"Mine That Bird" wins it all! 50/1 odds, what a payout! That was a great finish!

Welcome! I live near Polaris too. Make sure you wave when you see the big purple cruiser coming your way.

There is a Humane Society of Delaware County and it's located at 4920 State Route 37 East, Delaware, Ohio. Not too far away from Cheshire Choppers. I checked their website and this bike wash is not listed on their calendar of events. Although that doesn't mean that Hinds won't donate the proceeds to HSDC. Like any fundraiser you attend, you trust that money goes where it's intended.

'79 Kawasaki KZ750LTD. I bought it for $200.00. Engine and rear wheel on frame, the rest was in a box. Had the carburetor professionally cleaned and put the rest together myself with the help of the Rice Paddy & JC Whitney. Here it is, with me and my then two year old daughter.

I actually took the night off from work that day, but am committed to go on the Brandy Winfield Memorial Ride in Marion on the 6th. Maybe next year.

Well, that's one way to keep your hand busy.

Looks like I may have to do some fancy work schedule juggling to get in on this ride.

Happy Birthday! Enjoy it!

Sounds like the next poll. Who's hotter, PrincessPratt or nochknstrps? Pictures must be included.

Personally I think it depends on the day and what I'm in the mood for. Today I'm in the mood for . . .

Negative to the censorship! You have a choice to either log on and join or stay off. Don't like the language? Stay off the thread! Stay off the site! Stay off the Internet! Get rid of your computer!

I say, let the flame wars go on for at least until the grievances are aired out. But once it becomes redundant and it appears to come to an impass, close it down.

It is no longer referred to as DUI or OMVI in the state of Ohio. Ohio Revised Code changed the language of the law to Operating a Vehicle under the Influence (OVI). The vehicle does not have to be motorized to be charged and the language includes the operation of a vehicle within the State of Ohio. http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/4511.19

Anyone know someone who can change a tire like this? http://www.wimp.com/motorcyclestunt

Congratulations! Sweet bike!

I had a D404 as a replacement tire on my VTX. IMO it's a crap tire and not worth any amount. Wet weather traction is lousy. I've been much happier with Bridgestone and Metzeler.

Here's an update on a topic previousley posted by Harb67. --- On Wed, 3/18/09, AMA <newsroom@ama-cycle.org> wrote: March 18, 2009 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Pete terHorst Phone: (877) 877-8969 E-mail: peter.terhorst@sympoint.com Those who purchase new motorcycles and scooters will save in 2009 PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- Vehicles eligible for the motorcycle tax deduction added to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act are likely to include on-road and dual-sport motorcycles, as well as motorscooters and mopeds, according to the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA). The tax deduction -- first reported by the AMA on Feb. 14 -- was added at the eleventh hour to the landmark $787 billion stimulus package that President Barack Obama signed into law on Feb. 17. "While we are awaiting final language from the Treasury Department, we believe that many motorcycles and scooters will qualify," said Ed Moreland, AMA vice president for government relations. "We have AMA members to thank, because they responded to our appeal to contact their legislators to make sure that motorcycles were part of this inclusive and equitable solution." Moreland added that the efforts of Harley-Davidson, together with AMA, were instrumental in obtaining the same tax deduction that was provided in the stimulus plan for automobile, light truck and RV purchasers. The law also includes a 10 percent tax credit up to $2,500 for street-legal electric motorcycles purchased by December 2011. The sales and excise tax deduction applies to motorcycles purchased between Feb. 17 and Dec. 31, 2009, with a GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) less than an 8,500 lbs., and costing less than $49,500. Individuals can take the deduction if they make less than $125,000, or $250,000 for joint filers. The deduction is phased out for taxpayers with income between $125,000 and $135,000 ($250,000 to $260,000 for a joint return). Individuals do not have to itemize to claim the deduction. What qualifies as a motorcycle in the economic stimulus law? According to section 571.3 of title 49, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), a motorcycle is defined under federal law as "a motor vehicle with motive power having a seat or saddle for the use of the rider and designed to travel on not more than three wheels in contact with the ground." In addition, a "motor-driven cycle means a motorcycle with a motor that produces 5 brake horsepower or less." To illustrate the impact of the tax deduction, consider the case of a new motorcycle purchase of $10,500. For a 7.5 percent sales tax rate, the tax would be $787.50. To take advantage of the new law, purchasers would include that amount on their 2009 federal income tax return, meaning that their taxable income would be reduced by that amount before taxes are calculated. States set their own sales tax rates, so the actual amount of savings will depend on the taxpayer's state and tax rate. "This victory indicates that our legislators are starting to recognize how motorcycles reduce traffic congestion, provide efficient use of limited parking, lessen the impact on our roads and bridges and help reduce our dependence on foreign oil," said Moreland. Moreland added that the AMA would provide additional details of the tax deduction as soon as the Treasury Department issues its final rules. Among the questions to be answered are what model-year products are covered, including yet-to-be-released 2010 models; whether or not all unsold, new models are included, regardless of year; and whether or not off-road motorcycles are included.
