  1. Sorry... just noticed my repost of this topic. Anyway, in this video, the road intersecting 225 is the road I live on. I turn there every time I go to work. Guess I have more to watch out for now. http://www.fox8.com/news/wjw-debris-left-on-state-route-portage-county-txt,0,2941628.story?track=rss&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wjw-news-national+%28WJW+-+Nation+World%29

I turn there on my way to work. The woman in the video is right; someone is going to get killed. SORRY: REPOST! SHOULD HAVE CHECKED.

    From the album: Ran-dumb stuff

  4. Too funny. I knew a guy like that in high school. We used to do the same thing; make stuff up and let him ramble on about it. If I remember right, one of them was a "Amees 2000 holographic effects generator" lol... taken from the "Seema for class President" sign above his head.
  5. The dead giveaway: "I am interested in trading for a Harley Street Glide or Harley Road King" You figure it out from there.
  6. Excuse me, but did you say... 2 eighty eight? I thought so.
  7. I'm almost exactly between Y-town and Akron, south of Newton Falls.
  8. Yeah, generally they do, but typically I only ride with 1 or 2 other people at a time. I don't like big groups... creates too many problems.
  9. ABSOLUTELY! I think it's total crap that they don't have to stay within limits. Let's get back to the basics of funding only what is necessary to run the country.
  10. Yeah, yeah... I know ... I was coming from the world of cruisers, dual sports, and tourers. I had a lot to learn.
  11. Make sure you're not riding with your foot resting on the brake. Don't ask me how I figured this out.
  12. Definitely freaking creepy. Don't remove it's necklace! (ever read "Prey" by Richard Matheson?)
  13. I just noticed that you are in Akron. If you want to ride Saturday or Sunday, let me know. I'm not too far from there, and we could meet up somewhere along 76 and head south and east. My typical route is down around the Carrollton area, which is a good hour ride south. I like to hit part of 9, 164, 646.
  14. I give you that's somewhat true about 800; it has a little taste of most stuff, but nothing really technical. The stretch right above route 70 is pretty good, actually; nice tight sweepers. There is nothing really challenging on that road taken at a sane pace. I've ridden it from Uhrichsville to 7. I've yet to ride 255 or 260. I'll have to take a look at those. I'm in the NE part of the state, so it requires a little commitment of time to get down there and ride. My favorite road to ride for a variety of personalities and easy access would be 9. It doesn't get really tight either, but there is enough twisting and good pavement that an 80-90mph pace is pretty fun. The OP said he's an intermediate rider. I guess I don't know exactly what that means, as I would call myself an intermediate rider, and I have been at it for 15 years and haven't ever had a problem keeping up on the street (yet). To me, it sounds like he's looking for some good technical riding, and 800 really isn't that great for that. Just one guy's opinion.
  15. 2007- 20,000 miles 2009- 5,500 miles
  16. I had somebody tell me that 800 was the best road in Ohio. I thought it was really a boring ride when I finally did get on it. There are better roads with better pavement. The good news is that many of them either intersect 800 or are really close to it. 78 is a good ride. If you're feeling comfortable on 78, take it all the way over to 555 and head south to 7. That one will give you a workout. Watch for gravel on 555. I was over there 2 days ago and there was quite a bit.
  17. wtf is wrong with people these days? Not only the people that did this, but some of the comments posted in response of the news... "Until I know who did this, I'm going to blame it on the polar bears. They wanted their ice back." Yeah... really funny. People died, and you made a great joke. It's so funny. We're all laughing until it's our family. Sad.
  18. Cool project. I love Honda V4's.
  19. It seems to me that there are some really good cops, and some really bad cops. I've run into both types. The cop in the original video doesn't have the qualities needed to be a good cop. In spite of his big and bad attitude, he didn't deal with the situation logically at all, and put himself at risk. He might think that being in control means being the aggressor, but his confidence far outweighs his competence in this video. Cool heads always prevail.
  20. I'm a little biased, but the Triple engine is just amazing. It has a wide and flat torque band and makes pretty good horsepower too. It really is a good medium between the twins and 4's. Some don't like a bike without a "hit" up on top, but I'll take a wide spread of torque any day, at least on the street. If not a triple, I would prefer a twin (and have one). Why turn past 9-10K if you don't have to?
  21. Sorry, but I had to vote for beatbox boy. He won't have anything else to remember in his life. I wonder if any of these 3 could tell us what 48/2(9+3)=??
  22. why even bother after that.
