Welcome! Good first post.

Welcome!

If you were to pull off an exit and shut your bike down immediately, it would be as cool as it's ever going to get. Trouble is, nobody lives at a rest area so the bike just keeps getting hotter from the time you exit 'til you get home. In this heat that means about 225° when you hit the driveway. The engine can take that but if you want to try to ease it's pain you can pull in, set a fan pointed at the radiator and then after a while start the engine for a few seconds to clear the bearings and circulate cool water in. Cool-down is not exactly unimportant. Heavy equipment operators go through a regimented cool-down process at the end of every running. Why? The engines are expensive and they want to make them last as long as possible. Cars actually have it much easier. When you sit at a light in your car, the engine is cooling down. On your bike, it's heating up.

Thanks! I've heard of this 'Hocking' area. I'll have to check it out someday. I'm checking it out on Google Maps right now. It seems to be...route 33 South and go right at 374. That 374 looks nice and curvy!

Yea, the deal killer is always the part of the pitch that depicts real life as an animation. Good thought, though.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Could definitely tell when you were in Iowa and Nebraska. Great video! I wish there was frame advance in YouTube.

It would be better if you could just conceal and carry.

I was just there today. Coming from Cycle Search, passed up Old State and hit Africa Rd. to the lake. The sun is definitely bad going West on 36/37 at that time but you don't go if you don't know.

Welcome! What year FJ?

I went with a friend who got his license a few years ago (2007 I think). The cones were not offset and they were very close together. He was on a 250 so he didn't have a problem. He did miss a little on the 'take off, swerve then stop here' section. Just stay loose and don't worry. There was also a guy on a brand new Harley in full dress Harley merchandise who went first. We were too far away to hear words but he stopped him mid test and I guess told him that he wasn't going to pass and to go practice and come back. Brand new rider, large heavy bike no ride time on equals not good.

Say...that's a nice bike!

Welcome!

Hyde Park grille has the best steaks in this town. You need reservations and it's expensive. J. Alexanders has really great prime rib and they don't take reservations (you'll wait for a table but it's worth it). Just get an app. and some drinks at the bar. Happy Anniversary!

+1. Spray it on, let it soak and work at it with a damp terry cloth. GL

Happy Birthday, man! Go take a ride!

It's not a real shotgun, it's a toy. Even if it was a Featherlite he couldn't wave it around and stop it like it was made of balsa wood. Even if he is 300 pounds.

You should hear me in the car. Carolla's a punk.

That skateboard clip is the funniest thing I've seen in a while.

Great story. And true. Crematoria's no fun after noon.

You can pick up a 10/22 for less than $130. Try Cabela's for stocks and barrels.

Definitely 10/22. Millions of mods if you ever want to. I just added the Volquartzen precision extractor.
