You might be crazy.

Muddy Waters, Sun Rah, Frank Zappa, & John Coltrane. Music from the dead. Oh yea, The Gratefu Dead.

Thanks. Hope everyone has a good one. The kitchen beckons (actually it's my wife).

Some days the gods just have it in for you. Luckily for you they were just teasing. (Could be a lot worse but still sucks.) Better luck in the future.

The more people I hear about the more I like my dogs. It's probably not like the owner of the dog that got run down opened the door & said have fun on the streets boy. I hope that whoever did this gets what they deserve in the future. Thanks for stopping to see what you could do.

I won't be there since I live in Cleveland. Sounds like a good idea though. We don't do that up north because I guess there's too many icebergs. Oh well.

Congrats!!! When are you going to buy her her first motorcycle?

You gotta be tough son. (Just wait till you get out in the real world)

Please see Bike Magazine, January 2010. 109.7 RWHP @9600 RPM, 68.7 LB FT @ 7,400 RPM. That's unless they made big changes to the bike they're bringing to the US. I think that what they're bring US is pretty much what they've been selling in Europe & the UK for the last couple of years. Honda obviously think that naked riders are more docile than the full on sportbike crowd.

Ah Haaaa! I know their market. Indian motorcycle cops.

Northeastern? I find my results odd because I've spent my whole life in Ohio except for a couple years in Colorado & one year in England.

Good luck. About 30 years ago I had a couple of friends who happened to be brothers embark on such an adventure. They both died one Sunday morning due to an engine problem & trees. Maybe you should reconsider & take up something safer like base jumping or cave diving.

Will 115 lb riders want 700 lb hogs?

Check my avatar. I took the shot when I was in India on business last year. This seems to be the sort of bike of choice for the Indian rider. Probably because the average worker makes the equivalent of $1000 per year. The traffic situation there doesn't bode well for Hardleys there either. Traffic in India is a real trip.

Careful with the cold tires & dew boys & girls. The only reason I haven't been riding lately is that I crashed out in the gravel pit (SR 536) about a month ago & have been working on replacing the broken plastic & regrowing some rib bones. (My wife's not letting me on her Ducati yet either.)

The ribs are feeling quite a bit better after the first week. I broke 2 on the side & 1 in the front. Glad I didn't hit anything solid besides the road though.

Hey Uncle Punk

Hope to see you in the spring. Best regards.

16x2. The only fun I've ever had commuting is when I was seriously breaking the law so why bother.

Get yourself a thighmaster. I think they're only $19.95 or so.

Southeast ohio is a fookin' gravel pit (esp 536). Even when there has been no rain to wash out the gravel there has to be some asshole that spins out going up a gravel road to completely cover the road with gravel just around a blind left hander. I should be more careful, right. Busted ribs still hurt.

He forgot to mention the weight requirement 260#+.

Shitty ride today. Crashed by gravel on 536 northbound & had to ride home w/ broken ribs. Inya: Hope your ride was a lot better than ours.

If anybody wants to meet for a ride Sunday morning I'll be at the McDonald's just east of the I-77, Route 18 interchange at 7:45/ 8:00. I plan on droning on I-77 until Caldwell or Marietta depending on when it warms up, hitting up 26, 536, 255 & 260 before heading back. I'm trying to be home by 5 PM.

My ride has got to be Sunday as I had plans I didn't know about (If you're married you understand) on Saturday afternoon. I will be leaving North Ridgeville at 7:30 AM & droning south on I-77 to get the boring part out of the way while it's cold. I will exit I-77 at either Caldwell or Marietta. I plan on hitting 26, 536, 255, & 260 before heading back. Anybody that wants to meet up with me anywhere along the way let me know & pm me your cell#.

We need a deer whisperer to train these deer how to cross roads properly.

Are you volunteering?

I'm not too worried about the cagers hearing me coming because I stay out of their way & leave myself an out, should they do something stupid. I do know that since I installed my full system Yosh exhaust that every deer I've seen has been running away. This definitely wasn't the case with the stock system.
