Go here to put in your 2¢ on our annual spring ride. http://ohioriders.net/index.php?/topic/106670-2015-epic-ride-spring-organization-inputs/ The ride is mandatory for new members. ..........I'm joking, of course. But, it is a chance to meet long time members and other new members as well, from all over Ohio, and beyond. We all have a good time. Welcome to OR. .

Friday is sign up day. .

You may with to make 220VAC available for an air compressor, either for yourself or as a selling feature for a potential buyer sometime in the future. Plenty of outlets around a workbench area is never a bad idea. How about that overhead lighting? Many garages are severely underlighted when the door is closed. Can you see as well as you wish you could? Don't overlook the area directly above the garage door, when it is open. With the door closed, that whole ceiling area is available to cast light upon some of your darkest, shadowy places. Vehicles parked in a garage block a lot of light by shadowing areas you may wish were better lighted. .

I'll take $3000 for my 2008 GS 500F. .

I believe a garage heater needs to be installed at least six feet up from the floor, for fire safety purposes. You don't want to ignite any gasoline fumes lingering around at floor level. .

That's top of the line in my book. I really need to win the lottery. .

I have a lightly scuffed 2008 GS 500F with 7xxx miles, and $2500. It is a fully faired bike. I'll give you the matching soft saddle bags, tank bag, and trunk bag as well. I have new mirrors and bar ends for it. I put new Avon tires on it back in the summer and had it fully serviced through Iron Pony. The only thing I know that it needs is a new bulb for the blinker indicator. Other than some scuffs from my spill on the 555, it's in pretty good shape. Just offering, though I really doubt it's anything you would be interested in. But the VFR would be a nice upgrade for me. .

If you can get an offer of $6000 for it still, that's over the average retail NADA value by almost $500 and way over for one in excellent condition from a dealer, according to the KBB. Those are the figures for the 44147 zip code. Hopefully someone will come along and want it enough. .

I forgot to mention that on sunny summer Sundays the road is full of road-clogging Harleys riding two up. . .

So far, May 16th is winning the race. The historical average low and high for that date is 49°F and 72ºF. You can go here to see historical average temperatures in areas of your choice. http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/athens-oh/45701/month/335029?monyr=5/01/2015 .

There are 90 degree turns just over the rise, that sneak up on you, almost before you can react.There is a coating of dusty grit that you don't see until you are right up on it.it's a good ride if you are taking it easy, but not so much it you want a more spirited pace.Ride it the first time, keeping the above in mind..

No worries. I really don't need the stickers right now. The duct tape and wire ties are still holding the bike together just fine. I primarily wanted them for the added horsepower. Maybe they will make it run like a triple. .

I'm going to tell myself that it's burdensome to fire up the equipment to make very small batches of decals and that it's much easier to make them when a sufficient number of orders have accumilated so that they can be produced all in one easy stroke. Yes, that's it. That's what I'm going to tell myself. .

Yesterday made three weeks since my order. I just logged in to ABDecal.com. Here's what I still have: Order #6598 Order Date: 12th Jan 2015 This order is marked as Awaiting Fulfillment Your Order Contains: 8 x OhioRiders.net Decal (Color: White) He must be very busy and squeezes in these "freebies" as he can. I'll give it another week and then PM him. .

Did you know.......? If you have a motorcycle endorsement on your current out of state license, you can get that out-of-state motorcycle endorsement transferred to your new Ohio license. Out-of-state endorsements may be transferred to your new Ohio driver’s license by completing the motorcycle temporary permit (TIPIC) exam. Here is the link to find out more information on the TIPIC exam: www.bmv.ohio.gov/ .

We have 2/3 of winter left to go. We could get 2" to 4" of snow today. Give us time. You won't be disappointed. .

Hi. Make yourself at home. .

Attempted to order as a guest, with PayPal. It takes me straight back to Step 2: Billing and Account details. I suppose I'll set up an account and give it another go. * Okay. After setting up an account, my order went straight through. Already, I have emails that say: >> Thanks for Registering at ABDecal.com >> Thanks for Your Order >> Order Status Changed ..... An order you recently placed on our website has had its status changed. The status of order #XXXX is now Awaiting Fulfillment And from PayPal: You sent a payment of $4.00 USD to Knight Signs and Decals (admin@abdecal.com) So far, so good. Looking forward to receiving them. Thanks, Alan. .

Since riders are divided up into different speed and skill levels, there is no reason why seasoned riders and newer riders must traverse the same path. Just a thought. .

Those are exactly some of the roads I've been wanting to ride. It would have to be an overnighter for me to sqeeze in all that awesome riding. That's going to be at least six hours of riding from end to end. If we ever do a two day ride on this route, I will try and get in on it. It's this area of the state that has me wishing for some camping gear. These roads also appear to be rather advanced for some of the riders that our rides tend to attract. The lesser skilled and newer riders may find themselves a bit over their heads in less time than they can react to something that requires a reflexive action. .

I wouldn't mind a different route, but I don't want to be the one to map it out. If you want to go back and look at the after ride comments from past rides, you can find them at the following links. I think it's a good idea to see what was suggested, to improve future rides, since this is now the future. 2014 Fall Epic Ride: http://ohioriders.net/index.php?/topic/105711-unofficial-fall-epic-ride-saturday-september-27/ 2014 Dream ride : http://ohioriders.net/index.php?/topic/103963-unofficial-spring-2014-epic-ride-may-17th/ 2013 Dream ride : http://www.ohioriders.net/showthread.php?t=102404 2012 Dream ride : http://www.ohioriders.net/showthread.php?t=97435 2011 Dream ride : http://www.ohioriders.net/showthread.php?t=82628 .

Just a reminder that last May 18th was very chilly for folks riding to the meetup spot. I think sometime in June would be best.
