I never really asked the guy, but for simplicity, I'll say yes, only male shirts. Edit: Also, for payment, I have updated the original post to include payment information. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU INCLUDE YOUR USERNAME IN THE PAYMENT DETAILS SO I CAN UPDATE WHO PAID AND WHO DIDN'T. Payment information: Paypal: derekclouser@gmail.com If you need to pay some other way, please message me and we can try and arrange it. NOTE: ONLY PREPAID SHIRTS WILL BE ORDERED AT THE DEADLINE.

Yea, tell me about it... Hopefully next week's 60 degrees will be the start.

I believe we are going to be using the same route and meet spot as last year. There may be a slight modification to the route as Honda Marysville Motorsports wants to possibly sponsor food for all the riders so I'll post details about that if it ends up working out. I mean absolutely no disrespect with this comment, but if you wouldn't mind, try and keep the regional meetups to the Epic Ride to their own threads. I want to keep this post as on topic and relative to the details of the actual ride as much as possible.

I believe I have updated the original post, If I missed you, please repost... Thanks

As long as payment is in by the April 25th deadline - I'll have paypal information within the week. Just need to make sure I don't need to do anything to my paypal to make sure I get access to the funds. Two XL T-shirts or XXL?

Absolutely, This ride is not just for OhioRiders... It is for anyone who wants to ride.

It would be hard to move up because the faster groups leave first. It would be much easier to move down if you felt uncomfortable with the pace.

And why not post under your own tag Jason? Why try and hide behind a different alias? Takes a big man to do that.

You have your story all wrong. Get the real story, then come talking.

Perfect man, I'll update the thread. We need to get some leads and sweeps!!! Are we all in agreement of keeping the same meet spot and route as last year??

So recently I sold my older bike (98 CBR900rr) in hopes of moving into a newer fuel injected bike. I was really interested in the ZX-10r. After selling the bike, I had a few set backs. I was starting to really stress because I wanted to make sure I had a bike ready for when the weather was decent and the salt was off the roads. Well today, I finally pulled the trigger on an '05 Kawasaki ZX10r. Only had 10k miles so I'm pretty happy. Here's a few pics: I put the bike into the back of my truck and drove it home today. Of course it started snowing and when we got it back to whaler's garage, it had been coated in snow and salt so we decided we needed to wash it immediately to remove the road salt. Here's a pic of us looking like idiots in freezing conditions washing a motorcycle. Special thanks to Brian (whaler) for helping me out today. Finally got that monkey off my back and now it's back to hoping the weather clears up soon so I can take her out and adjust to her power.

Okay, shirts will be $8.00 a piece. If want a shirt, please PM w/ sizes. He said he would need 2 weeks, so deadline will be April 31st for shirts.

Updated first post to include everyone attending to this point (if I missed you, which I'm sure I didn't, repost) We still need to iron out leads/sweeps and a route/meeting place...

