  1. +1 on the gear' date=' especially the helmet! I sometimes forego the jacket and gloves if I'm just running up the street but never, ever, ride without the noggin protected![/quote']

    I've only ridden without a jacket twice. It just didn't seem right.

  2. I don't say anything, but I always feel better when people show up for a ride with gear like when I led you and your friend around.

    Speaking of which, new tire goes on the bike soon. Wanna do that whole Sunday ride someday? We'll have to start early in the afternoon or weekend, its just over 2 hours long.

    id be down. It will have to wait until i get back from vacation though. I leave friday.

  3. Try and get ANY job (let alone a job with a Fortune 500) that pays a respectable annual salary without a college degree.

    Damn near impossible these days....

    i beg to differ on this statement. Maybe in the office world, but some of us weren't meant to sit behind a desk. I prefer working outside. Theres a ton of money to be made, but you have to go get it, its not going to come to you, and yes it is hard work, but I love it.

  4. Buddy of mine and his girlfriend and I rode to dinner tonight. We went to jimmy johns on the ud campus, if you are firmiler with Dayton. Anyways. This guy kept staring at us. I came in in leather and had my helmet in my hand. Chris and his girlfriend had helmets in hand. Finely the guy said something to us. caught me way off guard. Thanked us for wearing gear. He said he had lost his brother 4 weeks earlier. He swerved to avoid hitting an animal, went in the ditch and hit a culvert. The only injury he sustained was a head injury. He wasn't wearing a helmet. The guy told us we made his day,and he paused and said hell we made his week. and thanked us again. this was a very sobering moment as to why i always ride with my gear, no matter what. If I am just going across town or across the state, or united states.

  5. Ewww! Why'd you ride all main roads? Those are booooring.:confused:

    There's some awesome back roads between Xenia and Springfield.

    hell yes there is! Although between yellow springs and Xenia one day I found a road that led to a bridge that said 3 ton. I thought "hmm thats a pretty low max weight" until i saw the bridge. It was nothing more than a few 2x4s side by side and gravel on each side...?

  6. I was wondering if there is any sort of hack or addon for the tom tom 125 that would allow a voltage to display on the screen showing how many volts are running to the gps unit. I run a volt meter on my bike, and if I could get this to work through the tom tom, it would sure clear up alot of clutter in my gauge area.
