect from the OP. And let's not forget about all the proper etiquette they used, while in this citation...And there wiliness to share there insurance info and DL. The language factor alone in my book far out weighs the outfit. Ray Charles would of called it the same way.1 point

Dousche would indeed be a really good term if he was white. Unless he looked like a dumb mob pawn, then we might be back to thug.1 point

Thug = baggy pants, gun, possible drug use (failure to maintain clear distance from a structure ;-)) and no insurance. Sure, the CHL later checked out, but the other factors would have made me use that word too.1 point