Crazy, you would be more than fine in a medium group or medium fast even

I will preface this whole post saying that we don't have a full organizer of the event, and I'm in NEO, so I won't be able to organize this down at the meet spot because I will probably be one of the last to arrive with the NEO group. We will need to find someone who is able to get to the meet spot early and organize so that all goes as smooth as possible. I can help with all the pre-planning prior to the day of the event, but unfortunately not being as close as others, it would be beneficial if we could get some help for the day of the event. ORIGINAL DATE CANCELLED DUE TO RAIN!!!! Date: SUNDAY - May 18, 2014 Rain Date: Sunday - May 18, 2014 All details are subject to change - so please follow up to this thread before the event to verify all details are the same! Meet Place: Hocking Mall Shopping Center ---Hocking Mall St, Logan, OH 43138 Logan shopping mall lot on 664 latitude. 39.54528°, longitude. -82.43083° Time: Meet by 10:30 Start organizing group by 11:00 and kick stand to ride by 11:30 Pre-Ride Meetups: W/SW Rider Meetup NE Rider Meetup Central Rider Meetup NW Rider Meetup (Link TBD) When you arrive we will *hopefully* have areas designated to your group for the ride (i.e. fast, med-fast, med, etc), so please park your bike in the group you wish to ride. This should save some hassle organizing groups later on. Route will be same as last year. http://goo.gl/maps/ZnwBZ The following details are copied and pasted from last year's Epic Ride, organized by Nivin (NinjaDoc). They worked well and we will of modify certain aspects within last years event to make it even better this year! Last year we had close to 75+ riders, which was an incredible turnout, so let's try to get more riders out this year! Request: Be ATGATT if possible, and try and sport an OR t shirt if you have one. Orders for t-shirts will also be possible by PM'ing me a size. (T-shirt request thread - 8$ a shirt) Some etiquette to help us all better as suggested by many riders: • Everyone is responsible for themselves, so ride within your limits. Crashing is not something we want to have happen. We had several incidents last year, some because of bike maintenance and I believe some because they were outside their comfort zone in terms of speed. Ride within your limits and stay safe. Our goal is to have a fun safe day of riding with a bunch who share the same passion. Crashing only ruins that fun, not only for you, but for others as well. • Grab a bite if you want before ride as there wont be lunch stops. • Ideal maximum group size is ten riders with a lead rider and a tail (sweep) rider • These two riders should be interchangeable in skill level so that the sweep rider can evaluate and help the riders in front of them: These two riders need to know the count of how many riders are in their group. The lead rider needs to wait at all stops for the sweep rider to give him a thumb up. • At each stop the leader or sweep rider can switch or at their discretion ask and allow a new formation of the line. • Do not allow passing other riders in same group once the ride has started except at starts. • Passing slow moving vehicles might be needed for the faster group, when doing this each rider makes times and judges it for them self. Dont wait for the group to pass as a whole. At times might have to cross double yellow to pass. • Both group leaders should know the route well and if possible have ridden it prior to event. • Do not allow changes of groups at stops (Unless both ride leaders of both groups are aware of the change and it does not raise the group count to over ten riders. • If a rider has to leave a group early make sure they tell someone in the group • Do not pass except at stops. • If you picked the wrong spot in line of your group ask to change positions at stops or if a rider signals you to pass. • Start the ride with a full tank of gas. • Many folks are planning to grab a bite at the end of the ride, those with time should do it as it will be fun. The unfortunate long haulers will start back to get home before dark. The Groups Always start one group below what you feel you ride. Meaning if you think your fast, start with medium fast group and if you are comfortable move to the fast group during gas break after letting the lead and sweep know. Better to be safe than sorry. Remember we might be riding roads very new to you. Fast: • Usually 70mph on the straight and 25-30 mph over the posted limit of curve. • The people who belong to the group know they belong to this group, they dont think they belong here. • Dont jump in here unless you been riding with such fellows for some time. eg: UP, Midgettod, Hutch, Core rides Medium-Fast: • 65-70mph on the straight and 20-25 over the posted limit opf curve. • This is the usual fast rides some group rides do, still rather fast • Jump in here if you been riding for a while and is comfortable at these paces on most roads Medium: • 65 mph on the straight and 15-20 over the posted limit opf curve. • This is the everyday regular group rides pace, • Jump in here if you been riding for a while and is comfortable at these paces on most roads Slow: • 60 mph or around posted limit on the straight and upto 10 over the posted limit of curve. • This is the a very comfortable yet fun group ride, • Jump in here if you like doing friendly fun rides and also new riders must join here • The last two rides most people rode this group showing zero ego issues and they had most fun, • No ego in both years kept our rides with 0 casuality Cruiser and heavy touring: • All the mammoth bikes and cruisers • They enjoy the road and own the road at their own pace • Made sperate group just in case there is enough numbers • more than free to join any of the above group based on their own preference. If you could please announce if you plan to attend and which group so I can keep an ongoing list. If you plan on bringing someone else from outside of the forums, or those who don't post, please add a +1 for each member, so we can kind of figure out how many groups we will need to plan for.\ Also post if you are willing to sweep or lead so we can get a list for that as well.

and just to be clear, Rob is a very good rider, I just enjoy busting his balls cause he has a rocket for a bike.

Anyone can run 200 HP through the straights and ABS brake into the corners and seem fast You know I'm just playing...

Jason leaves you in the dust, so that doesn't really say much.
