I've posted a NEO meetup thread... meeting at the Minit Mart (BP) at the corner of 83/250 in Wooster OH. The other thread has details. Meeting at 8:00am and kick stands up 8:15.

Use an app like scenic. You can paste the short google maps link and will import the custom navigation. Oh... you can't... Scenic is only for iPhones.

Eh, I'm an iPhone fan because it always seems to work and work smoothyl. The apps work, the battery life is strong. That's not to say that Android may or may not be better, I've just always had little issues with every android I owned. Granted it was never a Galaxy. I didn't have to update my apps every third day to fix some sort of Phone specific bug... But most importantly, if I can't figure out how to do something, I can search and find the correct answer within seconds. But I don't pay for my phone anymore so I kind of just go with whatever my employer gives me.

@Doomking I know you were curious about this so here are the details. @Scorpion-Ninja --- I know you mentioned you were gonna slab down, but an option if you choose it.

As usual will meet in Wooster at the Minit Mart (BP) at the corner of 83/250 at 8am. 825 Dover Rd, Wooster, OH 44691 Kick stands up at 8:15 to get to the meet spot by 10:30. Route is simple. 83S to 78. Anyone can jump in with the group in Millersburg (~8:35) , Coshocton (~8:55) , or New Concord (~9:15) if needed. Of course, no-one will be left behind. Will wait for group at appropriate locations so no-one will need to feel pressured to keep up if they can't. See you in the AM.

None of that matters... the real question is what kind of oil will you be using?

I had a KN-138 that did the exact same thing this recall is for so be wary that it is a problem across the board with these filters. Many tracks are banning K&N Filters because of this problem and MID-OHIO has actually banned all HEX Head Filters because of the failure rates.

Absolutely.. I'll follow you for the route

Ya'll aint right. Just saying. I hate you all!

Nivin, I would like to not be a group leader on this event. I'd like the opportunity to follow for once Especially a few of these roads I'm not very familiar with.

Mine was a KN-138. Clearly they have a problem across the board, but may just need enough reported cases before they announce an official recall.

I've never had an issue before... the only issue I've ever had was the two ramps sliding apart and the bike starting to fall between them... that's why I strap them together now.... TBH most of the time, I just use one.

So I have 2 wood ramps for loading my bike onto my trailer. I've been thinking of ways to secure the wood ramps to the trailer for travel. My goal: A.) Prevent them from moving around while in travel. B.) I really don't want them to be able to bounce up and down independently of the trailer. C.) Not required but would be nice to be able to lock them so if I leave the trailer somewhere overnight, someone can't easily take the ramps. My initial idea was to put some sort of bolt through the bottom of the trailer and protrude through the top and then drill 2 holes into the ramps and then use a large wing nut on top to hold them down against the trailer. Since I don't have a welder, I'm not sure how to secure the bolt to the bottom side of the trailer so they don't just fall out when not in use and doesn't really accomplish my ability to lock it down. Anyone have any ideas? Also I'd prefer to not spend a million bucks either. I was also thinking about some L brackets and mounting them and somehow securing it that way. Just my brainstorming. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Links or images to anything you mention would be super helpful too!

And for the record, normally I wouldn't take a guys misfortune as an opportunity like this... BUT A) It's Tonik B) I know he's okay physically.

SO much in fact K&N has agreed for me to become a sponsored rider for $1500.

You are a disgrace for not making the votes public. The defendant has a right to face his accusers!

Riding at the limit on the street... tsk tsk

It was...

Honestly, you can't put that you dusted someone on 536 in your signature, if you crash on that exact same road. Just my .02 Vote if you think he should be required to change it.

They did request the filter information (including origin) and paid for me to ship my faulty filter back to them for testing, so hopefully they are trying to tie down where the faulty ones are being manufactured and can remedy the issues. I honestly kept the damages low from what I probably 'could' have gone for, but I didn't want to have to deal with courts or pushing it too far so I kept it fair at 1400$ to speed the process through. I'm not that particular and can deal with little scratches to the fairing so probably won't replace that and I was able to save the tire, too. So I will probably get an upgraded race suit out of the deal for my inconveniences and 'pain and suffering' and K&N has more information on their faulty product. I know I will never use K&N again.

Update: They are pony'ing up the $1400. Just requiring a general release from further litigation. Little bit of a hassle but they sent all they needed in one email. Although, I did have to follow up to get an answer, it wasn't too overly complicated. Here is the email I received (after requesting an update) Derek, Sorry for the delay. I did have your claim reviewed and following is what we show: Tire $159.66 Bar end slider $187.67 Helmet $549.99 Boots $179.99 Under cowl cover $265.05 Total: $1,342.36 Attached please find a General Release for your review and signature. Please sign the bottom of the General Release where indicated and return the General Release to me via e-mail (please forward the original General Release by mail to: K&N Engineering, 1455 Citrus St., Riverside, CA 92507). Once I receive the executed General Release (via e-mail) I will issue you a check in the amount of $1,342.36. If you have any questions please let me know. Thank you,

Myself and a few others will likely be coming from the Cleveland/Akron Area. We will likely meet at the Minit Mart at 83/250 in Wooster. (825 Dover Rd, Wooster, OH 44691) I'm not sure of the time at this point, but I will let you know.

Your plan was to turn it into a track bike so maybe you can buy it back from the insurance company on the cheap and convert it
