Weather permitting I am up for a meet, eat, ride kinda thing. That sounds like good fun. QSL in Valley may be a good location as most folks already know where it is.

I was kidding actually. I assumed you had an R1 lump in a 6 chassis. Now that would be sick.

and 3 of us is enough for a party

We miss some but I don't think to many from up here in Cleveland land were planning on making the trip south. If we do miss a few I sure don't mind having a Burger and Ride version 2.

We could but I would hate to leave out a good location that I had not thought of. Lets get some ideas of where from everyone and then we can make a quick and dirty poll of the top 3 ideas...

How about April 3rd then....... Lets take a day to collect location ideas....

And a Quaker Bike Night in Sheffield as well....

Why would anyone in there right mind stick that little anemic R6 engine in a R1 chassis?????????

Looks like the big OR meet n greet will be in July. I was thinking maybe the first weekend in April would be a good time for a small local "Hi" meet up. Burger and a ride.....I am a newbie here and I am not the only one so it would be really nice to get to meet a few other local riders early on in the season. I was thinking a good central NEO location may be Rocky River or Berea...

Sorry, I forgot my smiley face after my post..... So here

Too funny

Wish I knew. I started this thread but quickly got bumped out of it. If any of you local guys just want to get together for a beer and a burger some evening feel free to post it up. Nothing official of course.

Nope, not I. I did see some other guy in Elyria though riding a Katana and wearing a white head wrap/facemask. I chuckled.

Gay would be wearing chaps and not changing.....

I had an expensive day as well. I activated my insurance policy on the bike today and Progressive found my car accident from last winter. 3 car accident on slick roads and 2 of us got tickets for following to close. Instant $250.00 a year increase. First ticket in 13 years.

Roads finally looked pretty clean and the temps were in the low 40's with sunshine. Seemed like the perfect day to take my new to me RC51 out on her maiden voyage. I called the wife and we decided to meet in Elyria for lunch so I was off with a destination in mind. I rode a total of 50 miles some freeway and some rural and I think it is safe to say that the Honda and I should get along just fine. Yes the stock seat will be uncomfortable pretty quickly as the leading edges were already digging into my thighs a bit and yes the throttle response was a little abrupt at low RPM's but these minor issues are easily fixed and or ignored. This bike does make beautiful music from the gear whine in the front to the bass note from the rear. Downshifts are a audible delight. She seems to hold a line very nicely but the cold dirty roads and a rusty rider had me not pushing very much. Oh yea, I love the big trunk. Big enough to put a bike in! Hope everyone else was able to get out today. It was a great start to the season.

I did ride through Crocker Park today

50 miles today to Elyria to meet the wife for lunch and then took the long way home. Little chilly but to bad...

Detonation? Looks to me like a valve head just beat the shit out of everything but I am no expert. My Buick V6 ownership experience was all with bolt on parts and tuning with a Direct Scan system. Nothing compared to this beast

Any idea what caused the valve failure?

Major suckage...... I miss my T-Type

count me in......work schedule allowing..

Good move on Not doing this yourself. Been there, tried that.

Nope, I never rode a moped before
