  1. i will pass

    If NEO'ers want to hit the really good stuff in SE OH, it's a long day but well worth it. We do it 10-12 times a year. Typically, I am on the road before 8a, home before 5p. We keep the pace brisk & the stops short. Depending on the route it's usually around a 450 mile day.

    I may do a SE OH loop this Friday and for sure on Sunday.

  2. 536 is definitely a fun ride & one of the most technical roads in or near OH. There are a couple turns that have claimed more than a few bikes. I suggest taking it easy the first time you ride it...you'll see why.

  3. 26 looks like a heck of a road as well. How is that one, anyone know?

    When the pavement is in decent shape 26 out of Marietta is very good, unfortunately it hasn't been is good shape in years (haven't ridden it yet this year). The part north of Woodsfield is always awful.

  4. There are a few decreasing radius turns on 536 that are notorious for eating bikes. I've seen several bikes down and some unintentional off-roading. It's a fun route, but better to take it EASY the first few times you ride it.

    I'll be heading that way on Saturday.

  5. steels corners road. 929, xb9r and r6. guess which bike ran out of steam going up the road from akron penninsula rd. I'll give you one guess. I always liked the Buells until I saw that.

    A Buell with a Jardine pipe & and an ECM that isn't mapped for it. Not suprising.

    An SV is not as fast as an XB9 or XB12. Even so, straight line speed isn't the XB's strength. If your buddy can't corner an XB, that says more about him than the bike.

  6. KBB says you can Shut your mouth dude.

    I dont know you....but you are a dick talking shit in someones for sale thread.

    Especially one where the bike is priced under its value.

    I dont personally care what you know about the Triumphs.....Doesn't give you the right to try to shit on his thread.

    You can now open mouth....insert foot.

    I would have to agree. If you're not interested in buying...stfu. It's not any of your business what someone is trying to get for their bike.

  7. Wow! 1 comment about getting off the keyboard and actually riding and the peanut gallery is silent. Too easy.

    In all seriousness. If you're into carving corners and hyper legal speeds, XBs are very hard to beat. It won't have the top end of your 675, but it has a big fat torque curve that puts lots of useable power to the pavement. Other things like the lash free driveline and ZTL have advantages that you have to be in the saddle to appreciate.

  8. It's hard to ride a spec sheet.

    Lets hit the twisties...when you catch up (I'll be the guy with his helmet off who is checking his watch wondering where you are) you can tell me how inferior my Buell is and talk samck about the rubber band drive.
