Got Home at 6 after 11hrs and 625 miles. Thanx for the good times guys.

Keeping it tame in the straights is a good rule of thumb to keep the group relatively close together. Plus it keeps the LEOs at bay for the most part, or at the very least, the tickets reasonable. If you are in a group of all experienced and talented riders, the pace tends to pick up in the straights. Glad you guys had a good time.

412 miles down, great way to be welcomed back to Ohio. Nice ride gentleman.

What are your reasons for going into engineering (money, fame, power, chicks - it's always the chicks isn't it)? Where are your realistic targets for what type of job or industry you'd like to put your engineer skills to use? Whats your vision of your ideal 'day on the job'? What are you passionate about? Do you see yourself as an individual contributor (engineer - technical path) your entire life, or do you want to lead engineers (engineeing mgmt), or do you want to lead processes (operations/quality)? Do you want a plant environment or an office/R&D environment or a testing lab environment? Do you need to feel like you've made a difference every day, or do you like solving bigger long term problems which may take 5-10 years where you may have only contributed to the middle 3 years of progress?

And the Epic Trip is over. 4,258 miles. There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home.

Just kidding. It's an 08 GSXr 1000. Still not sure why I bought it, but it's fast and I liked it. Two brothers exhaust with PC5.... Guess that means I'm back on a sport bike.

Jacob your pace is fine. I'd ride again on any route you lead. Speaking of which your route was great today. Thanks for putting it together. The pics of the little ones crawling all over your bike is great.

You should take your own advise! corner one 70 mph straight, corner 2 90 mph straight, corner 3 110 mph sustained until next stop or car. ?

I dunno I've been cooped up in a hospital since last Tuesday and lacking sleep so it was the first thing I could think to even insult about

https://imgur.com/1rycIzL I got to my in-laws house, change, and this is what I see. Future riders every one.

That is an amazing bike. I wanted to set my Yamaha on fire after riding it.

Home as well. Great to meet you, OhiO. It was great to see you again Dirk and glad go on a good ride with you Warren. Brian, not a problem at all man. I talked to OhiO before the ride and opened it up if he wanted to lead. I hate leading because I drag the pace...

Cropduster..... Disclaimer is hitting all the questions that you need to think about. Plus you need to think about how you can do the school work to get the degree. Your statement "I like tearing things apart to see what makes them tick. The who, how, where, what, and why. Figuring out how they work and can I improve them? Make them stronger, lighter, smaller, and so on. This goes for my sports car, my motorcycle, RC car, quad coptor, stuff around the house etc. " reminds me of myself - I followed that into mechanical engineering. - You should also consider what engineering is hot - electrical, robotics, controls, manufacturing and whether you would be up to move to a job. I have done a lot of years in automotive engineering and some were enjoyable and some years sucked. And engineering jobs typically are salary, you own your tasks and need to take the time to get it done on time, even if you need to crack into more than 40 hours. I have done 8 hour days and then some 16 hour days. There are still some good companies and some bad ones. So, you need to step back and soul search and decide if you want to put in the work to get there. If you decide "yes" , dont waste any time getting to school, a degree is the minimum to start. You can PM me if you have any questions....

But it was fast, really fast. Fuckin Race Bike.

There are some in here, a few that are still active on the forum. I'm an ex-mechanical engineer. Left the field because fuck math, have no idea why I even chose it as a profession years ago. I think the determination of not failing made me go through with it once I'd started. It's a lucrative living when you're employed with the right company, which was another barrier I faced in my area. Which field of engineering are you considering?

My theory is the way I ride. I am much more aggressive uphill than down. So I was throttle on between the switchbacks. Going down I was just engine braking in second. So much soother.

Ride safe guys, be good and don't push each other nor the limits

You seem to move along pretty well on the ninja 1k!

Not sure he has balls, but he will surely ban someone. Propagating hate has no limits.

We each had one or two of those. The best was you and the bridge for the Appalacian Trail; "wow, that's really cool" "yes it is" "umm, you can hear me?"

Raced my First MTB race on wednesday night....Had to live up to my nick name (wheelie man) with a wheelie across the line...

Got a chance to finally get out and ride yesterday. This was taken at the damn at Rocky Fork lake in Hillsboro.
