I've never attended one of these..how long does the ride usually last?

Saw there's was no lunch breaks. Just curious if ill need to pack food

with me or not. (Usually eat every 2-4hrs)

Check out this thread from the guys meeting at Iron Pony.

Last year they buzzed down US-33 E.  Send ZxHooligan a

PM if you want to link up with them when they cruise by,

unless you just want to meet us all in Logan.

Eat something before you leave home.  We don't stop

for meals.  I always carry some beef jerky, trail mix, and

Gatorade on the road.  Some of us are dining together 

after the ride.  Don't know where yet.  All are welcome

to join us.  See you then.

calling.... Jack Flash

I know.  I know.

That's a cool floodwall you have down there.

I checked it out last summer.  Watch the posts.

Some ride in N. Ky.

A community of riders who eat their own.

Welcome to the herd.  You belong here.

And as if it ever really mattered,

I did find a parts list that shows

a GSX1300RAL3 (2013) as having

a "stay" for $12.33 USD.

Details here.

Ok ok BMV. Y'all knew

what I meant to type out!

    We're required by the rules of the forum

to razz the shit out of anyone that doesn't cross

all their t's and dot all their i's for the first two

years.

You are also required to give back as much crap

as what is dished out to you.  You found a home

here among friends.

It's way past time for a bloody

revolution in this country.

Dealer puts a Temporary Tag on for you.

You have 30 days to register at the BMV ( )

where you get your regular tags.

Here's another one.  I had just fueled up. 

I saddled up and cruised off.  I kept feeling

something rubbing against my back.  I stopped

because I couldn't figure it out and it started

bugging me.  I discovered it was my tank bag

sitting on top of my trunk bag.  I always put it

there when I fill up.  I forgot to put it back on

the tank.  It's a good thing it didn't fall off.

.

This is what you want.  For fifty US dollars you can't

beat it.  The Basic Riders Course is what to sign up

for.  Some people take it every year just to brush up

after those long Ohio winters.

Hope to see you somewhere on the road.

.

I'll likely do a pre-ride ride before the event.

I'll post a thread in case anyone would like

to join me.  Still deciding when.  Don't have

details yet.

.

One hot summer day I pulled into a shady parking area

for a little stretch.  I carefully backed into a parking spot

then enjoyed the cool shade while sending a few last

minute texts.  Finally I went to step off the bike and leaned

it onto the kickstand, the one that wasn't down yet.

Trying to right the bike while still sitting on it, with only

one leg, while it continued it's slow descent, was just a bit

more than I was prepared for. 

I gently laid it down, and quickly snatched it back up

before anyone could see.  There was a car parked a half

dozen spaces away but the guy never noticed.  I walked off

as if it hadn't occured.

.

.

It won't let me post the parts diagram.  The part number is the same for each item.

.

 He left me a voicemail stating that the Hayabusa DOES

come with a tank prop (a 10" rod) that goes in the tail.

These are from 2012, but could they be the same?

2012 Suzuki Hayabusa (GSX1300R) OEM Parts

Item # 23 possibly? (E03)

...and here, item # 23? (E28)

...or how about here, item # 23? (E33)

They didn't have a list for the 2013 posted yet.

.

Just a little feedback from a PM between me and another rider from last year.

Perhaps a few adjustments should be considered.

Me:  How did you feel about the organization of the ride, when
everything was getting started? Any suggestions or
changes you would make?

How did things go at the fuel stop? Was it a ball of
confusion or a mass of congestion? Give me some
feedback, if you don't mind.  

Not Me:  There are a few things that were confusing.

Maybe next time some signage at the meet point to

get everyone grouped when they roll in. Fast, Med.

etc.

Our leader was great but almost got us going the

wrong way. So maybe a map for each leader/sweep.

We stopped right away after we started the ride for

gas which didn't make sense as everyone was already

filled up from the meet point.

Then we rode the rest of the ride without a stop...you

could tell the riders were getting fatigued. Doing

a lot of stretching etc. So maybe adding an extra stop

in there.

There's time to review the after-ride comments from previous events in

order to fine tune future events.  It's seems a few things should be considered

not just from this one person's viewpoint but from others that were posted as

well, from last year and before.

Work is set to begin this Monday, April 14, on a project to resurface 18 miles of State Route 79 in Licking County.

It's the “fastest mouse in all Mexico" on a 'busa.

Welcome to the mad house where the

lunatics have taken over the asylum.

.

But I actually feel like people notice a bike more mid winter than in summer.

That is if they see the bike.  Until it gets warmer,

they are not expecting to see a bike and therefore

are not looking for it.  So, be extra careful because

if they happen to see you, it's not because they

were trying to.

.

Welcome to the group.

We're going on a big ride.  There were in the

neighborhood of 70 bikes from all over the

state and some from Michigan and Indiana

on the ride last May.

Here's the info:  http://ohioriders.net/index.php?/topic/103963-unofficial-spring-2014-epic-ride-may-17th/

If you want to ride down with the NE Ohio

guys, here's where you can find their info:  http://ohioriders.net/index.php?/topic/104431-epic-ride-may-17th-ne-ohio-meetup-and-ride-down/

Get in the slow group, at least for this

year, for your own safety.

See you there.

.

You will continue to be as much a part of the OhioRiders community

as you have always been.  Being bikeless is simply a passing phase.

You'll hunger for the pleasure of riding on two wheels and become

consumed by it until once again you'll find a ride you can't say no to.

.

Thanks to JackFlash for manning the grill.

...thanks to jackflash for cookin'.

It's now officially confirmed that a bunch of hungry riders

will eat absolutely anything that doesn't bite back. 

Pardon the well toasted (crusty) hotdogs.  I think we went

through four or five packs of dogs and buns, minus the two

or three buns left in the bag that little beagle grabbed and

ran off with.

I cook much better than the micro-grill would permit.

I would be pleased to do this again, and with some assistance

and support, could easily kick it up a notch to the enjoyment

of all.

.

I have the HAYNES SERVICE AND REPAIR MANUAL for this bike.

I'm willing to type verbatim straight from the manual to help you out.

It's written in the UK.  Pardon the spellings.

The fuel system consists of the fuel tank, the main fuel cock and filter,

the fuel tap, the carburettors, fuel hoses and control cables.

The main fuel cock mounted on the underside of the fuel tank incorporates

a filter which sits inside the tank.  The remote fuel tap is of the vacuum type.

Let me know if you need info.  I'll be in and out all day and available tomorrow.

PM me for Phone number if you want details researched.
