i want to ride 800 this year as well, but will miss the CSBA ride to 536 next week. I'll check that out later in the season. BTW - Goldwings handle great for a big bike. ^^^John (referred to above) has a 1800 that take 555 down with no problems so dont sleep on those road coachs. :-)

I decided to go through my ins to fix so the bike is still down at this point. I wasnt going to be able to make it for this one anyway because my mom is graduating from college on that day.....HOWEVER, whoever goes i want to see pics and i will be riding this route before riding season is over so a nice write up when its over would be nice as well.....please. :-)

Bump

i'm about 5-7k

Congrats!!! Bike looks real good!

sorry this is late, but congrats on the new shop!!

that's slick!!!!

good pic....i hope to be around doing that stuff in 25 years!!! :-)

I'm hoping it will be ridable by next weekend. I really just needs the bracket for the left foot peg replaced. If i can get that, i'm good. I have a wind shield from a buddy in Cinci coming soon and alright have the flush mounts at the house. I also need to JBweld the fairing above my mirror together - if that works i should be good....oh i have to try to get my frame slider bolt out - it snapped off, but i could ride without it worse come to worse. The good and the bad of it is my mom is graduating from college on the same day in Dayton so i wont be able to make this ride. Super happy for her, selfishly sad for me....Family first though. :-)

+1 ride your ride and be comfy.

We are out a little ways, but i got the route for the next ride. We had 14 bikes for th esecond ride and that's up from the first which is good. A couple more folks from here showed up - Rusty, Dan, Marek, Doug....i may be missing some other, but all are welcome. We also had a HD guy, and a BMW guy. All Makes, models, and types are welcome - Whether you believe in God or Not. We have a good time together as riders as the very least and the routes have been great. :-) I'll have more than just a pic of the route soon.

True!!! Some people believe it some don't...i believe it and won't deny it. Thanks for all the info everyone, i'm looking forward to getting the bike up and running again so i can cont to work on my riding abilities. :-)

prayers sent!!!

Yeah, we where both truely blessed it wasn't worse. His bike is totaled of course, but i heard he may keep it and just replace the front end or his buddy (that took a trailor to pick them both up) may buy it from him and peice it back together....i think he said his wife wants it. It was a 2008 CBR 600. My bike is now missing a left turn signal (i have flushmounts sitting at the house already), left frame slider snapped off (part of the bolt is still in the hole so i have to figure out how to get that out), the upper fairing above my left mirror snapped off (i have the piece) and some said there is some kind of plastic weld that can fix that - with a little sanding and paint it would look good, the left side fairing is cracked by where the frame slider was - purely cosmetic, the left footpeg snapped off so i had to ride 3 or 4 miles in first gear - probably could have road it home if i could have got it to 3 gear, and windscreen is trashed. Everything else looks good, so i think i'm looking at $50 to $100 parts just to get her running and a couple more bucks to get her looking good again. I'm very Thankful!!! As soon as i can get the flush mounts on and new left foot peg i'm riding again....i have to tackle the thing that took me out so i'll be heading back down to that same spot before long.... Thanks for all the well wishes!

Glad you showed up as well and dont be a stranger. :-) The zx-11 looked real good!

glad you came out marek. May be calling you about the plastics on the bike being repaired and painted. I got to get my gear shifter replaced first.

http://www.ohio-riders.net/album.php?albumid=359 Here are the rest of the pics from the ride/crash this weekend. Overall we had a great time. I got to finish 555 on the back of a Goldwing - Kept things that I would have loved to ride the rode myself, but still had a good time seeing how it was gonna be. That Goldwing can move. I believe its an 1800. Anyway 555 north of 550 had a lot of stuff on it right before you hit 78.
