Who actually plans on riding there anyway?

Motorcycle parking is free (for you folks coming up from Columbus). Where's the party?

According to the website it is discounted, not free.

Do you have other information?

I was just happy to be in the final, given how bad the season was. Though I see both finalists had a loosing record in the regular season.

I rented a DRZ400sm from sportbikes4hire a couple years ago when the family vacationed in the area. 

A supermoto was a great bike for the area and they were great to deal with. I rented for 1 day. They delivered the bike the night before and pick it after I returned back to the cabin the next day. Definitely would do it again if I was not riding my own bike down.

Looks like someone is already planning for next year.

I disagree with tonik I think it will be back on the ballot soon and maybe more palatable to the average ohioian.

arrgh, my 2 top scorers this week were on the bench.

Looks like my opponent (Jeremy) had about as much luck with his best QB and W/R on the bench.

So I go into this evening with a good chance for a win despite scoring about 30 points less than was possible.

So I'm sure I will play those 2 next week and they will do squat as starters.

I lucked into a very close win last week. Mixing it up a little this week and hoping for the best.

Amazing how close the league is. Most of the 2-3 teams have scored more points than the 3-2 teams

Well that was a disappointing week.

Not only did I score the lowest point total I have ever scored but my bench had 0 points. So I could not have done any better than I did with the players on my roster.

Now I notice that my backup QB, who is playing for the injured starter, has a bye week this week. So I need to find a 1 week fill in that can hopefully score a couple points.

I may be bringing up the rear if this continues.

Big open yard - HP and deck width determine the effort required. ZTR or tractor no big difference.

Lots of trees or other things to go around get a ZTR. Saves a ton of time and effort. 

Mary and Doc:  Don't think this is correct.  If you pick a second agent who will do the negotiating for you, he/she is still being paid for by the seller, i.e., the agent is legally bound to work for the seller's best interest.  If the BUYER enters into a contract with a realtor/agent--NOT the listing agent--and is paying the fee out of their own pocket, then they're most definitely working for you.

In all the home buying/selling transactions I have been involved in there are typically 2 agents involved. A sellers agent and a buyers agent. The commission is typically split between the 2 though the actual terms are in the sellers contract. If you sign a contract with a buyers agent it is typically an exclusive arrangement that they will represent you for a period of time in any real estate transaction, and thereby collect their share of the commission even if you find the house yourself.

I found the buyer's agent useful in getting viewing appointments and leting me know what steps I needed to do for inspections, financing, etc as well as helping with much of that work. Not so much in finding a house.

Ask Pauly how often I wash my bike.

I have ridden in the rain a few times this year, does that count?

I did take some cleaner and a rag to the windscreen and head lights due to a few million dead bug recently.

Craig

I paid less than $3000 for my 650 Vstrom, however I have seen very few for sale in that price range. 

The Vstrom does make for a pretty comfortable very capable bike if you are looking to explore more adventurous gravel roads without spending a ton. 

Bikes like the Bandit and Versys are probably a little cheaper with the same age and mileage if you plan to stick to the pavement most of the time.

Craig

I'd much rather have a fly or mosquito in the house than a spider... one is a minor annoyance, the other induces terror on an instinctive level

So pests that feed on your blood and spread diseases are OK. But those that exterminate the former are bad.

Hmm you may want to reexamine your priorities

Does it work with bicycles?

Speaking from experience with the Garmin Vivofit kind of.

These devices sense "steps" based on a motion sensor.

It seems to be mostly based on the step impact. 

On a bicycle the Vivofit seems to count some of the road vibrations as steps but it is inconsistent. 

This morning my 26 mile ride netted me about 5000 steps. 

I chose the Vivofit over fitbit because it was cheaper, waterproof and does not need charged. It is also simplier but I don't mind the missing features.

Craig

Thanks for the response! Can you elaborate a little on what you mean though?

Sorry I am an idiot with this kind of stuff.

 

If I'm buying a used bike from someone and therefore having the title transferred to me in the process, I don't need to go pay sales tax?

