Awesome... Have ppl started going to them yet? If so what day?

Havent noticed any bike nights for the Dayton area. I dont know who plans/organizes it or what it takes, was just curious if there are any going on in Dayton area. Would be nice to meet and greet with some OR ppl. Any DYT ppl down to do that?

awesome man... R6 is def way to go ;-)

I havent been blown off all that much. All week every rider either initiated a wave first, or i would then they'd wave back... Ive been blown off maybe 3 times all week. 1 was a HD, another was huge cruiser not HD, and another a sports bike... So thankfully i havent found any evidence for stigmas, yet lol... The funniest thing i noticed though was that when i waved to guys on scooters or those "sports" scooters that look like real bikes until u get close and its like... hmm oh well, wave anyway... lol... Well every scooter i waved to waved to me like it was the last wave of their life... sooooo funny!!

Yo this thread went on a crazy ass tangent haha... I dont even know what to say lol

told u im new at this.. hahaha

I need to learn to do a wheelie asap then... lol

The weather has been awesome and ive been riding a lot lately. Im really new to the motorcycle scene and Im kinda diggn the whole waving-at-oncoming-riders thing. But a lot of times im at a stop light and riders pass me up and gesture, but i cant cuz im still in first holding on to the clutch lol... Wave with my right? Dont wave? Ignore? put in neutral just to wave?... Gah so confusing haha... Just wondering what anyone does or even gives a shit lol

Ho..ly... SHIT... That was incredible. Mad skillz

Got my leather perf jacket from newenough.com. Its a scorpion stinger red/black. Matches my bike perfectly and is surprisingly amazing quality for how much it was... So happy i looked around lol

I literally live 1min from kmart haha... Welcome buddy. let me know when u in huber

I love mw2, but it could use a little more dimension in its gameplay. Whats your guys' opinion of BC2?...

Thats just insane... 3 dead for sure and 2 more a possibility?!... Wow, a lot of lives just changed. Prayers go out to the riders and their families.

Well my sis has, so thats a huge accomplishment! haha... Me and her agree though that finding the sweet spot on the clutch is half the fun

Haha ya Im doing the exact same with my sis... Theres only so much you can teach/tell. The rest is getting a feel/used to your bike. Like brakes, clutch, accelerator etc... Honestly i think thats how much she's ridden also. The most she's ridden was when we went for a small ride in our neighborhood going through every street. I think she stalled like 10 times though haha

For sure! She loves it to death. It is an awesome bike, ESPECIALLY for beginners. Im still a noob and I find it very forgiving. Its also a very nimble bike which makes it more fun. How long have u been riding? My sis just got it a few weeks ago.

My sis just got a black 09 250r. She still keeps it here in dayton. Btw welcome!...
