The oh shit, 6'4" guy is bitching me out, says' she got the point.

No spokes, it's a mag off the front of the V-strom. About $200 to refurb and $400 for a new one.

So today I'm heading home from Germantown across 725 when this lady in a Lexus with the cell phone in the ear starts gliding left right on top of me! I moved left and rapidly decellerated till she cleared me. I caught her at the next light, cell phone still implanted in her ear, I honked at her and signalled to roll down her window. She rolls down the window and I let her have it! In short I said, "You know you almost ran me over when you changed lanes back there?" Her, " Oh, I didn't even see you":wtf: Just the responce I was waiting for! "That's because you had the squack box in your ear and you're NOT SMART ENOUGH TO DO THAT AND DRIVE!":devil: She was speachless but managed to put the phone on the passenger seat and close it as the light turned green. Dayton area drivers really suck! That was the second person I went off on, the first got away with me turning around on the bike at 65mph and providing nonverbal input. Okay, Rant /OFF

23,000 Miles of rough back roads and off road riding has taken it's toll on my front rim. Anyone ever had their rim repaired? I'm debating the price diffrence between a new rim and having it refurbished at half the price. Anyone have some experience with this?

You ever think about how many people wearing HD t-shirts have never riden a motorcycle let alone owned a Harley? It's probably as many as women with FOX stickers on their cars who've never riden a motorcycle except on the back seat.

+1 Harley propaganda machine fueled by bull shit and gremlin bells.

I always tell people if you wanna get better at riding on the street learn to ride on the dirt. Riding a bike through the woods teaches you to look ahead, pick a line, use peripherial vision, get off the seat, clutch control, throttle control, leaning, breaking in adverse conditions and how to fall down.

Be carfull at Perry if your not experienced. Aside from having some very demanding terrain there are some real asshats on quads who'll run you right off a trail. Have fun but be carefull.

I'm sorry but when I see the 70+ crowd wobling down the street on their scooter to the grocery store the last thing I wanna do is distract them from what they're doing. Hate to think I caused a wreck by waving at them!

If you have a motorcycle ride away and choose the time and place to engage the enemy. I'd choose an SKS personally, easy to repair, clean and fairly accurate. Plus ammo for them is abundant.

Do environmental engineers count? Seems we're always cleaning up other peoples shit! Socially awkward, no but I've created some awkward moments.

Yeah, it's hard to get a Honda painted right these days, but hey! What about that bear sign.

I was going to comment on the sign being from British Columbia and the poster from Cincinnati. Then I shit bells and pepper spray.

For the posser HD rider who doesn't want his buddies to know he trailered his bike to Sturgis. A cable to attach to your trailer so your bike will show the miles you hauled it. I always wished I could win one of those HD motorcycles in a contest because I know I could trade it in on a good bike and have cash left over for riding gear and gas!

You can get DOT approval for a tin foil hat. Those beannies are made for states that require helmets and people with male pattern baldness. If it isn't protecting your whole head and face it isn't worth wearing.

Most of the guys runnin this are AA riders and yes their good. Better than me by far.

Sunday was the Bootleg Dual Sport ride presented by the Zanesville Trail Riders. The Cavemen offered a special challenge section. Were putting up photos from it now and will soon get videos up. Here's a link to the site. http://www.cavemanriders.com/forum/index.php?topic=184.msg1443#new Most my stuff is video but here are a few shots from the last section. Exit from the special.

We all learn at our own pace, some just take longer than others. Might wanna inform your buddy that the danger isn't from the pipe but from outside infection on a burn like that. Maybe you should talk him into a trike so he doesn't fall over again?

I lucked out on neighbors, two out of three are awsome. They cook me dinners and never complain about the bikes or guns at all. The one who isn't awsome is usually too drunk to come outside and see what all the noise is about.

Tell the old guy to calm down or you'll invite your Harley Buddies over to do some engine work and retune their pipes.

I can think of two people I know who have simply reapplied for there temps for years instead of taking the MSF class or the license test. They ride daily and break every rule.

First ever spider with AIDS.

ZTR is having a ride Sunday in Zanesville. I'll be filming at the Caveman section.

I'd do it but I'd need more than $50 to pay for the puffer to firm up my acting skillz!

It's easy to go faster on the downhills, just not so easy to stop on that slick mud. Not to mention I had no rear break for the last half of that ride. This kind of broke.
