Glad your wife & kid are ok. Glad she didn't maim any motorcyclists. Hope she's done with this. I commute by motorcycle So I'll keep my eye on the mirror & be ready to tuck between the cars in front of me if need be.

I'd ride down with you today but my shifting ankle still needs another week or 2 before any long rides.

Repeat this ride in a few weeks & I'll be in. Still recovering from a sprained ankle & replacing bike parts from my latest. day at mid-oh.

I am glad that our OR advisors could get you pointed in the right direction. It's been entertaining.

Good to hear this. I just ordered an RS1 in Hi-Vis yellow after retiring my Arai at the track the other day. Getting it from Nathan at Riders Discount for a good price. I've always ridden with Arai's in the past but really don't like spending the $$$, probably for their high level sponsorship programs.

1973 Yamaha 360 enduro 2 cycle single cyl.

I hope you got my PM from yesterday evening & found your way to garage 18 today.

Sorry I missed you earlier. I opted to put some Q3s on the bike. I haven't gone out yet but probably will at 1:00.

I'm in garage 18. (Where I will remain until the track dries as I'm running slicks).

OK

536 & 255 used to be goat trails before they were paved. Well suited for sumo riding. If you like goat trails try Dalzell road off of 821. Ride safe, have fun.

PM sent

Still only me in the garage.

Anybody from here going 7/1, 7/2?

My baby cbr does the trick for me. I regularly embarrass Harley guys commuting through rush hour traffic on I480 & I71 by just maintaining the momentum. I don't know about "wheelieing around" although it's 23 HP powerhouse engine will loft the front wheel skyward if I brutalize it. Overtaking in the twisties on it is not for the faint of heart. I just use it for local transport mostly.

26 K on the stock 530 DID chain on the 1000rr & it wasn't past time to change it. Replaced it with a 525 EKK ZZZ this spring. I think lubrication & proper tensioning is the key to long chain life. Cleaning with a brush & chemicals is over rated.

When I brought home my first sportbike, upon initial inspection by my wife, she says; "The passenger is supposed to sit up there? &I put their feet up there? I don't think so." She got her own bike then. I have taken a passenger on my 1000 & it sucked. Front wheel kept lifting & scaring the shit out of her. The weight distribution is just wrong. Sorry I don't have any positive advice for you on this.

I recommend the 2008+ cbr1000rr of course. You'll probably like the drive out of corners compared to the vfr. Also, the light weight and mass centralization.

Welcome to the forum. Have you ever had to say "the Diavel made me do it"?

If getting to good roads faster is what you want head down the 83 to the Coshocton area. 83 gets interesting just south of Wooster (if you keep the speed up a bit). Once in the Coshocton area hit up 541, 79, 206, 520, 715 to name a few.

I am afraid of limited access highways. Afraid of the drones.

I have a garage rented for 7/1 & 7/2 with only my bike in it. If anyone wants in on it We could fit a couple more. PM me if interested.

Welcome. How are you getting to 26/ 800. Being a west sider I recommend 83 to 78 east to 260 south. Have fun & ride safe. Lots of no cellular service areas down there.

Sorry, Repost.
