all right lets beat the weather, thats the only way to live to ride and ride to live in ohio i guess

the main issue the road is not dry yet

yep, looks dark, temp 65 only, the 75 was some other place the stupid phone picked up. this would be tuff ride to pull off, i am still game if others are in as well. whats the worse that can happen, we get wet

Man.

Clear here, matter of fact it's 75 , hope to riding gods it stays this way

sure, if its not raining we will be riding most prolly as well, it would take us about 45 mins to reach the 212 542 meet spot. so based on when we start we will let u know, if u can text me ur number well and good. my number PS: its still dayum raining outside three-three-zero-five-zero-six-9658

when we get most response from fellow riders... its raining, dayum..., was hoping to meet and ride with some of you guys,

hahahah, i guess in ohio, if weather doesnt cooperate, we co-operate to make things happen. Lets make things simple, if its still raining by 9:00 lets call it off, If not lets do it. If it clears up good enough later towards the day i will try to go out prolly same route or partial one.

ah, put it up in ravenna to hit 542 which was freshly paved, or else bolivar is a usual place place we meet. u can of course join up midway like gear man, we can meet where 212 meets end of 542, its a straight ride down 212 from bolivar.

sorry ido, no where near Shall we postpone the meet time to 11:30 since radar predicts clearing up from 11 00 to 6 00 with chance of shower only like 10% , i thought that would be more ideal than just calling off the whole ride? will post pone the ride only when confirmed by expectant riders, btw gearman we will meet up with u near 44 -153 bp gas station in louiseville? time based on when we start from here, my mob is three-three-zero-five-zero-six-9658

I feel it's more crappy towards extreme zones, I set out to ride from yt today towards astabula co it was clear here and by the time I reached niles I was soaking wet, all my gear is soggy, if weather is too cold I don't know how would I manage, I am still not used to cold.

I been trying to better one thing at a time, that why I did not change the gears much, just kept it at low when the curve frequency increased and just focused on form, been doin that the last two rides and never tried to move fast intentionally but i only realized I was doing good pace when others who rode with me said so, so I guess that means much more comfortable cornering I guess, anyways miles to go before we become good, And yea we need an or noob track day,

I was following the weather, shower was 50% for tomorrow in Ravenna when I checked it today morning, but now it came down to 30% so I am guessing the thing is sorta moving away, well let's hope for the best, and the showers chance comes down to 10% by noon. If it's cloudy we can even stretch the time to 2 hours later since the ride is pretty short.

gooood, Means more new riders for the video, at this rate by the end of this season i might have clips of most neo riders for a compilation video tomorrow dont mind me walking around with the camera i am quite positive its gonna clear up tomorrow, and hopefully all of u guys will come out

awesome work, if those who made this are not professionals millions props to them for accomplishing this.

So if I go, I sign up for instruction group, go there early , remove my mirror and may be fender unit too, then use painter tape for the signal and head light and speedometer, then wait for the group meet and start, right, How long will I get to be on track as an inst group? How do things proceed from there? Thx for all the tips guys the carry home message u guys subtly gave me is " go the f to the track and learn to ride Newby" lol which I think is very true, it's just my social phobia plus tightwad preventing me from doing so, but am seriously thinking about it, and might venture too, if only there were other starters for company. Mike look for stuff in craiglist, sia got almost complete one for good deal, buy one at a time so it doesn't overwhelm you.

sure, only thing is u will have to switch it on and off like every 8-10 mins, thats how i keep the clips smaller to help edit. Me to will be solo and brisk, hope the damn rain stops

Too much twisty for me to two up can we try 2 up trip next saturday, I have a decent route for that?

Check in Nice nice new riders to meet, fresh subject for next video I guess the final call can only be made tomorrow am based on forecast and clouds, if it's cloudy as of 8 :45 we will move towards cancellation, if it's clearing up we can even ride by 10:30ish even 11:00 for all it's worth it

do they have the bike renting options as well?, if unfortunately we end up dropping such a bike what kinda consequences are there?

i really, really want to try the track days, been trying to read up on stuff, still kinda feel too nooby for that, and no idea where to start actually, looking through the threads now.

Prolly this would have been discussed here thousand times, and i could very well use the search function or even read from internet, but it always help a lot to get a sort of different perspective in forum when u open the discussion, sort of personal advice pep up so here it goes, with a brief boring history, Been riding for about 15 years i india, but entirely different bikes, different roads and conditions. There are all these small small shops in every corner which fix your bike for next to nothing and hence almost no one works on their bike themself, hence tech nooby as well. so i consider myself entirely new to riding here. First day of group ride: riding like in india always in top gear to conserve fuel , try to be faster to catch up with group, ended up going into guard rail: lesson learned: ride your own ride. Second day of group ride: riding slow but still braking a lot, got an earful from U Punk. Lesson learned: ride in lowest of gear with no use of brake and only engine brake, was scared stiff seeing a guy crash and decided needed full gear before anything. Third day of group ride: Progressed from 2nd gear to 3rd gear cornering, much more comfortable as i have new boots. Lesson learned :always need adequate tire pressure, was wobbling till then i never realized it was the tire pressure until armith check it Fourth group ride: trying body position to help tide over the fear for leaning, and it seemed to be working a lot. Significantly faster and comfortable around corners with new tires, new style and fulll gear confidence. Still having a bad line I rode almost 3000 miles in the new bike, of that only may be 600 miles of less will be twisty, and i gain some confidence and knowledge only through group rides it seems. After all the blah blah blah, u guys have an idea what i am doing, now the question, Am i doing the right thing, IS body position, line or lean that i should try to get right the first? I feel comfortable hanging of the bike a bit than try to force a major lean. The line that we see people advice in tracks is it the same way we follow in street as well? I still dont have the feel for "flicking: into the corner? is it some thing that can be practiced in anyway? What gear do u guys usually tackle the corner, for eg 20 mph, & 30 mph corners? is there a reference speed like 10mps above speed limit etc etc to judge urself? Holy crap what huge wall of text ,, gonna stop the ramble now.

Have a Safe ride guys, bad it's good that you are able to laff and say u ride at the rear, that shows u don't have dangerous ego which makes many people blind and not able to think & ride safe.

By 2 o'clock u can be back home with a huge grin on ur face
