  1. Any time... we will keep you in the loop.
  2. Welcome! Just North if you in Medina. We roll through Wooster almost every ride. Typically we meet at Minit Mart at the 83/250 intersection just south of Wooster. 83 is a great route to SEO.
  3. Welcome! CT70 is a cool bike.
  4. I want a good platform to make an OW01 clone.in the day, Yamaha FZR’s were my favorite bike... looks and all. OW01 was unobtanium and FZR1000 is a great platform for a clone.
  5. Great bike for the time... of you don’t want to mess with it, let me know, looking for one of these to restore.
  6. Have a matte black Shoei and it’s not harder to clean than any other helmet I have owned, gloss or otherwise.
  7. I certainly will not argue your points... the low wage has removed the older experienced mechanics and there is no way to pass the experience to younger mechanics. This is a problem in many trades, even if pay is good. I have known many great motorcycle mechanics over the years, but most if not all have retired or left the industry because of pay. The vacuum has been filled by people who should not work on anything, let alone a motorcycle. There are still good mechanics out there, but it’s far and few between... as evidence by the horrible work people bring to me and I have to fix. The amount of tires mounted backwards is mind boggling!
  8. Almost new Continental Motion ST tires. approximately 500 miles or less Front 120/60-17 Rear 160/60-17 $75.00 OBO
  9. Welcome! You have come to the right place...
  10. Have never waited more than 3 days for any Japanese big three, with the exception of an older bike with a back ordered part. Even then it was a week. Bought brake caliper rebuild kit for an 83 Yamaha Seca 900 and had them in 3 days. the real problem is shops run too lean and the quality of technician is not what it once was.
  11. Absolutely... PM sent

    NEO riders...

    You need to make that 83 south and hit the good stuff, then hit 93 and bring it back north. FYI...83 between Millersburg and Wooster was in real bad shape last night after the storm and 4” of rain in less than an hour. There were multiple mud slides and flooding. Was closed so we had to go around.
  13. Got a warning in Dalton once... maybe the same guy? attitude and courtesy make a difference.
  14. Tried to steer him to an SV, but his hatred of v-twin sound was unwavering.
  15. May be better to meet at 7 and in road by 7:30. gives room for gas up in Malta and head to meet spot.
  16. Thanks for the lead... We ended up finding a nice YZF600R that is clean and unmolested.
  17. Won’t do it again unless they want to pay. I understand why the shops want so much cash to service. plugs and valves were easy... who designs an air filter location like that, Honda you should be ashamed.
  18. Son has become board with the 250 and looking to step up. Looking for 600 like the following types of bikes. Insurance needs to be reasonable. Yamaha FZ6, FZ6S, YZF600R Honda CBR F3, F4, F4i please keep a look out, or if you having something decent collecting dust in the garage let me know. he is working with a budget of $2200.00
  19. I can take a look and discuss in more detail. PM sent

    Oh the irony.

    Problem with Germany is, every time they are left to themselves they try to conquer the world.
