Wow - nice route John. This looks like a great ride. I like the idea of eating afterwards and keeping the riding pace going from start to finish. Gas full at start, gas up again in McConnelsville at 104 miles, then ride to the finish at Nutcrackers which is 115 miles later. You're a genius.

I'm out on this one guys......enjoy the ride. See ya in September or at the Indy GP if anyone's going next weekend.

Later.......

I have a set of Pilot Road 2's with that line. I called Michelin tech support and asked that same question. It is a carbon-fiber ribbon inset installed to dissipate static. When the Bridgestone reps were out last year for breakfast, they verified that "line" was the anti-static carbon inset as well.

So, there ya go.

Sweet front turn signals. Where did they come from? I've also looked around for mirror mounted signals but have had no luck. Also, how do you like your Sargent seat? If I can't get mine sold I may have to break down and get myself one of those...

The best mod I could have ever done to that bike was replacing the crap stock seat and buying a Sargent seat - it is extremely well made and their customer service is outstanding.

The flush LEDS up front are Protons from Highttechspeed.com. They also function as running lights. I converted the standard running lights in the headlight assy to turn signals. It's a very cool set up.

Thanks for the comments.

Only there for all day Sunday from open to close. Sitting in turn 1 E Stand - Great view of all the crashes!

Just updating the mileage.

I love that 750 fork/brake conversion. Bike looks really nice......leave the price alone - with those mods and miles it's worth it.

My band played tonight from 5 to 7 - it was 95 and 100% humidity......but, it was a good time.

+100000000000000

I think he was cleaning it as we road home on the last csba ride.... :-)

Glws....looking forward to hearing the duc shoot out of corners....that is if I can keep up wit u.....

My Bandit is faster than this Duc.........so it aint the bike holding back.......it's me. I just want one - thats all. I'll still be behind you.

Ballersauce.

Ditto..........I only wished I could afford both bikes. Heck, I can't afford either!!!!

60's and 70's rock. We usually play 1 or 2 times a year - mostly charity events. We all played near full time back 20 years ago, but now just do it for fun.

WAY TOO MUCH WORK for the little cash you make...........like $0 on this one. But it's a fun time. It's kinda.........musical therapy.

5500 firm!? Damn... I have $5400 burning a hole!

I'll cut ya the $100 off deal.

So much for firm..........

My band, The Staplers, will be playing this Festival Friday night 5 to 6:30. I've not been to this event before - I hear it's kinda big.

What you replacing with, you must have a bike. How else will we get the epic adventures of "where's Ben and phil"

We could do the following for gas and food.....

At 90 Miles - McConnellsville at 60 & 78 for Gas

At 190 Miles - Woodsfield at 78 & 800 for Gas and Quick food at a Subway or McD's. It will be about 12:30PM if we leave at 9AM and no one crashes.

At 285 Miles - Frazeysburg at 60 & 16 for Gas and goodbyes.

Ride ends back near Columbus where we all split up at about 330 miles.

See y'all on the 20th.

Lunch, indeed, was good............

FYI - Toro Loco (a really good Mexican place) is located about 5 blocks south on 93 in Ironton right on our route.

They take cash (no Pesos ironically), Visa, MC, and Discover - no AMEX. I am calling when we launch from Columbus to give them a headcount so we can get in and out relatively quick.

See ya next Saturday.

I'm in.

Wife and I are heading over on Sunday only (sucks, but I guess doable). We are sitting at turn 1 with a great view of 2, 3, and 4!!

I really hope 2010 has a race at Indy as Austin is a "fir piece" from Columbus!!

Yes.....just a shameless BUMP (actually a BUJT - Bring Up John's Thread) to keep this in everyone's mind.

But, I met the guys teaching this course over the weekend at a rally in West Virginia. This is going to be an outstanding "ALL DAY" event. You will learn more about your good and bad riding habits and address your fears if you are willing to risk and learn. These guys are talented hi-end racers and teachers and really "get it". Best of all, they are great communicators and want to see you succeed and become the rider you need to be. And, you're doing this on their bike with no risk of damaging your own bike - gotta love that!!!

This is going to be a great weekend.

See you there.

Phil

Great ride today. Good to see Brian again and his bike looks freakin' awesome!!!

We rode about 90 miles or so out to London, down to Circleville, then back.

Good to see everyone. Christy and Lisa were there too, but were on the "taking the photo" side.....

Who was the guy on the scooter? He should make it to our scooterific river ride. I love the T-Max and there will be one on the ride for sure possibly two, maybe three if he joins us. I have scooter envy now; my 250 scooter has good brakes but not the power of the big 500.

I "believe" his name is Stewart. He sat next to us at lunch. He rode the crap out of that bike. So, between Stewart on the scooter, and Kent & JPorter on the old Honda 500's, I may just blow up the Bandit and buy a Harley!!!! Nice riding guys!!

This will be cool. It'll be tight on time, but if I can make it for the 1PM launch at Kroger West Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide, then I'm in!

In the 60's and 70's from 9 to 4PM and lots of sun in central Ohio. This will be nice.

No One is allowed to crash this time!!!!!!
