You have my number right?

I don't recall riding 146 or 79 even though I may have, what are they like?

JBot? What's your status?

Littlecarbsbigsmiles is also going to be scouting route 60 for water. The last time he was on it there wasn't any and it hasn't rained since then so it should be okay. He did mention that ClevetheGreat's corner has a lot of gravel in it.

Not that I don't want to ride with you guys but if it were me I would trailer down to the parking lot across from Adam Parks house in Coshocton, meet everyone for lunch, ride the ride to Newark then head back to Coshocton, trailer home. Meeting me in Grafton still gives you 60 miles of straight roads to ride and truthfully it's quite boring until Millersburg so you will only have 20 miles of good road before the lunch stop. I intend to take the CSBA route up 79 to 60 across 39 to 83 to get back home. You guys can break off at any time from there or head down 83 back to Coshocton. I don't know where Inya or Tpoppa are meeting the group but they will end up doing the same route again if we break off from the CSBA group at the same time.

RPMs at corner entry is about your gear selection not the gearing your bike has. You guys should explain this a little better for him.

Trailer over to my shop it's five miles away from the meeting spot we might even be able to put it in the building when we're gone but wouldn't need to because it's not something anyone would see outside. Get here earlier though. The KTM I am excited to see.

If the brothers were traveling side by side and one of them was able to stop before and impact took place the speed might not have been that fast on the riders part. If one was in a wheelie and the other wasn't the car should have seen the bike not doing the wheelie and not pulled out. I'm guessing the one that hit the car wasn't a very good rider and couldn't stop in time or was on one wheel.

Yep, thats the place. The Circle-K is where I'll be. If there are no other riders who plan to meet me there I can meet you in Lodi at the Pilot about 10:30. Are you riding or trailering?

Based on what knowledge do you come to the conclusion that the police monitor this site to plan traps for the group rides? It has never happened on any ride that I have been on nor have I heard of it happening to any other group ride. Making up stupid shit to post only makes you look stupid, you should probably stop.

The thread title stated " Late night wheelie collision next to my neighborhood" The article stated that two brothers were riding together and the wrecked bike didn't look like a Blackbird. Fairly safe bet that it wasn't you so yes funny. I missed the part where someone could die but I can see how a drama queen, insecure, attention whore could go there. Keep responding to me and we might get somewhere.

I have refrained from commenting in your threads for the most part, what you have been doing around here doesn't bother me, but if you post up stupid shit you can expect it to be brought back up in your face. You don't get to dictate how others respond to your posts and only have yourself to blame if you get offended because you have supplied the ammo to seal your fate. If you can't handle that sit the fuck down and shut up for a while until you get a better lay of the land.

Basically my experience with police auctions as well. Anything worth having is bid up past what a good private owner deal would be. I imagine it's hit or miss depending on who shows up but the more publicity an auction gets the worse your chances are of getting a good deal. I have even seen an extreme case where and auction was advertized and discussed so much in the local paper that a Corvette sold for more than I could have bought one at a dealer.

Just a splinter, sorry about your lunch. I thought there would be more response for riding down to and around the Coshocton area. I am ready to ride if the rain holds off Saturday. New brake fluid, oil change, cleaned and lubed the chain last night, ready to roll.

After a couple tries I only made it out once last year after I got the splinter in my finger. The last two hours of riding were very uncomfortable. This will be the first time since then riding a motorcycle, scooters don't count. http://www.ohioriders.net/showthread.php?t=65562

Normally I would agree with you but this will be my first time out on a motorcycle this year so a break might be just what I need for my finger. I asked JCMathis to reverse his route so us Northeast guys could join in and not have to turn around and ride the road we came down on. Meeting them at their lunch stop is way more certain than trying to meet them along their flying route it gives both groups a larger window for circumstances beyond their control to make up time.

For all of the Northeast riders who are interested I will be leaving from the intersection of 82 & 83 at 10:00 sharp. To meet this group at Roscoe Village for lunch and to continue the ride with them until they cross Newark at route 79, at that point we will head home. We may see this group along 83 because both groups will be getting to Roscoe Village about 11:30 to 12:00. If there is much interest in riding along with me to join the CSBA group I will start another thread for the Northeast guys who are interested if it becomes confusing to organize here. For everyone who have wanted to ride with this group this is a great opportunity because they vary their routes and this might be our only chance to get together with them. I trailered down to their start point last year, rode the ride and trailered back home, both trips I was driving in the dark at some point. This is a good group and fun to ride with. JCMathis leads at a pace similar to mine for a reference to the riders who have ridden with me. This will be their ride once we make contact with them.

Sorry no back door rentals this year since they have a contract with a rental company that will be violated if caught doing so. The standard rate is $100 a day for scooters and cruisers that they have in the rental system. A lot of that number is fixed cost so not much of a discount to be had, PM me for more info if still interested.

Don't you boys hurt this kid! This should turn out to be a very slow ride just to say you did it.

The soonest we will be there is 10:15 but really have no clue actual time because no passing will be taking place on the way down. It might be hard to figure when the group will make it to New Concord so we can pick up the guys from Columbus. You can always go to Nelson, this ride may never happen again. Rode the new scooter a little and need to relearn how to ride something without engine braking, wholly shit there is absolutely none. The rear shocks are for shit and hate to be upset when compressed by a bump in a curve, it's very bad when two up. I need to check to see what settings the rear shocks are at, will probably be going to the hardest setting to keep it from bottoming out. I haven't found much too bad about the front shocks because the rear is so bad but that will change once I get the front brakes bled and new fluids replaced. The scooter is a leftover 2009 with less than 300 miles that must have air and moisture in the system because they fade really quickly. I went to the Pride of Cleveland Scooter store to see if they had a mounting kit for the free top box I scored but no luck. (Made a mounting kit myself.) They did have a windshield in stock for my scooter so I bought it, stupid spur of the moment purchase at full retail, I hate doing that especially when there is a 30% markup on Givi but it was there and I didn't have to wait. I love the thing it's over my head and no more eyes watering when I'm squiding out with just sunglasses as my only protective gear. I may have to cut it to get it into my trailer though it's that tall. I haven't touched any hard parts yet but need to get the rest of the things sorted out before really pushing it. It goes get slowed down going up grades but will accelerate faster than an Ninja 250 going down a grade with a higher top speed. I really need to control myself when trying to make a pass. The 1K will pass at will in stupid quick fashion, the scooter not so much. I scared myself, an oncoming car and the car I was passing in the Metro Park making a pass that shouldn’t have been attempted.

I don't know what model I have but it doesn't have the side curtain airbags. Does the SS for sale have a sun roof and rain sensing wipers or am I not seeing it in the description? Towing package?

It has the side curtain airbags? That was a fairly expensive option at the time and a possible good selling point for people looking for that option.
