    9/18 Ride to SEO

    When we turn on 78W, you could peel off on 800N. That stretch of 800 is pretty fun.

    Is that why you're making room in the garage?

    9/18 Ride to SEO

    I'll be passing through Lodi about 8:10-8:15, but we are meeting further South on 83 in Millersburg. Anything north of M'burg is mostly a straight boring parade ride anyway

    9/18 Ride to SEO

    Ahhh...I don't think that's the section we'll be riding. We'll be on 550 from 377 to Marietta.

    9/18 Ride to SEO

    Your pace can be mild to wild as long as it's within your limits. I tend to carry a nice sporting pace through the corners, but rarely get above 75-80 on the straights. So, if the group gets spread out it's pretty easy to catch up on the straights. Also, we'll stop at intersections to count bikes.

    9/18 Ride to SEO

    This is the same route we did a few weeks back, minus the 148 detour.
  7. I would be into this if I didn't already have 2 in the garage. Bump.

    9/18 Ride to SEO

    I did this route solo a few weeks ago and was home by 4. On solo rides I tend to only stop when the fuel light comes on, and then just long enough to fuel up. With a group we should be back to NEO 5:30ish. IMO, that's just about perfect.

    9/18 Ride to SEO

    This is a make up of a 9/11 CORE ride that was called due to crappy weather. I thought I would post here also. So far there are 3 or 4 attending. For a south route 83>78>377>550>Marrietta. North Marietta>26>260>7>800>78>556>145>800. This is a fun twisty route, and the roads are all in pretty good shape. For the Cleveland area people, this is 450ish miles. Less if you're further south. Meeting spot: Millersburg Speedway on 83 @ 9, wheels rolling by 9:15. The first gas stop will be in McConnelsville 10:30-10:45ish if you want to meet further south. Disclaimer: Wear gear, ride within your limits, no one left behind, be on time, etc, etc. No planned meals = snacks at gas stops. ***Edit: more disclaimers Passing each other: Only to adjust the riding order and not in corners. Passing cars: If the rider in front of you makes a pass, that doesn't mean that you need to stay right behind him. Pass when YOU have an opening. General dumbfuckery: keep it to a minimum.
  10. I would NOT buy 3d now. There isn't much media available. Plus, the 3d TVs that will come out in the next year or 2 will me much better and cheaper.

    Sweet Deal!

    "I sleazy put motor trands." That is very important when you're looking at a pile of truck parts. Lot's of people overlook these important details. His mastery of the written word seems to suggest that his skills as a mechanic are also top notch.

    http://cleveland.craigslist.org/mcy/2586862989.html I have a 97excab three door 4x4 truck needs put together... I sleazy put motor trands. Ear end front all in new lines for gas and brakes new gas tank pump filter new brakes rotors. Trade for bike don't want truck to sit around untold I'm able to finish I had survey and I can finish it up if I could I keep it..call 4406451550 I may have to give him a call so he can finish massacring the English language.
  15. There is just something funny about Eslick pushing Herrin off his line. I didn't see any of that at NJ, but over the last couple years it's happened quite a few times, usually on the last lap or 2. Eslick is like a bulldozer and Herrin can't do a thing about it
  16. Glad you like the FN. I actually would have taken a Sigma mag or 2 as a partial trade
  17. I'll be the lone dissenter... Track days are definitely an option. But there's no super secret riding techniques that can ONLY be unlocked by getting on a track. Everything you need to know is right here: http://www.sportrider.com/motorcycle_riding/techniques/index.html When I started riding with the fast groups on the street, I was suprised at how smoothly and quickly some people could ride. So, I would pick the really 'fast guys' to ride with so I could bend there ear about technique at gas stops, and watch their lines (for as long as I could until they gapped me). I leanred a ton about riding and also where the really good roads are Track days provide a environment to learn, free of cars, etc. But it not the only way to learn.

    You should sell the LCP and buy my FN. It's a great shooter.
