Welcome to the OR, where all garage junkies are welcome!!

Haven't got a response either. Still waiting for a shipping notice.

I am glad to hear he is ok. Is the bike repairable or done?

You could always get a UV rated Navy decal printed at a local print shop.  My wife used to work at a print shop that made UV rated vinyl decals/logos for work trucks and vans.  She printed me off some cool stuff for my last bike.

Welcome to the OR madness!

I wonder what legalizing lane splitting will do for motorcycle insurance rates? My guess is they won't be going down. Also, this could become a money maker for the DMV! First you will have to pay to take a test and pay for a lane splitting endorsement and then, yes, pay every year to renew it. The possibilities are endless!!!

Welcome to the OR & thank you for your dedication and service for our country! +1 on the Epic ride. It's a great way to meet up with some good people and enjoy a day of riding. The Epic Ride thread is under rides & events.

Clutch lever cable adjustment.  Is the clutch lever loose, if so may need adjusted.  This could be a cause, but rough shifting would happen more frequently.

Setup my suspension on the Fizzer!  Realized my rear shock is too small based on my heavy ass.  Considering changing it out.  Put new registration and sticker on the bike.  She is ready for the weekend!

EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT THIS!!! https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/allow-motorcycle-lane-sharing-all-public-roads-1

Interesting. Not a whole lot of OH peeps listed on there.

 

 

She was good to me too, until she stranded me with whatever that throttle issue was. Maybe I gave up too early on her... but I like my new Fizzer so I can't complain either way.

Nothing to complain about, the Fizzer will never let you down!!     

Wow!  I figured it was only a matter of time.  What worries me is when they tout this stuff you know our enemies can see this too and are going to do anything to get there hands on it!

I went to one some years back at Quaker Steak in Valley View (NEO) near Cleveland and there were over 1500 bikes.  They were parking all the way up to the movie theater.  It was pretty insane, but really cool to see all the different bikes.  The funny thing was the parking lot had just been paved and bikes kick stands without the pucks started sinking into the asphalt.  There we a shit ton of new holes in the new pavement.  People were scattering trying to find anything to put under the kickstand to prevent sinking.  Quaker Steak donated 100's of cardboard coasters to stick under kick stands.  This was when I started to carry a puck in my tank bag.

What?! The Epic Ride will not be the same if you sell your bike. I look forward to seeing you and the VIffer at every ride. Promise if you sell it you will get something else so you can still hang with us at the Epic Ride!

Welcome back to the OR!

Glad to hear you are ok.  Bruises and a bruised ego with no other contact with any vehicles and no citations is a good day in my book!  My road rash and back are still healing from my accident last summer.  Going to try and ride this weekend for the first time since my accident.  Get that bike fixed and you will be back on two wheels in no time! 

That thing looks like something out of the future. Really frieken wicked looking, I love it! Put wings on it and it would probably fly.

Never been pulled over on my bike. Probably just jinxed myself. Lol! Only deal with the state hwy patrol was when I wrecked last year like Derek stated above. Statie was really cool. He saw all the dirt and gravel in the corner like I had stated and saw that I was in full gear and never been pulled over on the bike. He called after I got released from the hospital and genuinely said he was happy to hear I was ok and home. He said he didn't want to add insult to injury by giving me a ticket for failure to control. I was very thankful. There are a few good guys out there.

Yeah. That's no problem. I may even be able to break a bead, so long as it's not a tire that's been on the wheel for 11ty billion seasons.

Yeah, nothing a 2x4 and a sledge hammer couldn't handle! Lol!

Ask Derek Clouser on the site, he may be interested.  He just picked up a No Mar kit with balancer.  Currently its set up in a garage in Medina.

They just arrived today!

Everyone has already talked about the pace and getting over your head, so I will mention something else. Another thing to keep in mind when group riding is the guy behind you is counting on you to pass along important info from the lead. There are important hand signals that only can be learned through practice and experience. Noticing when there is need to slow down or an obstruction in the road. All this info needs to be passed along to the rider behind you. This will come in time when you ride in a small group with experienced riders, that is how I learned.

Wings and newer Kawi Concours already have this, but it would likely become more popular eventually as standard option on other OEM's -- more popular for a touring and cruiser market, but might catch on for other platforms as well.

There's aftermarket kits out there for bikes......here's one option and seems similar to others that came up on a search

Looks like a nice aftermarket option.  They say the weight of the sensors doesn't throw off wheel balance.  That would be my only concern.

I have this little display right above my speedo and tach.

That is cool!  I would love to be able to look down and at a glance see my tire pressures while riding.  Like i stated before, it would be nice to know if you have a leak or a tire going down.

Welcome to the OR!  If your up to it check out the Epic Ride threat and meet us for the Epic Ride.  There will be some awesome roads and curves on the route!  It is also a good way to meet some fellow riders.
