It in great shape, nice leather, all the armor is there.  Size 42, cut for a slim build.

It's been sitting in my closet.  Pickup in N Ridgeville.

Sure, but there is a trade off. The gap is pretty much all you get. It cannot outweigh the times you had the s3 over and back on the Cherohala. I call shenanigans. 

Riding a grom to the top of the Cherohala would be... painful.

The dd/mm/yyyy format is 99% downside wrt any sane way you'd want to sort it. 

The sysadmins set our JIRA to have this as the default date format and they deserve to be on the same level of hell as the people that refuse to return shopping carts to the cart corral.

YYYYMMDD

Then you can sort by date in a text field.

When I was riding 12-15k/year (for 15 years) of hardcore twisties, I was getting some serious nerve issues in my clutch hand.  It's not as bad now because I have less time to ride, but I still have nerve issues.

Things like DCT and quick shifters will extend my riding career 👍

You can use a heat gun or a lighter.  These would be handy for repairs in the field.

I'm going to use them for my GPS connectors.

I didn't know these were a thing until last week.  They look perfect for motorcycle applications.   I ordered some and I'll be trying them out.

@theroamr and I passed through woodsfield a few hours ago.

You could check completed listings on eBay and look at just the ones that actually sold.

Yea, 4000 mile 2up trips not happening on that.

Prob not, but it would tour 4000 miles 1up just fine, and carve up corners like a sport bike.

Just don't ride my beemer.  I'd hate to see you sell the Honda.

The fastest pass I ever did on the dragon was on that CB500x.  The suspension was terrific for those tight turns.

Medina is close-ish.  They are quick.

that vrod was actually not horrible except that the forward controls would drag if you tipped it over more than 5 degrees.   a really neat bike otherwise. 

I briefly owned the Street Rod version of the V Rod.  It had a shorter wheelbase, mid controls, a higher seat, and Showa suspension.

The riding position felt pretty similar to a Street Triple...riding it felt like strapping 200 lbs of unnecessary steel to a ST.  The steering was sloooow, the brakes were garbage, and the power delivery was very peaky.  It did have good ground clearance & was reasonably planted in corners, but you had to pick your line early.

It was definitely designed by someone that had little experience with sporty motorcycles.

Sills is $20? I was quoted more than that when I took my GS wheel to them.. and that is where I bought the bike. I believe she quoted me $35. 

They could have raised prices, but I've probably had them change 20 tires and it's always been $25 off the bike.

I think Sills Honda can come close to that. I just had 2 done, it was around there.

$25 per tire off the bike

Sold

We should start a thread where we ask for relationship advice in a "dear Abby/Pauly" style column and you can just shit on people.  I could fap to that. 

How can I improve my relationship with Bourbon?

I should be able to do a ride during a weekend as long as it doesn't take forever. Got heated gear and shit.   Gixxus, you should get a diavel, it's the only cruiser like bike that is super comfy, light and fast as fuuuuuuck. Also cause I don't want to be the only moron who got suckered into buying a diavel

What kind of pace can that be ridden in tighter curves?

Can't deprive ourselves of one of the best mental health outlets during these stressful times. Plus it actually keeps you away from a lot of people!

Plenty of distance, gloves and a face shield...and a motorcycle is way faster than Corona virus.

I haven’t done anything to my bike or even rode it this year. Been being good and staying home. Done with that shit. Need to put the battery in her and change the oil and front pads. 

Riding is 100% ok per Ohio's social distancing guidelines.

I really wanted to own one with active suspension, when ever I had rode rentals always been impressed by it. One of my biggest weakness/fear is uneven pavement or irregularities could never managed to pick speed or rhythm in there. 

It took me a couple rides to get used to it.  Like if there were bumps before a corner I'd expect to feel the chassis get unsettled a bit before  I leaned it in. I'd see bumps and prepare for them....but the bike stays planted over bumps and through the corner.

The learning curve is short. I notice the difference when riding the N400.

Someone should buy this before I do.  That's a really good price.
