Have you thought of getting just an FZ6? Not the R model? I can only give my biased opinion but the FZ6 is a good utility bike. Sort of one of those jack of all trades master of none. There are usually some pretty good deals on them. Are you looking at the R due to the seat height? Just wondering?

I will preface this whole post saying that we don't have a full organizer of the event, and I'm in NEO, so I won't be able to organize this down at the meet spot because I will probably be one of the last to arrive with the NEO group. We will need to find someone who is able to get to the meet spot early and organize so that all goes as smooth as possible. I can help with all the pre-planning prior to the day of the event, but unfortunately not being as close as others, it would be beneficial if we could get some help for the day of the event. ORIGINAL DATE CANCELLED DUE TO RAIN!!!! Date: SUNDAY - May 18, 2014 Rain Date: Sunday - May 18, 2014 All details are subject to change - so please follow up to this thread before the event to verify all details are the same! Meet Place: Hocking Mall Shopping Center ---Hocking Mall St, Logan, OH 43138 Logan shopping mall lot on 664 latitude. 39.54528°, longitude. -82.43083° Time: Meet by 10:30 Start organizing group by 11:00 and kick stand to ride by 11:30 Pre-Ride Meetups: W/SW Rider Meetup NE Rider Meetup Central Rider Meetup NW Rider Meetup (Link TBD) When you arrive we will *hopefully* have areas designated to your group for the ride (i.e. fast, med-fast, med, etc), so please park your bike in the group you wish to ride. This should save some hassle organizing groups later on. Route will be same as last year. http://goo.gl/maps/ZnwBZ The following details are copied and pasted from last year's Epic Ride, organized by Nivin (NinjaDoc). They worked well and we will of modify certain aspects within last years event to make it even better this year! Last year we had close to 75+ riders, which was an incredible turnout, so let's try to get more riders out this year! Request: Be ATGATT if possible, and try and sport an OR t shirt if you have one. Orders for t-shirts will also be possible by PM'ing me a size. (T-shirt request thread - 8$ a shirt) Some etiquette to help us all better as suggested by many riders: • Everyone is responsible for themselves, so ride within your limits. Crashing is not something we want to have happen. We had several incidents last year, some because of bike maintenance and I believe some because they were outside their comfort zone in terms of speed. Ride within your limits and stay safe. Our goal is to have a fun safe day of riding with a bunch who share the same passion. Crashing only ruins that fun, not only for you, but for others as well. • Grab a bite if you want before ride as there wont be lunch stops. • Ideal maximum group size is ten riders with a lead rider and a tail (sweep) rider • These two riders should be interchangeable in skill level so that the sweep rider can evaluate and help the riders in front of them: These two riders need to know the count of how many riders are in their group. The lead rider needs to wait at all stops for the sweep rider to give him a thumb up. • At each stop the leader or sweep rider can switch or at their discretion ask and allow a new formation of the line. • Do not allow passing other riders in same group once the ride has started except at starts. • Passing slow moving vehicles might be needed for the faster group, when doing this each rider makes times and judges it for them self. Dont wait for the group to pass as a whole. At times might have to cross double yellow to pass. • Both group leaders should know the route well and if possible have ridden it prior to event. • Do not allow changes of groups at stops (Unless both ride leaders of both groups are aware of the change and it does not raise the group count to over ten riders. • If a rider has to leave a group early make sure they tell someone in the group • Do not pass except at stops. • If you picked the wrong spot in line of your group ask to change positions at stops or if a rider signals you to pass. • Start the ride with a full tank of gas. • Many folks are planning to grab a bite at the end of the ride, those with time should do it as it will be fun. The unfortunate long haulers will start back to get home before dark. The Groups Always start one group below what you feel you ride. Meaning if you think your fast, start with medium fast group and if you are comfortable move to the fast group during gas break after letting the lead and sweep know. Better to be safe than sorry. Remember we might be riding roads very new to you. Fast: • Usually 70mph on the straight and 25-30 mph over the posted limit of curve. • The people who belong to the group know they belong to this group, they dont think they belong here. • Dont jump in here unless you been riding with such fellows for some time. eg: UP, Midgettod, Hutch, Core rides Medium-Fast: • 65-70mph on the straight and 20-25 over the posted limit opf curve. • This is the usual fast rides some group rides do, still rather fast • Jump in here if you been riding for a while and is comfortable at these paces on most roads Medium: • 65 mph on the straight and 15-20 over the posted limit opf curve. • This is the everyday regular group rides pace, • Jump in here if you been riding for a while and is comfortable at these paces on most roads Slow: • 60 mph or around posted limit on the straight and upto 10 over the posted limit of curve. • This is the a very comfortable yet fun group ride, • Jump in here if you like doing friendly fun rides and also new riders must join here • The last two rides most people rode this group showing zero ego issues and they had most fun, • No ego in both years kept our rides with 0 casuality Cruiser and heavy touring: • All the mammoth bikes and cruisers • They enjoy the road and own the road at their own pace • Made sperate group just in case there is enough numbers • more than free to join any of the above group based on their own preference. If you could please announce if you plan to attend and which group so I can keep an ongoing list. If you plan on bringing someone else from outside of the forums, or those who don't post, please add a +1 for each member, so we can kind of figure out how many groups we will need to plan for.\ Also post if you are willing to sweep or lead so we can get a list for that as well.

