I am riding there 5/29 on a CBR. Our route there is about 600 miles. I'll let you know how it goes.

The BMW is a cool bike and fast, too. But it isn't for sure a better bike than your Z. Tough one.

It got totaled by insurance because of a dent/scratch on the frame, right? You could take it to a shop to get the frame inspected, or better yet have the seller do it. Either way you could get a receipt that says frame inspection 'Pass.' That would help get it plated. If the frame has any serious structural damage, you probably don't want it anyway.

It depends on the inspector you get. Some will pass anything with two wheels and a motor. Others will want to go over every little thing. I think you'd be able to get it plated, but I would plan on some red tape.

When police say safety then mean revenue. Specifically, they mean revenue to keep paying police officers. This is a conflict of interest. Revenue increases are supposed to be approved by voters. If voters don't approve and there isn't enough $$ to pay all the police, then fire some. If a community becomes under served maybe the voters will approve the next one. http://www.cleveland.com/tipoff/index.ssf/2013/08/linndale_the_tiny_village_know.html "Still, the ticket money is the village's single biggest source of revenue."

Intrastate can be a crap shoot. I sold a bike that was rebuilt salvage (it was an insurance recovery not even wrecked) that was already inspected by OSHP, registered, and plated in Ohio. The guy that bought it lived in Maine. Maine treated it like a salvage and wouldn't issue plates. He had to jump though all kinds of hoops. He had to get paperwork sent from OSHP and get it reinspected in Maine. It took him like 3 months to get plates

The way I read this is someone used fear to get you to basically give up on rights we are entitled. I am afraid I can't support that.

If you know it's 10lbs off can't you still use it?

Make it an overnight and stay here (hocking): http://www.getaway-cabins.com/special_occasions.htm That would break the ride time in half over 2 days, which might be good unless she is OK with a lot of hours on the bike.

What the cop is doing might not be illegal, and even if it was he's unlikely to get in any trouble. ...but it's a huge violation of one of the main concepts behind the bill of rights and to a lesser extent the constitution. Those who created those principles were trying very hard to prevent the gov't and police from poking their nose into your business unless they had a damn good reason that they could prove in court. By your logic, why not eliminate the 4th Amendment entirely? If they could search and seize at will, they could probably find a reason to arrest someone, right? So why not?.. because those that were willing to fight for freedom found it intolerable.

^^ EXO 400 and EXO 500 fit very differently. I have both. I ordered the 500 without trying it on. Initially I hated the fit, but it broke in to be just about right..

Couldn't agree more.

Sounds fair. I think I'll give it a try.

I can lead, or sweep, or whatever...prefer fast.

I always liked the look of these. The spikes don't really go with the Moto GP scheme, but they are easily removable.

Leave them in the closet if you want it to stay clean. I kinda like when gear looks like it's been well used.

...so now you believe in God?

I didn't know platic dip is easily removed. If thats the case you'll probably sell it quicker if it looks stock...IMO

What does a rental cost?

With my always changing responsibilities I went from....completely impossible to get away...to I think I can make it...to not gonna happen. We'll see how it looks next week.

NIce bike. I have a 2010 in the same colors.

Do all girls from California know about Italian sportbikes? If so I may need to move there.

^^ Not sure. It says on the HB site. I would use the measurements in the Helibar instructions, because they probably only clear the fairing by a couple mm and will still use the stock cables and lines. Woodcraft might require new lines or cables.
