I still might go Dak. Problem is I dont have leathers so could only ride novice. Need to drain the coolant as well and put water in.

VFR was my first bike.

I had ALOT of problems with low speed manuvers when I started. After I got going though I was ok. Going back I would have gotten something a little less top heavy.

Funny that you post this. For the exact same reasons I am going to make a thread soon putting a feeler to trade my VFR for a sportbike.

VFR is great, but I feel like I am at the limit or am close to the limit of the bike in the turns. I also want something that would be a little more fun on a track day. I would like to keep it so my wife is a little more comfy while riding, but she really only rides twice a year ish. So looking for a 600cc of some kind.

Sorry for the side track, I know where you wre coming from. Good luck.

Holy F GLWS

"Never been raced, and rode by an adult."

I didnt see this thread until now. I live about 15 minutes from Lisbon. There is a group of us from that area that ride to SE ohio where the good roads are on the weekends. You should join us one of these times.

For a nice quick ride you should head down 164 to bergholz then ride back. There are plenty of good roads in that area, 646, 164, and 9 are the ones im usually on. 

26 is awesome. Only rode on it once though.

Thanks jbot. Rhill has been texting me trying to get me to go to one for awhile now.

None taken. Moving myself on the bike was something I started trying about a month before that was taken, so alot to learn in that aspect.

Think it is 165 in up to a week in advance and 190 late. You will love it, and riding the track is fun too.

Will see what I can do to get there. I know I need to get on a track to get better and to quit being an ass on the street.

How much is it for the track day? I live about 25 minutes from the track so this would be a good venue to start on.

Just one more thing that proves we are no longer free. 

 

This.

I can maybe go. I need to bring some money for Jerry if he comes.

But my wife is leaving for vegas for work that evening so im not sure how well that would go over.

Halestorm and In this moment for females.

If you are in the mood for something a little more metal check out Gojira, or Dark Tranquility and DevilDriver. Have some good stuff as well.

At first I was all f that, why do I need a new console anyways.

Then I saw Forza was a launch title so will end up buying one.

I will check and see what all is going on that day but I should be available.

You get what you pay for and tires aren't right place to 'cheap out.'

qft

ugh... from bad to worse.

Those motards are fun to watch on the Gap too!

There was a KTM motard at the gap last week with slicks on. Guy was fast, just ask Al Z. Heimer

No love

lol

I don't think I've met anyone on OR that I didn't enjoy following. It is all about setting your own pace/riding your own ride. If you chase; no matter how experienced you are, you are increasing the chance of being sucked into a turn and ending up in a ditch.

hahaha I have more fun following you but I find I push myself a little to follow you. Which I guess is how you get better, but should probably not be done on the street.

I am just more comfortable following Jerry.

True... it would be a PITA. I keep forgetting you guys are a little further north than I am.

Hope you can make it.

I should add this would be a good ride if anyone is practicing technique or wanting tips for being smoother/quicker or just looking for group riding experience. The pace won't be 'hot' like many of the SEO rides.

Wouldnt be a bad idea to have a few SEO rides like this to get some new riders some experience. Maybe have a couple fast guys like UP sweep and give some tips.

I like following al z heimer as well. Jerry is great to learn from.

Work offered to move me to Nashville as we have an office there. But wife wont move

Glad to see you will recover.

haha sounds good Ryan
