Still not sure why anyone would want me to organize this ride... all it means is that it will rain that weekend.

With riding season finally here, I figured I’d bump this up.

Repurposed the old seat from my first XR100.

Just to give an update, I was able to get a hold of Mike at the Big Bike Shop. Apparently he is only doing service at the moment and only call after 2:30pm as he isn't around before then. On the plus side he know exactly what was wrong with my magneto and had the parts in stock so I should be riding it this weekend.

Picked this up thru the midget. Company colors! Extended mag in route. Go Steelers

This is turning into Ohio riders minibike forum. Congrats man!

I've been curious about the Z125s for a little while. I swung by the dealership where I bought my H2 SX SE. The owner recognized me as I walked in and we talked for a little bit about how my bike and I were doing. Then he asked what brings me and I told him I wanted to sit on a Z125 and see if it was something I would consider buying. He told me he had ridden his to the dealership and if I wanted to I could take it for a spin. I took him up on the offer. Needless to say I had a blast on the short ride. I ended up buying one of the 2019s they had on the floor. Now I gotta start looking for the best mods and such.

Time to see if I still know how to ride a motorcycle. I will be at the Bolivar DQ around noon. If you want to ride today, shoot me a PM. Route is open. Pace is subject to my comfort level and temperature. I don't care what you ride, but show up in proper safety gear and leave your ego at the house. Jeans, jacket, gloves and helmet would be on the lower end of proper safety gear, in case you were wondering.

Ok, another call to action gang. We need to make the Senate phones ring. I have covered Senator Dolan in my district, his aide was very helpful as everyone down there has been. Dolan was on the committee last year when I testified and we chatted. I am hopeful he will help. But the more we get the better off we are, in fact YOUR Senator may be key, one of them is bound to be on the reconciliation committee. 1) Let them know we made passed the House last year with 100 percent yes votes. 2) We passed the Senate Transportation Committee with 100 percent yes votes but we were unable to get to the Senate floor before the session ended. 3) Then explain we are in the House version of the Transportation Budget but for some unknown reason the Senate Transportation Committee removed us and that they need to help get us added back in during reconciliation. http://www.ohiosenate.gov/senators/district-map

I appreciate the information, Brian. I will look into an upgrade over the winter. Too many things to deal with at the present time. Just shelled out $3500 for this bike, tossed another $3000 into a car for Isaac and he is looking for a motorcycle, as well. He just passed his MSF class this weekend. So, any leads on a clean and cheap baby Ninja would be swell. I also have another trick up my sleeve for the season and I need to watch my spending. Not interested in any frankenbike scenarios. I want a new shock and cartridges for the stock fork legs.

Let us know.

Yep, and you will cancel and we will go anyway and have a blast.

Description kept me reading to the end. 10/10.

The bike performed well enough, but I think Yamaha forgot to install suspension. I will have to remedy that if I plan to do any heavily spirited riding on Ohio's shitty roads. It will zoom to 120 mph and down to 60 with no real trouble, so the engine and brakes were installed correctly. So, I have that going for me...which is nice. Just at 225 miles for the day. Not bad for 4 hours. I think I will keep it.

Websites may die, but ideals live forever. Looking forward to seeing you soon, Tony. Ok, my clutch and brake levers, shift lever and rear brake are adequately adjusted. The handlebar is going in the trash asap. Absolutely wretched little thing..and bar weights are being upgraded. Tire pressure is a bit low, so I am off to find a free air pump... but so far, so good. She's a nice little machine.

Really?!? Never would have pegged you as someone with OCD.

Nothing... nothing at all. So far this Ducati-free riding season is coming up roses. I may reward myself with a fancy helmet later on, so keep those deals rolling. You guys rock.
