  1. I'd happily let a group of HDs pass me when I'm on the CBR Maybe next time I pass a group of really slow HDs, I'll get in front and go even slower.
  2. Here you go. $2300. http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/mcy/4456357492.html
  3. Years ago I got some really good advice from one of the most skilled riders (street & track) that I've ever ridden with. On the street, don't finish your turns near the double yellow...this is for right handers specifically. Start your right turn as far to the left as possible and finish as far to the right as possible. This isn't the fastest race line, but when you have some lazy cager coming the other way and they drift into your lane to start their turn, you'll be in the best position to avoid them. This has saved my skin many times.
  4. If a Blast met your power needs than the 250 probably would also. But... That Bandit or an SV650 can be had for under 2500, and are better bkes in more ways than just power. Plus, I hear very few people complaining that their bike has too much hp and it ruins their fun.
  5. I thought the belt drive on the F800 was pretty cool until I found out new belts are $450 each. I don't hate chains that much.
  6. Hate to say it but I am starting to believe this. I tried to buy a loaded F800S last week. There are sooo many known problems on that bike it's scary. Apparently the pistons aren't sized correctly on some years and the motor will start eating itself around 10k
  7. This is why I shouldn't post rides too far in advance. ...it turns out that I may not be able to ride on Sat. I may have to watch kids to due to a changing work schedule. If that's the case I'll ride the same route Sunday instead. A Saturday can still happpen, I just might not be able to make it. I should know for sure by Tuesday.
  8. I'll ride sunday if I can avoid rain.

    Work Boots

    It depends on how heavy duty you need. Does your company pay a work boot allowance? Some do.

    Work Boots

    Redwings are expensive but worth it. Carhartt boots are good quality for the $$.
  12. We'll need a sweep for this ride. Any volunteers? I'll post a route as soon as I find some time. I am on vacation today. Sent from my office.
  13. The thing I find the most disturbing is when crazy people don't know they're crazy. You shouldn't turn your back on that kind of crazy.
  14. Another US road racing series? http://www.riderfiles.com/dornas-top-secret-plan-for-road-racing-in-america/
  15. We actualy did an intervention. My friend checked into a hospital and agreed to go into inpatient rehab. When it was time to actully go into rehab he refused. He is literally drinking himselft to death. Drinking at least a bottle of vodka a day, not eating, lost like 40lbs in 3 months, etc. He's a good guy and a good friend, but he's going down an awful path and has no control. It's ugly.
  16. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd.
  17. How did you approach it? Did it work? What was the outcome?
  18. Let's say I took your lunch money, but denied doing it. Does that make me weak...no. More of a bully and a liar. see 3:48-4:02
  19. I don't agree with Putin's actions but he isn't weak. How is forcing what he wanted to happen in the face of the entire international community, including the US, weak? Who showed more weakness in that situation...Putin or Obama? Shall we take a vote?
  20. Does Supercross have that much of a bigger fan base? Beause that shit is always on TV.
