    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.

  3. 2015 Epic Ride Spring Organization & Inputs

    in Events

    Posted

     

    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.

    Any dates to add?

     

    I have no particular dates in mind.

    I think it was colder the year of the dream ride, we had a huge turn out for a cancelled ride :).

     

     

    The October 2012 Dream ride out of Newark had a temperature of 53° F at the start.

    I think there were around 38 bikes on that ride.  This was the cancelled  ride, due to

    a rainy morning.

     

      Last spring it was 48° F in Newark when it was time for me to head to the meet

    point.  That's why I stayed home.

     

    Part of the enjoyment of the ride is to and from the meet up spot.  Even though

    it's only an hour's ride from home to Logan, I still want to be comfortable getting

    there and back.

    I know for the guys who race June is usually out. Late may is graduation for a lot of people too

    , and early June is the Dragon. We are kind of limited depending on who wants to ride, but thats

    why we have a fall ride too, right?

     

    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.

  10. I Need This Bike Stand - Dealer Won't Sell It

    in LBTS GLWS

    Posted

    I looked through gobs of images for that chock.  I'm glad it

    finally surfaced.

     

    The stand is a Baxley LA model front chock with Triumph logo's added to it.

     

    LA Chock and LA Trailer ChockLATrailerChock.gif

    This fully adjustable motorcycle chock holds any motorcycle upright for transport,service or storage.These are two versions of the same chock and are mechanically identical. The only difference is the footprint - the LA Trailer Chock has a slightly smaller footprint which allows it to be placed in closer proximity to walls or the front of a trailer. LAChock.gifThese chocks are incredibly well made, with stainsless steel shoes and durable black crinkle powercoat. You will get a lifetime of excellent service from these excellent motorcycle

  11. Fall Colors

    Here Jack, get down and get worldly.....or Google some more!

    Big smiles here.....

     

    That was an interesting read.  I didn't know Amish teens

    did those things against their upbringing.  I would have

    thought that they were more inclined to avoid those kinds

    of activities.  I also viewed Amish girls as being pure as

    the driven snow until they were married.  Guess it's not

    as I thought after all.

     

    How long does a community allow a young person to

    practice Rumspringa before they are shunned?  The

    story suggests that some in their twenties are still not

    members of the church.  How does the community treat

    them?  Could one go off and return years later, and then

    go back to Amish life?

  12. Low water pressure ---well

    in Dumpster

    Posted

    I've had low water pressure the entire time I've moved into my house.

    I'm looking at getting a Kenetico water softner and I'm afraid I won't

    have any pressure when it regenerates.

    I've checked my pressure tank and adjusted it.  I raised my switch

    pressure to 40-60.  The Kenetico rep checked the water pressure

    (at 30psi running pressure) showed 4gpm.  Would this be my

    pressure tank itself or would it be the well pump?

     

    I'm guessing that 30 psi running pressure means that the

    pump is running at that point.  That sounds very good.

     

    I'm also guessing that there is a check valve (back flow

    preventer) between the the pump and the tank.  It could

    be leaky and allowing you to lose pressure in the system.

    It should also cause your pump to kick on more often than

    necessary in order to keep the system pressurized.

     

    That's my 2¢ worth, today for free.

  15. Have Monday off? Ride this Monday Oct 27th.

    I just walked into the house.  Made a stop at Buckeye Lake

    to watch the boats being put into and taken out of the water.

    The wind made it difficult to load a boat, so I helped a few

    people.

     

    Also, I stopped at the Jacktown Pub for a rib dinner.  If you

    go there, don't get the ribs.  They were delivered cold and

    I had to send them back.

     

    The bike is fueled up and SeaFoam has been added to the

    tank.  I also lubed up the chain for the winter.  It's ready to

    go when spring gets here, or it's ready now for another nice

    riding day.

     

    It was good to ride with you again, Dave.  That Muskie Bucket

    was interesting.  Maybe one time we can actually make it to

    the other side of Marietta for some new twisty roads.

    I'm in! Was considering a long-ish ride at a reasonable medium pace.

    It's fall and a workday so don't know what we'll find out on the roads.

    I can be in Logan around 9:30am or earlier. Then maybe some roads like,

    550 - 26 - 260 - 255 - 800 - and then 78 back to 33. Too ambitious?

     

    That looks like a good plan.  I'm leaving Newark at 9:00.  I should

    be in Logan by 10:00.

     

    For anyone else wishing they could join in, it looks like the perfect

    day to call off sick.  This may be the last nice riding day of the year

    and if you miss it, you will feel sick for sure.

  21. Have Monday off? Ride this Monday Oct 27th.

    Working weekends means it's hard to make a weekend ride.  But I have Monday

    off and Monday's forecast is looking pretty good to ride through southeast Ohio.

     

    Can you make it?  We can meet in Logan, Ohio and ride the Epic Ride route.

    This is a great chance for anyone who couldn't make the spring or fall rides due

    to having to work weekends.  I'd like to leave early enough to squeeze in a trip to

    the Big Muskie Bucket, about 10 miles past McConnelsville. 

     

    Kickstands up:  10 am   unless someone chimes in and makes a request.

     

    Route is also subject to suggestions.  No worries.

     

    We'll meet at the Hocking Mall Shopping Center.

     

    The route:  http://goo.gl/maps/ZnwBZ
