The turbo makes me nervous.  I knew a guy who kept killing turbos in his GTI.  My brother also had one for several years.  Sold it relatively recently.  I'll have to ask him how it did...

Was his GTI stock or did he have a tune or something done to it?  Granted I bought mine new, but have had it for a little more than 2 years without any issues.  I'd love to flash a tune on the ECU but am hesitant to do so because I can't afford to void my warranty.

It's just hard to find well-optioned cars with a manual transmission, unless you jump up in price and performance to Mustangs and 350Zs.

VW GTI.... 6-speed manual and well optioned, plus 4 doors, unlike those mustangs and 350s.  

These are awesome.  I went with a friend to a demo day, but didn't drive it, it was a blast to ride in it, like taking a go-cart out on the street.  And the traction control may have been turned off for our test ride... 

I'll go with you @Tonik

Yup. I'm parking my truck near the site I grabbed. I have my tent, another person's 4 person tent, and 2 smaller single tents going on the 10'x30' plot so far.

 

I called MotoAmerica today since they are responsible for all of this. If you buy a camping spot, you don't need a parking pass. But like Tracy said, only 1 support vehicle per camp site.

Sounds like a lot of tents....  Lol

I need to figure out what I'm doing so I can get tickets and/or a camping spot.

It's got "dry camping" listed along with RV parking on the site where you purchase tickets...  It doesn't look like there are restrictions on number of tents, but limited to one vehicle per campsite???

I want to go, but haven't made any plans yet...  where are you camping?

Yep, I got White, Red and Black.  No pink, sorry.

Thanks goodness... wait, I mean, aw dang it!  

@Tonik  Are you bringing OR stickers too?  

I need one for the Monster and the one on the GTI is starting to peel, probably from driving too fast.  A red one and a white one if you've got'em.

Change of plans guys --- I'm joining the HATE parade for the ride down...

Its technically in Parma. On Broadview half mile north of Pleasant Valley by the Giant Eagle.

I live near Broadview & Brookpark so it's right down the road from me.  Plus, who doesn't want to escort the donut truck to the epic ride...

I'll see what I can do 

Oh no...  my bank account can't afford your success with this...

Make sure it's men's tall gear as long as you're looking into it.  lol

Leaving the Dunkin Donuts in Seven Hills at 6:30.  77 to 585 to Wooster Minit Mart. Quick stop there, then down 83.  Quick stop in New Concord then into McConnelsville.

Hmmm, I'm thinking of meeting you in Seven Hills since I'm right up Broadview and then I wouldn't have to leave at 6am to ride to Wooster alone... plus I could sleep slightly later...

Ew...  lol

Given that 80% of my gear is men's, my only option is to wait until they start making pink gear for men...  #tallgirlproblems 

Just now, Tonik said:

That is where I was going with that.

Maybe I just need to buy all new gear in all pink, and paint my bike pink...  hahaha

Just now, Tonik said:

No the whole helmet.

Pink helmet?  Never!!!

Although with a pink helmet, I wouldn't have random guys telling me "nice bike bro"  

2 minutes ago, Tonik said:

Should have bought the pink one.

A pink bow?  Nah, that's too girly for me...  lol

But her new passport has the photo with the old helmet. This could lead to trouble.

Hahaha....

and if it fits, I'm going to need a new bow to put on it too...

Who else needs one? Thanks for being a good sport Tracy. 

Yeah, yeah, yeah... just take all my hard earned money...

Will use the same size chart but different shell of course so will fit a touch differently. We do offer exchanges/returns. You are basically running out of reasons to say no. 

You suck - I mean that in the nicest way possible.  

How long will these be on sale - probably until you run out of stock?  My RF1200 is good for another year and a half so I don't HAVE to get a new lid yet...

Any chance the price will drop more???

It's older than it looks.

hahahaha, good one  

5 minutes ago, RidersDiscount said:

I know right? The helmet was basically made for people like you with naked bikes so noise will be limited and very good airflow. 

Well geez, it figures...  how is the fit compared to the RF1200?  I was getting pressure on my forehead in the 1200 but was able to resolve it.

And now I need to check to see how old my 1200 is because for the life of me I can't remember.

It's pretty sweet, I understand about the transitions though. Still saying you should buy one though. 

Ugh, such a bad influence... ?

How is noise when riding a naked bike? And my bike spending has skyrocketed to prepare for an upcoming moto trip... ?

I'm not gonna lie, I love the white version of this helmet, but I've already got an RF1200 which can't be beat because of my transitions visor...

It was nice to see you guys last night, I'm sad that I missed Jim and his wife... 

See you guys Saturday!

I bought a Sena 3S from @RidersDiscount and it works excellent for music and navigation. It's also a very small profile and doesn't look like your helmet has a tick. 

I have the 3S also and think it's great... mostly bc it doesn't let you pair it with everyone bc I hate talking to people; I'd rather karaoke in my helmet when I'm riding instead.
