This is seriously the best handling street bike I've ridden. It's a perfect back roads weapon. If there was a way to power the front wheel it would be a great unicycle. The front end feel and response is awesome. If there is any flaw with the bike it's that it could use a couple more cylinders to get to the proper four count that all motorcycles should posses.

They got my nephew and me both for $500 each, they also got a local riding buddy/friend of mine for $250. Hoping that the TVA runs it for a couple years before someone buys the lease and that the TVA honors the gift cards. I really doubt a new for profit company leasing the contract will be honoring the gift cards. I doubt that this was blatant fraud, while they might have been in trouble there was no way for them to predict the pandemic. It was a great way for them to generate some operating capital.

I wasn't running into groups that large, mostly under 10 at a time. I mostly had issues with the ones by themselves. They are riding as fast as the bike can go, taking up the whole road and can't imagine someone wanting by. Slow cruiser guys are predictable and it's easy to pass them when they don't notice anyone behind them. The Grom nuts are all over the road and can't believe someone is behind them since they are going as fast as that bike can go.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/AdventureRidersOhio/?ref=bookmarks I rode my street bike with these guys about a week ago. They do easy to difficult rides. The easy ride was really easy since my street bike with sport touring tires didn't struggle keeping up.

If it wasn't for quick shifter/auto blipper I wouldn't still be riding. Looking forward to a motorcycle that has an automatic transmission as good as a PDK.

I had heard many tales about how the groms were taking over the Dragon and passing everything in sight. I thought it was plausible too since the worst spanking I've ever taken there was from a 2smoke 250. Different story once I was there to the point that the slow things are annoying and even less cooperative than the cruisers. To be fair I did happen to stumble upon several groups of them and it's normal for people in groups to act like jerks. I will say that it was way, way more fun to ride a 250 scooter there than a 1K sport bike.

Told you it was too far from the good roads. You are there for opportunity that will benefit your family not good riding.
-
On second thought I might be wrong about that. People do consider those little 125 things as motorcycles. (Groms, Monkeys, Z125) While they might be fun they are annoying to be around, blocking any fun road that they are on.

This is one of the cool ridiculous things that could MORGA. Even get things moved to Ranting and Raving where the real fun begins. You might have been okay with the wheel showing statement without the mid corner added because a well set up Harley can move in a 1/4 mile but there ain't never been a Harley made to show anything a wheel mid corner. Nice try at being silly though.
-
As it should be, for you specifically. This is extra funny since one of the first epic rides ended without a pre planned end or a complete loop to the original starting point. Monkeys go find your own way home. @Skinny guy has a hot bike!

For some reason I can't edit the post above again. My brother moved his family to that area nine years ago for the future of his daughter. Good move Dad.

I spent a month in that area from February to March this year, most of it at Duke. The Research Triangle is a great up and coming place. To bad it's so far from good riding but it's closer to the beach if you're into that kind of thing. I have family in Apex, just outside of Cary.

What have I missed and what am I missing? I thought you already left us and went to that state up north. I remember the Monster ZX6 that had a couple scratches on both sides of it the first time we rode together. Inyazz was there leading and I stayed back with you to keep you safe and connected to the group. Wow, have you improved since then and no longer need help. Thanks for all your advice in PMs and don't be a stranger, this internet thing works from everywhere you're at.

Need to know the OR member that fucked you, the rest of the members can probably find a way to make them pay

I usually find the member I'm looking for hanging between my legs.

Not wanting to brag too much but my Hayden is better than your Hayden.

If you have three Quantum Xs how is it you don't have this one already? If you don't it's too late now because I don't want to see you show up for a ride looking like we tried to dress alike.

I'm a whore for other things too, like shotguns........

If there is a rich man in the area three villages are ruined.

This is an acceptable turn of events even though this wasn't overly discussed and pondered publicly.

Where the fuck you think you're going?

My old helmet timed out last September so had to replace it for this years riding season. I will be spending the rest of tonight updating the software for my Navigator VI and the Sena 30K then installing the speakers and microphone in the new helmet. I'm going to miss the old helmet, spent many fun miles looking out of it over the past couple years.

Very sorry to hear about this, I have a bit of knowledge on the subject and would suggest that you seek help at the Cleveland Clinic Mellen center. I'm a little surprised that it has been determined which of the types you have so quickly. At one point in time they identified five types of MS now they only classify four types. Treatment and prognosis is as different for each type just as how differently each type effects individual people. Do not think that your future looks just like anyone else you know or hear about. Modern treatments and outlooks are getting better at a rapid pace and you should take some comfort in that. Currently it can be very expensive to be on maintenance medication. One of the problems you will face is that the best latest medicine isn't recognized by all insurance carriers and the out of pocket expenses can be extraordinary until it gets recognized at which time the next best thing is out in the market. Not to worry though most of the drug companies have good reduced rates even for people with high incomes. My advice would be for you to kill this thread. If you are honest with future employers about your social profiles and they find this you could find yourself getting passed over for jobs or promotions. An employer never knows how often you will have an episode or for what duration it will last. It's hard to depend on the workload you can produce. I know the legalities of those decisions and I also know the realities that go into those decisions. Just a friendly piece of advise.
