Get a book of names, when he is settled down, ie not in lets go for a walk mode. Start reading some name out of the book. When he looks interested, thats his name!
Get a giant rawhide chew toy for him, if this breed chews, let him get it out of the way on something that is ok to chew up.
Take him to the park a lot! He looks like he enjoys running and chasing ducks/geese.
Get a frisbee!

A PSA with some bite to it!

I'm back in school too. I have 1/2 and 1/2 on line and in class thing.
Helps to have somebody to ask questions if you get stuck on something.
Yes it's IT, going to pick off a MCSA cert and if I have the time a CCNA.
Did both in the real world just can't prove it to anybody. So off to school.
Certs are only good till the next version of Windows server comes out.
And Bill Gates sure does need the money!
So that would be every 5 years or so it's back to school because your un-employable, again.
Should have been a plumber...

Brakes rubbing due to small amounts of rust caused by high humidity.
It would go away after a little while of riding.
Or is this all the time at slow speeds?
Something stuck in the brakes?
Chain? Bearings?
IDK, hard to say.

Yeah I got one myself. Add my wife follow me one day and she said it makes a big difference. As for the headlight modulators, I'm not so sure they work the way they should. I've talked to people who say when they see them, they are so fixated on the flashing light, that they tend to move toward it. I too have done it. I would like to see a study done on them someday, or if there has been one done, does anyone have a link to it?
Originally it was called the "Q-Beam" back in the 80's. First one out there that I know of.

A quote:
Headlight Modulator Regulations: Here are the U.S. regulations for headlight modulators (they are legal in all 50 states); this is Official U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Governing Motorcycle Headlight Modulators - FMVSS 108 (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) (49 CFR Part 571.108 S7.9.4) allows motorcycle headlight modulations systems all 50 states provided they comply with the standards set forth in this section. Title 49 USC 30103(b1) (US Codes) prohibits any state from forbidding a system that conforms to FMVSS 108 | Here's a handy small one-page version to keep on your bike in case you get stopped by the Police | "Motorcyclists who are conspicuous are under-represented in crashes"; read more from NHTSA

I added one of those brake light flashers to my bike.
It does seem to make a difference.
Real simple hook up, just three wires.

I have a tattoo on my penis, dead serious, pics?
Let me just guess, it says:

It sounds like a whole angry community of Africanized killer bees trying to escape out the exhaust. You can feel vibrations through the handlebars and footpegs. Runs like a scalded dog!

Awesome!
Seem like to much motor though.

On a more serious side:
Can Yamaha bring back the two stroke motorcycle? The new “sportbike” is supposed to be fairly light weight (around 320 lbs) and produce about 75 horsepower to the back wheel. Power to weight ratio will make this bike run with the 600 series sportbikes.
Yamaha RD350 Sportbike
Drool! lets see, punched 1 over, flycut pistons, two stroke power band a couple of not needed parts removed, say 90HP at 300 lbs.
Yep, it would run with the 600's until the twisties, then it would run in front of them, then it would run away from them. Two stokes are awesome, just not importable, sigh...

hookers and blow, 10k will buy you 1,000 fat chicks, or 1 really hot one.:lol:

I joined here in may 08, and there in august 08...
I found this board first, thought it was "the" ohio motorcycle forum. My dad's childhood friend was talking about an ohio motorcycle forum, and I didn't find him on here, so I did some searching and found that one.
lots of cool people on both boards. This one tends to be more sport bike oriented, as well as a bit more "liberal"
The other is more wingers and harleys, and they tend to me a bit more "conservative"...I'm sure there will be more cross-board memberships, lots of cool people all around.
I did notice more Harleys and Wings there, more cruisers in general at RideOhio. Didn't notice the political leanings of the group. Too busy trying to remember names and faces.
Also noticed that the RO guys seem to mostly be from the northern smaller towns. OR guys seem to be from the cities. Perhaps that would explain the Cruiser vs Sport bike ratios. Just a thought.

Sara,
It will make your life easier if you get an html editor program. There is a learning curve but well worth it if you have to do a lot of it for your class.
Here is a good one for free, thats what makes it good, free!

It was a blast shooting the breeze with you, the g/f said thanks for making her feel welcome.
(only the 1st pic works for me)
The pics should be fixed now.
Good talking to you and Jess. She seems like a trooper, riding an hour and a half just to go for a ride.
I got about 400 miles in this weekend, a sore butt, Heat exhaustion, grasshoppers big a cows bouncing off me, a bee in my helmet at the dam, the real serious smell of cows (wow!!)
and even some practice riding on gravel roads. (they suck)It was a good weekend!

It was a good day and a good ride. Sorry I didn't introduce myself but I was there and had a good time along with you. Wish I would have stayed to camp. Next year things might be different.
Nice pics and write up.
Surprised me that there were people from both boards at the event. Not sure why this surprised me, guess I figured everybody would be doing the cochocton ride.
I didn't know who you were till you were gone. magley64 said you were the guy that just left!
Next time!

Pics show for me, hmmm, I'll move them to a different site and see how that works.
Gimme a sec...

Weekend ride and camp.
Hooked up with some people from RideOhio.org for a weekend of camping and riding.
Here is a pic of the KZ loaded and ready to go.
Rode from C-bus with a girl from RideOhio to Utica where we meet her parents who rode with us the rest of the way.
Here is the bikes in Utica gearing up to hit the campsite.
After a couple of wrong turns and an extra 60 miles or so we made it to the camp ground.
The ride up, aside from getting lost, was uneventful.
As I'm sure you have noticed from the pics the 1972 CB 350 which I have to admit surprised me by keeping up to the speed limit at the least and even going a bit faster a time or two.
There were a couple of unexpected road hazards... Ahem, gives new meaning to the term "Depth Charges"
Saturday we went for a 150 mile ride through the area. Most of the time we were within 10-20 miles of Cochocton. It is possible that we saw some of the OR guys doing their Beginners Saturday ride along the way.
Hard to tell as there were bikes everywhere!
About 40 bikes went on the ride Saturday. We were strung out for a mile or two down the highway.
Sadly camera batteries didn't last as long as the ride.

Heat exhaustion seemed to play a part in the afternoon, it was real hot out there. Every stop I was drinking large amounts of water but even so I stopped sweating at one point and knew I needed a lot more water soon.
We stopped for ice cream where I inhaled a quart of water and a yummy Vanilla shake and then headed back to camp.
Along the way a small town had its stop light synced so we got split up into little groups of 6 to 10 bikes. So we straggled back in little groups.
That night someone brought some of the worst Tequila in the known universe to camp. We feared it would cause damage to the planet and decided to drink it to save the world. The worm was going to conquer the planet! +1 for a green attitude and saving the planet!
Here is a group pic of their crew at the site.
I rode back to C-bus with the girl on the CB 350. Made good time even though we stopped for lunch it as a nice little cruise. Until the bee flew up her sleeve and stung her. Talk about wild hand signals! Even the cars behind us slowed down! A quick stop with the first aid kit and we were on our way again.
Got home, drank several gallons of water and crashed for the night. The Sun sure does wear you out.
