Sucks to be him. You were more up front than 90 percent of people would have been. Karma is still on your side.

By Jim Woods The Columbus Dispatch Tuesday October 25, 2011 9:20 PM A Marion man died this morning when his motorcycle crashed into the side of a trailer being pulled by a pickup near the Alum Creek Reservoir in Delaware County. David L. Grounds, 42, died at Grant Medical Center in Columbus after he was flown there by helicopter. Grounds was driving the motorcycle south on S. Old State Road just before 11 a.m. when he failed to stop at the stop sign for Cheshire Road and struck the side of a westbound truck and trailer, the State Highway Patrol. Roy G. Duffey, 54, the driver of the truck, and his passenger were not hurt, the patrol said. Grounds wore a helmet and Duffey and his passenger were wearing seat belts. The patrol is still investigating.

This is the most bad ass moto cop........ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9MVY8swO5M

Well, the route included the triple nickel, which was my first time riding it. Very fun area to ride!

One person is dead after a motorcycle and a car collided in the westbound lane of Rt. 16 east of Newark this evening. The State Highway Patrol was called at 8:26 p.m. to the intersection of Rts. 16 and 146. The driver of the motorcycle was killed in the crash. The patrol did not have details yet to release.

Pitt- I'm not sure of the route. And sorry, Ben, we've had this one planned for a while. Plus I wouldn't want to bring my chili in and win the award outright because as everyone knows, we Texans make the best chili!

As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain But that's just perfect for an Amish like me You know I shun fancy things like electricity At 4:30 in the mornin' I'm milking cows Jedediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows, fool And I've been milking and plowing so long that Even Ezekial thinks that my mind is gone I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline Got a bible in my hand and a beard on my chin But if I finish all of my chores, and you finish thine Then tonight we're going to party like it's 1699 We've been spending most our lives living in an Amish paradise I churn butter once or twice, living in an Amish paradise It's hard work and sacrifice, living in an Amish paradise We sell quilts at discount price, living in an Amish paradise A local boy kicked me in the butt last week I just smiled at him, and I turned the other cheek I really don't care, in fact I wish him well 'Cause I'll be laughin' my head off when he's burnin' in hell But I ain't never punched a tourist even if he deserved it An Amish with a 'tude, you know that's unheard of I never wear buttons, but I got a cool hat And my homies agree I really look good in black, fool If you come to visit, you'll be bored to tears We haven't even payed the phone bill in 300 years But we ain't really quaint, so please don't point and stare We're just technologically impaired There's no phone, no lights, no motorcars, not a single luxury Like Robonson Crusoe, it's as primitive as can be We've been spending most our lives living in an Amish paradise We're just plain and simple guys, living in an Amish paradise There's no time for sin and vice, living in an Amish paradise We don't fight, we all play nice, living in an Amish paradise Hitchin' up the buggy, churnin' lots of butter Raised a barn on Monday, soon I'll raise a nutter Think you're really righteous? Think you're pure in heart? Well, I know, I'm a million times as humble as thou art I'm the pioust guy the little Amletts want to be like On my knees day and night scoring points for the afterlife So don't be vain, and don't be whiney Or else my brother might have to get medieval on your hiney We've been spending most our lives living in an Amish paradise We're all crazy Mennonites, living in an Amish paradise There's no cops or traffic lights, living in an Amish paradise But you'd probably think it bites, living in an Amish paradise Yeah

About all the bike nights are winding down, but you can always hit the Arena District/North Market area for a good time.

Welcome to the madness!

Welcome!!

Did anyone else catch that a biker was killed that day? That could have been the road it happened on and officers may have been working the scene up the road. Not saying it was, but......

I give him credit for doing what some of us would love to do. Wait, that "us" doesn't include me - at all. Seriously, your honor.

Blake, not a dumb question and yes, I did let it run for about 5 minutes. Long enough to warm up without burning me. lol Bacchus, that makes me feel better. Swore I was going to get a hernia trying to get that thing off. Sucks when you don't have a bike lift.

Welcome from Hilliard as well.

When the mechanic obviously tightened your oil filter down a tad too much and it takes an army to get the damn thing off when you go to do your own oil change.
