LoL @ the "super hard core HD riders hurting my sportbike".

There's a joint that I like to frequent in SEO. It's a "harley bar"' date=' if there is such a thing. Lots of NoGo chrome and leather in the parking lot. Lots of wrinkly faced HD riders in the bar and on the deck. I park my bike right next to the HDs and sit right next to the riders. Nobody ever says a damn thing. Granted, nobody offers any conversation, but I kind of like being left alone when I'm eating. I just find it funny how 'sporties' are scared of HD riders, when they get off their bikes.

You guys gotta' stop watchin' Sons of Anarchy. [/quote']

Well said. Heck I don't offer up conversation to much of anybody, and if I do, I don't give a rip what they ride.

I live about 30 minutes from Jimbo's and I've been hearing some bad stuff about some of the people that have been going in there. There is a group thats just treating it like an outlaw biker bar.

Ok, this one made me laugh. JimBo himself isn't going to put up with this kind of stuff, so I highly doubt it being anything but a rumor. The joint serves ice cold beer and great burgers, BIG burgers, and I have seen bikes of all makes there. There's parking in front of the eatery, or across the street, but it does have mostly HD riders, or cruiser riders as customers. But I have seen groups of sport riders come in with no bs from the Hog riders.

But like anywhere, mix alcohol (beer) with an azzhole and we all know what comes out. And that can happen anywhere.

And remember, if you do ride down there, he takes CASH only.

Yep musta missed the part that you already bought it. My bad. As to the wallymower, I was talking about it lasting. I bought mine just to do trimming, once a week, sometimes I'd skip a week, and before the end of the summer it was giving me all sorts of problems. Maybe you'll have better luck, hope so. Me, I wouldn't buy another one.

I may end taking the quick and easy way...Walmart has a 20" weed eater brand mower

for $125 with mulching capabilty' date=' guessing that means a add-on kit.

The engine looks like the same exact one on my current mower... B&S 158cc

only difference is a 1in smaller cut. Online reviews of the mower look okay.[/quote']

-WARNING_

I bought one of those WallyWorld weedeaters and its the biggest piece of crap.

Why not call a local shop that works on and sells mowers and parts? Check and see if they have anything used. They usually go through them so you could get a good solid mower for less than new $$.

I used to have a fear of freeways. I could not tell you what that fear was, my dad thought maybe it was the thought of going down and semi's not seeing you and running you over. I still have a fear of passing semi's. Something about the push pull effect with the flat spots on them traveling at high speeds.

Recently I have forced myself to run the freeways on short jaunts. Pushing myself over the fear factor mark. It's not that bad, just a new experience.

After my little bout with the Ahole running across maple ave I have become even more cautious than what I already was.

Yep, we on two wheels can never be too careful when riding.

Years back my best friend's dad was killed when he hit a deer (decapitated it) on his Electraglide running down the road at the posted limit of 50 mph down in Ill. He was an ex-LEO with lots of roadtime under his belt. His was a closed casket funeral.

We just can't be too careful.

I personally would have notified the officer would have not stopped me. I would have notified as soon as he walked up to the car window. I notify even if not carrying just to put the officer at ease. I have a funny story concerning notifying ill have to post later.

Oh I agree. The driver was out of line but the cop went so far overboard after totally the cops' mishandling of the stop from the get go. That, imho, put both officers in more peril than the drivers failure to inform. Stress is stress and everyone handles if different, and because of the deadly nature of their job, cop's are under a lot of it. Still no excuse. Maybe he should sign on in one of the major Cities PD's, like LA or Philly Boston or NY. Stress there must be even higher for officers.

But we should be more appreciative of those officers who go about their daily occupation safely while at the same time enforcing the law with respect and dignity given and taken.

Thanks to you all!

Sounds great except for the fuel needed. One of those things can suck a lot of propane or nat gas real quick especially during the winter months.

A bad cop (for whatever reason) who should either find another line of work, or be transferred to a permanent desk job.

Illegal immigration is illegal although not on the scale of an illegal war. But it does amount to $billions$ being burned up nationwide and all of us 'legals' are paying their way. Immigrants = votes and when our dear govt screws with their families (illegals) then tend to not vote for that particular candidate/party.

It all comes down to votes as is the norm with the slime in Washington.

Highways just make me want to blast past traffic at a steady 3-digit pace........I'm more into backroads for commuting, just more fun and typically the routes I take are less travelled -- rarely see a sheriff, but they do appear once in a while

Plus it's hard to beat tree canopied backroads on hot summer days -- it's free a/c for bikers!!

