Not sure about N2's novice regiment, but were there any CR's mediating smaller groups of riders at all, or is it free-for-all sessions all day long? Are there instructional sessions between track time, teaching any sort of skills/techniques? STT and MidO do a great job schooling new riders and controlling pace among groups divided by skillset, so does N2 NOT do the same? If no, then they desperately need to adopt the policies the other org's follow or they wont last. Sadly, after the disclaimer is signed there probably isn't much can be done about shit like this, is there? I dont recall ever reading anything on one that explains damage responsibilities of the staff with shitty track etiquette. In the vid the CR appeared to simply push a bad position, when he should've known better of anyone else out there, intermediate or not. An experienced CR is able to see what line you're taking and know how to stay clear of your line to keep a pass safe, or withhold the pass until it is safe to do so. Looked to me like that guy barely took position and expected the rider to checkup to let him by N2 definitely looks to be a pisspoor outfit from what I'm reading here.

Looks like good asphalt, never been there myself but have to look it up and scope it out. Diggin' that long tunnel too, cool ride

Tap may clean it up, but worst case I'd wager you'd need to yank the clutch and gears to drill/tap/helicoil it back to oem. Sucks man, hate it when a simple enough task turns to shit in her hands. Good luck

Props to Nivin and Derek for taking the Epic ride to the next level. I agree with Casper though, dont chance it and risk yourself in case some doucher decides to sue. Cover your ass the right way so you'll stay protected. At least you've captured the web domain, now just get your ducks in order so the idea can expand through the website

What she said....maybe....or down payment on a new truck, get a Toyhauler, and 2 years worth of tracktime!

Well over 30 bikes in Intermediate too. Good sized groups and great weather. Good to meet lowcel finally. Lookin good out there for being your first year with the track addiciton, you're surely progressing faster than I am. And good to chat with a familiar face, DesmoBrian. Btw, you tore that track a new one in the after lunch A session. You had to have been the fastest guy there today.....must have felt much better after the tire swap eh? Also appreciate the tows my wife got from a few CR's. Big props to the MidO crew, as usual it was a good time

Congrats Sam, AWD is the way to go in a car with Ohio winters.

Sharp ride, where was the shot of the bike taken? Looks like a cool locale to take pics

Take this deal YZ250, I use a guy local to me that charges the same - cant beat this deal at any dealer. Even if gas costs you $20, you're still winning

Not sure where Middleburg Hts is, but the average cost to swap tires ( if you take them off the bike ) I've found at dealerships around me is about $80 otd. That should be to mount/balance/new valve stems/old tire disposal/tax

My Dad drank bottled Blatz while I was growing up. So around age 6 or more when I was sent to the fridge to fetch him one, I'd always snooker a swig or 2 if I could twist the cap off before I handed it to him. Just one of our cool little father/son moments back then. Got old enough to actually drink and tried to wrap my head around how he stomached that slop for years, nasty imo. I tried domestics, Coors was an early favorite until I opened my palette and began craft sampling. There's not many a beer I wont drink other than Guinness, that is some heavy knife and fork brew - I dont dig it at all, although I've heard it's vastly different overseas from the tap. Bud and Natural are equally crappy to me, but I could see where guys on a budget, or those who slam a dozen a day, would favor it. Everyone is different, and have varying tastes/preferences.....but if you shun away from craft sampling, you are truly missing out fellas. Do yourself a favor and at least try other brews, there are thousands of recipes out there that better represent the true heritage of beer.

Sorry, but aren't there CNG tanks for home use? We've been servicing CNG trucks for over a year now, so I just assumed the technology already existed to tank it to your home. Carry on I'd go propane over electric if geo isn't in the budget, could always electric space heat along side propane/wood burn

NG ftw

Yeah, blue SV is what I remember you riding a few years ago too. Welcome back

If the facility is open, then I'd assume they would be. Todd or another may know for sure and chime in, or you could always call them during business hours to verify

I'd say it's a judgement call on your part. Weigh out the pro's/con's and ask yourself how the relationship has made your life better. Otherwise....see below

Go with the 6-car garage find. Our house has a 3-car, told myself it would take years to fill it....less than a year later I was wanting to add on a 2-car garage. You can NEVER have too much garage

Nice work and props to Kari!

Agreed. But at least be a manly gay by only knocking out some of my teeth to play red rocket russian roulette....aka, Kentucky chomp.

I was raised to react to violence through superior violent acts, so just consider me a biter

"TRY" is the keyword my post was lacking.....TRY to suck start that bike. But even if I could slurp a house through a coffee straw, once we're married you do know that woud instantly stop, right?

Yummy. It surely smells delicious going down the road. My neighbor used to get fry oil to make bio for his Powerstroke, loved it when he drove down the alley.....smelled exactly like frenchfries. Now they need to make hemp oil bio so we can all take turns suck starting that bike
