Thank you to those that have done it. Rest of, you need to take 1 minute and click on the link and send an email. I have been told repeatedly that they pay attention to these messages, especially when it is a current bill. They don't know if it has voter support or if it is just a stupid idea from a fellow representative.

That's because we ride our shit more than you and the Harley peeps do.

Fixed, thank you sir.

Ok gang, time to make a phone call and/or send an email. We need to get to the House floor for a vote. One person is in charge of that. House Speaker Larry Householder. Time to light up his inbox and phone and respectfully ask him to bring us to the floor for a vote. Here is a link to his contact info. http://www.ohiohouse.gov/house/larry-householder Here is the email I sent, I plan on calling next week if I don't hear/see something positive by then. Speaker Householder I am writing to urge you to bring HB 129 to the floor for a vote. HB 129 is a simple bill that the House has passed in the previous General Assembly, with 100 percent yes votes. Unfortunately we got to the Senate too late to finish the job. This bill allows motorcyclists to wear hearing protection, which is currently prohibited. Studies have shown that at highway speeds with a full face helmet on riders are experiencing sound levels in excess of 100 DB. OSHA requires hearing protection in the workplace when levels reach 85 DB. We have no problem hearing horns, sirens and the traffic around us while wearing ear plugs. There is simply no valid reason for this prohibition and all but 3 or 4 states in the US allow hearing protection. Thank you in advance for getting us our vote, riding season is upon us and the time to get this done is now. Jim Kennedy

Well, did you?

If you want one sooner lmk, you can take her for a spin on the back. She will insist you get one.

I was intentionally leaning in the pics for grins. No doubt that is what is going on...learning to lean. But I have no intention of leaning on a regular basis, or for real.

Yea, I am having a hell of a time with my feet. Working on it.

Rick, aka @Skinny guy He is cool, our kinda people.

No I have not, but would really like to check one out.

When you get back on your feet (pun intended) we can get together and you can take it for a spin. But don't ride it unless you are prepared to buy one.

Home, great run and very glad I did it. Love the Wing even more than before. Flawless in the rain, I did not slip once. Not once. Fast as hell in the twisties and effortless to pilot. When I didn't have the fuel range challenged with me I was pulling 160 miles easily before I felt like stopping.

Exactly.

Very good point. You also got his weight to a normal amount and his suspension is pretty well sorted.

Lunch at Coal House BBQ. Then the fun part of 119, then 421, 80 and 550. Hammer down on 550 I see a deer running up the hillside....so I shut it down hard figuring there are more....and signal everyone behind me. Crest the hill and there is a doe and her few days old fawn in the middle of the road. Full on ABS...the fawn freezes so I dove right. That moved the fawn left where it froze again and found itself staring at the front tire of an MT10 that stopped 2 feet short of it. That fawn should now understand the value of ABS. I know Jamie and I do. So we start to accelerate and are still going slow and around the corner comes a cop. So we saved that fawns life, and it for sure saved us tickets. Win win.

Devil's Triangle 116 is epic, great pavement except for a few patches. Sign says closed, it isn't. What a morning, damn.

So you were holding up Roamr and a grom. Glad we were able to clear that up.
