  1. http://www.midohio.com/School/Courses/Motorcycles/Performance-Track-Riding

    Click requirements.

    Mid-Ohio is the best track around and has a good novice program.

    Ive had great experiences with Moto Series and Mid Ohio. Moto Series was a little better instructional wise but that was slightly in part of Jbot helping me out or aka OR members who are instructors willing to help. You could hit the Moto Series Putnam days which isnt too far from Dayton area.

  2. You guys make it seem way more difficult than it needs to be. Ive never adjusted anything and I have never had any problems. I havent done serious mileage but I have done 150+ miles on several occasions. Ride with what you have then if you think adjustments are necessary then make them but more or less itll deal with you as a rider unless you plan on riding very aggressive.

  3. sorry mykill too lazy to come that far, on mid week, one weekend for sure. when we start around 5 in am :D lol

    No worries. I didnt think it was feasible but I plan on making it up there for a ride at some point this year.

  4. Mykill you coming all the way from south,? I was thinking the north east region itself if just two of us, can change based on who ever is joining

    If you guys stay north east then no. If you guys come south or something maybe. Id like to be back to my place by 2. Thats why I was asking about the route. Prolly going out solo but figured worth an ask.

  5. I assume you mean the LE Monster! Yes, I was quite disappointed to wake up and see that there were none left.

    The Porch Rocker is ok but it has the same Sam Adams shit aftertaste that I don't like

    Yes Lake Erie. Wish it was year round.

    To add to the drunken thread... Had some Mikkellr Invasion Ipa, 3 Floyds Dreadnaught, and Goose Island Matilda last night. Dreadnaught is amazing if you can find it.

  6. Love that road. I wanna get back up that way soon and ride it.
    ^^you better give me a heads up so I can make that

    definitely has become an NEO favorite for me as well

    Im in if Im off work and could ride up with ya Cleve. Would like to get on a few of those Eastern rides.

  7. I straddle the bike kickstand up. She puts her foot on the peg side she is standing. Holds onto my shoulders and stand up swinging her leg to the other peg.

    I've never touched suspension and have never seen a reason to. It's really not difficult. A two up ride could be fun though.

  8. Dont over think it or give her a bunch of orders to follow the first few times. Just say hold on and look where we turn. Keep it simple and as she becomes more experienced/comfortable you can have her do more.

  9. I agree with what Magz said and tapping the leg when I get ready to take off (aka hard acceleration). Since its a short ride you shouldnt need to many signals. You will get used to her being on the back and how her movements effect your bike. I would tell her to not move around when your coming to a stop or moving at a slow speed. Small movements can catch you off guard and are multiplied when going slow.

    Overall, your not going to notice too much of a difference. Just ride like normal and try to be smooth with acceleration and braking. When you ride a more twisty roads and longer distances then more comes into play.

    Take her on a scenic ride. Freeway through the city at dusk with little traffic or along the lake or something. Ride to dinner even.

    Edit.. Our first ride was on a 250r and that was manageable but not fun. The 2 600RR's we've ridden are better but still notice her on the back. The Vstrom we test rode...I could barely tell she was there and the VFR should be about the same.

  10. Um.... not sure if you've been paying attention' date=' but my bike is no-worky. LoL...

    I'm going back on the 22nd. You should come. I'd like to see you do 1000 miles in 24 hours on that CBR. I promise to stop calling you a pussy if you do.[/quote']

    Its my weekend to work.....I can always request off....

    PM details.

  11. I remember talking inside my lid when I was following Uncle Punk. It was on 74 and on the Skyway. As he powered out of the corners' date=' and my bike was bouncing off the rev-limiter, I just kept saying, "God damn, that Honda's fast!"

    :lol:[/quote']

    When are we....

    A. Going back? Id like to hit blood mountain.... :(

    and

    B. Getting a WV ride together? :D

  12. You weren't slow shooting up TN-68' date=' following UP. After chasing him across GA-180/60 I was just too shagged to keep that hot of a pace. You were zooming, brother. Much kudos.

    :bow:[/quote']

    I was laughing the whole time. I was having a blast.

    I cant wait to ride with you guys again. Thanks for letting me tag a long.
