New Concord is my preference.  I can gas up & get my morning coffee there.  Are you still riding tomorrow Jamie?

I just went from maybe to most likely status on this ride.  I'll probably bail mid afternoon, Woodsfield or so, but I think we can get some good riding in.

You gentlemen are making assumptions about the OP that may or may not be true. So, OP, what are your motivations?  More drive off the corners?  Ability to not shift gears & have the same drive off corners?  Dank Whoolies & having a higher probability of ditching the cops?  Let us know.

Wasting your breath here man, they won't get that. Not many of them have done 5K in 10 days 2 up.

Maybe when I retire, but that would be 1 up because my wife don't ride bitch & If she does 5,000 miles it's on an airplane. I have done 2,400 miles of twisties in 4 days on a sporting bike but that attraction to slabbing eludes me.  If ya like it , more power to ya man.  I heard that you meet the nicest people on a Guzzi.

Yes, you do need to trade in your Harley.

Welcome to the OR community! I am from the Medina area.  Soughern Ohio is where it's at if you like longer rides, try rolling down 83 to 78, great roads and scenery.

Just a start there.  Also, 377, 676, 26,260,536,556, 800, Dalzell Rd.,  etc, etc, etc. Welcome. Usually a 400 to 500 mile day is on the agenda when I get to ride.

Oops, Safety 1st.

Bad date for me.  I'll be RWVAR for 3 days around then.  Have fun. Safety 3rd.

Welcome to the forum. Old age & treachery. More into riding than motorcycles here, but welcome.

That's obscene.  We almost go faster than that on the street.

Concentrate more about what you are doing & less about what other people are doing would be my advice. 

I've been using K&N for years without problems. Just lucky I guess.  Just ordered up some WIX after reading this & doing a little googling.  Glad the failure today didn't cause anybody eat the assfault. Hope you didn't sustain any engine damage Derek.

The information is available. Never had a nanny & don't need one now.

You really don't need a fancy setup like that if you are just changing your own tires.  It takes me about 25 minutes to dismount old tire, remount & balance new tire, using tools that cost me less than $40.  I've done this for the last 200,000 miles or so.  Hiro- PM me if you want the details.

I haven't abandoned logic. The country has.

Wtf. You don't even ride man.  First thing to get cold is the hands. Get a f'n bike & ride chump.

How much lower can unemployment go?  No doubt in my mind, the bubble will burst. Planning accordingly.

Hang tough Jerry. We'll ride again.

I don't know too much about the KTM 690 Enduro, but I want to find out.   YouTube reviews say that it could handle 80mph all day.  If I get one of those I would definitely hang on to my street bike for the faster paced street rides though.

KTM 690 R  Enduro.  70 HP single cylinder, 308 LB (dry) weight. I'm all over the map on next bike selection right now but this one interests me.

I wave to trikes. Have fun.

Exactly. And the potential shit show Saturday could have become if I had stayed home and not pulled 5 people out of the main group. But if peeps don't get it, I am cool with that. I tried to help, that is all I can do.

If you wouldn't have shown up it would have been a catastrophe I know.  Those folks that were with you are definitely troublemakers that would have fucked up the ride.  Thanks for taking one on the chin for the common good & all.

In the future, If there's a huge group & you see us heading out early & you are a decent rider, feel free to tag along.  We could have been better communicators on this ride about such things.

When I started as an engineer we all put our sportcoats on hangers at the office in the morning & wore dress pants, white shirts, neckties (great around rotating machinery) & wingtips.  Now It's more casual.  After they started "casual Fridays" in the 90s I have worn blue jeans every Friday unless I have to meet with VIPs.  Other days it's just LLBean or Lands End clothes with comfortable shoes.

Link is NFG Tonik. Please read "Good without God" by Greg Epstein if you want a proper explanation of athieism. What part of infinity don't you understand anyhow.

Good luck on your ride Kent. Can't go due to work.
