It's worth it to do as the Aussies do if there is no other way to get off work, but you have so many days you are allowed off for illness. They call it "Chucking a sickie." So, chuck a sickie and enjoy the day. .

Funny to watch. http://youtu.be/791Dr-VH-Zw

This is probably not how your club should start out.

Poor guy went to bed for a pleasant night's sleep and woke up in hell. .

That's just like rubbing salt in a fresh case of road rash. .

An Advanced Rider Course is what I was interested in but fat chance that one will be offered at a time that I can attend. .

I might like to take that ride too, Doc. Keep me posted? .

I think I know where I'll make my first track day, based on what some very well respected riders have presented here before us. Thanks guys. It's amazing how much can be learned just by listening to those with personal experience. I would never have known where to begin without your input. .

I'll pencil in May 4th & 5th. I'll most likely ride down both days from Newark. If anyone wants to ride down with me on either day, that would be fine. .

And if another cop pulled up, it could have gotten ugly quickly. One is enough to deal with and I try hard to avoid that because they are usually going to claim to be right even when they are not. This one had an attitude that we don't need. .

I think I mentioned that... ...so don't think I would do that. However, it wouldn't be a bad idea if a car was a little too close behind and you wanted to mist their windshield a little in hopes that they would back off. Let's say you are buzzing down the freeway and the only reason you have to stop is because you have to go. It could take you ten minutes to exit, get through traffic, and get into a restroom, five minutes to get your "part" out of, and back into your riding gear, and another ten minutes to get back on the freeway. It could be 1/2 hour before you are back to cruising speed, all for just having to relieve your bladder. At 80 mph, you could be another 40 miles down the road in 1/2 hour. With this item, you could pull to the side, relieve the pressure, and be back up to speed in minutes. I see there is some interest. Here's a repeat of what one guy said: And here are some words from our very own: And as for this... ...a....um....just what is that signal? Do I point at the ground and shake my arm like crazy or what? .

Watch for a GSXR 750 also. Guy at work bought it from his cousin. He's never ridden a bike before. He's taking the MSF BRC in April. He's never been one to listen to people trying to help him to learn things he needs to know on the job. I suspect his listening skills have not changed much. .

Off to Hocking Hills? Need a place to sleep? No worries! http://www.americanrvcompany.com/Vintage-Camper-of-the-Week--Vintage-Motorcycle-Camper_b_53.html .

Well, I wouldn't want to put a mist in the air that trailing riders would ride through. Well, not for most of you. Others? Well.... .

That's not what I had in mind. Ouch! I think most missed the point of this post. Thanks for the feedback. I expected some jokes but...I thought this sounded like a good idea when you couldn't take the time, or didn't want to stop, to do your business. One quick stop without having to dismount, trickle trickle onto the ground, and zoom zoom. I'm thinking that when you are wrapped up in cold weather gear, without having to get through three layers, this may be quite a convenience. .

:nono: To make things worse, bmwnut was reluctant to stop for a piss break even then. I think some of the others suggested that they also had a need. I did mention two cups of coffee, didn't I? And I went just before we left the starting point. .

But then you have to stop and pee more often. I may have a solution. http://www.ohioriders.net/showthread.php?p=964530#post964530 Have any of you thought of this? .

The ol' bladder isn't as elastic as it used to be. A friend suggested to not drink anything the morning of a ride. But, without two cups of java, I'm nearly comatose until noon. And, those two cups demand to come back out in a timely fashion. During the 2012 Dream Ride, if it hadn't have been for bmwnut missing a turn in Malta, and turning us around at a gas station, I would have arrived in Zanesville thoroughly soaked. And, it wasn't just me that had to go. I've thought about a solution to a needed bathroom break when the rest of the group ahead of you, with bladders of steel, ride off without you as you wonder off into the woods for relief. Has anyone tried anything like this? There are attachments for women as well as men. http://www.biorelief.com/products/portable-toilets/stadium-pal-kit.html I'm thinking, forget the bag. Run a tube that reaches two inches below the boot (while sitting on the bike), pull off to the side, leave a puddle, and catch back up with the group. It is suggested for ...Traveling, Flying, Hunting and Fishing, Aviators, Concerts, Physical Therapy, Pub Crawling, And Long Distance Motorcycle Riders, Prostate Recovery. One "Iron Butt" rider had the following to say: I am a long distance motorcycle rider from Londonderry, NH. I compete in endurance events all around the United States. Recently I rode in the Ironbutt Rally, an 11 day, 11,000 mile event known as "The World's Toughest Motorcycle Competition." www.ironbutt.com Endurance riding requires the rider to solve equations of fuel management, time and distance, as well as endurance. If I have to stop every few hours to pee, it defeats the purpose of carrying 11.5 gallons of fuel. I have been using the Stadium Pal for two years now, and using it has allowed me to drink fluids continuously while riding, without the worry of finding somewhere to stop. It allows me to concentrate on riding, and allows me to only stop when I need to refuel or rest. There is nothing worse than holding it in for hours looking for a good place to stop. It eliminates the need to use the always clean restrooms, and leaving my well-equipped motorcycle in an unsecured location. The Stadium Pal prevents dehydration and muscle cramps. I can't praise the Stadium Pal enough, I love to brag about my "tube", and my favorite line is, "Do you know what I am doing right now?" Feedback? .

TV News: City police raided a Dirtwater home early this morning. Two adults were taken into custody and two small children turned over to children's services. Guns and ammunition were confiscated along with a small amount of cash. The suspects were suspected of littering. Film at eleven.
