  2. Who can transport a motorcycle from Detroit to Cleveland?

    in Daily Ride

    Posted

    FYI: Feb '19 I went the U-Haul route & rented their dedicated motorcycle trailer going to fetch my 1200 Multistrada 180 miles away.  Total cost was less than $30 for the day.  Crappy day that had me wishing I would've rented a fully enclosed trailer, but w/ the 50-60 mph headwinds blowing s**w & the road crew salting the roadways, it was nothing $5 at the local car wash didn't remedy...

  3. Speeding ticket handling

    in Daily Ride

    I got popped about three yrs. ago on the slab in N. Dayton...   I didn't have the time, nor want to return to court to contest it.  I lawyered up & got it changed to malfunctioning equipment violation or something like that.  Cost a few bux for the lawyer, but it kept my insurance rates the same, whereas an speeding excessive velocity award would've easily surpassed the cost of the lawyer by mucho $$$ for a LOT longer....  Friggin' insurance thieves...

    Question -- you done anything about the Z12 cam-chain tensioner issues? The starter motor, especially when started in gear, will sometimes overwhelm the automatic tensioner, and the tensioner arm will whack the clutch basket. They have a few set-screw-and-CNC remedies that don't cost too much.

    Motor is bone stock & haven't had any issues w/ the oem set-up, unlike my C10 Concours @ < 20k miles.  On the C10, I used an A.P.E. tensioner which took care of that issue..

    In order to preserve my drivers license, I'm listing my '04 ZZR 12 for sale:

    004.JPG

    '04 ZZR1200 w/ 35k ish.. miles on it (& they will go up as it does daily commuting & weekend playing). I bought the bike in '12 & thought I could make a decent sport-tourer out of it wanting something a little different than the C10 Concours I sold previous.... turns out that while it's a fun bike, even w/ the mods, it'll never be what I miss about the Concours..
    Anywho, here's the skinny: Metz Z6 f & r tires have about 1500 miles on them, 3 windscreens; oem, Mra w/ extender, & Ermax w/ MRA extender, C10 handlebars, which are taller than the oem bars w/ blocks that most people install, heated grips, Corbin seat, Tutoro chain oiler just installed, new chain & sprockets not installed, & old style Krauser saddlebags. A trunk is also included but not pictured. I've got some hard rubber shock cushions under the base of the mirrors to give a better rearward view than looking at your elbows. Also have a ram mount off the mirror bolt hole on the clutch side. Playing / commuting will return around the low-mid 30's gas mileage & have netted about 250 miles from a tankful during weekend trips.  Can send better pics if requested.       Bike is located about 1/2 hr. n. of Toledo

    Will discuss pricing w/ serious inquiries.... still riding / enjoying the bike, not going to give it away.... Not looking to trade for anything either.... Looking to regain garage space due to another purchase!

  8. Who knows Detroit?

    Yep, Oak Park...forget it   I live about 25 miles southwest of there & only venture THROUGH the area 3-4 times a yr..to visit the mid-week bike nites in Royal Oak,  another neighboring city just to the north. wednesday nite is cruisers / thursday nite is for sport bikes, Main st., lots of places to sit, eat & enjoy the eye candy

    Ferndale, if you're looking at INside of the city limits....maybe....http://ferndalemi.areaconnect.com/statistics.htm   http://www.zillow.com/ferndale-mi-48220/home-values/

    Pleasant Ridge(borders Ferndale to the north) is another alternative.....http://censusviewer.com/city/MI/Pleasant%20Ridge   http://www.zillow.com/pleasant-ridge-mi/home-values/

     

  9. Bladensburg area info

    in Dumpster

    Posted

    While out-n-about on an overnighter in the Mt Vernon / Coshocton area, the wife & I drove past a farm shop on Rt541 about a mile east of Bladensburg w/ an amazing assortment of hit-n-miss motors on the property. Does any of you have any info on this place:

  21. 2015 Epic Ride Spring Organization & Inputs

    in Events

    Posted

    While I have yet to make it to one of your epic rides.....yet..... I have had the misfortune of having to do the slow shuffle thru Zanesville a time or two & find the traffic congestion to be a bit unnerving..... Not conducive to navigating a group of riders at certain times....

    What I'd suggest is to meet up at the Coshocton Walmart parking lot next to the Burger King / Murphy gas station: http://goo.gl/maps/pQg8H

     

    Kind of a central localle for those riding down from the north shore or from the west side using this distance mapping software: http://www.freemaptools.com/radius-around-point.htm?clat=40.297&clng=-81.851&r=193.12128007376305&lc=0000FF&lw=2&fc=00FF00

     

    Also it's easy access to Rt83 south to the other routes listed

     

    Another meeting spot a tad bit closer to the west side riders would be the Mt.Vernon Kroger parking lot on US36: http://goo.gl/maps/hWHDY
