OR family, will need your help with sale. Please keep an eye out for some one looking to get into sport touring. FJR to be exact. Bike belonged to Jerry, those who knew him and how he takes care of his bike will buy the bike eyes closed no second thought. Jerry's wife is trying to clear the garage slowly. They don't ever plan to sell the gold wing, vstrom his daughter is going to adopt. The beautiful red Honda super hawk might be on the chopping block later on. But for now sure the fjr will be for sale, I will post up a new thread with pics and all details later. Just wanted to give a heads up so folks can keep an eye out and help his family with a quick and fair sale.

Missed you Dan, I was there early. When lots of family and friends started filling up I sort of escaped. Dori is a strong woman. 48yrs they been together. Must be so hard to live on.

Saw "him" and family at ER. They are really sad but not shattered I guess since they were mentally prepping for this for some time. He was just skin and bones didn't want to remember him that way. Just want to remember him as the old guy with big guy strength who worked hard and did heavy work till the day of retirement. Physically invincible and mentally fragile because he was too nice and kind. In a way we can be at peace I guess since he won't suffer any more. I was silently pushing him and family to stop chemo long ago coz to me it seemed it was killing him faster and affecting his quality of life. But there was no right or wrong answers in this scenario. I was hoping to trailer his vstrom to gap this year. Had the off days all squared away. Plan was one small trip trailer to WV 16 and if it goes well trailer to gap come June. Thought he would get at least one good summer ahead of him. Motorcycling won't be same any more riding without him and sort of watching over. May be he will continue to watch over

With a very heavy heart I have to post this here. Jerry's daughter just gave me a call, the worst call I was hoping not to get anytime soon. Jerry passed away earlier today. He was not doing too well recently I was worried this might happen sooner or later. But in between he would have good days and in fact couple of weeks ago we were hoping to make it to the neo meet tomorrow. But he was getting too weak and suffering too much too. Everything happened fast, He collapsed earlier at home and ems took to hospital but it was too late already as per his daughter who is an RN as well. Will keep you all posted as to further services etc

Zx 14r - prolly got it for a whooping deal

If it's in the affordable sport bike range price I be getting one since I been following talks about the tech driving behind it for some time. This will be safer and deliver the same sensation of riding and I am quite sure in capable hands outside most bikes and riders. Now like everything evolution brings people will be thrashing it, abs, traction control wheelie control etc etc, as years go by it just becomes the norm. Is it killing pure soul of motorcycling, very well it could be. But I don't think any one in their right mind would want to ride the old school widow maker race bikes and would rather have fun and go back to family. This bike may not be perfect next step, but logical next step to make motorcycling safer. Motorcycling is not defined by the brand, the engine, the suspension etc etc. this bike might prove that it doesn't even have to be on 2 wheels. it's just a feeling, and as long as it's not affected by a technology advance that adds another dimension of wheel for superior grip and not kill it. I would take it. You know in winter you will be riding in your mind just enjoying that swaying gliding winding fluidly speeding through twisties. Wind on your face, sensation of speed raw, adrenaline kicking, tipping in and out and seeing everything around you and being part of it, rather than being separated from it by being inside a cage. Travel a lot and enjoy the company, mates, journey and destination. This can deliver it safely. That's all motorcycling feeling to me is. Still got lean angle 45 but with nearly twice the grip and will be fun to drift through the gap. Will be easier and safer to tackle fire roads. Back end looks like any fz 9 and will take bags easy and front end narrower than a tourer. Cruise control upright and sitting back, slabs won't be bad either. They did not spice it up with fancy stuff to keep cost low, but still if north of 20k I would skip for used ones to pop up. If in 15k range sign me up for early adoption just to be part of evolution.

And don't forget the freaking helmet, driving and forth sux

With the way people are driving in this weather I gonnna be set back by 1:20ish

It's Today

True that, but I would say ur priority is justified. It's a once in a life time trip. but I am really excited. First time for me on a real kart and track.

Will be awesome to see all the old boys Dan around 1pm on Friday is pretty less crowded as per google by 3 it starts to pick up. hope you can make it there even if little late. Ed, Comparing rates around, this seems like a fair price for high quality electric karts in a good rig.

As of now looks like John, pauly and Timmy might be able to make it as well. Will be nice to meet all and ride together for a chance to purge the urge for speed without raging and barging into oncoming traffic.

I will also try to make it if I am able to get out in time. Will only know on the day. Hit the hivoltage gokart track before or after dinner?

Hahaha sorry but its okay Andy usually when it comes to trend setting you guys are south of us

Monthly NEO meet and greet should be in a go kart place. Like High voltage indoor in Medina on weekdays later evening like 7ish and thus avoid crappy crowd. @Tonik @ricer1 @DerekClouser throttlelock needs material for winter time

I literally guessed it even before you posted u been dreaming and yearning for that 790 forever They are, 2019 prolly. Will be the right compromise for what you have in mind.

dang, cant find it. is it this one you are referring to >Rep87@ohiohouse.gov

dayum. forgot to post this up last night, i guess you dont need this any more since you typed up the necessary stuff already. But i will go ahead and post up since i wasted few hours lol Noise induced hearing loss is a significant cause for hearing impairment in adults. The 2016 National Academies of Sciences reported nearly one in four adults (24%) had audiometric notches, suggesting a high prevalence of noise-induced hearing loss. Noise-induced hearing loss is one of the underestimated consequences motorcyclist suffer from while enjoying this hobby. Contrary to the usual belief the major contributor to the noise exposure is wind turbulence developing around the ears and not the actual engine or exhaust noises. The amount of turbulence and hence the noise exposure can vary from type of motorcycle, wind protection it offers and above all the type of helmet the rider uses. Despite these several factors, even inside the best full face helmet the noise level can reach up to 110 to 115db at speeds ranging from 35mph to highway speeds. To put this into perspective this level of exposure should be compared to well-studied recommendations from United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Accordingly a time-weighted average exposure greater than 85 dB must be enrolled in a hearing conservation program and provided hearing protection. And exposure values greater than 90 dB (comparable to power lawn mower), may only be exposed to eight hours, values at 95 dB only for four hours and levels of 100 dB only for less than 2 hours. Based on the chart from this recommendation the average noise exposure faced by a rider which is around 110dB can lead to hearing loss if exposed for more than just 15 mins. The counter argument usually raised against wearing earplugs is poor reaction towards essential road noises like car horns and emergency vehicles. But the physics behind sounds waves and human physiology like air conduction and bone conduction etc dictate that these sounds can easily be perceived by a rider wearing common ear plugs. If subjective opinion counts and taken into account we can almost guarantee that not even one negative experience to share or an opinion against using them despite million of miles and hours of earplug usage among the riders.

will send it tonight

You are asking a extreme social phobic strange frightened animal to come to a room full of strangers. Dayuuuummmmm i can help with input and tweaks and opinions and everything from behind the screen. Just a regular arm chair keyboard revolutionary

Waiting for 'you know who' to claim responsibility.
