I may be interested in the spool stand. Any pics or a link?

Multiple rides. I plan to head to twisty awsomeness.

You guys just keep that rolling road block out of our way. Fom Bolivar, we can pick up 83 at the intersection 83/93. We can meet in New Concord 83/22 (I believe there is a Circle K on 22) at 10:30.

CORE rides ususally begin in Bolivar on 212. We can have another meeting spot on 83 for those that don't want to head to Bolivar.

No route fianlized yet but for the ride south... How about 83>78>377>550 (yes going right by 555, but not riding it because it kinda sucks compared to other roads in that area)>into Marietta. For the ride home out of Marietta are some of the best roads in OH (26, 255, 260, 556, etc) which ones we ride depends on how many miles you want to log that day. Going back home you can split off on 250>83 north.

We could connect further south on 83...

There may be a CORE ride on 6/5. 1000ccs and 17" wheels welcome.

If you think 556 is rough, then you'll want to avoid 536 this season. Lots of sections of tar that cover the entire lane. Many in blind corners that you can't see until your about to slide.

Someday, I want to get a Harley and trailer it to and from bike night. Ideally, I'll never try to start it or even put gas in it. Time to take it up a notch. I'll show those posers how to pose.

I love fucking strippers!! > I fucking love strippers!!

The NCAA is ghey. The people who make money, don't want anyone else to make money. I'll start giving a damn about college football when they get a playoff system.

Where did your buddy get the ticket?

Without reading through pages of posts...this is why I CCW when I ride. There are lots of dumbfucks out there. Some of them seem to have issues with sportbikes or being passed. I've had this exact situation happen 3 or 4 times in SE OH & WV. Once by a group of HDs, once by a truck full of hilbillies w/hunting gear (deep in WV). I've managed to extract myself from those situations without a major incident occuring, but you never know...

Over a lot of miles, I doubt any money saved would be significant. On a motorcycle you'd save money on gas, but more maintenance is required, tires don't last as long, etc. It would also depend on the car & bike. Ford F150 vs a Ninja 250 - there is a pretty big gap. Honda Civic vs CBR1000RR - I'll bet the cost per mile is pretty close, probably a bit cheaper on the car.

The 1190RS is a limited run of 100 bikes. You can't pay a staff off of the sales and support of 100 bikes. There are other, more reasonably priced models in the works. I suspect some details will be available soon.

The Homologation rules really aren't that strict: --The motorcycle must meet all D.O.T., E.P.A., and other U.S. Federal requirements for street usage. --The manufacturer must have produced a quantity of at least 18 units before applying for homologation. --Motorcycles submitted for American SuperBike homologation approval may not exceed a retail price of $40,000 U.S. I've heard talk that at $40k they will actually be selling the 1190RS at a loss. If that's true, I guess this is the reason. I suspect more than 18 have already been produced.

This. Hopefully it will get approved in time for a few AMA Superbike races this year.

I like the SV1K more than I thought I would. The suspension is pretty good for twisties once you get it dialed in. Not full sportbike stiff, but good enough for spirited cornering. The motor is is strong across the whole rev range.

I can't take a dog, but I can take your computer...

How can you crash when it's parked at bike night ?

Is there just 1 place to adjust on the VFR? If so, I like that setup also.

zing!