Exactly!

Anyone riding up from Circleville way??

Happy Birthday and hope your trip to Nashville is fun.

Not sure if you are aware but anytime you ride in the mountains there is at least a 50% chance of showers....lol

Last time we rode in the areas ( Hillsville, Va over to Danville and down to Raleigh) we rode through blinding monsoons.....still had a great time. Guess its just a part of the journey and adventure.

gasup in Hillsville prior to the monsoon

My gal standing by Lovers Leap in Va before the monsoon

Right after this it let loose and was impossible to take any pictures.....didn't have any underwater camera equipt....lol

On the internet communication can be difficult. All we see is what's typed on the screen. No facial expression or body language, just words. Sometimes it is better to just keep it to yourself.....a bad habit of mine.....

But sometimes we all do get along, sport riders and us Harley riders. That's cool. Just wish us bikers could get along likewise with all the cages around on the roads. Usually that ends up with a biker down, like the other night (11 pm) on 22 eastbound just outside Circleville. This girl in a cage pulls out in front of a biker cruising east towards Lancaster. Like she couldn't see the headlight shining with a dark sky background. Bike hit her dead broadside, biker was dead on the scene. Bet she was either under the influence or texting. That or just plain not capable of figuring the bike was too close. His speed was estimated at near 50 or so. If that's the case she should get her license pulled.

At the least, vehicular manslaughter, but most probably she'll get a citation for failure to yield or some bs like that.

-RANT OFF-

Have any pictures of the interior?

And what would be the weight capacity? Would need to be able to safely handle my HD along with the wife's 650 V Star.

So Farrow Lost their tuner eh? I was up there just before the 4th and it was sounding like there had been a shakeup.

They she'll report about it over-emotionally on CNN.

At least she'll stfu about Anthony.....

I forgot the shotgun shock system is designed for softtails. Not sure if they have designed it for anything else, but you can check with Drew at http://www.drvtwin.com/.

Good people to deal with. Tell him glideridemike sent you.

Might look at the shotgun suspension. Its supposed to be great.

I withya on a true fan sticking with your team regardless. Moving to Buckeye land a few years back I could see a strong fan backing for the team. There are extremists like everywhere, but OSU has a strong following. They team will survive. Fickle seems to be a good choice, and the addition of the new linebacker's coach is great for the team, and OSU will win its share next year with a good chance to beat the Wolverines again this year, although it may very well be more of a fight than in the RichRod/Carr years. Neither coach was worth a crap, but Hoke is quite successful and a big Wolverine football man. Makes me think of Fickle at OSU. Hoke is quickly making wholesale changes and while many of the players are from the RR era, look for them to be strong in '12 and quite possibly dangerous to play this year. I think both Fickle and Hoke emphasize old school strengths on defense Big 10 style but know how to blend it into the bigger faster athletes coming up. Great competition in the Big 10 only brings about better play from all the schools so come bowl time we can stomp some SEC azz.

But I'm afraid OSU is looking at some real sanctions, and loss of scholarships which could really handcuff Fickle.

I am a HUGE Wolverine fan but hate seeing OSU's team fooked by the attitude of a guy like Pryor who seemed to have Tressel over a barrel. Too Bad, Tress was a great coach between the lines.

Wide Glide here, and yes I've gone 2 up on long tips loaded with luggage. At the time I was running lowered Fox billet shocks. Lots of adjustment, but being an inch shorter, a loss in travel. So in some rougher roads it would bottom out. Since mine were put on when the bike was new I still had my stock 12"ers and put them on before heading out west. Was only riding solo, but was fully loaded down. The extra inch of travel made a big difference.

Isn't the Streetglide equipped with air suspension? Maybe your's is too old a model. If it isn't, that might be an option. If thats your bike in the pic it appears to have been lowered? Nice looking scoot. Lowered?

Its our anniversary so will have to check with the ball n chain....errrrr sweety.

37 years of wedded gridlock....wedlock....lol

Seriously, I'm a lucky man and still in love.

Yep, I believe its a go Scotty.....

We might ride up....tho over 3 hrs to end up in the metropolis called Toledo is not on my bucket list....lol....based on google maps you might as well say southeast Michigan....lol

So whats this joint we're supposed to meet up at??

Also, anyone from down Circleville way contemplating joining in on the festivities?? I mapped it and the most direct rt is straight up 23.

so just give em the emails....what have you got to hide???????????
