palandor

Hey y'all,

just wondering if anyone is riding today (2009-08-02) at the marathon in beavercreek. I'm gonna pop out there about 10:45a and if no one is out there, probably go for a backroads "whatever" ride. Looks like the weather is going to be cloudy with no rain for the area at 72f.

Hey guys, did you hear palandor is having his grad party at BW3? Said his whole family is coming...

Sorry, I don't have any hot sisters...

Just found out some in-laws will be in town friday and saturday for my grad party, so I won't be able to make it Saturday. Another time though, or perhaps the sunday ride...

Did he catch you posting about getting caught playing it?

I miss my dual sport. Had a Suzuki dr350se for about 2 years but mostly used it for commuting to/from work and the occasional riding on land I shouldn't. Never had much chance to go ride with people that knew what they were doing. (I think it was generally too big for me anywho, next time I'm gonna look at a 250.)

Have fun y'all.

nothin wrong with that! I rarley go that fast. I cant afford to loose my licenses. most of the time i find some nice twisties, do the speed limit and just have a good time.

That's what I like too, plus the "country" scenery. I'll do the speed limit or 5 over usually, unless I'm still far slower than everyone else on the highway.

LOL! it's a nice little road. let me know when you want to go, and I'll show you the back way.

Sounds good, thanks. I haven't been out for a non-commute ride for a couple of weeks. Usually I head south from Beavercreek toward Caesar's creek or east to Xenia and then south, so I miss a lot of East/NorthEast fun.

ok then he is talking about Wilberforce-Clifton Road in Greene county. It's behind Central State and leads to Clifton, Yellow Springs.

And this is why I should finish reading threads before replying...

Thanks!

We refer to the twisty road between Yellow Springs and Xenia as the backbone. Did you happen to catch where the guy might be from?

What's the name of that road? Looking on google maps and they all seem pretty tame.

I don't have a tach either... Someone on the yahoo! EN500 group did the math on gear ratios, wheel size, and rpms and has an Excel spreadsheet... PM me and I can email it to you as it's got pluggable cells that you can insert your own values.

Not only can it do 90, but when I let off the throttle the rpms come down too :-D

:-)

I've got yer smaller cousin, the 500 LTD. It's a fun little bike; makes me wonder how much different the ninja ex500 is.

Thanks for all the welcomes! Today is a riding day for me, just like every weekday I work. (I ride rain or shine above 38f unless it's super stormy or I have to carry something larger than roll/saddle bags.)

I'm looking forward to meeting folks; seems like there's a lot of great variety of fun personalities (and a shitload of humor on here too).

What if I told you this went from like 11am to 3 pm?

That might work for me until about 2p, but I have to check with the party planner since it starts at 4p and she might want help. :-D

Dang it. I'd come to the M&G but I have a graduation party to go to that afternoon/evening (mine, finally!).

I just joined, and looked over a bunch of posts, but I haven't figured out if y'all always have a thursday or sunday ride planned, or if it's only when someone posts something about it?

Anywho, I'm up for something in the evening this week, and sunday if we're done by 1:30-ish. :-) I'm not new to solo riding, but am definitely new to group riding so I might have a little to learn.

Hey y'all,

Been riding a bit over 3 years and enjoying almost all of it. Mostly I commute on my motorcycle, but I also like to go for fun rides too. I joined looking for area group rides and from what I can tell, sounds like I'll find 'em.

Cheers,