 

What do i have to do then? just get the thing registered and I'm good to go?The 

The seller signs the title and puts the price on the back of the title. This step must be notarized. This is all you need to get a title transfer at which time you will pay a fee and taxes.

Hey guys, so I have done a lot of research in to this process in Ohio, doesn't seem horribly different from when I had my motorcycle 5 years ago in Texas but just wanted to make sure I have everything right so I don't end up in jail- If anyone can give me input I will be SUPER grateful

 

1) Go to license exam station, take written exam, get temp license

 

2) Go buy the used bike I want with a clean title, sign a bill of sale with seller, have him transfer title to me

 

3) Take the title to title transfer station of some kind, have it officially notarized or whatever, and pay sales tax? (If I buy the bike for 4,000- can I say it was a private sale of like 3,000 to save on tax? or is this kind of thing not advisable)

 

4) Get the bike registered, another payout to state

 

5) Get the bike insured

 

5) Go take skills course on my new bike within a few months (Do I have to do this immediately? Can I ride with my temp license for a few months?)

 

6) Finally obtain motorcycle license and be totally legal.

 

 

Always feels like a lot of extra $ to pay and loops to jump through just to ride a bike, but whatever, it's worth it- do I have it all down? Missing any critical stuff?

MUCH LOVE to anyone who can let me know! Can't wait to be riding with you guys, haven't done it since I was 18 : ) 

 

 

 

PS- ~4,000 budget. Want a speedy little devil. What to get? 

 

http://limaohio.craigslist.org/mcy/4989949556.html Can anyone find a more impressive deal than this? sounds like the guy is willing to haggle with me.

1) yep

2)This is the step you need notorized, when the seller signs the title over to you. The back of the title will have a spot for his signature and price. 

3) Not advisable though some people do. Be aware the state may look up reasonable values post title transfer.

4) yep need a plate

5a) Probably should get insured with purchase at step 2.

5b) Your temp license is good for 6 months but has limits (no freeway or passengers plus must wear helmet until 1 year after full license)

6) Good to go.

I have not used them but I have seen several bikes setup with Rotopax mounts. 

I have a full gym at my office. Just need to stop being lazy and wake up early to get here and actually workout

We have a gym too.

I have used it enough to know I hate working out, especially inside

However I do enjoy cycling and recently standup paddleboarding.

So I am bicycling to work atleast once a week (26 miles each way). I find this the easiest way to fit exercise into my schedule.

Its not what you do, just that you do it.

IP your looking great. Congratulations. 

Craig

I hate when people think they can pour concrete, and this type of thing happens.  Really pisses me off when people think they know what they're doing.

 

Good luck with your drainage issue.

Interesting product I happened upon.

In a week, or so. NoMar is sending a replacement as soon as I ship this out. Been hectic here, as of late. I can still do tires, so long as they habent been mounted forever. I did yours last year, or the year before?

You did my rear last year the both the year before. Will need both replaced soon enough. 

Craig

Glad you are OK.

That intersection is messed up. It should be treated as one but looks like there are 2 separate intersections.

Sounds like the auto driver was an idiot, still as you know you were at fault and giving yourself more room would have made it easy to avoid the problem. 

Get that bike repaired and back on the road. Learn from your mistakes don't make it an excuse to stop doing something you love.

Craig

I can't do tires right now. My bead breaker is broken.

So when do you think you will be back in operation? I'm going to need new tires pretty soon. I probably have about 1000 miles left on my current set.

DucRx. Good dude. You won't regret going to him. Isaac'sPapa on here.

He is in Ravenna

This is news? I've been drinking sam smith's and young's chocolate stout for years.

There are a large number of chocolate stouts on the market and Sam Smith's and Young's have been doing it for years. A good stout and dark chocolate go together really well.

Might have to try Southern Tier's version to see how it compares.

Been commuting on the Vstrom most of March. 

As long as there is not snow or ice on the roads I am riding.
