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 just really want to meet some more lady riders local to me.

 

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.

Here is one group.

We 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.

And check these girls out.

I believe this is a family oriented group:

The next two have lots of women riders.  Ask around.

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.

.

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.

Hopping around on sportrider.com I came across a video

of the H2's supercharger, just found out the impeller spins

at 130,000 rpm on that ba!

I think this video is the one.

I have traveled all over the United states on 2 wheels "many times off the beaten path" and have never ran out of gas, just seems like a worry over nothing to me........just sayin. Maybe the bikes I pick have a better range than some, or perhaps I just plan better or have been lucky at times too?

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.

.

Go check out Tour Tanks.

+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.

.

 Bikes here can be expensive, especially if you

want anything more than 150ccs.

 

Any ideas?

I have not used them but I have seen several bikes setup with Rotopax mounts. 

 

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.
