Thanks for pointing this out to us. The ZX12 you were interested in now has a new Yuasa battery.

Awesome! I'll be leading (most of) the rides......you know we'll have a good time.

Check out the 2014 Victory line at Pony Powersports. These demos are usually well attended by the OR group and I think everyone has a pretty good time. Come on out and take a spin on something a little different than what you normally ride - or, if you already ride a Victory, check out what they have changed for 2014. We do a nice little 18+ mile loop that takes about a half an hour. Of course the cost is free & there is no obligation what-so-ever. I hope you'll take a new Victory home, but even if you do not I'm sure you'll take home some cool memories of a fun test ride. Talk to some of your OR friends that have done this, I think most would give it a big thumbs up. Bring your Motorcycle license, long pants, sturdy shoes, eye protection & helmet (or we'll loan you a helmet) Bring a passenger if you'd like as well. First ride out will be about 11:00AM, last ride out will leave about 6:00PM

MMI People here right now. Come on out and found out what they have to say.

Iron Pony has been selling the Striders for about two years. Kids (and their parents) really seem to love them, and they work just as advertised.....Who knew it was the pedals that were messing us up as kids???? One of our employees got her daughter started on a strider when she was only 1.5 years old. She had her first race before she was two and now travels all over the place for Strider races. They were at the Strider Nationals last year in Florida and there were several teams from Japan. http://www.striderbikes.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=11&Itemid=175 Striders are a bunch of fun right from the start. If your kid can walk they can ride a Strider, plus it is an awesome intro into the world of two wheels. http://www.ironpony.com/ironponydirect/by-brand-page.asp/brand/STRIDER

OK. I'm not going to get defensive here, but you seem rather matter of fact on your post so I will reserve the right to do the same. The fee for taking the course through the state is now $50. It is subsidized through motorcycle license fees. We are a "private provider" of the MSF/Motorcycle Ohio course. The class and the results are the same, but we do not use your tax dollars to offset a portion of the cost of the course. Iron Pony Riding Academy, to the best of my knowledge, is the lowest priced "private provider" in our state with our $200 introductory rate. Most programs are $300 or $350. I will not go into details, but I can assure you it costs more than $200 per student to go through the class. The instructors do not work for free, we have overhead in the building that houses our classroom, (it is not in the same building as Iron Pony) the cost of the range and maintenance associated with it, Insurance premiums, loaner helmets, 15 brand new motorcycles, (imagine that!) and course supplies, materials and equipment. I am a huge fan of the MSF curriculum. I encourage everyone to take the course. I myself took the beginner course several years ago when a friend asked me to teach him to ride. I told him I would not, but that I would attend a beginner class with him. At that time I had held a MC endorsement for more than 25 years. Like many sports and activities where "muscle memory" is needed the experts say your should learn from a professional trainer first, that learning improper form or technique when self taught or taught by a friend is challenging to overcome. Like many on OR I learned to shoot from my dad, he was safety conscience, but he himself lacked professional training- it wasn't until years later that I learned I had horrible trigger discipline. If you are going to seriously pursue something that is potentially dangerous to you or others you should be responsible enough to become reasonably proficient. OK, so why would you pay an extra $150 dollars to take the course at Iron Pony Riding Academy rather than the state? I think we have the cream of the crop instructors. All MSF/Motorcycle Ohio instructors are certified, but Iron Pony Riding Academy is not obligated to allow certified instructors to teach the way the state is. We have hand picked our instructors, I know they are the best of the best. I'm certain if you have some ability (being able to ride a bicycle helps) our instructors can help you learn the basic skills that will start you on the path to a safe, skillful and confident life of motorcycle riding. We have a really nice classroom and range, our facility is new and conducive to relaxing and learning the curriculum. We have brand-spanking-new-motorcycles, if any of you have taken the course somewhere else and they used beat motorcycles you understand my point. I'm going to give you a cool Iron Pony Riding Academy T-shirt. You are going to have fun. In addition to learning skills that will serve you well for the rest of your life, you are going to enjoy developing these skills. The flexibility of a fairly open schedule, I have spots available, right now, no waiting, no standby. As others have said, please take the course. It not only makes you a better and safer rider, it will help you enjoy motorcycling more. It might be the difference between riding for a couple of years (how many people do you hear say they "use to ride"?) and riding for the rest of your life. If Iron Pony does not make money on this why do it? I could easily sit here and spout some romantic notion about "giving back" and supporting motorcycling and those are good reasons, but a bit clichéd. We want to create new riders in the local marketplace. We want to help you discover motorcycling and then become a source for the things that allow you to enjoy it.

FYI, before you make the trip. Iron Pony Motorsports is closed on Memorial Day. We are usually open about 358 days a year. We are OPEN EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR other than these exceptions: New Years Day Easter Memorial Day 4th of July Labor Day Thanksgiving Christmas Hours are the same year round....
