I try to hit 174 and some other of my hidden favorites everyday. Even if it is only for an hour or 2. I grew up here and landscaped in this area for 15 years so I know just about every rd. There is some good riding but lots of cops and the speed limits are pretty low. Next spring or before if your up this way give me a shout and I will show you around.
cool will do

Mick Doohan: I don't know where he gets his excuses, but I wish I had them when I was racing.

Wringing the handlebar for speed,
Wild to be wreckage forever.

Riding a motorcycle on today’s highways, you have to ride in a very defensive manner. You have to be a good rider and you have to have both hands and both feet on the controls at all times.

Answers to a couple of questions.
I got about 400 miles in this season. I ended up working out of town for a couple of weeks that cost me some nice weather. Fortunately living in Westerville I can ride out into the country pretty easy and that has made learning to ride easier. The city traffic can be very interesting.
And Yes I do wear that helmet in public.
I will try and post some pictures of the bike tomorrow.
Thanks Everyone and Have Fun.
LOL...just messing with ya a steelers helmet is better than no helmet
-
Welcome....
do you actually wear that helmet in public?
-
well I won't be putting them on until warm weather so I'll wait till there are some silver ones
-
what colors are available?
-
LOL.... just my opinion
-
mastiffs are cool
-
If you choose to not wear a helmet and are involved in an accident I hope you die rather than become a burden on your family because of your ignorance.
-
hey dumba$$ you want website why didnt you say so
-
here's a couple
-
Ahhhhh....another sheep has been added to the flock.
I've owned several HD's through the years, and none of them had any service issues. The last one that I owned left for its new owner with over 80,000 miles on the clock. It never saw the dealership service department.
I've also seen a few HD's that would wax some liter bikes. A certain Turbocharged V-Rod we built comes to mind.
OK so are you extremely lucky or a hardley mechanic? Its just everyone I know with a hardley has problems with it. When I was in sturgis (working @ hardley store) this year I could not believe how many hardley riders were looking for service and how many said they would never buy another.
Don't take it the wrong way... to each their own and I'll ride with anyone regardless what they ride but I was just amazed at how many were having problems with bikes that were less than a year old if I was to spend 20k or more on a bike I'd expect the thing to hold up. And the sad thing is hardley could give a shit if you get a lemon. The finance lady where I bought my bike had bought a screaming eagle package for her husband from hardley and was installed by hardley now they said warranty is void do to the alterations that their package and their mechanics did.
-
I notice no one commented on Dave's v-rod suggestion..... hmmm I wonder why??? y'all aren't baggin on the ol' harley are ya's???
No hardley's are fine if you got deep pockets for all the repairs, like oil spots in your drive, have a mechanic on call 24/7, oh and like getting beat in the 1/4 by a geo metro
sorry Dave...

What specific uses are you going to use it for.
Bike and car

Holy shit I almost fell out of my chair

No winter toy yet but I'm looking to buy a quad and a cheap truck to haul it in. If anyone knows of anything or has anything for sale let me know haha
TNT Powersports has a few nice quads in his shop for sale right now
-
For those of you that have GPS units could you give some advice to those of us that don't. As far as what features to look for and what to stay away from. Do any of the companies make models directed towards motorcycles? Do the universal mounts I've seen in catalogs actually fit most of the units or just a select few?
