Funny to watch.

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.

.

It only got up to 61 here today!

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

.

Does anyone else have much interest in an Advanced Rider Course in Columbus?

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.

.

we might be there at that time to scout the new route (...the first weekend in April)

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.

Putnam is an excellent track for your first time

...i do agree with Todd.. Putnam... is a much better track for the first ever based on a simple fact that it is easier to learn.. and you can concentrate on other aspects of your riding with out feeling so far over your head...

Putnam is great due to the ability to see everything... It is a solid choice as well...

.

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.

.

The cop bullied his way out of the situation...

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.

.

All I know is I ain't ridin' behind Jack ....Is it raining ?????

I think I mentioned that...

... I wouldn't want to put a mist in the air that trailing riders would ride through.

...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:

It is suggested for ...Long Distance Motorcycle Riders...

One "Iron Butt" rider had the following to say: ..."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... 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'm thinking, forget the bag. Run a tube that reaches...below the boot, pull off to the side, leave a puddle, and catch back up with the group.

And here are some words from our very own:

...I knew of a nurses husband who would use them at OSU games. Pregame and drink all day with out having to wait in those long horseshoe bathroom lines.

if my opinion matters any.. i think thats a hell of an idea. i HATE stopping and feeling awkward because i have to stop everyone else so i can take a tinkle. i give you props for finding something interesting. i would consider purchasing it.

And as for this...

...If you signal that you need to take a leak...

...a....um....just what is that signal? Do I point at the ground and shake my arm like crazy or what?

.

...I'll keep an eye out for the wrecked bike at the insurance auctions this summer.

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!

If youre really bothered by it talk to your doc. Prostate issues must suck

I think most missed the point of this post.

..

Bonus points if you run it out the bottom of the bike with the other overflow tubes and skip the whole pulling over part.

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....

.

...unless you have something against shoving a rubber hose up your urethra into you bladder.

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.

.

Sorry' date=' Jack. I didn't mean to laugh out loud, but that shit is funny. However, I guess being old and incontinent isn't. Please, accept my apologies.

I guess it's a good idea. If it makes your ride easier, then what the hell? I have just never seen anything like this.

Remind me to tell you the story of when Lyns pissed in her leathers on OH-93 while riding in the middle of a pack of HarleyDavidsons. It's pretty goddamned funny.

It's not a matter of not being able to hold it in for a while. It's a matter of it becoming painful after holding it in for a long while.

But then you have to stop and pee more often. I may have a solution.

Have any of you thought of this?

The original post has been edited. Please read again.

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.

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?

My thinking is no matter how perfect a citizen you are, once an investigation was completed that you would be guilty of something.

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.

There still are no additional ARC classes posted.

No more ARC posted at 5:30 PM either. Plus, Hamilton, Ohio is down to 24 seats.

.

I'm wondering if something is jacked-up with the website. I don't buy that Butler Technology & Career Development Schools in Hamilton, Ohio has 33 seats left for May 16th thru June 30th, at 3:30 PM on the first day of sign-up, and no one else has any seats left in the whole state.

This morning...called the 800 number on the website...The lady explained that all of the ARC courses must not be posted yet....She said that they should be posted in the near future. I checked back at 4:30 and the only ARC classes available were in Hamilton, OH.

Suspicions confirmed.

Edit: As of 1:19 AM, Hamilton, Ohio is down to 29 seats for the ARC class. No others have been posted.
