Let the shenanigans begin! I have been quite chatty haven't I? I'll believe it when I see two separate people show up & both aren't just as ugly as Justin. Every attempt will be made to get this event to run on time and to be organized. I have talked to someone down there about this and have been told we should be keeping to a better schedule. This makes it very important for people to show up on time because there will be no Coshocton route posted so if you are late you won't be able to find us.

I will not comment about the accuracy of that statement, you will have to ask others about it or experience it for yourself. I think Knicks360 was in your shoes last year and can give you a perspective you will appreciate.

When I plan a ride I usually post the route that way if someone shows up and finds the groups pace too slow for their liking they can go out ahead and wait for us at the next turn or go out on their own. This route is simple, from the meeting spot 83 south to Coshocton, no route posting needed. Once our group gets there others will be leading with their own route. These are people I have ridden with in the past and I trust them to lead as I would. The ride down is straight and boring except for the last 20 miles. The pace will be at about 70 MPH except for small towns posted at speeds other than 55 MPH. When I pass a car I will go faster than 70 MPH to give riders behind me space to safely fall in line in front of the car being passed. The last 20 miles will be at the pace you should expect to see in the front group on the Coshocton ride. You can read this as speeds might increase to more than 70 MPH in the curves and slow back down to 70 MPH between them. Most people fall in line behind someone who is just slightly faster than them so no racing is happening, its single file in the curves. I will make a head count before we leave and recount at all stops unless our group is over ten riders then we will be using a sweep rider. If you have to leave the ride make sure someone else in the group is told so we don't go looking for you.

Not out of line but not necessary at this point, but if some think what this ride is isn’t clear maybe I can try to make things clearer. Some skill will be required this isn't a MSF course. The only two things I asked were the willingness to exceed the speed limit and pass on double yellows. If these two things go against your better judgment then this ride won't be for you. I don't care if you park it in the corners if you want to get some experience with a group of people along for support this is your opportunity. You will also get to ride some great roads along with the opportunity to talk with and get help from riders with more experience. More experienced riders out for a good time can expect that the group will be policed for folks who are not acting right whether it is on purpose or unknowingly, that way they don't have to worry too much about their ride being ruined. Accidents can happen at any time though, even when all precautions are being taken, your comfort level is up to you and everyone is expected to help with policing the ranks. The only people who would be offended by such scrutiny are people who shouldn't be on this ride. If we wanted everyone to have the same riding abilities we would have called the people we know to get together. That's not what happened here, it was posted for everyone to join in so different skill levels are expected.

Uncle Punk is black?

^ There's a guy who doesn't just mess around with the tip! We now have two people on the list, both of the Northeast black guys.

I know no one can be that stupid and still carry on life without a guardian watching them. To comment again about meeting everyone, no way does anyone want 4,300 bikes to show up for this ride. Everyone just ignore Adam, he is trying to be as big of an idiot as he can be to piss people off so the crowd won't get too big for him to handle. I think he should just shut the fuck up and take it like a man.
-
I will make a list of the folks riding down from the Northeast that are starting from the 82 & 83 meeting spot if any of them will commit. I think that will be hard to do because most of them are too busy fucking around in the thread for me to make any sense of it at all. I will update the first post when or if I can make a list; if nothing else I will be there. You can also watch the Dayton thread on this topic for their list, Columbus might be starting one to watch also. There is no reason for you to ride over to our meeting spot unless you want to, just going to Coshocton would be easier for you and many others so I wouldn't expect to see those type people on any list.

FOR SALE: 2009 Buell City X Cherry Bomb Red. For real this time.
Uncle Punk replied to InyaAzz's topic in LBTS GLWS
Is someone selling something here? Notice how John's busa for sale thread has nothing but good things to say about him and the bike? I wonder........................ -
Ohhh you're so good to me.
-
I love the graphics on the Suomy helmets, nice helmets too but I find they run a little small not a whole size like the Scorpions do though. GLWS! On a personal note seeing as how you are from the area. If I wanted to go from Elkhorn City, KY to Ironton, OH on a decent motorcycle road what would you suggest? I am looking at 52 but am worried about small town stops and road conditions. I have been on 23 many times in a car and once on a bike but thought I would try something else because it would be kind of boring for a ride with buddies even though you can make decent time on it.
-
I have already posted in the other thread, no Katanas or something like that.
-
See this is why we don't make the yellow dude upset around here, he is fucking hilarious.
-
That is funny my actual nieces and nephews call me Uncle Punk that’s where my screen name came from. Fuck you Nick what’s wrong with being fifty? We all hope to be fifty one day, some are closer than others.

I agree that the expensive tools don't cost more because the workers are paid more but the profit margin is what we were talking about and keeping workers employed just for the sake of employment regardless of the bottom line. We can discuss why people are satisfied with an inferior product if you would like but that would take us away from employment entitlement. I would agree we have two very good examples of our governments ability to do things well our armed forces and the dot. These two things are what our federal government is supposed to be doing and there is no one in the world doing a better job at these two tasks. The rest of your list is up for much debate I know of a few people in New Orleans who think the army corps of engineers were lacking in their duties, I can also point out many, many cases where they have implemented a course of action only to reverse that course because they boxed themselves into an unintended consequence.

More important news on the racism front. http://www.theonion.com/video/use-of-nword-may-end-porn-stars-career,14174/

We don't mention yellow as colored around here it makes Jbot feel like he doesn't fit in. We just won't bring the monkey to the church for the pre-ride prayer.

A businesses major revenue resource is its customers, if you have driven them away from over pricing your product by trying to maintain an indulgent workforce you have to change or you will no longer exist to be profitable. Jobs are not owed to people by a company that sounds just like a government entity with its workers thinking they are entitled to a job and we all know how efficient the government is let alone how responsible they are in watching how they spend money.

Damn, 19 pages in about 24 hours and we are about two weeks away. There is no such thing as a small Coshocton ride.

That's a no, do I have to make a list you will obey?
-
The parking lot has a church attached to it, all the colored bikes could park at the church so we can have them prayed over before the ride, can't be too careful.
