  1. This was just a warning. Maybe you shouldn't ride this season. (Just yankin' your chain).
  2. You fucked up your karma when you tried to crash the guy that was tailgaiting you for camping out in the passing lane.
  3. Welcome (back) to the site. Hope to see you on your new bike this summer.
  4. The only time I was ever with a hooker was when I was 14 & as for the blow, I just can't take it anymore being elderly & all. Let's go round & round.
  5. Welcome to the site. Hope to see you on one of the group rides this season.
  6. It's news to me. I'll watch. Thanks.
  7. Here goes, Likes: Power, Torque, Handling, 38 mpg on the average, Looks, Altered perspective on what one considers normal riding on the street. Completely disharmonious with societys expectations (especially the do-gooders). Dislikes, Not so good in the gravel. Not so good on 1000 mile days. 3500 mile tire life. License points.
  8. I'm glad I didn't ride to work today. I'd probably be in the hospital if I did. On the way home, while stopped at a stoplight in my car, I got rear-ended by a drunk blond woman on oh her cell phone. A cop was right there. He whipped his car in front of mine just in time to block my view of the fleeing drunk blond woman's license plate as she took off. By the time I explained what happend to the leo she was long gone. You can almost but not quite make out the letters of her license plate in my bumper. Oh well.
  9. I'll take you up on the garage. That's definitely the way to go.
  10. Mid Ohio June 6th & 7th sounds good to me. Let's go.
  11. So, the votes so far are 24 to 12 for Mid Ohio over Putnam. Is it still true that we could get a discount at Mid Ohio if over 20 sign up? Lets go. I'm in. Lets set a date.
  12. They say the slade has a built in CE2 back protector. Thanks. See you at the track.
  13. I ordered my Held Slade suit from SBTG today. They gave me a decent price & had it in stock.
  14. The cold doesn't bother me if I want to go for a putt. The cold does bother my tires if I want to go for a ride though. They never come up to temp. Salt really sucks though so my bike won't be out for a while. I do still watch accuweather everyday.
  15. I've been to (2) track days so far so let me tell about my experience for the folks that haven't been but might be considering. I've only been to Mid Ohio so I don't know about other tracks. I rode down to Mid Ohio from North Ridgeville on both Monday & Tuesday morning. After the riders meeting the first day, when we broke off into the Novice group they asked who had never been on a track before. Those that raised their hands were told to go into group 1 of 5 in the Novice group. When we had all broken into groups they said that there were too many in group 1 so I volunteered to go into group 2. I was glad that I did this because group 1 rode at a very conservative road pace for the rest of the day. Group 2 was better for me as we were probably hitting 120/130 in the straights & learning the lines through the curves. On Tuesday I elected to join group 4 of Novice. This was a lot of fun as we were doing 155/160 in the straights & quite a bit faster than the 1st day in the curves. I got my knee down once but while deliberatly thinking about dragging a knee the rest of the group was getting away from me so I caught up & didn't think about the knee the rest of the day. Both days the coaching was great. They do have a set routine in the novice group. First you follow coach, later you start leapfrogging, taking turns at the lead with the coach directly behind you to critique. When I got home on Tuesday I had to call all my friends & tell them what a life altering experience I just had. If you're thinking about it, my advice is to sign up & don't worry too much. I'm in the process of getting my own track suit & I'll be doing more than (2) days this year for sure. (There's no gravel, Amish buggys, or dogs, etc, etc, etc on the track).
  16. What's the best way to post a photo. I tried to post up a photo of my dogs yesterday & apparently it didn't work. I can see them on the post but others can't. I uploaded them into an "album" & supposedly transferred them to the post. If you would be so kind to the ignorant please advise. Thanks.
  17. Just to keep them from getting on someone's dinner menu.
  18. Congrats. Have fun. I did on my first track days last year (after many years of riding). 206 k/ 400 k miles, I'm in cheapskate awe. How did you do that? What kind of oil? What kind of riding/ driving? I'm just curious.

  20. Welcome to the site. Sorry about your experience with the thieves. I attest that no one on this site will report you if your ensemble doesn't match.
  21. Impact energy is proportional to the weight of the projectile & the square of the velocity. That means that an 800 Lb Harley with an 180 Lb rider smashing into something at 100 mph does the same damage (to whatever is run into) as a 410 Lb proper bike with an 180 Lb rider smashing into something going 140 mph. If the guy on the proper bike happens to be going say 180 mph the impact energy is 65% greater. Don't try this at home.
