Nice. This is exactly the reason why I wanted to bring my own fork and spoon to the Cleveland show.

OR was born out of CR, so makes sense. I wanted to expand the daily ride forum to it's own section on CR, but nobody agreed with me. So I started OR.

Haha, well played Casper.

I wasn't too impressed this year. Same amount of content, but they condensed the area down. Was tough trying to walk down some of the isles with people stopping to look at snake oil products. Yamaha had some nice 'talent' there. Am I the only one that rode there? I bundled up and ended up not needing to, was an enjoyable ride. A bit of salt to wipe off though.

I just got back from the show. Got to check out a few bikes that I would never get to see locally. Got scanned for a custom Bell helmet with no obligation. Tried on a couple of helmets that IP doesn't have in stock. Ducati won the contest for best booth babes. I didn't have any issues with drunks but it was 3:30 when I left. I don't know if I'll make this a yearly pilgrimage but I'm happy that I went. I took some pictures with my crappy cell phone camera that I will post up later if they came out OK.

Taking three grandkids to Toys R Us is quite the experience.

I'd like to. I still play when I have the time. Other bills just take precedence. I actually just sold my tube rig, I still have my rack setup just in case. We went through a few name changes, I don't play with them anymore I just don't have the time, but they are most recently known as Empty Throne. They're a chillicothe based death metal band. Most of their shows have been in the columbus area but they may be in Cinci a few times this summer. https://emptythrone.bandcamp.com/releases https://www.facebook.com/EmptyThrone I've played for a lot of other groups too, none had any success past playing bars in Huntington. Bluegrass, Country, Progressive Jazz, Death Meetal, lots of stuff. I have a bit of diversity in my musical background.

About to head out to see about getting my first tattoo done. I have some ideas in mind, we'll see what the artist comes up with!

Ok... Rusty has given some great info. That's awesome! However, a few things... "A" Group riders will be evaluated for proposed entry into that group. If you are an expert licensed racer and provide that license at registration, you are permitted to sign up. HOWEVER, you are still being watched and we will bump you down. Point is that no matter what the card says, you have to follow rules... Those that ran "A" last year - you need to run a set number of days in "A" group to be permitted in and sign up the first day. This prevents that one guy in "I" Group that didn't have room and bumped up to "A" that was not filled so they could ride. We are looking at QTY (4) or QTY (5) days to be allowed in to sign. "I" group will be broken down into two different levels. Think Novice/Inter level and Int/Advanced level. This will be based on the number of days that you have participated in our track days at the "I" level. The second level or more advanced "I" rider will include those that may have ridden a1-3 days or so in "A" last year with us and of course, Novice race licensed riders for evaluation. It's pretty simple - you wanna ride "A" group? Get with the "i" instructor, have them follow and lead and such a session. If they feel you are ready, they will talk to the lead in "A" group. That person will assign you an "A" instructor and you will have a session of evaluation before we confirm or deny the advancement. Also, second level "I" riders are eligible for Twilight events. This will give our "A" riders comfort knowing that an "I" rider at Twilights is a rider that has the track time, is a more advanced "I" rider and will be a safe addition to the event. We were getting too many first time "I" riders or those that rode "I" only a few times and were a safety concern mixed with much faster riders. Lap times do not measure everything. So everyone please keep that out of the conversation. Smoothness, consistency, predictability and ability are the measures. If you are upset at the fact that you have to ride "I" instead of the "A" group you rode last year, understand that this is a safety issue. We need these days to be less crash oriented and more fun oriented. Many riders that should be bumped down or even up are based on safety of those around them and themselves. Plus, you will have more fun riding in a group that better suits your own ability. The sessions will be the same, the day will start a little differently as we have some more changes that I do not think we should discuss yet. But, in the end I can promise that we are looking at this like a business. We have a product that sooooo many other companies have available. How do we stack up? We feel that we were slacking and that the quality of the product was dropping. Changes are always hard to take at the outset, but in the end, I think the changes we are discussing are for the better and above all, SAFER!!! Think about this. You make a small error in a golf game with your buddies. Maybe you break a car window or a house window on the course. In this sport, a small error can lead to a resting spot in a pinewood box. Much different. We need to make these changes to prevent that from happening. Plus, the quality of the event and desire to be at these events will increase. See ya out there!!!

Feb. 2010, don't know if it's good or bad but it seems a lot longer than that.

I think that automotive engineers love to fuck with me. I had to take 1/2 of my dash apart to replace a signal relay. What happened to putting that shit someplace accessible without tools.

Bought my kid a car to drive today, damn i feel old. Decent deal on a 2005 Nissan Sentra with high miles but a clean solid car. Out to door with tax and title for $1850. Sad that my 16 year old has a car the same year as my truck.

where the hell is Todd, that's his job.

He just needs a hug. Someone hug the man already.

You're welcome.

At his age, free feels are free feels!

The best way to abuse a masochist is NOT to hit him... :-D

I give you no warning/infraction points and only positive rep. That's gotta piss you off.

Coat check confirmed. I am here.

Bump in honor of the new website design. We need to break it in.

Full garage now. The SV is coming along! The 1125 is back on the road. A new EBR front end and a lot of other goodies. More to come as well.
