I'm guessing the blinker relay is set up for a different load and is heating up a little?

Most defiantly. Time to setup a relay system.

Hello all,

.apparently I must have missed the next turn and continued for about 30 miles down 68 (not sure the route).

Did you see a bunch of REALLY big horse farms? If so that was 68. I love going down that section for the huge horse farms, it is the route we take from Cleveland when we go to the Dragon. Get on 62 near Columbus...it turns into 68. About 45 minutes longer overall but getting off the freeway for awhile is well worth it.

I will be on it Friday, I am heading down for a few quick Dragon runs.

Don't put all the confidence in a color awareness thing. It's best to make yourself the primary awareness. Just don't let it happen.

Absolutely. The color awareness thing is just added insurance, it does not replace proper defensive riding.

I was looking at those. Man I'd feel goofier than hell wearing that thing, but I bet I wouldn't get hit.

You shouldn't feel goofy. Have confidence in your manhood!! No other bikers give me crap about it. They know I am right, and so do I.

hate to say it but Ive been run off the road twice and have seriously been thinking about that bright a** green gear like the road crews wear

I wear one of the bright day glo green/yellow ones from FirstGear. It is mesh with a nice removable liner. There is no doubt it helps, I jump out blocks away. I have had many cagers mention it to me.

she let me off with a warning since she didn't have me on Radar

Written warning? I would file a complaint with the police department if she wrote it.

LEO says put the knife down you put the knife down. The LEO showed restraint and some bravery and professionalism by going hand to hand rather than tasing the lady or shooting her.

Old lady or not, you don't wave a knife around a cop.

I have not gotten one but I have it from a VERY reliable source that the LEO's are cracking down in several area's around Ohio. Cleveland/NE Ohio is one of the prime target area's.

Expect DUI checkpoints near bike nights. My source will probably be there running it.

Couple of choices here.

Turn your current risers around. Sounds crazy, looks goofy as heck but it works on that bike.

Scootworks has some, and in black if you want it that way:

These people make an extension that sits on your current risers, but might not be what you want, they will raise it but also move it back towards you more. It is a cheaper way to go.

Another option is to drill out your bushings to 1/2 inch and get some cheap used harley risers.

I'm going to be camping in the general area at that time. I think on those dates I'm staying near Tellico Plains area, but I don't think it's very far from Deal's Gap (40 min?)

It's a little further than you think, I think. Probably about 90 minutes and you are better off going up 68 to 411 and back in on the TN side. Across the skyway is probably 2 hours.

on the other, I'm not sure I'm crazy about advertising people's bikes for them for free...

What you say is true, but on the other hand you are also posting information that might help someone here...a long time regular....find a deal on his next dream bike.

Toss a wind breaker on underneath it. Cheap good fix. Not giving you a hard time but it is an easy fix. Roll it up and put some Velcro ties around it and bungee it somewhere on your bike.

Where do you sport bike guys put your shit on your bikes anyway? I got two saddle bags of crap I think I can't get along without.....

FWIW since I am a noob with just a few posts...Cleveland Photographic Society is legit. I used to be a member for several years. They are one of the countries longest running photo clubs, since the late 1800's.

Good people, an older crowd but some VERY talented photographers.

Sodomy is a crime

but back OnT, I didn't see anything in the ORC about allowing local administrations to override the law, if you get a ticket (and it likely is 50$ or some crap so noone will fight it) you'd have to take it past the local court, then it would get overridden.

Sodomy as a crime got repealed in Ohio in the 70's.

Very good point on the ORC thing, I think you are very right. I have passed the info on to the guy that got nailed for it.

If your plate is vertical... you're ghey. Have a nice day.

I completely agree. But ghey should not be a crime.

It appears Rocky River passed a local ordinance against vertical license plates and is enforcing it. I am pretty sure vertical is ok under Ohio law. Weird that they would bother with something like that at the city level. Also weird that they actually can pass a law like that. Seems like a state license plate display issue is a state issue.

But I am not a lawyer, I only play one on a message board.

Spoke rim. 19 inch. I will be up by 8 am, not that you have to get up that early.

Good luck getting a PM reply.... 720 minutes later from the new guy. I hope you PM'd him your cell, Jeff.

We are good, he has my cell and will call me when he is ready for me. And again I really appreciate the help on this from all of you. I waited way too long to replace this tire.

:DYou guys are real funny.

pm sent

Got it, but I am a noob so I can't reply for another 720 minutes.

It is a front. You sound busy so I will take it off the bike tonight and toss it all in the back of my SUV so when you call I can head on over. I am also off all day Friday but would like to get it done and back on the bike by 5 pm or so Friday. Got a ride scheduled for tomorrow night. If tomorrow does not work out for you it is no big deal to toss it back on for the ride.

I can also cancel the ride to meet your schedule, I am as flexible as they come.

Thanks to both of you, that was fast. Good news is my stuff is already clean. I PM'd him.

Anyone got the name of an independent shop that can install a tire and tube I have? Dealer is booked forever and I need to get this done. I would prefer 77/480 area but I am flexible.

For all of you IT guys, where and how long did it take for you to get your certification. I need to go back to school, and IT is definitely a field I am interested in, and pretty good at. Thanks again

I got my cert's in 99 in 6 months going to a school similar to New Horizons. But I had some experience and my timing was perfect.....all the Y2K concerns and the IT industry was booming. So with just my certs I landed my first real IT job right away. Things have changed a bit, the certs are harder to get and no experience will be a problem in this job market because there is a number of people looking that do have the experience. But still if you can swing it I would do at least a 2 year degree in IT at a local community college to make up for that.

AS 400 is a whole another world. A few quick tutorials won't get you there. Heck to run that system you need to also be able to program Cobol a little bit.
