  1. You mean like up five posts? Wife wanted to see if we could both get into the 5X and take a selfie. I talked her out of it.

    You should have done it would have been good for a laugh I got the shirt and it looks good

    The wife let me know I kind of messed up our 39 year anniversary is June 15. OOPS We will have to be partying that night when I call her.

  2. I wont know about a Saturdays work schedule till the Wed or Thurs of that week. It sucks because I can never make any weekend plans without burning a vacation day.

    I have the same problem but I get 6 weeks this year plus 5 mental health days. the only problem with the vacation is I have to give them 30 days notice We could also wait until the shirts come in and meet then

  3. Not to change the subject but I would love to try this some time I tried to get our ALR post to set up a coarse like this but where can you get that many cones I ride 52 miles to work every day in the summer and one of the games I like to play is to never put my feet down so I have gotten pretty good at very slow speeds I think I could do this with a little practice Anyone know where I can find this layout plan.

  4. Sam how many harley guys really race you? How many times has one tried to pass you or pulled up and said " let's race" - I bet less than a few. Unless there is a huge Harley drag racing scene in Massillon.

    Most guys just know better and don't even look your way.

    Back in 76 when I got my KZ1000 almost every Harley I came across wanted to race most of the time I was 2 up with the wife we would be at a light when it turned green my favorite thing to do was to always let the Harley take the lead thru the first two gears I would hang on his back wheel and stay in first gear until I heard him shift to 3rd then I would go to full throttle and do a full power shift to 2nd by the time my front wheel would touch the ground again we would be at least 5 bike lengths in front and still pulling away. I hated Harleys back then but time has away of changing your thinking. The KZ is not stock it is 1170cc with a few extra mods the turbo is long gone I found out I could get better times with high compression pistons, better cams and 4- 42mm Mikuni Carbs the transmission is beefed up after blowing 2 gear which they were famous for. Now days I think 90% of the Harley riders know better If not they learn fast and we only build our bikes to play with other Harleys and mine is not stock either but I have learned to do as many mods as you can while always trying to keep it looking as stock as possible. I know I can not beat the new rice burners on either bike any more but it is still fun to mess with the squids LOL

  5. I got hit by a 23 year old girl talking on her phone with no insurance in 2010 I ended up with $180,000 in medical bills 2 broken hips a mirror thru my stomach and 3 months out of work. There is no excuses for not having insurance NO SYMPATHY HERE. I did get some satisfaction she called my house about 3 weeks after the accident and asked for me I recognized her name on the caller ID when I answered the phone I told her that he doesn’t live here anymore and that he died from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. That might have been a little cold but it made me feel better at the time.

  6. I'd join but with the ridiculous requirement to attend as many events as they do, it's not possible,

    It is not their requirement it is Ohio’s. For and MC to maintain their club charter members of that club must maintain and 80% attendance to their meeting and functions. Also the club wants to make sure you will show up when they need you. Ride clubs do not fall under the same rules.

  7. That sounds completely stupid...

    There is no way I'm drag racing anyone with a passenger, especially a passenger I claim to care about...

    What drag raceway lets you 2-up a bike on the strip?

    Yep young and dumb over 30 years ago a lot has changed at the strips

    I hate to say it but I was a squid long before it became so popular

  8. I need fluids so I will spend mine on that. A least they got rid of the dealer specific cards, they spend the same anywhere now. If your looking adventure has syn3 for 9$

    Thanks I have a buddy that's a master mechanic for Harley I give him the cards and he gets me what I need.

  9. She use to be that way when we were in our 20s I use to run my kaw at the drag strip I had a turbo on the bike we would run 2 up and run 130 in the 1/4 mile We also use to drag race in down town Cleveland late at night depending on the bike we were racing she would always say on the bike with me back then there were no other bikes that could touch me except for another kaw but after my last wreck she has changed her way of thinking.

  10. J_T

    I have $375 worth of those gift cards on hand after the holidays Your right I think almost every relative gets me one now I use mine to get tires, fluids and parts I think I have collected enough Harley gear over the years to dress a whole ship crew

    I have no problem making sparks but the wife bitches every time we do  and keeps telling me Im to old to do that anymore What has age have to do with it.

    A few years ago I bought a set of ferrocerium flint steel wear plates for my floor boards. They get epoxy to the bottom of floorboard when they hit the road they spark like a huge Zippo lighter I never put them on the bike my son told me they are illegal to put on cars and bikes because they can start fires during the dry season
