Exarch

Thats been my nickname ever since I can remember, I was too cheap to pay the extra $50 per year for the vanity plates, now if that was a 1 time fee I woulda been all over it lol... + his name is THE NUGE I just go by nuge or Nugent =D

Whats a stop sign? :-)

Welcome and GL

Im sure u saw him drag his foot across my seat with his dismoumt, I told him if he rips it he is buying me a new corbine seat. You should of seen him riding his friends brand new busa a couple of years ago, he bout wrecked the bike grabbing too much throttle, and comming back down wasnt very pretty either lol.

Ide be down to ride one of these weekends(even this weekend) if you dont mind driving with a noob. I havent taken my bike over 50mph(45 cornering) yet, as im still learning my limits. Also your 600 would prob leave me in the dust lol.

Feel free to hit me up @ 732-1155 text prefers cuz im always at work. Although I never answer the phone at my 1st job, my 2nd job is boring and I pretty much do whatever I feel like(browse the Web all day long on my phone)

Ahh, I see the place your talking about. Buckeyes Harley Davidson(lol I used google satellite) its right between the autobath and the Harley place im gunna ask em how long they have been there(if I remember) when I go up there Saturday to order my sliders and lowering kit.

Lol, sure you arnt drunk now?

Allstate wont insure me ;( 1 ovi 4 years back, mad speeding tickets, 1 accidents(hit and run, they said it was my.fault cuz i.didnt call the cops, when clearly I was hit from.behind and had the other cars paint all over my bumper). Oh well I pay 239 a year for full coverage so im happy they denied me although I wish I had the new car replacement they offer book value coverag pft, what am I gunna do with book vale? Buy a beater lol. I wonder if all state would ever consider insuring me, progressive wanted 490 a year full coverage for my bike, im not sure what insurance my bike has now, my dad put me on his policy to save me a couple hundred bucks a year on my bike.

Actually, I think they might be a branch of sportys Hond(fairborn) but not 100% positive on that.

Not sure, its like a 2min drive from the i75 benchwood exit(take a left at the exit, and another left on Dixie and its right there) that was the first time I ever went there. Im pretty new to the bike world, although its deff worth the trip for me even though there is a bike shop right next to my house that I refuse to go to cuz of a quoting incident that pissed me off. Guess that shop was trying to take advantage of my ignorance(being a newer rider) which backfired.

I do know the shop is pretty small though(although I didnt see the backroom that had more bikes) and I know the shop has been there for atleast a couple years, but not sure how long or what place it was before(if any)

Nah, that was my dad riding my bike. He works at lowes and he eats at waffle house everyday lol. He is gunna be sad when I get my endorsements cuz he is gunna lose bike riding privileges I told him he needs to get his own bike cuz its been like 20 years since has owned his own.

He has CP though, so im always afraid he is gunna drop my bike(which he almost did Saturday, but luckily I caught it b4 it hit the asphalt)

Actually it's not good to use back break either in a turn. Best to brake before then maintain throttle then accel out. If you need to brake in a corner or turn stand the bike up and break hard and turn back in if possible.

I know, which is why I said assuming he needs to break there could be a fallen tree branch, a large box, an accident, or some other emergency where immediate breaking is needed if there is very little time to react.

Located on north Dixie(miller lane area) is where I got all my gear from and is where I plan on ordering the rest of my aftermarkets from. They have very good customer service and have no problem taking the extra time to help you pick the right items instead of trying to sell you something you do not want. I felt absolutely no pressure to buy my items there, even after spending 30+ minutes going through the sales catalog with my sales associate. I even accidentally orderd a wrong item from them(my fault) and they happily took it back and orderd me the correct item (I didnt realize there were 2 different styles of a boot with the same exact name) they even let me know that some items were on backorder and would take a while to come in and suggested a similar item if I didnt want to wait a over a month to get some of my items(I didnt mind the wait though)

Overall my experience was superb and they have earned a new customer for life.

I'm assuming this is a question.

Upsets the suspension, transfers the weight to front tire and makes it easier to lose traction, also when you break it tends to stand the bike up which is bad in a turn.

I think it was a statement, he just forgot the comma he is telling him to use his rear breaks around the corners(assuming he needs to use breaks) instead of his front breaks.

Oh, I do go to Huber on the weekends (atleast I try to) I keep my bike up there for now(till I get my endorsement) lots of nice backroads I like to play on out there with no cops in sight =D

I wish I could do split week training. I work mon-fri 3-11pm at one job(dpl) and tues-sat Xam till 2pm and sometimes 10am-10pm on Sundays at my other job(Ncr) so its tough trying to get any day of the eeek in, now if the classes started earlier on the weekdays or started later on the weekends and I could take it over a 2 week period, or if the classes were shorter ide have no prob doing it. But 2 8hour classes and then another 2 6hour classes is very very tough to fit in my schedule. And ontop of that trying to find time to ride(other than to/from work) and spend with my 2 babies and wify lol. Days should be longer than 24hours...

Make sure to practice your left, right, and u turns on your street, also around 4k on the tach is where youll probably be at(shifting normally) unless you prefer higher RPMs, but around 4k is good, especially since you wont be accelerating fast in a 25mph zone.

I would probably be down for some paintballing(if the wify approves) out at pbc or i70 or wherever. I havent touched my gear in almost a year.

Troy/piqua is a lil out of the way for me unfortunately, im only familer with Greene/Montgomery county.

I hear you cant fail on the cones alone, so even if I were to bomb that section im still confident ill pass, although I still plan on taking motorcycle safety and basic rider after I get my endorsements for insurance purposes, althouh im not willing to take off both my jobs in a single day to do it, so I dunno when ill have the time, maybe next year.

Hey snot, ya I just found this site yesterday so I figured ide be part of a local forum to find riders and the other forum to talk about ninjas :-)

The best way to learn is hands on experience. If you can drive a stick the shifting should be a snap, just butterfly youe controls as you would in a car. The only difference is 1down is 1st 1/2 click up for neutral, full click up for second, third, 4th etc... And just click down to go into lower gears. Look where you want to go, not where you want dont wanna go(i.e. Dont look straight if your turning right) dont panic, even if you make a mistake, it just makes things worse, mistakes happen so just keep calm and focused. If your stuck in neutral or cant get into first try rocking the bike a little or letting off the clutch a littlebit(common on the ninja, its nothing you did wrong) dont grip the bars too tight, keep your elbows relaxed. umm, wear all ur gear(helmet is the law, atleast untill after you have held an endorsement for atleast 1 year) and lastly have a good, safe time riding. you should watch the captain crash 60 second lessons(or all his vids) on YouTube, they are really easy to understand and very informative. :-)

New to the forums, figured ide introduce myself. My name is Tom, but everyone just calls me Nuge I own a 250r, had it for about a month or so now. I will be getting my endorsements on the 20th(hopefully, should be easy as long as I can do the cone swerve which ive never attempted)

I would like to meet up with other riders on the weekends that live in the Dayton area/beavercreek/Huber/Kettering and anything inbetween.

I am Currently looking for someone to powder coat my rims and/or do some light airbrushing to my bike(message me if you can do this or know someone that can along with a price please)
