Got any pics of the boots Matt? If they fit I'll take em cant go wrong at that price.

i'd like to know what your will put down.

mine did 41.3

I dont really want to for the HP numbers, I'm more curious to make sure my A/F is right. I'm fairly certain it is because it runs awsome but wanted to make sure.

And I guess Brian and I are supposed to head over to Cheeseburger in Paradise too

Pics got posted and no edrama fights insued, my baiting skillz are nowhere near those of BlackTod's. I fail

My sumo wants to come see you Brian. Just not sure when.

pretty good analysis except i was on the fzr (dunlops) and im sure you will be delighted to know i went down .....in any case, it wasnt the tires, it was piss-poor judgement

Actually no I dont wish it on anyone. You'll learn I'm sarcastic, witty and spitefull but not hatefull. Just felt this thread was usuless and uninformative thus far so figured the Shinko debate could possibly make it somewhat interesting.

But it didnt.

You are well on your way to replacing Justin's place in my heart.

Thank you Pauly, that means alot to me.

no not true you only assume you know were it is. you can remember were you thought it was but you don't know if a car has gone through it and kicked it all over the place. you have then a false since of security my friend...

Yea you're probably right must just be coincidence that in all the years out here the gravel is ALWAYS in the same spot in the same corners. And must have just got lucky on the rides I've led out here when I told people what corners to watch for because there will be gravel in them and what part of the lane it will be in BEFORE the ride started. Just lucky guesses I suppose, and on 715 yes the gravel is always in the same spots. Try and speak on things you know.

This thread does not deliver, why bother even starting a thread of this nature when you've got nothing?? Seems like somthing Sarah would do.

Since there is no info and I dont care to check back as I"ve totally lost interest after 44 posts of nothing I'll tell the story as I see it. A few newbs and two wannabe curve carvers join up for a ride to boost thier ego. Curby comes along to attemp to keep them inline. Speedytriple comes to show them how its done. Holly shows for a little eye candy. Anyway long story short Speedy bails early so Tim takes the lead. Well knee draggin Timmy's Shinko's "that he's so proud of" finally give up the ghost and took him out along with two others. End of story nothing more to see here carry on.

Jbot let the other puppy go or I'll quit sending you all the stray cats for those asian meals you like so much.

Still got several days to buy or borrow one.

Possible, very possible.

Why thank you! Are you headed to the Putnam event?

I guess I assume someone won't over ride their abilities on a road they've never been on. I think 79/541 are very mild compared to 536, 555, etc...which are full of blind and strange camber turns. Visibility is good on 79, and there's only one decreasing radius (and it's barely decreasing). 541 only has 2 blind ones, but they're sweepers. 80% of both of those roads are straight with long lines of visibility...and the pavement is almost always free of shit and debris.

I learned to ride twisties on both of those roads, and never came even remotely close to losing my shit...but I rode cautiously with smarts until I was ready to hurl it into the turns, a skill I tested on a track day and not Coshocton County. I think that's a foreign concept for too many people, sadly.

I guess we have different POV's. I know of several blind curves on both of those rt's 79 does have a few and 541 has more than 2 not counting the ones that turn on the down side of a rise that you cant see till you crest?? Do you get out here much? And never assume someone wont ride over thier ability, because everyone does at some point and some more than others. I along with a few others personally saw him pushing the edges of his ability on our last ride.

They are both new riders, one never in twisties the other only a time or two with a leader and both just out of thier MSF course. This is why I tried to caution them.

But hey gotta learn somehow and it worked out ok so, live and learn I guess.

If I was going you'd have a spot on mine for sure.

ps it doesn't mater if you know the roads or not if you hit gravel your going to hit blacktop

Not true on either statement.

Those of us that ride out here all the time do know where the gravel is because it always there so we already know what line to take because we know where the gravel is at before we even get there.

And no, just because you hit gravel does not mean you will hit blacktop. Thats when experience and rider ability comes in. Inexperienced rider will panic and chop the throttle, grab brakes, jerk the bike then yes you will go down. Experienced rider wont do those things and will usuall go right thru.

No you didnt

That sounds like one of the bait comments BlackTod would leave there Tpoppa

I forwarded the PM you sent me to him.

oopps got your Pm when I was on my phone and ment to reply when I got back on the computer and forgot. I'm good found what I was looking for but UnclePunk might be interested in this.

Theres gravel in most all the turns out here, not a place to come explore without someone who knows the area for the first couple times.

Glad it turned out ok for ya. Fix it up and come out for the guided tour next time.

Thats pretty much the look she's had everytime I've seen her.

Most people spend cash to get away from a 120/60 not the other way around. I would urge you not to do it.

I'm still learning, so I'm not nearly as smooth and quick as I would like to be! I usually place myself right at mid-pack and move forward or back from there.

Ananda, you are a far better rider than you give yourself credit for.

I can picture what happened on the ride where the guy moved up. He thought you guys were holding him up because others were pulling away so he moved up. The problem with that is they weren't pulling away because they were going fast between curves they weren't slowing down for the curves like he needed to. Estimating corner entry speed is an important skill to have, anyone can go fast in a straight line and group rides aren't the place to do that.

Yea, sounds about right.

If you've got to hit 100+ between the curves to catch back up with the group......... You're in over your head.

Did you decide to head out this way and hit the Coshocton roads for the first time without a guide or was it elsewhere?

Theres a few....But I am sure their time will soon come.

Well atleast you're honest about it.
