Where are you checking? I checked Fontana Dam a few minutes ago it was 30%-40%-30%-40%

Who else is compulsively checking the forecast?

Good to meet you James. You're a level headed rider and did quite well on those roads. We ride most weekends the weather cooperates. That was a typical CORE ride & route, although we try to behave when riding with someone new.

I logged about 475 miles today. Weather was damn near perfect. Roads were mostly in really good shape.

Me and Roamr are meeting in Bolivar.

Let's meet at the intersection of 83/93 at 10a. PM me your number and I'll text you when we leave Bolivar.

I'm trying to accomodate people that are spread out geographically. We are meeting at the Bolivar Speedway at 9a. If we go to WV, we will be heading east on 212 and won't go anywhere near Coshocton. The other option is to stay in Ohio and take 93 to 83 (intersect in Otsego) and loop through McConnelsville, Marietta, Woodsfield, etc. Either way it will be a nice day of twisty backroads.

We're going to meet at the bolivar speedway at 9. We can either head east on 212toward WV or take 93 s to 83. Where could you meet?

Route hasn't been decided yet, but SEO we might even pop into WV to hit a couple tasty roads. We're coming from Cleveland, but the actual fun part will start in Bolivar and end in Uhrichsville. Pace won't be crazy fast in straights...corner speed will be as quick as confidence and conditions allow. Still deciding on meet time, but it will be early-ish.

I've had 3 Buells, but not currently.

There will be a small group heading out of Bolivar tomorrow morning. The pace will be brisk.

At least buy a nice professionally done custom http://cleveland.craigslist.org/mcy/4494833730.html

I've been a PM for 17 years. I've had a PMP for the last 5. I took the 4 day PMTI prep course. M-Th then you take the test on Friday. I literally did zero prep before the course and did not study at all outside the course. I passed the test with room to spare. I've always had good test taking skills though. Thoughts on having a PMP... --It will most likely not make you a better PM. --It definitely will help you get more interviews for PM positions. Some places won't even read your resume if you dont have a PMP. --It will get you more money. 10-15k more per year is reasonable. If you do large unique projects completely from scratch, PMP methodology is helpful. My projects are software implementation & customization. We do lots of similar projects over and over, I've managed something like 400-500 projects. I would estimate that 15-25% if the PMP methodology is applicable to our business model.

Is this specifically for the PMP or something else?

When's the last time you heard of an actual blowout resulting from a plug failing?

If you're looking for something more comfortable for the twisties, here's a good price on a 2013 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kawasaki-Other-2013-KAWASAKI-Z1000-C-S-/321418528281?forcerrptr=true&hash=item4ad6098619&item=321418528281&pt=US_motorcycles

I'm no expert on cruiser tires...but by any chance is it a dual compound tire? I remember Bridgestone had issues with 'steps' forming at the compound change and it caused some bizarre looking wear patterns.

Kawi recomends 26? What is the max pressure listed on the sidewall?

Wow! Is this bike that rare?

In that case

Are there any shops close the Gap that would do a while-u-wait tire chage without raping you on the price?

This is pretty much how I feel about wine. I've drank enough expensive wine to realize the difference doesn't matter to me. Now liquor OTOH, I love a high end Vodka, Bourbon, or Tequila

If a (properly installed) plug were to fail, it would be a slow leak, not a blowout. I never slowed my pace on a plugged tire. But, riding is all about confidence. If it would always be in the back of your mind and limit your ride, then swap the tire.

A properly installed plug will last the life of the tire. Edit: I've plugged a handful of M/C tires without any loss of pressure over the remaining life of the tire. I already check pressure before almost every ride, so I am used to watching it closely. I ran over 4k on a plugged PR2 without any problem. When I swapped tires I checked the plug on the inside and it was still securely in place. A plug will work if the hole is directly in the center, but I would change the tire sooner than usual because there is less material to hold the plug in place. My $.02
