Yea, it's about 2000 miles south east of the Harley plant in India.

Advance only had 12 riders when I signed up in the morning and it felt like less on track. Beautiful day with tons of open track. Wish I would have known about the timer, I have a GPS that you could have borrowed for the day. Yep, they are starting to do a gear tech as well as bike tech. Rusty gave me shit about my duct taped boot soles, but I agree they are a half assed temporary repair that needs attention. I'm kind of surprised about the 2 piece, if it is good condition and a full zipper, I would have thought it would be fine for intermediate??? I'll say I looooooove my RST I picked up from Riders Discount, think they were about sold out of their closeouts though. Couple views of the last session for now, screwed up the editing and sequencing of the first one......also didn't realize the camera was set to narrow field of view so it is a little different. The second video turned out way better than I anticipated, I'll be using that view again

Should have made this decision a week ago and rode down to Vintage Days at Mid-O. 75% of your nationwide perspective buyers were there looking to purchase.

listen, a simple "I wanna keep fucking monica belluci" would have sufficed.

If you have to return somthing just say there is somthing wrong with it and you don't have to pay postage.

I had a great time racing at Mid O over Vintage Days. Let's just say the fast guys schooled me a bit... While walking around on Sunday, I spied Wes Cooley's superbike in the pit lane, with Wes sitting there getting ready to ride a few laps of honor. As I was attempting to take a few pics through the chain link fence, one of the guys down on pit lane said, "come on down." So headed down and had a few moments conversation with Wes, a really decent guy. He had a really bad accident in 1985 and still showed some signs of the injuries. We got to taking taking pictures of his bike and he graciously offered to have one taken of the two of us. The bike sounded glorious going down the front straight. There were several Japanese fellows there as well who came over from Japan. One spoke some english and relayed to me that one of them was the former Kawasaki Z-1 lead designer and had the serial #1 of the original Eddie Lawson replica. They got a huge kick out of Wes's old bike and knew a great deal about Pops Yoshimura. Great Fun ....

dunno what the big deal is, just have pauly do it.

Okay I'm officially back bitches. Even though the Mod-o-saurus unbanned me yesterday I wanted to be a good sport and did a self imposed 24 ban to serve the entire 48 hour that I agreed to when I entered the contest. And yes I discovered the bug and it was purely by mistake and if the site were in any kind of danger or compromised in any way I would have immediately contacted Ben to tell him what I knew. BUT... opportunities to get under @Tonik's skin don't come around often and I wanted rub it in a little bit before the gig was up. Which I had full confidence in him that he would figure it out on his own. But I knew it was just eating at him till it was resolved so, mission accomplished.

As tonic would say, FJR mods lock up the thread /

A pic from the Deals Gap Overlook. Not a single person there. 6am heading home from the Gap Trip.

This thread has nearly as much "ghey" as the "Guess what bike I just bought" threads. Go buy something that makes you happy and then post a pic!

Your VFR? It's more mine than yours at this point. And neither of us own it.

Ok, this just went epic. Instead of points the grand prize will be driving the Tesla. Tesla or BAN!!

Let's make this interesting in the spirit of recent inexplicably interesting sweepstakes of bannings or forum points: everyone make their singular make-model suggestions and tonik has to test ride them. Regardless of what he buys, he picks the top three and doles out forum points accordingly. Everyone else gets banned for a week. Ducati multistrada will get a podium spot; write it in, bitches.

Yes, it uses a plug in. Tapatalk hijacks all links posted via TapaTalk and I believe images and uses a url shortener of shorts so that when I view a pic you post with tapatalk or click a link you posted I end up getting one of their bullshit cookies and end up in their bullshit tracking system. The original developer is still with Tapatalk, he is a real dick head. He sold it and his soul to some investment firm that is now focused on monetizing it and generating cash. Part of my hatred is I bought the full version prior to him selling out, so I should be exempt from their shenanigans, but am not. I love Tim to death, in a non-homo way, but If I owned this place I would get rid of that crap in a heartbeat.

Dicks and tits and dicks and tits and dicks and tits and ass and pussy

There are 100's of makers and opinions on who makes the best. What you need to know. 1) buy mil spec 2) don't buy a poly lower 3) don't take opinions from your coworker based on his hours of playing COD 4) because it costs more doesn't make it better 5) you don't absolutely have to have a dust cover and forward assist like your 395 pound neighbor that thinks he's a tactical operator says 6) no matter who's name is stamped on the lower and other parts they're all made in the same places. There's only a handful of factories that make lowers and bolt carriers and such. They just stamp names on them. Barrel length is decided by what you want to do with it. 16" is standard and a good do all length. You want long range get longer. I prefer 10". Stock, Grip and Forend are personal preference. Find what you like. I prefer Magpul stock and Forend and an Ergo grip Sights and optics are also personal preference. I use magpul flip sights and a Lucid optic. You just want an entry level play rifle to take to range and keep around the house, any off the shelf AR will work. You want one your way, building one is pretty easy. PSA offers many good combinations and very good prices for a good do all standard rifle. Go to the store and gun shows, handle them all and find the the things you like and dislike and go from there. I can order anything you want or build one for you from the parts you prefer also.

