  1. My grandfather was a WWII combat veteran, fought in the Asian Theatre, strong christian man that never swore even when golfing, couldn't shake his strong dislike for those JAPS. Seemed completely out of character for him to have a harsh word about anyone but apparently those wounds cut deep and forever.

    Riding Those bikes is like have two evil dark angels on both shoulders, no one is advising to slow down. Such a hoot but dangerous. The Xr was the perfect bike for me, in term of comfort handling weight height  ergonomics electronics everything  perfect fit. Still don’t know why I went with this piggy 

    Wait! Do you have three bikes now or did one go towards the Busa? (Please don't let it be the XR, I really want a new one)

    I have had a Busa and understand you wanting one kinda but kinda not.

    Mine was a 2005, the bike fit me better than any bike I had ever ridden, I put the most miles on it in the shortest period of time than with any bike I've ever owned, 15,000 miles in 16 months. It was a fantastic bike for riding on the street, I did my first three track days on it, totaled it on the third trackday. What a fun capable bike that does the backroads better than expected.

    What I don't get other than your cultural issue is the ZX14 gave you everything the Busa has.

    PS. Watching you ride the XR in your posted videos I'm impressed with how well you handle that thing.

    There’s a pool table, hot tub, and a garage for the bikes. I think it’s two couples and me, at the moment. A lot of guys bailed.

    Seriously, let me know….

     

    Damn, under "normal" circumstances I would take you up on such an offer. I happen to have a memorial service for someone that is impossible for me to not be part of during your trip.

    Have fun

    haha I just saw Nivin got a busa. That man has already owned more motorcycles than I will during my entire life.

    Really???

    He already has a 890R and a second gen S1000XR. What the hell is his problem?

     

    I'm really jealous of the new current XR. 

  5. You are correct. I read the story wrong. I now have a better picture of what took place. The BMW guy probably lacks much riding experience, he was frustrated riding along with the Goldwing guy because the BMW is too tall for him, the jealousy takes over and hijacks people's brains when performing complex tasks.

  6. I have stopped someone from putting diesel in their motorcycle, the guy and his wife both thanked me a couple of times. This was in Tellico Plains, TN, most folks down there are nicer.

    Why is it always a Goldwing rider though?

  7. Congratulations! No more scraping parts when riding at a brisk pace.

    Riding a GSA will make a believer out of anyone, I anticipate owning one someday. Hoping for the rumors of BMW putting a triple in them with some horsepower to compete with the KTM and Ducati, if that happens I will be an early adopter.

    Our ride down south turned out perfect, 1,260 miles for the three day weekend and it seemed to be raining where we weren't. Didn't get to try out the new Klim rain gear. No tickets, close calls or breakdowns.

    The guys I was with rode through a roadside car wash where a waterfall comes over a cliff beside the road and were surprise by how cold the water was but they rode through it on the way back. We rode up and down the five mile dirt/gravel road to hike up Birch Knob Tower to see supposedly five states from where we were standing. 

    Got to try our skills out against the squids hanging out on 421, had trouble passing a Kia Sportage and Chevy Cruze, those locals can hustle through the backroads. Ate some decent meals in Tazewell, VA where we stayed Saturday and Sunday night.

  8. More over moderation at it's finest. Why can't we be free to live our best life without moderators trying to save us from ourselves.

    10K messages out to all the members? There are that many registered members? The other 9,992 members need to step it up it's awfully quiet around here. 

  9. Those old guns belong in museums. The loose bitches can't be that picky so I can understand how they would be satisfied with inferior accommodations.

    I assumed all the 1911s were just safe queens since they are horrible carry weapons they don't need holsters.

    It's Gost Rider from 2014 Fall Epic that tried to bait us in the fast group on route 56 in the Hocking region.

    He was quickly intercepted by our ride  comander.

    I can't believe that was so long ago, really making me feel old. I really wish I had the restraint Tpoppa  has/had. Nothing bad happened but I regret showing some ass that day since part of it wasn't really all that safe.

    I hope I'm referring to the same incident otherwise, nevermind.

    Sounds like this has happened to you before :lol:.

    Yes, it was a circle jerk of a conversation which left me feeling abandoned and alone.

    Ego's used to be much more fragile in those days.

    Not mine though, since I used to the the fastest sport bike rider in Ohio... until this guy came along.

    I mean, I knew this day would eventually come, I just didn't think it would take this long.  I'll just have to settle on being the smartest, coolest, wealthiest, sexiest, and most humble rider in Ohio now. 😔

    ^^^ This guy right here is really trying to be the biggest shit stirrer in this thread.

    Sexiest? Please! It's a well established fact that BMW riders are the sexiest, especially black guys riding a white bike. The contrast makes everything look bigger.

  12. It can't possibly be safe to ride with someone that is this fast. All they are going to do is attract the police then they will run away so fast you are left to deal with the aftermath.

    This is why whenever possible you ride with people that are slower than you are. Perhaps the OP shouldn't have let the cat out of the bag about how awesomely fast he is if he wants others to play with him.

    Besides who rides a sport bike anymore, most of us are on slow old man bikes currently.
