Y'all gonna end up at a KOA in Indiana.

Dosa Corner in Columbus. Its South Indian, what I've had was not crazy spicy, but I love Indian food more than anything else and may have a different idea of spice. Went to an Indian friends wedding a couple years ago. Was one of six white people in a 300+ person two day party. Everyone asked if I was able to eat ok, best food at a wedding ever. Only one thing, which I'm pretty sure was 90% salt, didn't line up with me. Mmmm... so good.

Hello OR Fam, long time I been lurking unable to quit. But this has been the longest stint I been away from active riding. Almost 1.5yrs without any active miles on a bike. It doesn’t sound like much but for me it was a long time Usually I was able to go only like 3-4 months at best before relapsing. Well jerry not around anymore makes a difference too. This last January I was looking through old footage of our rides , then moved to OR group rides , epic rides and lots of other hours and hours of clips I have stored. And after hours and days of indulging in these I was starting to miss it. Still I tried to fight as much as possible, but the cycle trader app appeared back on phone, Craigslist app is always open on browser. And finally the nail in deaddiction coffin was when wife confessed she actually missed the two up trips we used to do a lot before becoming parents. And possibly wanting to start riding short trips again. And by Feb I was done and then started visiting showrooms to just watch from a distance. But it was like diabetic in a candy shop. In short back to my old ways I guess, with some difference. Mostly will be sticking to two up rides with better half to short stop destinations. Will try to avoid those crazy adrenaline rushes. Haha So guess what stupid OCD decision making I made. Wanted to keep the budget within price of previous toys. Don’t like the concept of excess spending or debt on toys. No more two bikes at same time. Clean simple bike Something I will be acting sane and can do two ups etc. I always said statistically we should all quit while we are on good side of the equation. Our bad day and number slot might just be around the corner. But gambling with 2 wheel is just soooo addictive. I will post as soon as someone makes the right call which is highly highly likely. In the unlikely scenario no one guesses right will post answer before I page thread finishes. No more dragging on like last time. If some one makes ales extremely good correct guess of year/ make/ model / the first right guy wins 25$ amazon gift card. Always the first guess only counted This is an act of repentance that I wanted to do since the very first “guess bike shitty” trend. disclaimer : Andy and jacob are dq from playing since they caught me red handed snooping around my top few choices. Don’t txt and give away the answer to the Asian as well Edit: sorry for large txt wall, but it’s winter might as well just just start the mental Moto engine to warm it up. I am getting pumped just like first time I was on here hehe

I got wet once while riding with Helmutt on the 1st day.....🤔 Let me try this again.... It rained on us for a few minutes the first day.....

SMH10A, the one that plugs into a BELL helmet. Worked with my old phone, but the old Android phone wasn't up to taking many voice commands over bluetooth. Still had to push buttons. Did not get the model that has an mp3 input jack wired in, but have read that the input jack breaks and fails way too easy. New Android phone doesn't seem to have voice command problems. I installed the matching helmet speakers. Did not see the problems with volume that I had read about. Loud enough I'm using earbuds for mp3 player with them when I want to. I suspect might not hear well at higher freeway speeds, but nothing ever did. Have not tried bluetooth to my TomTom navigation yet. Navigation apps on the phone seem to be usable over bluetooth. Have not tried bike to bike pairing. edit: Battery charge probably not good enough for long rides and trips. Plan on having USB charging available on your bike.

Sena Have been a hold out for many years... my previous communication was Autocom, which I had a chunk of change invested. Of course it still had wires, but the sound level, quality, and distance were second to none, it’s nice being able to communicate 10 miles apart with a 4 watt radio! Since switching over to the Sena, wish I had done it sooner. Quaility and volume are great, no wires, and the phone/navigation integration works great.

I went with something else. Smith and Wesson. Not sure why that wasn't included in the first place.

I own a Sena 10R but have not been impressed. The App crashes everytime I try to connect to the device and it took a couple days on the last trip before we were able to figure out the correct button sequence to connect a 3-way intercom. Even then only 1 of the 3 of us knew how to do it and he wasn't really sure what he was doing. Based on reviews and my current limited experience I would probably get a Scala next time.

SMH10 still kicking after like, forever.

I have the S3. Works well. Not a huge device, but big enough to operate with gloves. Long lasting battery. Just described my manhood.

On my 3rd Sena. The first SMH10 was absolutely bullet proof. It just worked and worked well. My second was the 10U for the Neotec biggest pos ever. Had 2 of them die on me totally and two hadbattery issues, wouldnt last as long as advertised. Also wasn't a fan of the clip on handle bar remote that took up a lot of space on the grip. Buttons were small a awkward. I now have the SRL integrated for my Neotec2. I love it so far with zero issues. Battery has been great speaker sound great and no remote. They went back to a 3 button design it keep it stupid simple. I takes a little bit to learn the button functions but the basic stuff is single tap. Only thing I wish it would have is to be able to charge it while using it for those super long days like we had out west last summer but Sena says they do that for safety reasons. Sena customer service is a little less to be desired too. Mike from RD had to take care of most of my issues with my 10U because Sena drag their feet. Their product design is awsome. Product quality middle of the road. And unless it's changed in the last 15 month customer service needed work. EDIT: Also my first SRL came D.O.A too but a quick exchange it has been great

for sure, but i really really hope is to join OR gap trip same time same place at least once very hard to come by, 99% of Indian restaurants you see are north Indian cuisine. Hardly any around. I was really happy when this opened in Cleveland area. http://www.tasteofkeralam.com/ They started off as real good almost genuine taste but milder spice and heat lvls. But the last time i was there it was like regular north indianish taste. The manager said it was a different chef that month and the house chef was on vacation. Hopefully he is back and they are back to square one again.

This is probably the scariest post i have seen on this forum!!

Just heard Rich had a heart attack and passed away yesterday. I'll never forget you playing around with that rattlesnake on the Skyway. Godspeed.