Ok, it is time for round two incorporating the things we learned from the previous contest. Pay attention, you may get banned. Up for grabs is 10K in points, or a 48 hour ban. Everyone that enters will get a prize. People that guess the number wrong will get banned for 48 hours. People that guess the number right will get their share of the 10K. If two people get the number right, they each get 5K each. If 10 people get the number right they each get 1K each. If you are the only one to get the correct number you get the full 10K and will be able to get elite Supporter status for free!! As many of you know I am very particular about how clean and shiny my bike is. Those that have traveled with me have seen me out at 6AM cleaning the bugs off my bike and making the chrome shine. So the question is, on my recent 10 day Colorado trip how many times did I get on the bike and drive to a car wash and fully wash the bike. Hint: I am pretty sure I washed it more times on this trip than @OsuMj has washed her bike this entire season. 1) You may only guess once. If you guess more than once only your first guess will count. 2) You may post and not be entered in the contest, as long as your post does not contain a guess. 3) Contest ends Saturday afternoon 7/9. Bannings will be immediate at that time. You win, and you win, and you win!!! Everybody wins!!!

The Starbucks hate just sticks on them by ASSociation.

Yea, well my bike is made by young Japanese chicks dressed in kimonos with no underwear, small perky breasts and hairy sideways vaginas.

Kentucky Adventure Trail Ohio Hocking Hills

tldr

I've never paid a dime to send back anything. Maybe it's a prime perk

Ordered a set of Ohlins last Thursday for a good discount & it arrived today. Mikes a stand up dude. He needs more business from OR folks.

Yup a new one

Looks like this is going to be a New England trip leaving Monday the 25th, Dan is trying to get time off work to go but he is unsure if he can. Still working out the details but I want to ride to the Utica NY and checking out Allegeny NF and the Finger Lake/ Glen area on day one avoiding most freeway once out of Ohio. Day 2 will be through the Adirondack Mountains, ferry crossing over lake Champlain head south through the green mountains and make my way over to Lincoln, NH where I want to stay at least 2 nights. Day 3 will be exploring the White mountain range that will include going up Mount Washington. Day 4 will be dipping in to Maine and making my way down to Portland where I would like to check out 2 or Maine's oldest light houses.(one of which you have to take a boat out the island). Day 5 will be headed back west avoiding most freeways and cutting through the Catkills Mountains. Day 6 will be most likely slabbing it back to the home front. Most hotels are $70 on average if I book ahead of time with my discount(if dan can't go I can split with someone else) and I'm thinking between 2500 to 3000 miles total trip in 6 days.

Having worked on a ducati monster I will say that they were designed by a satist. Having rode on a monster I will say they were designed by a satist with a death wish.

They are doing construction outside my office on campus. They closed both side walks lol

Jim, I have a 2013 Kaw Z1000 and a 2014 Suzuki DL1000 Adv. You are welcome to ride down here to Hocking Hills on your couch and we can take them both out for a ride and this will give you a little information on your next choice of bikes. You may be surprised how versatile the V-Strom is. Both have been upgraded and breathed on slightly but only for comfort and drive-ability. You will have to bring Donuts. PM me for further information if needed. Brian

Maybe we should let this one go. Dude lost his bike, soon his pool table and all his man cave stuff will be gone. All he has now is poo filled diapers. It would be the humane thing to do.

I got 16 LED bulbs for $20....best LED bulb deal I've seen yet

It was good seeing the regulars out there and meeting some new folks. @jhughes - Sorry we didn't have time to hangout more @ludwb675 - It was nice to put a face with the name. Good to see you and Dave. @RHill - Thanks for the feedback on my lines, and the 1/2 lap tow until I couldn't see you anymore

Just don't get caught dead watching Harry Potter while being 'chauffeured' Too soon?

Genius. I will make a new thread. Now that is a great contest idea.

Will hopefully fund the purchase of an 07 vfr800. And yes, group rides for sure, but first I gotta sell this thing, so share it far and wide.

Those are the rules, well done sir. I would make another account and give myself neg rep also but that is against the rules.

Oh I bet you do.

Picked up the new ride this afternoon. So far I really like it. I can't wait to get some break in miles on it so that I can give it hell. Felt good on the ride home. When I got home my wife took one look at it and said "How old are we?" LOL. She didn't complain when I took her for a spin around the hood though.

Only as a leftover with big discounts. The press murdered it because it's hard to categorize. It's biggest flaw was the $16k msrp. Got mine with bags for $7k (slightly used). Not 1 regret. The big v4 is stupid good. It was perfect for the gap trip.

putting this one out there because every guy can sympathize

make your son buy you a fully kitted out multistrada so you can mock pauly more.

Not just saying it because I have one...but the VFR1200 is very tough to beat if you need ride distance to get to the twisties and want to go fast once you get there. There really aren't any other bikes I would rather own right now. I personally don't think the VFR800 is as capable (I haven't ridden the Gen 8 though).

They are bad and kill people. They should be banned. Oh wait, not a single one of my AR's has ever hurt anyone. Actually they spend most of their lives sleeping in my safes. There are too many variables here. What will main purpose be? My big things I stay away from are anything non mil and carbon/composite. I only want me some cold metal. MP, Ruger, Rock, POF, a ton of others are all fine.

Then again I'm finding hilarious that he can't post and I can. And he will be at work the next couple days working 12 hours with out Ohio Riders. I know it's driving him crazy.

Thanks for the post up, glad we could get you taken care of on this!

This is interesting. BLM leader takes shoot or dont shoot test and either dies or shoots unarmed people.

Hey Niv, you used to live around here. You KNOW its rather boring (except Gingerman or Grattan) in terms of "Twisties". Anyone would be doing the same thing as me . . . well I guess not cuz I'm spread the word around to my fellow Michigan riders. So far NONE have said they are going to JOIN ME on this trip! My PASSION for Riding will never die, no matter the where,when,how's!

Does sitting in the pits between sessions on the track count for this thread? First track day on my Ducati 749.
