That's what I said as well. He's not very mechanically inclined. He told me yesterday, he's a painter for a reason

It's making a knocking noise. Seems to run fine aside from that. He's not inclined enough to tear into it, and I don't have time.

Not real close to Columbus , but it's 7000 acres and 100+ mile of trail

Very cool bike. People really under estamate little motorcycles. My 250 is far more fun than any liter bike I've ridden

I've become pretty partial to off-road in recent months and was wondering if anyone else here did any dual sporting? Would someone be interested in leading a dual sport ride? Being in dayton, there doesn't seem to be much going locally.

Threw some 18/21s on the wrx with some dunlop at81s.... I have no idea what I was doing But it went better than expected.

I'm out for this weekend, but we should go for a ride sometime

My point is that if I can move the water to the street where it will enter the storm drain system I will feel better about my property staying dryer.[/quote

Is there a storm sewer near by? Most municipalities don't like people to dump water directly onto the road. Causes asphalt Rot over time and in the winter can cause freezing issues in the street. If it goes straight to a storm sewer there's less issue there.

^ this. I have serious respect for peple like that. Those are people who want to ride, not doing it because "it's cool"

^^ I'm with this guy. Throttle therapy is required. Ask me how I know. 

Lines are sloppy, it was cold, but man it sure felt good to get out and ride! 

So I live just north of Dayton and I am trying to find some good roads or twisties to practice on. Do any of you know of some good routes to take around here that I can play on? I don't mind traveling a bit to get to them.

Thanks,

JB

I'm north of dayton as well. There are a few OK roads, but there's 10-15 miles between the next road. Nothing consistent and nothing great by any means. I have a 100 mile loop I do on occasion and if you took the connector roads out, you might have 10 miles of road.

The race team is still being funded. Hero cough cough.

There is much more going on here. Most likely a hostile business move by hero to score ebr for pennies. Getting their foot in the US in grand fashion.

I hadn't even thought of this. Id be willing to bet your correct.

glad your getting it back! I'm glad I have a good set of ear plugs! Looks good ! 

They don't call it the "hundred dollar " store for nothin!

Thank you !

Anyone in the dayton-Troy- piqua area here, do concrete work?

Good work as always. 

I forgot about the Exup- those are prone to sticking and not working properly. The heat cycles cook the oem grease. The best thing Id found to work , was good ol anti seize on the bushings. Another thing to look at is your ducting going to the air box. The fz1s ducting pulls from under the seat and I recall a fellow sucking his owners manual into it.

I can't say, I have noticed a difference in cagers, but I have noticed that many more women are riding. Even saw two ladies, two up on a harley last fall. 

Edit- post deleted. Reading comprehension fail on my part.

Problem with that is it's overpriced. Dr350s can be had closer to 1000-1200. Already have lights and 6sp tranny ftw.

 I agree, I wasn't implying it was a good deal, and that he should by that exact bike. I guess I should have stated that. I was just using it as an example.

There's a huge difference between a TTR250 and a yz250f. I would look for a trail based 250, not an MX based 250.  Something like this, ( I know its not a 250) Would be a great starter trail bike.

We better ban wind noise , since it's the real culprit here...
