+1 Totally looks like a dude. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Sweet, more pics to add. My desktop has a few new backgrounds now!! That was a fun trip, thanks again guys and gal!

I would say you have found the right place, Welcome!!

Lucky coincidence, that...

That sux! I have sympathy after starting my bike with a multi-tool all day. (and this should open you pricks up for several good multi-tool jokes... hehehe)

We chumped out early. They are still down in Hocking, so we will get a few more photos posted when they get home later.

Pictures, in no particular order. Whomever has the group pic, post it in all it's full resolution glory if you would! I, for one, had a grand time. The plane was bad ass, parking in front of it for a photo op was super bad ass, and JP's made a nice after-bad-ass snack. Oh, and for you Groveport riders that were out today, my house is less than a mile down the road from where I turned off down Groveport road. Since you are close by and like Hocking we will have to get together and ride more often. Amanda Clear Creek was sweet too and we have a few more riders down in Canal Winchester that might join us when we go. Ohio Riders is Number 1! Yep, that's Chopper 4 sharing a hanger bay with greatness. Anyone else get to pull their bikes into an active airfield for a photo op this week? You can just photoshop mikera67 out... I think a bunch of the leg humpers just got new desktop wallpaper.

Leaving momentarily. Gotta make a stop or two on the way and I should be at Tuttle before Noon. See you all there.

We are just going to look and drool, don't think anyone of us plans to shell out for the ride!! (and hell yeah they better let me play tail gunner for that much silver...)

I like that, wish I had 4 hours to spare.

What are you buggers sore about now?? Nice work!

Looks like Mickey D's in front of Tuttle mall at Noon-thirty it is. I will show up at noon sharp and field calls from any directionless souls that manage to get lost or sidetracked.

Yeah, the small stuff I depend on good ventilation or just painting in the open air. When I work on something like the frame where I am indoors and exposing myself for an extended period of time I use a respirator. Makes a big difference, you don't notice how much the thing helps until you take it off and get a whiff of the unfiltered goodness in the air....

How expensive is JP's? I'm poor these days... McDs may be more my speed! LOL Normally I would be down for Hocking after, but I have a wedding to attend out of state this weekend and a few things to take care of before I leave town Sat morning. I will ride as far as the south end with whoever goes, but I have to cut out around Canal Winchester or so and head for home.

Yeah, so I have been painting the frame, swing arm, etc for the Suzuki rebuild and I must have inhaled enough fumes to kill a horse when I decided to start painting parts on the Yamaha..... The side covers were bothering me, mostly because one had some wierdness going on with blue paint spatter. Not sure how or why this came to be, but I wanted it gone along with the stupid badging. Long story short I pealed off the "Virago" badge and painted the side covers with truck bed coating and unscrewed the "Yamaha" badges on the tank for the same treatment. Eventually I will repaint the tank, and when that happens I will just putty over the mounts and leave no badges at all. Before and after pics: Before, notice the bluish nonsense on the side cover and the lame badges. After, notice the lack of all the above... hehehe. I will let my GF at it some other time, but this was a quick fix that I couldn't screw up too bad on my own. And since I am on the subject of rattlecans and paint fume buzzes... Here is the Zuki frame. (Cafe project) Torn down to frame in my driveway.... Primed.

Sounds like the Hilliard/Dublin area is the way to go, I like the idea of Tuttle. Very easy and right smack between them. BP or there is a McDs on the other side of the road across from the mall. 12:30 ish sound perfect as well. Let's say Noon-thirty at Tuttle for certain. BP is fine, I usually just like a fast food place because I can grab some coffee whilst waiting and they have lots of parking that is highly visible from Tuttle Crossing. PM me with your preference if any and I will PM my cell phone number back in case anyone is lost or late on Friday.

Those are fun bikes, my buddy has a V65 and a V45. Ass loads of power from that V4 engine.... I have a ramp, hand made by myself, out of quality wood... I purpose built it to load motorcycles into a Ford F150 crew cab and it is plenty stout. Don't know how much higher your bed is than the Ford, but if you are desperate you can use it. I'm on the south end as well, so closer to you. Also, ratchet straps work great as long as you strap front and rear well and use the ratchets to load the suspension way down. I have transported a few bikes this way in truck beds. I will warn you that getting the bike back down the ramp made my asshole pucker a bit, though I got it all by myself with no damage to me, the bike, or my dad's truck....

It is hard to justify philosophically, but I must say that in some cases I definitely subscribe to the "nuke them from orbit and let Allah sort them out." Iran, China, and the DPRK would be great places to start... Perhaps not NECESSARY, but if you bomb the particular building where government sanctioned and supported cyber attacks are being generated I could see that as being an appropriate response.... Especially since we have the ability to pick the particular window on the building we want the bomb to enter. Not like the old days where we had to level the whole block to get the building we wanted. The official name for North Korea. "Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea" Four words (5 counting "of") and three are lies... there is nothing democratic, republic, or for the people in North Korea. Not until someone kills their leader and the rest of his maligned bloodline.

Hahahaha!!! I was at the DMV last summer and some teenage girl actually managed to hit a LIGHT POLE in the parking lot.... Not even in the test portion... FAIL.

I was lucky, got a female examiner.... I ended up walking down to the exam area arm in arm with her as she told me what a nice young boy I was. Test was easy too... I nicked a cone on the slalom with my rear tire, otherwise I didn't loose any points. I also took mine at near freezing temps and the other two bikers taking it at the same time trailered their bikes in, so I think I got bonus points on that too since she was nicer to me and let me go ahead of them even though they were scheduled first!!

Every attack requires a response, but we have more means available than precision guided missiles. Flounder has the right idea... though it may be a more clandestine organization returning fire for the states than the military, I'm sure we are not giving away free shots to the DPRK.

Teehee.... "dropped once" + For Sale = Scared of bike. Low ball him on the price and gift it to the wifey... or just keep it yourself since like Recon said, it looks like it would be fun as hell to trash that bitch...

ROFLage!! Now THAT's salesmanship!!

Nice work Ryan! God damn, I love that bike...

Hehehe... It really does sound like a squad of Harleys running... Would you like to meet somewhere on the West or North West side? Plenty of places to grab a bite and easily navigated for our Mansfield rider. Bolton Field is just outside 270 and just South of 70, so easy access to 270 is a bonus too. I don't mind riding all the way up to Polaris/Westerville, but we could meet in Dublin/Hillard area too if everyone else is coming from farther South. Edit: Anyone who is in for a Friday ride to the old bird send me a PM.
