Thanks God you're ok dude. Hope your damage is minimal to none at all when you go to the doc.

:-( i wish i had some cash.....I love the orange cbr...

Glad you had a great trip!!! That is the only road i didnt get to ride when i went to the gap in july. Next time i'll be sure to hit i good portion of it. BTW, i love Cherokee, NC Great area!

Village Pantry is what i must have smelled while we where waiting outside of NAPA cause it was making me hungry! No off roading for me. :-) the zzr's doesnt do good in the grass... LOL! I'll be posting the video of a portion of the ride in a sec.

your good jp. I didnt get that at all. in fact i did wonder if the guy had beef, but we did wait until there was a dotted yellow line on our side and no one was coming on the other side. we didnt even down shift or anything to get around him. He was cool and actually said he worked at some cycle shop in lancaster....dont remember which on he said though.

true that.

Its sad to say that i was surprised with the service when that is how it should always be...putting the customer first and going above and beyond. The free part was just a bonus, i wouldnt expect that at all.

I maybe able to make it, but it depends on my Homework load though....we'll see

My friend Doug and I sent on an early morning ride today leaving at 7 am because i needed to get back home to do homework. anyway the plan was to leave columbus on 33, 374, 180, 56, 327 (through Tarr Hollow), 671, 50, 683, 93, 328, 56, 93, back up 33 to home to columbus. It was a little chilly but it didnt rain at all, although it looked like it wanted it. Anyway again, we made it to 374 and had a good time on that through South Perry on 180. We passed a pickup truck just outside S. Perry and thats where the problem started. However, its a good thing i have a small bladder cause we had to stop in Laurelville. While i was taking a leak, the guy in the pick up stopped and was talking to Doug. I thought he might just wanted to check out the bikes that blew pass him :-) (not really), but turns out that Doug's oil cap came off some where outsided of S. Perry and almost hit his truck. (getting long winded...sorry). Doug lost a lot of oil, but we where in Laurelville and there was a NAPA. We hoped there would be a simple solution to the problem, but to no avail....However, the bright spot of the trip was the service we received from several people in this little town. The guy at NAPA (didnt get his name) was a tremendous help. He tried for what seemed like forever to find something that would fix Doug's CBR, but he had nothing. No where in the city that would have been the end of it, he was making calls around town. He called a lady at the bank who's husbands name was Red Dog (he was wearing a Red Dog shirt when he came down to the store), he also called a guy named Ken at a Lawn care place about 3 or 4 miles away to see if he had something from an old mower or something. Even the lady at the bank came over to check on us. So while Doug chilled i went over to the Lawn care place to check what he had that we might be able to use. Ken was gone but his some Greg was there and helped me out. He had a box of old oil caps and i was able to find one that looked like it would work. THANK GOD IT DID!!!! The gentlemen at NAPA cleaned it up and put some white thread lock (i think) on it as an extra precaustion. Keep in mind that he did all of this without charging Doug a cent. I think he even topped his oil off free of charge. ANYWAY longer story cut we got it together and went on our way. Unfortunately our trip was cut short because of time i really appreciated the help and compassion we received from the folks in Laurelville, OH. It reassures me that there are still good people around and are williing to help thoses in need without looking for anything in return. I'll never forget those folks and hope to see them riding about next time down in the Hocking Hills region.....Oh yeah i did forget to mention that the guy at NAPA and Red Dog where both biker.... Great people down there. Just thought i'd share although i didnt mean to write this much. Peace

i wanted to go, but now i have to head to Strongsville that day (family stuff). :-( I've never seen any MC races in person...... Ya'll have a good time
