    2019 Gap Trip.

    Not even close to a strong maybe. I have a big trip planned for this summer and can't commit the time to this trip because of it. Not saying that I won't get a wild hair but work and weather have to cooperate.
  2. A Katana is never to be rented in the Coshocton area. You have been warned.
  3. Don't care what you bought, the obvious answer for the criteria posted is T-Max, if you bought something else you are wrong.
  4. Didn't they say never mind to the closing or have they said never mind to the never mind that I don't know about? At any rate those helmets should be gone, they discounted all the good stuff to go and this helmet was some of the good stuff.
  5. No one is going to believe this but it is probably my 2004 ZX12R. I always leave my bikes stock for the most part but I bought that bike used for a really good deal and it had a full exhaust system with a power commander and it had been dyno tuned, it also had the gearing changed to -1/+2. It was the most rowdy obnoxious thing in the world to ride but it was a blast. The crazy thing would get to 167MPH right now then just bang off of the rev limiter. I have tried to duplicate that ride several times because it was so much fun and have only been successful completing it when by myself. Something always seems to happen to cut the route short. I won't ever forget that off road excursion and can easily find it on the map. It's on Wolf Pen Gap Road, going from Suches to 19 at Lake Winfield Scott Dam. Biggest crash I never had.
  6. I'm comfortable using too much horsepower and riders aids to compensate for my age. My current bike isn't close to being my favorite but it sure is comfortable, for that it gets to stay a couple more years. You should have no problems making the new bike just as comfortable as any bike. Bonus is that it won't run out of steam up top unlike the tractor twins.
  7. And just like that they are back in business

    2019 Gap Trip.

    It seems that there is interest in people going but I'm suspect of the crowd. I got some weird text a while back that seemed too much like a grinder setup to make any commitment to when or where. If the drunk or stoner that texted me could figure out technology better organizing might actually appear organized.
  9. Sorry to hear of you closing up shop. I haven't bought much the past couple years but you guys were always my go to when I did.
  10. I read this at first and thought it was a gay Harley thread. Turns out I was wrong and it's a gay bicycle thread.

    Hey Tpoppa

    200 miles on a Grom? I'm getting gas at 120 miles with a 5.2 gallon tank. There must be something wrong with my bike. I should use the cruise control more, that might help.
  12. That space is only because it isn't rented. It's the other half of our shop and once it gets rented it will go back amongst the clutter. Anyone looking for light industrial space to rent we have 5,200 sqft for rent in Grafton, Ohio

    AR Pistols?

    Been thinking of the same thing. It would just be a toy and if it doesn't work well I have the means to make it work so cheap is where I've been headed. ARs are stupid simple so overspending isn't needed unless you want to go match shooting. https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-10-5-5-56-nato-1-7-phosphate-classic-shockwave-pistol-kit-black-5165449130.html https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-ar-15-complete-classic-pistol-lower-no-magazine-black.html
  14. I am not volunteering to organize anything. I usually stay in Robbinsville, NC at Phillips Motel. It's a crappy place in the middle of town but it's cheap. You can walk to a Mexican restaurant, McDonalds and Wendys. It's close to the Cherohala Skyway and 17 miles from the Gap store. Back in the day the Busa Bash used to rent the whole place out. It has a new owner now so the prices have gone up.
  15. That fancy 1K should be able to keep up with anyone I can think of and especially now that a lot of the older guys have moved on to comfortable instead of fast bikes. If you are in the low 40 and Mid-Ohio you can keep pace with any street ride.
  16. Will you be able to work from home?

    Hey Tpoppa

    Not that I ever ran times this fast but those little kids on the KTM 125's were running 1:35/1:36s for the rookie cup.
  18. Having a Grom to play among them has to be as much fun as you can have on two wheels, you should really enjoy that. I would suggest that if there is a group going down to avoid being there at the same time though. Those little fuckers are everywhere and they travel in packs clogging up the road. Not that big of a deal if you venture out away from the Gap but a royal pain in the ass on the gap. Those slow little shits are fine to pass when there are only two or three of them but mob mentality turns them into big assholes in a pack.

    This is a mess that is easily avoided. Don't get married!

    Hey Tpoppa

    Wow what a bunch of technical jargon meant to ruin a good time. If you want to go fast you need to be able to brake effectively. You can generate way more g-force from braking than you can from accelerating plus it's way more fun to stop hard than it is to accelerate hard.
  21. If you can count and keep track of how many rounds, magazines or guns you own you don't have enough. I sold seven guns last year, don't remember how many I bought in the past year and have no clue or desire to know how many I own. I started to keep some at other locations a few years ago.
  22. Four is the perfect amount for someone that wants a nice car but can't afford one.
  23. The bike has been put to bed for the winter. Time to start planning next years rides.
  24. Goodnight Chesty wherever you are! Semper Fi
