Brandon, you're on a fucking roll today man.

Where is the ZX636?????

Right up by Polaris man, if you wanna go ride today let me know! My number was posted in the first post of this thread, if I don't pick up it's because I'm riding. I'll return any calls though.

Haha yeah good to know I'm not the only one. And definitely take your time with the ankle, mine is still a little sore at times from when I laid my bike down a few months ago, but at least your fall wasn't any worse! I do know what you mean about being antsy though, and on that note I'm heading to the Pony to buy some gloves and a bandana for my face...I didn't realize it got so cold at night haha.

Completed it two weekends ago it was awesome. I can't wait to take the second one and then eventually the ERC.

Lol ok I've got to give it up for that, that was pretty sweet.

That's unfortunately true. Hopefully the measures that are being planned will help eliminate this. I'm not going to say anything more now, because it seems every time I say something it falls through or doesn't go as planned hahaha...

Well the guy at the dealer (The Cycle Co.) said 25%, the banker said they prefer half, but will take 25%.

Almost bought a GSXR 600 this week. They said my credit was great...but I didn't have enough for a down payment ...then the dealer sold the bike that day before the bank had even gotten back to them. They said that most of the time they want about HALF for the down payment, but will take 25% under certain circumstances (I'm assuming good credit?). So with a credit union could you do this without the large down payment?

Ok well...this just turned into a giant cluster...well you know. Apparently one of the guys that helped organize it got word that the owners didn't want us there. Some people went over anyway to see what the deal was, see if they could talk to any security, police that might be there. Well everyone they talked to said it was fine. So idk what happened lol, I feel like I should probably just stop posting in the meets section. Anyway I got over there a little later, ended up being a couple dozen or so cars, and at the very end a few bikes. Most everyone behaved themselves, save for a few idiots that felt the need to squeel their tires as they were leaving/in the parking lot on the way out. I think we'll be back over again tomorrow night. If anyone wants to meet up and ride over, or just go for a ride tomorrow, let me know. I need to work on the basics some more (only stalled once today! YESSSS). And on my random cruise on the way home I had my first real taste of what everyones talking about when they say cages just don't see bikers. It probably doesn't help that I was riding past 1am so the people were probably drunk. But luckily I was looking ahead and saw them before they started to pull out in front of me. They stopped before they pulled all the way out, and I just threw my arm up in a "what the hell were you thinking" kind of way. Resisted the urge to flip them off haha. But cruising around randomly on roads I know is slowly building my confidence. I'm starting to not brake so early...I've been been stopping ridiculously early, and then finding myself needing to speed up again to get to the redlight haha... So yeah, sorry for the confusion! We're trying to get a meeting spot that is more organized set up. We're also trying to implement a way to filter out the jackasses so that they can't even come into the lot.

THE MEET IS OFF!!! Apparently there was a miscommunication and the lot was just paved so we are not allowed to be on it. Idk if this is just tonight, or tomorrow as well. I'll post when I know more...awesome...lol.

Doc on the Duc!!!

We uhh...we...don't condone illegal racing of any kind...all that we ask is that you don't race on or on the streets around the Iron Pony property..... .... .... Yeah...I think that's what I'm supposed to say hahahahaha

Haha no worries man! I'm not new to forums, and CR makes you have pretty tough skin for internet flaming. I don't follow the whole internet is serious business way of thinking, I'm too laid back for all that. Just figured I would throw it out there for anyone from here that wants to come out!

Well we figured since it is Iron Pony we might as well try and get some bikes out lol.

Lol don't be hatin!!! I really don't feel like drinking and have nothing more constructive to do with my Friday night...so I figure why the hell not?

Posted this up on Ohio Riders for you Rhett.

Hey everyone. A lot of us over on CR like to meet up on weekend nights. Pretty much we stand around in parking lots and BS all night, although ricers usually ruin our fun and get everyone kicked out of what ever lot we're in. Well one of my buddies on CR got in contact with the owners of Iron Pony in an attempt to find somewhere we can go and hang out without getting kicked out for trouble we aren't starting. There are some rules though... No Burnouts No Drag Racing NO Roll racing either No Fighting No Trash (there will be trash bags through out the lot) No Pissing in the lot/on building behind bushes... there are porta-jons behind it No Racing down surrounding streets, if there is, Police will close it Pretty straight forward. Just use common sense and don't be a douche canoe, oh and no revving... There will be a few of us walking around the lot to make sure people stay in line, and if you aren't you will be asked to leave. Remember we have permission from Iron Pony to be here, so we want to make a good impression...this is only a trial as of now. My buddy on CR wanted me to post this up here cause well...Iron Pony isn't for cars haha, so we would really like to see some bikes out. I'll be out on a neon green/yellow R6 with a streetfighter headlight (my buddies), won't be easy to miss. I look forward to seeing some of you guys out there, hopefully I'll be able to put some names to faces. If anyone has any questions feel free to call me, my number is 614-314-7310, my name is Ryan. If I can't answer your questions I'll do my best to get back to you as soon as I can... ...Oh yeah, and this is obviously free! If you wanna bring any food just remember not to leave it laying around please! See you guys out there!!

Hop*...dammit I had a Paul moment since I was talking about him.

I'm riding out. Paul hope on your bike and come dammit.

As a new rider I can proudly say I haven't been a part of any squidish behavior. I try to gear up the best I can, helmet, jacket (its actually my buddies), and riding shoes. I have a pair of gloves, but the palms are padded and I really don't like the way it feels on the handlebars, I need to pick up a different pair soon. I'm still trying to adjust to my buddies bike I've been riding around on. I can't say I haven't wanted to go fast, but more so on turns. I've resisted the urge so far tho haha.

Lawl <3 Rob. I was going to say I stopped reading the article when I read "University of Michigan", and that had he not gone there he could in fact rewrite the laws of physics...well I guess I did just say it anyway. Hahaha I have to take any chance to hate on Michigan that I can. And Rob wins this thread...not C6 Rob.

The F in FWD doesn't stand for fun you know lol just fucking with you man.

This hit the nail on the head for me. When I went down within seconds of being on a puplic road for the first time, I was more pissed at myself than anything. I knew exactly what I did wrong and couldn't wait to get back on and have another go. Its good to hear the fall wasn't too bad!

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE JUST DONE YOU ASSHOLE!?!? Omg...this thread has Gundams and /b/ references...wtf get me out of here. PS: DeathScythe FTMFW!!!
