Glad to hear about the new bike, Brian. .

Many years ago at Lane and High, there was a Shell Station that would rent you bay time. You needed your own tools. .

You dumb shits. Meetups is good for more than just motorcycling. I just know how to find information. .

Ear plugs make my rides much more enjoyable. I can concentrate easier on riding without being bothered by the constant wind noise. .

I think by visiting some of the local motorcycle dealers and asking around, you may get more info on groups of ladies that ride, in the central Ohio area. I'm sure that many, like yourself, would be more than happy to find other women to ride with, without being in a group that included men. Another idea is to start a MeetUp group, to attract female riders. http://www.meetup.com/ Here is one group. Buckeye State Lady RidersWe are women motorcyclists who love to ride! We welcome all types of bikes, and are affiliated with the Columbus chapter of Women On Wheels® known as the Buckeye State Lady Riders. http://www.meetup.com/Buckeye-State-Lady-Riders/ And check these girls out. https://www.womenonwheels.org/ I believe this is a family oriented group: http://www.meetup.com/Nobles-Motorcycle-Club/ The next two have lots of women riders. Ask around. http://www.meetup.com/Central-Ohio-Riders/ http://www.meetup.com/ColumbusMotorcycleRiders/ .

Glad to hear this. .

I'm glad it wasn't worse, Sam. Let's all keep in mind that most accidents happen close to home.

Welcome. Extremely nice bike. .

Great reading. Thanks for the report, Derek. It makes me want to ride the dragon that much more. .

Saturday A chance of showers and thunderstorms, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 4pm. Cloudy, with a high near 80. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.

50% chance of rain means, If I don't ride to work, it will be sunny all day. If I do ride to work, it will turn into monsoon season three miles from my house. .

I think this video is the one. http://www.sportrider.com/sportbike-news/new-kawasaki-h2-video-reveals-planetary-gearset-drive-supercharger .

I did notice that most of those concerned about spare fuel tend to have adventure touring bikes. I'm still learning this stuff as I venture deeper into the world of motorcycling. .

+1 for this >>> Tour Tanks are for those adventurous souls who won't let gas stations dictate their destinations. Every time I go to map out a ride, I'm looking for a fuel stop every 100 miles for those that may need them. A quick mount and quick connect, without tools, like an air line, would be an excellent system for sport bikes and those not wishing to have an extra tank mounted all the time. .

I suppose we could say that was a hell of a first gear race. .

I follow this guy on YouTube. Give him a call. Perhaps he can make you a deal. Churchill Customs Huizhou, Guangdong, China +86.18688302970 churchillmotorcycles@gmail.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn84Xn7jz9s&feature=youtu.be .

See below. .

I had a closer look at these Rotopax. I like them. But, a 1 gal pack for fuel is $60 and one for water is $40. That doesn't include the mount. Perhaps if I was doing off road, I would invest in a setup. I suppose a larger tank would work, but I'd still be limited to only about 600 miles. .

I was given a can of this. I can't say if it's good or not as I don't work in conditions that injure my hands to the degree that would cause me to need it. .
