Nice work!

Well I went out and cleaned up my bike and forgot I took a picture. So here is our group right before we split up and went our ways.

Just like you were going to beat ass of the guy who was in the car that wouldn't let you go around? Chill the fuck out!!! You have anger issues. “To fight is a radical instinct; if men have nothing else to fight over they will fight over words, fancies, or women, or they will fight because they dislike each other's looks, or because they have met walking in opposite directions” George Santayana quotes

You guys need to just ride your own ride and relax. Grow up! The name calling is pretty childish.

IDK what to tell you. Wish I could help out.

Nope I was the only SV and I am a yellow naked one.

I buy whatever ear plugs are on the shelf at CVS. If there are 10 type I buy the best ones they have.

Well then lets make sure we deal with what needs to be dealt with next time so we all have a good time. We all also need to understand there will be people who ride a lot faster and better than some and they are not going to hold back all day long. As far as I understood today was kind of a quick get together type of thing and there were no real route plans. Some screw ups were to be expected. But really we only has one that caused 2 problems. Both were rather minor and don't need to be blown out of proportion. I had fun with you guys today and hope we can all hook up and ride some more with no hard feelings!

Did you try to put the screw in the thread in the bar and wiggle it and pull it out?

What kind of bar end mirror is it? If you can snap a quick pic of the bar end and maybe we can figure this out. I have CRG's on my bike and they are pretty cut and dry to install.

I thought today went rather well. The spacing of riders was a safe staggered pattern. On the entire ride I was comfortable. The only place that something went wrong was right before we split up at the church. The group of the 4 front riders, myself included took the road to the right and didn't wait up for everyone else. We turned around and came back that's all we could do. Hind sight is 20/20. Sure the lead rider, sorry forgot his name I'm real bad with names, shouldn't have turned right on red onto Rt.303. Then again hind sight is 20/20. Nobody's perfect! The important thing is nobody got hurt, no close calls that I saw, no tickets and everyone got home safe. All I can say is I'm sorry you feel that the ride wasn't what you expected. But if there is a problem the best thing for you to do is voice it at the next stop. You did voice some frustration but not until right before you guys split. I spent most of my time in the middle and back and had a good day. It's just to bad the beginning of the season has to start off in this direction. I guess the lesson to learn is make sure everyone knows what is expected and communicate.

Well it was a nice ride. I had a total of 199.5 miles round trip. I was nice meeting you guys.

Nice R1! Oh how do I miss my 400EX I should have never sold that thing. It is one fun quad!

I have used the air grinder method and air chisel method in the past and prefer the R&K tool. Sure it was something like $120 but the right tool for the job is a great thing. As for master links I have heard the of the clip links coming off. Never seen it myself! In the past I have done the clip and the rivet. Two friends have a clip and my bike is a rivet link. 2 reasons. 1- I bought the tool so I'm gonna use it. 2- The chain came with a rivet link so that's what went on. Personally I say do it with the rivet link because you will have peace of mind.

I have a R&K chain tool but I'm way north of ya'll. If nothing pans out maybe I will be able to head down your way.

I use a mirrored during the day and clear at night on my EXO700. I have a visor bag I use for the spare shield, so I have the extra one on me if I need it. http://www.cyclegear.com/spgm.cfm?L1=5000&L2=1&L3=107&L4=&item=WES_470-1002

Nice choice! I love the naked 1k's

My condolences to the family and friends!!

Where did you guys end up riding? Did you ride through the Bedford Reservation along Tinkers Creek?

I ride out in Mantua, Hiram and Middlefield area every now and then. There really is not much of anything in Mentor so I am always headed South one way or the other.

As soon a the weather is consistent I will be riding around the east side. All back roads, just about everyday or every other day.
