  1. Sounds good. I received a phone call from one of the soldiers' grandmothers. I'm going to call her back tomorrow to get a list of exactly what they need/want.

    That sounds great. If the weather is ok I would like to ride but if it looks like we will have too much stuff to carry on the bikes I will drive my car. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. Does 11am at wally world on the 31st work for everyone?

  2. Ok how about we meet at 11 at the wal mart on stringtown. I can't believe nobody else has chimmed un on this. Anyone else interested in participating? Let's meet here do a group shopping and all ride up to deliver it. Maybe even write a thank you letter to the unit from OR.

    1693 Stringtown Rd, Grove City, Ohio 43123

  3. Are we going to get together and ride in as a large group? Maybe we could meet up at a Walmart or something and everyone buys a little something then we ride up escorting a car load of stuff to send over. Maybe get a list of things the guys here that have been there know we should send. I think it would be really cool and important for us to get together and support this as a group.

  4. Am i the only on who rides against the tank? it gives me good upright position while just cruising and also gives me a lot of leverage with my thighs so i dont slid farther forward.. just a comfortable lightly against the tank..

    I only do this when riding in super short baggy shorts. You know the kind you wear to restaurants to ruin peoples meals. Man I love those vibrations.

    J/k. I agree with this. Also you just bought the bike so the seller probably shined it up real nice to help sell it.= slippery seat. Don't worry this will go away after you hit the brakes to hard and shit your pants either due to pain or being scared. But the poo has to dry on the seat first.

  5. I was riding home from work one evening along 42 a couple months ago. It was about 10:40ish there was a slight "dog leg" turn ahead of me. Ahead of me I noticed a set of headlights coming out of the turn followed by another set. The the second set jumps into my lane. I flash my brights but nothing I hit my brakes as they close in. It's a full size truck passing a sedan. I pull as far to the right as I can and let off the brakes because I'm on the narrow gravel shoulder now doing about 40 mph. As both tires hit the gravel the three of us pass each other with the car in their lane the truck in mine and me on the shoulder. The truck was close enough that the wind coming off of it made my bike wobble. The asshole never lifted off the throttle. If it wasn't dark out I probably would have turned around to catch him and break his mirror off.

    The other day riding home from the hill climbs my girlfriend on the back going north on 71. I notice a cookie cutter custom chopper pull onto the left shoulder as if he is breaking down. As I get close in he speeds up. I slow and move over to give him room to jump into traffic. He cruises along the shoulder for about an 1/8 mile and I decide to continue passed him. I get about 2 cars ahead of him doing about 80mph with the flow of traffic. Then I notice him coming up really fast. He passes the two cars ahead of me and dives into the lane of traffic just before the shoulder narrows down. I'm thinking to myself this ass is going to kill himself right infront of us. A few miles up the road traffic thins out I get in the right lane and keep traveling about 80. The guy on the chopper is in the left lane and he is pulling away from me. As I start to pass an exit he slams his breaks swerves into my lane as if going for the exit. I hit my brakes as hard as I can without sliding. Just before we would make contact he looks over his shoulder and sees me. He swerves back into his lane. Now I'm on the interstate going way slower than the traffic behind me and in pain because my girlfriend was caught off guard and slid forward to share my seat smashing me into the tank. She gets back onto her seat I decide I need to get away from this guy and take off. As I pass him I notice that he is too cool for safety equipment like gloves jacket helmet and mirrors. WTF if your going to ride like an idiot you should use all that shit. Normally I don't care about people not wearing gear. to each his own. But if that same person almost collides with me going down the highway because he decides at the last possible second he doesn't want to be in the left lane but on the exit ramp instead. it really pisses me off especially since it could've been prevented with a set of mirrors.

    Sorry bit of a rant. Back on topic. I get over crap like this by using it as a lesson learned and a reminder that everything on the road may try to kill me. I don't make the same mistakes others have made towards me.
