I'm here now. A bit early for bike night but no sense in going all the way West to home & riding back.

Damn i like that! :

I'm interested in checking out a track day. Ohio weather is interested in being...Ohio weather.

For myself the "experience" with cornering came from mountain biking. Like they've said, seat time makes a difference. I would cruise around & the mountain bike instinct would come to mind so i slowly started leaning the bike a little more in turns. Once that felt ok, next turns i would lean with it. You learn at your own pace. Once you take the MSF course you'll learn to SLaP'R. Slow, Look, Press & Roll.

My first experience after the MSF course was riding it home from a coworkers house. Death grip on the handlebars, eyes scanning like an inmate that just broke out, checking my mirrors constantly to make sure the chic was still behind me playing defense. I waited a week to hit the freeway & that feeling of being THAT close to cars going THAT fast was certainly a different "oh shit" than skydiving. Got over it pretty fast. Can't keep me off the damn thing now. If my "errand" will fit in the bookbag, I'm twisting the throttle.

+1 with Hellmutt

I'm almost a week late. If you haven't installed it already PM me the year, make & model.

I live 3 shifts from there. Too late.

some more beer

I personally prefer a .40 cal. S&W is the current carry. More affect than the 9's but better accuracy than the .45. Still easy to conceal, good mag capacity, ammo is fair priced. Hell like Jus2fst said, you'll get enough info to make your own decision pretty soon. My decision was based on: I figured i'd go with the middle option since I felt comfortable with em already.

like little buses

I ride to work everyday if it's not raining. My commute is 30 minutes all freeway or about 45 taking the streets. 40 degrees is about my limit so i can actually feel my fingers to take my helmet off when i get to work. The truck is costing alot more to fill up & the bike eases the stress of the work day before i get home.

SURE i'd love to ride at noon, but i have to work!

I wore a pair of Timberlands for the first 6 months then dropped the money for a pair of Sidi Cobra Air. I ride to/from work & with groups. You don't HAVE to spend a ton of money on riding boots but once you do you'll be glad you did.

So is this thread about qsl on wednesdays or the pub on thursdays cuz I see mixed details?

I'll be there. Would be cool to meet some people that can ride more often.

This sounds like something from a Final Destination movie.

Pretty decent turnout for the first night. Rain held off, cool crowd. The bar was actually within reach.

Somebody say Yuengling?!?!
