There is not enough hunger in this country.

The poor have it too easy.  They are well

paid to not work, and to continue to not

work.  They are provided clothing and

shelter.  They are given one or more cell

phones. 

Hunger is a good motivator.  It causes

people to be creative.  It gives them an

incentive to achieve, to succeed.  It inspires

them to instill in their children a reason to

be successful and to have a better life. 

Plant a person in your basement, give them

a cell phone, meals, electricity, hot and cold

running water, and some spending money.

Then, send them out to get a job.  What's

their incentive?  They have it easy.  Their

needs have been taken care of. 

Hunger is a good motivator.  There are not

enough hungry in this country.

Seeing as I've never been on these roads I will have

to take a less responsible role. I'm in though. Is there

a thread for the guys coming down from the pony this

year?? Or are we all just pm'ing ZxHooligan?

No worries, Goose.

Leads and sweep riders, raise your hand.

There's a need for more than what is

currently listed.  Who has the skills to be

up to the task?  This is your chance to

step up to the plate and take a position

of leadership among your peers.  Who's up?

We have a list of 55 riders among the

follow skill levels.

Fast

Medium-Fast

Medium

Slow

Cruiser and heavy touring

This means we need at least 5 Leads and 5 Sweeps.

Step up.  Step up.  Step up.

Me and some friends are meeting in Logan, Ohio on May 17th, for a big ride through

some twisted roads in the lower part of the state and we welcome you to join us.

Last May, there were around 70 riders that showed up from all over Ohio, some from

Michigan, and at least one from Indianapolis.  This ride is a big deal for the OhioRider

community.  You don't want to miss this if you can help it. 

Read the details here:  http://ohioriders.net/index.php?/topic/103963-unofficial-spring-2014-epic-ride-may-17th/

Hope to see you there.

.

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.

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?

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.
