A belated thank you. Just finished moving the kid back from Indianapolis. Damn this was a hot weekend for this kind of crap.

Get well soon.

Not addicted yet. Hope to be!!!

On the rare occasion I carry on the back of the belt. Need a touring jacket to cover it. Landing on it would really suck. Once I had a close look at the road while sliding on my side so, I figure that is the most likely scenario. By the way don't sweat the cops. They may confiscate your weapon and you have to go to the precinct to pick it up. Stay cool, move slowly, and follow instructions. Make sure you have the badge# and name of the officer.

ReconRat you make good sense. I do love left turns. very comfortable rolling on the throttle as well. May be too tight on the right clip-on. Shit, I got to scrounge up some money for a a couple of track days. That will either kill me or get me comfortable on the right.

As a matter of fact I do go through New Phillie regularly. I would love to see how your system works.

Try cheaperthandirt.com or doubletap.com They usually have some selection.

Fox racing guy you just might have crossed that fine line. :wink:

Welcome. Hope to see around Canal.

Nope, the bike is new from Honda. I am going to do a bit of measuring when I get a chance. For now I gave it a 1/4 turn more on the left when the chain was tensioned.

Thanks for the tip. I just got a couple of extra clips. I will check the feed. It still bugs me becasue there is absolutely no problem with the longer round.

The road crowns are a good point. No the bike never pulled to either side. However, the front does not show the same wear.

I got a Lone Wolf 40S&W barrel for my 10mm Glock. Over the years I got too lazy to reload and the 10s are bitch to find. Never mind the price:eek:. The first round out of the clip feeds really rough but, the rest feed ok. What gives? Does anyone have any experience with this? Before any of the Glock faithful think that I am heretic, the .40 configuration is for plinking only. I carry it only as 10mm.:grin:

Are you saying left front and rear vs. right front and rear?

Does anyone have a good way to make sure that the rear tire is aligned correctly? The original tire wore more on the left side eventhough the swing arm marks appeared correct.

Shit happens. Hey at least you did not do it in front of an audience.

Go with an FZ-1. The Gen 1 bikes are really comfortable on the street and still haul ass. Cheap too. You can find some really good ones on the FOA web site.

If I may suggest a shorter,weekend, trip to see if you can stand a full day in the saddle. Try a trip down to deals gap. Its about 400 miles each way plus a couple of runs on the Dragon and the Skyway. By the time you get back you will know if this doable. Most reasonable people, not the iron butt crowd, plan on about that distance. The biggest thing is that you will not feel like a zombie the following morning. Like Casper said take your time.

It seems odd but in the middle of lay offs there are positions open. Ex military and Moms are high on their list. You just never know unless you try. In any case best of luck to you.

Does anyone have experience with running ST tires on 1000cc sport bikes? I am thinking about putting a set of the new Pirelli Angel STs on my 1000rr. I do quite a bit of commuting so mileage is freaking important. Just 3000 miles on the bike and the rear tire is gone. Can't afford track time so that is not a consideration. Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated.

Honda of Marysville, pretty good bunch not cheap. :sad:

If you guys are doing Hocking in the morning I would be in. I don't have enough rear tire for Cosh. How about the Motorcycle ranch on 33? Lots of H-D's but, who cares!!! They usually snob me.

My god don't you guys sleep? 4:46AM?

I usually ride BIS and Revenge road to 374/180. The by-pass has too many of Ohio' finest.

ah, speed is relative
