Last I knew, Columbus Col-weld did good work still. When I was in manufacturing, we had them do some splatter welding (I think that's what it's called) and they did a good job, but the process wasn't what would hold up in under the conditions we needed.

Holt cow! I just went up to the OP. Reg STARTS at 10:30! I'll prolly be at the moose koc(k) around 9 still, I figure we'll likely want to get to rooster's a little early anyway, that parking lot gets REALLY full!

The Rosso's are no longer a full half of the group then! Moose, what time you planning on rolling out to Rooster's? I'm probably gonna be getting there around 8:30 or 9:00-ish

Wow, that's tiny!

Ok, ok... I'll cut you a little slack... This time. And he's being nice!

Excuse to ride Hocking though, as a change of pace. I keep forgetting that you're all the way out there past BFE.

There's already an Ihop in Lancaster. I didn't know about one coming to Picktown.

The 08-up 250's seem to demand a lot more than the 07-down. Most of the changes were strictly cosmetic, and EPA related from what I've read.

Nah, I could just wear depends if that was the case. I only ride on the street, and the 90-ish MPH top speed is well about the posted speed limit here in Ohio. If I had started on anything much bigger, and faster, you probably would have read about me wrapping it around a tree or something. Or maybe trying to split a deer in half?

Ihop. That would close the deal.

That you did, and you still got beat down. Poor MidgetTodd...

Wow! Just WOW!

He even took care of that certain "exam" that Sam likes.

When I hit "home" it takes me to the FaceBook bridge page. It also did the same thing when clicking on the new logo. I like the new logo, BTW... I think it needs cleaned up a bit, but I like the idea of it!

You work too much.

I'm not tired of my Ninja 250 yet. You can ask around a bit, a few people have seen that I don't go easy on it either. Would I like to have a 600 supersport, of a VFR? Yes. Can I ride with groups of supersports on the 250 (without getting left behind)? Yes, as long as they're not trying to do triple digits all the way. For spirited group rides, I will probably continue to ride the 250, since the suspension is much better on it than my VF500. I guess I just don't feel the NEED for a penis extension (aka... big bike.)

Cool! The more sportbikes, the better!

Looks like they've fixed it now.

Make sure it's not the newer stuff that's "embittered" so that animals won't drink it. I think it was cruel to ruin something that they love so much. (I do not condone such behavior, I like cats, but not as much as RFM does.)

More like the .1%'ers! Don't forget the point in front! Did you ever take any math classes in school? I'm gonna guess that a few more will show, as usual. If not, we'll have fun anyway! Which bike you bringing out Moose?

I'd love to, but never got around to buying tix when we would have the $$$.

I believe his middle name is TROUBLE, so that makes sense.

For the money, you can't beat the 07 and older 250's, for a small, cheap sportbike. If you look around for a couple weeks, you'll see one for really good deal, the miles will be low, and it will likely be ready to ride. Also, the 50-70 MPG is hard to pass up. For reference, I get around 50-55 MPG, because I ride the shit out of it. Last year, I was getting better mileage, but I wasn't using as much of the bike. The little bike also handes very well. On most group rides I'm able to stay up toward the front, unless they get going over 75-80 between turns (not that anybody here would break the speed limit ). I know other people say get a 500, 650, etc... other bike, but the performance vs. price isn't that much, from what I've seen. One big thing to consider is rider size. The bike's borderline too small for me, and I'm just under 6 ft. and weigh around 180. Much taller and it will probably get pretty cramped. That is where the bigger bikes, such as the EX500, EX650, SV650, etc. would probably be better.

Look at the roads, and you'll have you answer to why.
