mello dude

I'm running Spiegler and they and are very good, but a little pricy. The main reason I went with them is that they are in Dayton and working direct with them at their shop made it ez.

As some of you know I have a honda spirit 1100, I really want to get a sport bike which size should I start with, Not knowing really the difference in riding cruiser and riding a sport bike i.e handling,acceleration,.

I have been looking at kawasaki ninja 600 and 1000 also a katana 600.

thanks in advance for any comment (good or bad)

Dude - if your only riding experience in life is on a cruiser, consider slowing down a bit and consider an SV650 with the clip-ons. Get you riding skillz up for a season and then consider if you want a hyper bike and go for the full sports 600 or 1000. Theres a nite and day difference between riding cruisers and riding sport.

What route do you "dayton area" guys normally take. 70 to 555. then 555 back up 70 then home. I might be doing this sunday and i am trying to keep this under an eight hour adventure.

Well if your set on 555 and need to make time, run it south, then 32 west to 56 west by Athens, theres some good twistys around there that go past Hocking hills and then motor 56 back to 70 and home. To bad you dont have more time, there some great stuff over around Marietta too.

Run 26 north to south... sweet!

This about covers it, and it's why I'll never be racing at Kil-Kare. Milan which is a much respected and huge NHRA track doesn't even require lanyard kill switches, but Kil-Kare does. Even on T&T nights.

Anyone who wishes to race on 2 Wheel Tuesdays must have

the following safety equipment and certifications:

All Riders must have:

Pants (Leather Pants Recommended)

DOT approved or Snell Helmet

Lanyard kill switches ONLY!

Boots that cover the ankle

Gloves

Any Riders going over 120 mph in the 1/4 Mile must have FULL LEATHER SUIT!

Any riders going faster than 9.99 in the 1/4 mile must have licensing

from an appropriate sanctioning body.

(NHRA, IHRA, Prostar)

So where is Milan? I wouldnt mind doing 3 or 4 runs just for fun.

Those old Sabres are very cool. I had a 700.

Hey!

I'm a noob to OhioRiders but no way a new rider. Been 2 wheeling for 30 years +. Started on dirt bikes and some moto cross, moved to street bikes and cant count how many I've had. Most have been Hondas. Currently have a '98 VFR with quite a few suspension and brake mods I use for twisty corners, and then a stock Valkyrie for some laid back cruizn. I like to say - one to go fast and one to go slow.

I live in south Dayton and currently am out of work. I wouldnt mind hooking up with anybody for daytime rides if anyone is up. I like to get out around Waynesville, Lebonon, Hillsboro and if real ambitious, Athens and Marietta.

Later:cool:
