welcome! glad to see another clevelander!

not at all.. but after speaking with UP and his nephew, i feel like it needs to be reminded to the public. ive only met UP a couple of times, and hes a swell guy and can ride a motorcycle better then 99% of us here. he's beating himself up over the situation, and he shouldnt be. hes a good person and one hell of a rider. he doesnt deserve to be feeling like he is. too many people try and go out of their own pace and fail around him, so he feels like its his fault. when its not at all. UP taught me a lot without actually teaching me. he's in a time of need and support just as much as his nephew. as hellmutt said, this is a very simple rule to riding that is often forgotten or neglected, which then leads to injury. a simple reminder is all this is.

All tips to this post are welcome. It's needs to be well stated and understood. We need NO MORE casualties.

i feel like i NEED to post this enlightenment of recent happenings. most of us should know this, those who dont, will learn. most of us SHOULD use this, when a lot dont. pace: a : rate of movement; especially : an established rate of locomotion b : rate of progress; specifically : parallel rate of growth or development <supplies kept pace with demand> c : an example to be emulated; specifically : first place in a competition <three strokes off the pace — Time> d (1) : rate of performance or delivery : tempo <a steady pace> <on pace to set a record>; especially : speed <serves with great pace> <a pace bowler in cricket> (2) : rhythmic animation : fluency <writes with color, with zest, and with pace — Amy Loveman> this is the definition of pace. youve got yours, and the group or leader may have their own. do not breech your pace, unless your feeling like trying to excel a little better, but do it at YOUR OWN RISK. your wrist controls the throttle, no one else's. in turn your life is in your own hands. if your riding with a group or person that is too fast and you feel uncomfortable then SLOW DOWN OR STOP, move to the back of the group!! or you WILL get hurt. the group WILL wait for you, if they dont, then you shouldnt be riding with those assholes anyway. i can honestly not stress how important your comfort zone is when doing anything on a motorcycle. a motorcycle is not a toy. it is a machine built to go fast and handle exceptional, in the correct hands with the correct rider. you wanna go fuck around, have at it, do it on your own time. PACE! stay in your comfort zone, not in someone else's. i was lucky to get up and walk away when i wrecked. it was my fault, not leaders. im happy, privileged! to have wrecked. why? because it taught me an important lesson. since that day i have never respected my machine, and the sport, more then ever. i rode the shit out of that bike, and guess what? it bit back. long story made short: we will not make fun of you for being less skilled. ill have more respect to the rider that tells me they cant handle the pace, then the rider that tries and fails. go no further then your comfort zone, its different for every single one of us. just please dont get hurt. and again, anything that happens to you, is not the leaders fault, only yours for not following a few simple rules on a moto. i love this family we have here, we need to stay safe.

cold and wet today... if you guys go, PLEASE be careful!!

no lean angle. we putt putt through there slowly, like tops 25mph.

yep!

did you save my number?

yep thats the exact route

we usually go from where the it starts at route 2/90 down to pearl road. just needs to warm up a little. lol those semi long cruises get kind of chilly towards the end unless your suited up.. lol

We do, and have, but we keep it slow and keep the bikes loud. I've personally only seen one deer within the 3 trips I've taken through it at night. It's just a cruise through, nothing extreme. Just to enjoy the night weather.

You have a Clevelander right here. I know about 10 more that are also pretty active on here

Hob is on the road right now I believe. He's been on a long bike trip for a week or so now.

welp here it is, kind of sucks because i couldnt catch up to a fast group so all the videos are of slower groups, which is ok because we all remained safe, but my throttle hand was getting constantly itchy for more. EDIT:: someone change that so its the video and not a link.. i cant get the damn thing working...

waiting on the price as to whether ill call it mine or not..

i like the second route better

ive only met you a couple of times, but your an outstanding guy and i enjoyed riding with you.. will have to do some more rides before you leave. its sad to see you go, but your happiness knows what it wants. GL with everything and i hope to see you on the roads a few times more before you leave this shitty state!

this.. ATGATT!!!!!

When I get done editing all of mine ill send it out.

I had an amazing time! Wish I would have went with a faster group though. Kept trying different groups looking for more, ended in pockeys group and had a awesome time riding with the 20 some bikes that ended in that ride also. I hope te people that were injured come back quickly, I think we did ok. Lived meeting you all and riding with you!! What an awesome day it was!!

this!
