Oh wait. Wrong KY huh?

Thanks everyone for the positive replies, this really tore me up inside for a couple hours today, I almost went home from work early. But like most of you have said, it could have been worse, everyone walked away from it ok! I gotta wonder if the younger girl will bust out on her sister by accident, you know how kids say the damned things, I can she her later tonight when moms around saying something like "sissy tried to kill me today crossing the street" And mom will be like...

I'll be riding the blue Yamaha with OhioRider stickers on the front and I'm gonna be sportin my leather pants and a bright (really bright) yellow wind breaker over my tech jacket (gonna be a cool day).

I was going to do this run but I am instead going up to Mansfield to do the Hales HD Mohican Poker Run. http://www.ohio-riders.com/showthread.php?t=30669

Yeah, thats her boyfriend Guido. You know that guy had the Ferrari logo tattoo'd on his calf, goof.

... seriously. I almost hit two little girls with my work van around 2:30p this afternoon. They bolted out across the street in front of me on Taylor Ave just South of Leonard. I think they only looked one way, it was like they didn't see me at all. I was probably doing 35mph, saw them start to move and locked all four up and came to screeching halt with the one girl actually touching the drivers side front corner when I came to a stop. Let me just say how shook up I was. I sat in the middle of the road for what seemed like an eternity (was actually probably about 3minutes) before I could bring myself to drive away I was shaking so bad. It looked like two sisters, probably 11 and 8yrs old, the older one was holding the younger ones hand when they bolted out. The older one actually made it across in front of me with the younger one touching my front end and turning around and went back to the other side. If it were anyone else that they ran out in front of I would almost bet both of them would be dead right now. I think the only reason they are not is that I have been driving a service van for over 20yrs and am quite in tune with my environment when driving, I saw them there on the side of the road, most other people would have never even noticed them. If I had not noticed them I would have hit them both full on at around 30-35mph, they would not have made it. This was something I will not forget for awhile, I'm getting sick to my stomach just thinking about it again. I can't imagine what it would be like to run someone over, let alone two young girls.

Yeah the band was a little to loud. Oh well. I didn't know you or the guy next to you at the end. Sorry.

Unless its raining tomorrow morning when I get up I'll be there. Everytime I change my damn plans for "expected rain" it never actually rains!!

At the end sitting across from Mandy?

We'll be there tonight unless its "actually" raining around 7. Everytime I change my plans for "expected rain" it never fricken rains!!

Sorry I missed meetin ya Junkie, I don't think we've met yet. I know I was still there when you were cause my wife is in the background of this picture you took. Oh well, another time.

Who, if anyone else, from Columbus is heading up to this??? I'm going and if anyone from Columbus wants to ride up together let me know before tomorrow morning!!

Pffftt, blow up, the Real Doll's are so much better. So I've heard.

Damn. Just damn.

Nice meetin ya tonight man. Nice turn out tonight, lots of bikes. Band was to damn loud though, couldn't talk to the person across the fricken table from ya (yeah I'm old, suck it). So anyway, we had good time tonight until we ran across some jackass squid on the way home on 70 that decided he wanted to show off for us after he passed us, this asshat proceeds to jump up on his tank and ride while stradlin his tank, on 70, thru downtown, at night. I was waiting for him to wreck so I could hurry over and see if he was alright and then kick him in the ribs and ask him what the hell is problem was! But it never happened. He was wearing tennis shoes, a helmet (amazing) , a tshirt w/no jacket, and no gloves.

Yep same here. Me and the wife should be there, she's leavin her bike home though and ridin with me, she's not up to highway or night ridin yet.

My wife's TU250X is the counterpart to the GZ250, it has the exact same info in the manaul per the breakin.... 1/2 throttle then 3/4 throttle. It to does not have a tach. I think 1000 miles is abit much for a breakin, I plan on opening the thing up to see what it will do once it gets past 500miles. 500 miles was the break in on my sportbike.

No silly. Thats the benefit of going to a dentist that works at the mall ! I go to Sears Dental, heck they had another person in after me even!

Its summer man, any public school lot, preferrably a high school, they have bigger lots then the others.

Thats a YES on me and a NO on the Mrs.

Your thread has the wrong date in the title.

I'm in for the mohican poker run! Who else from C-bus is planning on going??? JRM said MJ was going, anyone else? We should coordinate a departure from cbus so we can ride up together.

Hey man I've changed my mind on Sat, I'm gonna head up to Mansfield for the Mohican poker run!
