  1. And now I am downloading a 16 GB software update.
  2. The dash is cool as hell.
  3. In. Hope it is nice enough that I can bring the new Wing that I didn't buy there and make John feel uneasy in front of his friend.

    Why in the hell would I apologize for @Casper breaking shit? Take it up with him.
  5. Damn it, I ordered the wrong highway pegs. Grip puppies are on and the heated gear wiring is done. Phone mount, cup holder and the correct highway pegs will be here in a few days. Guess I will have to rough it until then.
  6. And Tony is right, this might be a forever bike.
  7. Thanks everyone, except Sam. Fuck Sam. It is an amazing machine, smooth on any road surface and corners like a dream. It really holds the road when leaned over. It is fast as hell with a huge usable rpm range. I have not used sport mode yet. Going to wait a few hundred miles for that and actually break it in correctly. Little windy on the lower legs but that may be a good thing when it isn't 40 degrees out. The tech is amazing, big screen in the dash for navigation and all that. 4 engine modes, 4 suspension setups. Heated seat and grips. It's got reverse! I got the shift your own model. The DCT looks nice but when pushing it on the twisties you would have to go into manual paddle mode anyway, or anytime you want to run the rpms high and then roll off....it would upshift in that situation.

    I could fix it for you but I won't. Give @Casper 10 bucks to be a supporting member you cheap bastard.
  9. And please recontact them and get the bill number.
  10. You talked to the AMA guy didn't you. He told me that too when I first contacted them to help us. If that is who you chatted with, they should know as you said, but they are mistaken. The current law has the exceptions you mention, it does not include us. Here it is, and you can search away for any mention of ear plugs or hearing or motorcycle you want to. http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/4511.84
  11. Since I pick up my new bike in the morning I will suspend my non-posting cuz I don't have a bike for this one post because you guys are killing me with the misinformation. There is no new law, there have been no changes and wearing hearing protection on a motorcycle while in Ohio is still illegal. OSHA regulations do not apply unless you are riding your motorcycle for work and I do not know how that would go in court. Anyone that told Andy otherwise is mistaken. They must have saw our effort and thought we made it through, we did not. And we were left out of the transportation bill that was just passed. We now have HB 129 that is in the House Transportation Committee, it has had it's first hearing. I am sure it will sail through since our Rep that has been helping us is the Vice Chairman on that committee. Once that is done I will have all of you contact the hell out of our House Reps to get yes votes on the floor. House won't be a problem we passed last time with 100 percent yes votes in the House. We will need to work VERY hard on the Senate when we get there, there is a reason they dropped us from the Transportation bill. Someone with power in the Senate must be against us.

    I no longer own a bike. I refuse to be 'that guy' that hangs out on a message board about motorcycles without owning one. It's like trying to hang with the cool kids when you simply are not one of them. So I am signing off. And Fuck @Casper
  14. As of last night we are dead. I would bet because some asshat added in music. Motorcycle hearing protection provisions. The House wanted to clarify in state law that bikers can wear earphones or earplugs for hearing protection, as well as listening to music. The Senate nixed those provisions and prevailed.
  15. Looking like the Senate, the House and the Governor are in a pissing contest. We may get lost in the piss.
  16. Cross your fingers, today is the day for reconciliation. And....boom...my Senator is on that reconciliation committee. I called earlier in the week and he was on the Senate committee I spoke at last year. Chatted with him then.
  17. Oh hell, our hero is Vice Chair of that committee.
  18. Our hero's second attempt HB 129 has already had it's first hearing. http://www.ohiohouse.gov/committee/transportation-and-public-safety
  19. Good job. McClaine is our guy during all of this. We will get it done with him if this effort fails.
  20. Not me, but mostly it is in my head. One beer makes me nervous as fuck on a bike. As you said, different for everyone.
  21. You know you are going to sell this before the season is over right?
  22. My wing will have heated seats for your slender Asian ass. You should consider that.