Lol, no problem. Wondering why I didn't get any notifications on replies to this thread otherwise I would have been back here sooner. The bike is spoken for but the transaction is pending a money transfer that hasn't happened yet, if for some reason it doesn't happen I will be sure to let you guys know here. The bike is in like new condition, Melissa hardly road it. I hate seeing it go because it was nice knowing I had spare parts in the garage if I needed them lol, I have the exact same bike. As for it being a "starter sportbike", yes, it does not have the torque n balls of most 600's but it will still get up and go. Its not the kind of bike that you're going to stand up by accident, it just doesn't have that kinda kick, but I love mine greatly.

Feinstein's actions over the last couple of year makes my head hurt. They make no sense at all, she is a liberal from California FFS. She has been pushing expansion of the patriot act. Attacking snowden, defending the NSA and the IRS stuff you mention. It is very weird. Something is going on, and we might never know what it really is.

Step 1: stop listening to assholes on the internetStep 2: locate bike that interests you for a good deal Step 3: ride it and decide if you like it Step 4: ride it for a season...if you like it keep it. If you don't like it, sell for same price you bought for at said deal Step 5: profit either way you go

Because we all know you don't wanna have to adjust the valves after

Mine sees 100+ every time I leave my driveway if it's dry out. I wind her out in first second and third, then snap up to 6 and let her coast back down to cruising speed.

I'd highly suggest keeping same meeting spot and route otherwise it's gonna make it about 1000x more difficult than it needs to be

No, I think we are pretty much screwed.

You mean you didn't like riding the wrong way up the onramp?

Id go with the AFX. Its a great helmet for a cheap price. Its not the lightest helmet in the world. Honestly, as much as I like my Icon Variant, its a pricey helmet and Im not sure that Id drop $400 on another one when I could get an AFX for about $120, put a dark shield on it for $30 and have the same look for half as much.

122? not even the top of third gear.

19 and he throws a little bitch fit like that, stepdad must be a major pussy. Quick as I said no my dad would have got out the boxing gloves and tuned my ass up. And why didn't Harley dude stop juniors tantrum at the cost of his bike, maybe he didn't have time to put on his do-rag and fingerless gloves. Cant be a proper badass with out right gear. Chalk this one up one bigpussy raising another.

Whew, only rain. And a good solid rain at that. Just what we wanted. Now please no more salt. Monday is cold in the morning but nice in the afternoon. Tuesday and Wednesday are looking nice. I want to get the "newbie for a week after a long Winter" out of the way and get on with it.

This winter stuff is getting old... The waves of rain right now in Cbus suck too.

Inside joke.

My mom would have made me sit in a cell and think about my actions. When I got out, she would have made me pay the insurance deductibles and anything else to make it right.

And yes some of these Harley's call out one of Supermoto's in a drag race...........or maybe I do a little calling. The worst morale buster for anyone is to get beat by a dirtbike on the street!! LMAO

The good old days...remember steel beer cans? Remember the magnetic Pepsi can lookalike you could put on your beer can while you drank and drove? my grampa had one. Drove for the teamsters for 30 odd years after the war till he lost his butt hole to cancer and retired on a medical, not one ticket his whole life.

The money you have to put into a harley motor to get it to make 1 horse per cube can't justify the power to weight ratio when it goes back into the frame.

Would be better if the step father beat him with the Xbox and then ran over it.

Vs the kool aid that says everything is a conspiracy without backing it up with proof? Maybe you're right, but how do I know you're not a CIA agent trying to use reverse psychology to make me think you're anti-mainstream just so I predictably invoke symbolic logic thus making other conspiracists believe all hope is futile?

So what? They hire criminals too.

Yes, information is free to everyone, I'm sure it's entirely unnecessary for us to go off shore to find out information that is missing in national media sources in the US. Nor is it necessary to have to find news sources outside of any of the major distributors of news information. Information would never be missing or eliminated from distribution to the population. The US media is also entirely unbiased and completely truthful, with no agendas or culpability. Feel free to drink the kool-aid.

Whhhaaattt? I gotta travel, plus half the cruise gets paid for with credit card reward points ..I thought about buying that 600 bandit and flipping it for a 4 whiller but i'm not sure i'll have time for any of it. Mama bear might have a new job with a new pay scale so maybe it will be sooner than later.

Odd, girls celebrate national cleavage day? I mean I get it that lesbians would, but hetero ladies?? Oh, and I never got my steak on S&BJ day.....so, medium rare please

Nice My dick was just hanging around waitin' for a ride too, but grew tired of waiting and fell asleep

Really? Cuz you could of played with mine last night, but didn't.

Quit blowing all your money on cruises and get another quad, bubby.

This seems to fit here.

Also part of the case for war that turned out to be bull shit. SH was only interested in himself and fought against anything that threatened his power in Iraq including radical or political Islam. All reports have concluded no credible links to SH and terrorism outside of Iraq. At least one World Trade Center bomber lived in Iraq for years but that doesn't mean SH was a supporter. How many world criminals live in the USA? Then compare Iraq to places we call friends and those seem to harbor and create the most terrorists. Can't say that was worth all the killings and the two trillion dollars spent.

Just take it slow on the main corridor trails and you will be ok, the more towards Begley's campground end you get the steeper the hills are. Best advice I can give is take your time and have your son ride his own pace and just pull over to the side when someone gets behind you and let them pass safely.

Today's kids need a loving no nonsense father figure. They tend to be the authoritative figure that keeps the kids in line and tend to create good adults. My father has taught me many things in this world, including not messing with another man's property.
