Yea as timmy said, going back to school again. I actually completed 2 yrs of fellowship already in Michigan before i moved back to ohio. This can be sort of consider as super fellowship again. Your right Timmy, its life long. I am not even sure when enough is enough, started med school back in 1999 - since then in some form of way i been involved with studying and training till 2015. At this rate i be dead before i get to earn some from the knowledge i gained @durk and things were starting to get really good for us extreme east end folks. With you @Skinny guy plus two more great riders i met around this area thee was always a good mix of people to ride with, plus the tracks close by. Sure going to miss it. @snot @Helmutt i forgot to tell you guys, i am not that active in FB but one day saw pics of you guys ripping apart the cross fit thing. Now i realize why you guys not active here and not riding much, good for you guys. I felt inspired and went and joined a local gym lol Now when ever i am going through insomnia and not sleeping at 3 am i go straight there and have the gym all to myself haha . Yes i know i am at the pinnacle of stupid choices and unhealthy lifestyle after 16 yrs of medical education

going to be a fellow again most likely for another year, so wont be able to afford big places and stuff. Likely small apartment close to university kinda deal . But in future if i ever settle down close to the smokies i promise to have enough space and place to host the OR gap trip from there

There is a very distinct possibility I be moving by April may of next year 😑 if stuff line up as expected might be moving to Raleigh NC or it’s close suburbs as of now. Nothing set in stone yet. OR family will be what I miss most in Ohio, but life goes on I guess

biggest strength and same time weakness of EV is the rapid pace of evolution. What used to be cutting edge 5 yrs ago is looking obsolete now. Just like all all electronic products thats almost hitting 90% depreciation and filling up dumpsters. But it will be a major hit to consumer to have such a high priced vehicle to undergo same depreciation and loss in value and hence less people buying into EVs. solution is sort of affordable renting/ leasing vehicles from manufactures and the vehicles going back to mfg for recycle and updates. regarding infrastructure again its going to become standardized sooner or later, then the pace of development will be exponential. like different adapters of mobile phone plugging into uniform outlet, EVs will have different adapters for uniform charging stations. 10 yrs is a good bet.

haha perfect example. if the Aztec was a 500+hp beast people wouldnt be hating in it as much as it receives now. If this car was munching down corvettes and camaros of its generation despite looking like a big block of melting icecube, the opinion we carry about aztec and its looks would be different. haha nah, dont misunderstand the statement. I am not against the looks / for me first is performance / functional status/ bang for buck etc and looks i like is an added icing on the cake. Vstrom was considered ugly but still my all time favorite bike. the civic is considered immature and ricey by vast majority esp if driven by older owners, still my favorite.

i love it, might get one in distant future. then again i am the odd one who loved the old versys and current nikken as well. I like functional out of ordinary designs. This truck even though people make fun of it looks etc, i bet will grow on you. Because "looks" are subjective, its a thought process triggered in each persons brain based on years of social conditioning from opinion facts, imagery that been accumulated over the years. And that "looks" " design" thing keep changing slowly over decades. imagine releasing the new corvette design in 1980, there would have been a riot. As of now we are trained to think a truck "SHOULD" look like one way and it should have this shape to be strong and macho. But as time goes by the opinion is going to change about this truck. The marketing team would ensure that by slowly releasing videos and facts tied up to this that will condition out brain. like this truck tug of war destroying the classic "macho big rig trucks" or this huge truck obliterating smaller sports cars in drag strips. and in couple of years, As soon as we see this in person, the thought that will be triggered will be massive power speed and performance. hopefully this forum and this thread is alive in 2025 for us to revisit and for me to post a smiley face to say "i told you so" regarding infrastructure, its going to change and change fast. This is evolution no one can stop it. EV is on the way up / Gas is on the way down. Having said that 10 years seems like a reasonable estimate to be honest for them to comparable, as in someone to go buy a Ev without even thinking twice about worry of being stranded, location for charging and distance etc. Right now and in near future, its still viable and reasonable as long as little bit of planning and patience is involved. disclaimer:I dont own EV / still love my gas guzzlers / not a fan boy of tesla/ just accepting the fact and proud of human evolution even though we gonna be extinct by our own progress/ regress/ and deeds in future.

Please post up a sample email you guys been sending, wonder if I am typing too much or too little and informal

I was referring to the overall active folks in here. There are about 10-15 active Old school peeps that put down miles regularly and hardly any new incoming.

Yes motorcycling is dying for sure, just look at this place.

This will very well be the Elusive one bike solution, I have a feeling duck and cow is gonna sit in the shed for longer duration next season.

No way I am buying it new so no worries, hehe only reason I had my eye on it was because of the safety package it carries. Not many small bikes coming out with that these days except this and duke. And not yet committed to track only state at best I see is 4-5 track days a season that’s it. So no dedicated bike trailer warmer generator package yet

Sexy bikes, will be some eye candy to look at while passing them on the side of the road unlike the Older classic HD models.

If priced right It’s gonna be a sweet bike for the streets. or even this if considering occasional track duty https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/2019/11/05/2020-aprilia-rs-660-first-look-10-fast-facts/

i have a feeling kawi bought in the SC on 1k cc > h2 sx to slowly infringe on the customer base of their own connie and FJR. Wonder what if they could squeeze in a SC into the 1300 cc engines and make a goldwing killer

it will become standard feature pretty soon just like abs, right now they just saving some money plus treating it as a bling bling feature. By 2021 or so cruise will become standard for most street bikes, by then adaptive cruise and radar will be the bling bling. By 2020 bikes are going to hit the floor with radars and stuff.

Exactly Vfr 1200x still sits . don’t get me wrong these are good machines but the times are golden in motorcycling world and simply good doesn’t cut any more, great bikes are available at same price. This is the first one where pound to pound Honda made something that matches or exceeds the competition. if pricing is right it’s gonna be a hit. the only place where Honda runs away with success is the gold wing area where they just don’t have any viable comparable competition I think.

Not released yet I think.

Finally Honda decided to conform to the market and not be stubborn and keep making stuff according to their whims and fancy. now this bike again will be a failure if they gonna slap on 18+ price range To it.

This forum needs another 2talltom or 2tallharry or something.

One thing is with Harley you don’t have to waste much money on gear. Gosh darn... Forgot the merchs Bur starter kit is pretty cheap

Lots of chassis in the closet in this motorcycle forum. People need to be more honest and open up. 😂

Chat topic changed to 0-60 times from torque number rocket 3 left the group Ls2 18 entered the chat

Rocket 3 entered the chat. everyone / absolutely everyone else left 163 hp is nothing these day.... nope that’s the torque number ... ohhhh okay

Awesome, dibs on this bike when your going to upgrade to something else

Happy birthday
