SWing'R

:plus1:

So this morning I get early and decide to go out for a couple hours before the expected rain comes. I had a new route planned to check out some roads to the West of me between Plain City and East Liberty. Well once I got on the road I decided against my planned route cause the rain looked like it was gonna be here much earlier then they were predicting. So anyway, just about a block from my house I damn near dropped my bike at a stop sign, I rolled up to it and shifted down, thought I was all the way down in 1st, turns out I was in neutral, let off the clutch and give it some gas to roll away while turning and leaning left, well being in neutral there was no "rolling away" and the weight of leaning left about dropped me, with a quick foot down to the ground I caught myself, put er in 1st then went on my way. The next 15-20minutes I followed with a couple stalls and several missed gears (kept hitting neutral instead of 2nd). You ever get the feeling that maybe you should just turn around and go home? Well I rode around for only about 40minutes and decided maybe today was not the best day to be ridin. Weird.

Glad you enjoyed it, was worth the drive down then I guess! Anytime you can ride the triple nickel and ride away without any misshaps is a good ride! Did you ride the entire thing from top to bottom?

I really can't stand that guy. So no, didn't see and don't plan on it

Of course. Austin's sold me THREE bikes now. This friendship's getting expensive!

Yeah man, its the new Suzuki TU250X, its a retro looking "standard", its looks like a 1974 Honda CB something. Just a 250, its her "starter" bike, and she loves it. We'll be at the Meet N Greet Sunday if you and Sara are going.

Nice. I'll bring the camera

It's that time again, roll call, who's headed out to Hooters tonight??? DiamoGirl and I will be there tonight sometime after 7pm. By the way Tom, thanks for posting that pic of the wife's new bike!

Not really. Seeing the media coverage its gotten I think it would have been best for him (and his department) to own up to his mistake, admit wrong doing and take what ever he gets.

The sob pleaded "not guilty" to speeding charge. WTF?

I rode a passenger once, other then that I followed the rules.

Or you could just say fuck it and not worry about it

Thats why I've always been a fan of the "single" light design.

Oh no. He's gonna get the sportbike bug now!

Hey Jagr, my wife's new bike is supposed to get 82mpg, so 120 for a 200cc sounds about right. Oh, and WELCOME new guy! Screamin Willies, that place still open?? I'm gonna date myself here but I remember going there when it was, dare I say it.... East Dallas & Bourbon St. (sigh, yeah, I'm old)

Welcome!

Exactly. My Yamaha FZ6R is very easy on the back, sitting all the way up against the tank the reach is very minimal, almost straight up and down with no lean, slid your butt back a bit and you can lean into it a bit. This was one of the biggest reasons I bought this bike.

Looks like I missed a good time, maybe next time! Was nice meeting you Looney at IP earlier and nice getting in a quick ride with you and meeting you Cheech, it was short and to the point, I needed a few curves and a little taste of speed this weekend and that was perfect! Glad you guys all had fun. The wife and I went out on our own this evening for awhile too, definetely a nice day for ridin!

I'm leaving in a minute, glad I checked here but I can't go that late, got things to do later. If anyone wants to ride with me I'll be @ the Pony at Noon anyway.
