  1. He defiantly wasn't a racer or I would have pushed him out of the way.(But wouldn't have needed to because he would have been faster if he were.) It was a disappointing trip for me, I trolled the busa sites hearing of all these tales of high speed runs and complaining about Harley riders being rude, only to be meet with a bunch of busa riders behaving the same way.

  2. Right now I have two options available for Sunday and I might add a third one of my own.

    If I get FREE tickets to Mid-Ohio that's my first choice.

    I have been invited on a ride not associated with this site that will be a fun one but one Jinx would not be welcome at because they like to see gear even though Jinx is faster than I am. (I may not ride with him either day)

    I have a route which stays in Ohio that is 400 miles long, I would like to try. If enough local people are interested from up here I could do that ride instead.

    All choices are weather permitting of coarse. I will get caught in the rain but won’t plan riding in it.

  3. The bike is in its proper class now and I agree the work that is done to these bikes takes away from being stock so who cares by how much as long as they are within the guidelines everyone else are in.

    The weight change rule however did not affect the Buell; the bike was already over the new weight so no weight was actually added to the bike.

  4. I was down at the gap a few years ago on my busa at a busa rally. A guy showed up with his father (Who was riding a busa.) riding a 1k with full leathers. He was an obnoxious little bastard that wouldn't let anyone around him just like some of the prick Harley riders do. He was just fast enough that going around him without him letting you would have been hard or dangerous for both of us so I went off away from them and rode on my own.

    Later that night I heard him complaining that yellow wolf came by him and pushed him out of the way.

  5. Off the bike, returned to you in eight working days (Six possibly.) $125 plus shipping. Replace seals, new fluids. Let me know if you are interested. I work in Grafton and can let you use the gun case I use to ship my forks in.

  6. Now you’re talking Adam, let’s see if we can get more than 21 bikes this time. You did a fine job handling that much last time we'll just keep piling more on until you can't handle it.

    Yea, our needling him finally worked. Don’t forget any rain; it’s a bust and your entire fault.

  7. The dragon might be disappointing in a car because you don't have the safety concerns like you do on a bike. There are no driveways or side roads entering the dragon plus there are people there who keep the corners clean of gravel for the most part. It is a very short road compared to 555 being about 60 miles long; it also lacks the blind rises the 555 has. It is a much safer road to ride hard on I think that is its draw for people. Cars don't necessarily need to be concerned about gravel on the inside of a turn or worry about having to brake hard in a turn because someone is backing out of their driveway. This is why it makes a better motorcycle destination.

    For what it’s worth I haven’t been back to the dragon since I discovered 555 and there are other roads in Ohio that are comparable to it. No reason to go that far when you can ride roads closer to home and sleep in my bed at night.

  8. I haven't tried it going to the river yet but I hear it's a different road in that direction just like 536 is different the opposite direction. I hear it has a two wheel launch going toward the river. I have not had my front off the ground coming from the river on it so I must not be going fast enough.

  9. Unfortunately Yamaha will be producing the VMax in limited numbers again for 2010. They limited them to 2,500 for 2009 and only sold 1,800. Many were hoping that the limited production would be just for the first year but that will not be the case. So no dealing with the asking price for another year and you still need to make a $1,000 deposit to order one.

  10. Congratulation!!! I have no idea what the hell you are talking about though.

    Speaking of the crash Saturday night I have a PM in my box that came in when the crash happened. It doesn't appear to be for me and no matter what I do with it the damn thing is still there as a current notification. Help please.

  11. Michigan SUCKS!

    I love driving up there though. Rules of the road do apply except following the speed limit. Do not go up there and drive like most people do in Ohio you will be waved at with the one finger salute. We used to show dogs and traveled into Michigan quite often, I have also traveled there for training on software that I use for work, anytime there was a traffic hold up is was some asshole from Ohio.

    It never occurred to me to ask for an officer’s number but then again I'm not on the down low.
