I'm officially in. As Pokey has already said I've led a few rides before as well as ran sweep. He and I ride at pretty much the same pace and I have the route/track already loaded so if Gunner wants to move to another group from the start... I've never ridden an OR ride before so I didn't want to volunteer and violate the first timer rule. I tend to ride at a "5 to 10 MPH over" pace and that lets me ride at a more relaxed rhythm while piloting around my SuperTanker.

There's a Marathon 1 block off the route in Malta: 1250 Front St. NW Malta, Oh 43758 740-962-3725 It looks to be a very easy reroute with no backtracking. There also looks to be a BP (also in Malta) about 2 blocks south of where the route turns north from 7th St to 669 / Main St. 531 Main St, Malta, OH (740) 962-4431. It looks like it's either going to be Glouster or Malta since Burr Oak appears to be the halfway point. At least from my vantage point... But since I'm carrying more fuel than Pokey it's not really an issue for me either.

That's okay, not everyone is cut out to do it. That's nothing to be ashamed of and you can rest assured that even though you appear to be ungrateful the people who can do that job will still come and help you when you need it. We (emergency services) don't care if you're black, white, male, female or "educated". Have a nice rest of the evening.

Nope' date=' just pointing out the obvious. It's just been my experience that people who spout this drivel have never had to do that kind of job. They just sit back and bitch basking in the fact that their decisions don't carry any real consequences. That would mean you've had 100 encounters and only 1 went the way you wanted? What the hell are you doing that gets you that kind of attention? My experience has been the exact opposite, maybe you need to work on your interpersonal skills?

Let's see here... Police officers doing their job by enforcing laws they didn't write then acknowledge they got played by being good sports about it and you call them dicks. Tell us, Sherlock, what would you have done different? Would you ignore it so Fuelit could whine about wasted tax dollars or would get all bad ass and take him in? I just love the psychic abilities of some of you arm chairs cops. Anybody can make that call AFTER the incident but have you got the stones to go solo BEFORE you know the situation? My guess is no. Walk a mile... Not to mention they probably have regs dictating how this should be handled. Have good day. One last thing why don't you guys let us know where you work and maybe we can get some kid with nothing better to do to follow you around with a camera while fucking with you. Then we'll take a minute or two out of it, post it up and then all of us can critique you. Sounds like fun!

I had (have) a 103. It's a modular so it will be heavier and noisier but the convenience of the flip up is nice. What I found out was that Nolan tends to run more round than oval and it would cause a pressure point above my forehead. It wasn't too bad on shorter rides but after a few hours it would tend to become a distraction. I've since moved to a Qwest and like it much better. I have my Sena SMH-10 installed on it (as I also did on the Nolan) and like that combination.

At one point during the call to '000' his response to how it started: He was behind me, I put on my brakes and he had to lock up. Did this guy overreact? Definitely! But what did Mr Victim do that prompted any kind of reaction? My guess is he will never say...

I learned that back when I was road racing my BWM 2002 in SCCA. Hard to believe but just a little shift could make the thing a dream or nightmare to tow.

A couple of other questions: - Do you have an idea on total weight when it's loaded with both bikes? - Where did you source the hitch for your car (factory, aftermarket, home built)? - You mentioned the fenders, what would you have done differently? - And lastly, did you (or is it planned) to treat the underside of the plywood deck as well?

Looks good Ryan! And I wouldn't worry about the tires...the original Mini's ran with 10" tires! Didn't seem to be an issue for them

Dream Theater's Train of Thought... All of it!

+1!!

I was first on the side of the rampaging trucker vs innocent biker theory but its not looking like that's the case now. How long after steroid use can you claim 'roid rage...? The truck driver checked himself out of the hospital last night. http://m.nbc4i.com/wcmh/db_16304/contentdetail.htm?contentguid=IcYZJjQ1
