SOMEONE just got cleared by his knee surgeon to start riding again... Lock up your daughters...

I went on a few camping trips, you guys left it at my house. When someone leaves beer in your fridge you don't wait for them to come back and drink it. Same rules apply.

If NonAznTim goes then he will have a spot in the trailer but im not sure if hes going yet. Other than that its open for whoever wants to travel down. I also have the bed of the truck which can fit a bike, maybe two. But then someone would need to take a car down so there would be enough seats.

By the way, you don't need an ADV/DS/Enduro bike to enjoy the event. There are dozens of pre-laid routes and most of them are either all-pavement or can be cut to avoid dirt. If you do have an off-road-capable bike, plenty of routes will make you smile very much.

I saw that go across FB the other day. be a fun adventure...but not sure about on the bike. I'd want to nap halfway thru or risk getting a bad case of the meat sweats

Can you commute the sentence of someone who has yet to stand trial and/or be sentenced?

Mid Ohio schedule around their big races schedule,and they try don't schedule MC right after Indy ,NASCAR and other races when the cars putting tons of rubber down. People should check Midwest track day schedule, first event is 4/30 at NCM.

Buhbye tapa

Gawd, I wish my payment was that low....that's a nice little truckie though I'm flush with vehicles at the moment. You are probably aware of this but have you checked out swap-a-lease? I've never used them but I've seen reports in a few forums that people have had good success with it.

Nice, I enjoyed the brisket I got from there. So much so I took my dad when he was in town for a second go-around. If anyone wants to go, let me know I live like 5 min away. Same with Bubba's, although that's maybe a 20-25 min drive.

Will be there........damn good event and amazing roads to ride.

I'm going to try to make it.

American Sniper Unbroken (movie I heard was shit) No Easy Day I have very narrow reading preferences. If its not military history or some sort of military biography, I probably wont read it. I'll probably shoot for vassili zaitsev's book next.

Also remember that the hipster thing to do is to go where other people arent, and in the case of restaurants/food its where the bad food is.

I'll be there that Thurs-Sun, staying at the 'Wink with another OhioRider (FlyFishJeff). Either riding our Strom and GS down or trailering a Beta and DR for dirtier ventures. It's a great event and fantastic charity. This'll be #3 for me and is a highlight of the season.

Proper Pig Smokehouse in lakewood is legit. Get there close to open to make sure they dont run out of what you want. Still need to make it to Bubba's in Avon.

RayRay's is on the list, it's legit.

Nothing like a good cummins after a little powerstroke.

My number is one digit off from Wal-Mart in Reynoldsburg. I always answer my phone with "This is Jeff", so if you're paying attention you have fair warning that this is not, in fact, Wal-Mart. The people that I hear immediately screaming for managers or whatever I have a LOT of fun with. On the other hand, I've helped out some people too, so that should even things out.

CCNA ICND2. Spoiler alert, the packet dies in the end.

I mean the truck was pretty comfy......... Is it a bus?

I would much rather have a dirt bike than that bagger.

What, Her partner said it was "chute lube"

Got a smoking deal on an Atem suit from @RidersDiscount. Not looking for one anymore. Thanks though.

Most of the anecdotal advice on break-in is based on old wives tales from decades ago before cylinder bore machining and low-friction cylinder wall coating was as advanced as it is today, and before oil chemistry was as good at keeping things lubricated. The old saw about running a motor hard after a rebuild--or from new, for that matter--comes from the old racer mentality that you had to "mate" the cylinder bore to the rings quickly, else once the motor had gone through several heat cycles the rings would never seat properly. Of course, you gotta remember those old racer boys needed to quickly have their engine running smoothly on Friday night after spending all week rebuilding it...and of course, they were also rebuilding it a second and third time later that season! Not a whole lot of time for that 500-1000 miles of gentle break-in. May have been a small kernel of truth to it 50 years ago, but it's as false today as the other old wive's tale that you should never use synthetic oil to break in a new engine, because the oil is "so slippery" that the rings won't ever seat properly. I suppose that must be the reason why Ferrari, BMW, Mercedes and GM's Corvettes are all filled with Mobil 1 synthetic from the factory, because....well, never mind. What do they know? The recommendation to run the engine at mid-RPM with less than sustained full throttle for extended periods while using varying throttle inputs during the first few hundred miles does several things: first, full-throttle acceleration produces lots of upper cylinder pressure, actually pushing the rings AWAY from the cylinder walls allowing unburnt fuel to leak down into the crankcase and dilute the oil, as well as putting excessive loads on rotating parts like main and rod bearings and crankpins which are still wearing in; second, by varying throttle input, you create a partial vacuum in the upper cylinder when you close the throttle plate, which helps pull crankcase oil past the still-seating rings, helping to lubricate the rings, cylinder walls and combustion chamber early in the engine's life. If you like your new bike and want to get the best performance from your new motor, follow the manufacturer's recommendation.

I feel that I will be bringing a really nice bourbon to the gap this year.

A friend of mine actually bought it. It is called Hermans now. Completely gutted the place and re-built it. It is gorgeous now.
