Welcome!

Sweet bike. We may not be able to ride for half the year, but at least we have curvy roads.  Make sure to check out the threads on the OR Epic ride and the OR Track day. Both events are a great time and place to meet members of the board and ride!

...and roads with elevation changes.

Also... Welcome to Ohio, it's not that bad! ^TM  

Looks like I'll be able to attend this one - unlike last year when weather and other plans didn't cooperate.  slow or medium group 

Tried to wake it up from Hibernation; four letter words did not help. Based on the noises it did and did not make, a new battery to replace the original one ought to do the trick.

That looks to be the Hydraulic Press Channel on the Tubes of You: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcMDMoNu66_1Hwi5-MeiQgw Good stuff if you want to fit a bunch of destruction into an evening. 

Jim Dandy's BBQ (http://www.jimdandybbq.com) on the north side of Cincy has been a regular lunch-stop for me when making day trips to that part of Ohio.  If BBQ ribs are your thing, visiting one of the four Montgomery Inn (http://www.montgomeryinn.com) restaurants should be on the to-do list. 

*note to self: May 21st off-limits to other plans*

NOTE ---- EVERYONE WE ARE STILL A GO - MOVING THE START TIME FROM 11:00 AM TO 12:30 PM.... GIVES EVERYONE AN EXTRA 1.5 HOURS TO HOPEFULLY KEEP AWAY FROM ANY RAIN.

MEETING IN LODI now @ 9:00am.... kickstands up at 9:30am.

With this time delay, I'm out. Wouldn't get back to Cleveland in time for family stuff tonight. Keep the shiny side up everyone.

I should be there for the ride down, ride back might be different depending on family plans.

perhaps you are planning on heading NW towards the UP of MI?

 

That's where you will need to go to escape what's coming. Heading to SE Ohio to ride the best? 90% chance of rain,

 

Let's see the Dome deal with that.

 

After getting doused on the way to the Spring 2015 ride, during the ride, and goddamn monsooned on the way home after the ride, even though the weather report I saw that morning said 35% chance, I'd do it all over again.  These shindigs that Derek organizes are too much fun.

I'm in.

Slow group.

Cheers on the new ride! 

Hello!  That older bike looks wonderful, and the newer one is certainly not shabby either.

That probably includes the construction crews that are building the place. Probably more like 50-100 jobs once the place is built. And that includes janitors. And the army of managers.

 

Kinda doubt it would be more than 50.  Figure no more than 10 or so Tier I techs on some sort of 24-hour shift rotation to keep the computers running, Two or maybe three Tier II techs, a couple shift managers, possibly an HR person, handful of janitors, and maybe a few security guard types. Gets me to around 25 people.

Is it available in 55-gallon drum?  I would hate to be in the middle of something and then find out there isn't enough 

The thing I liked about this route, was getting home at about 6:30pm as opposed to 9:00pm.

Pauly doesn't have thigh gap, really... and it's not camel toe... what's the correct term for those three pixel's worth of light shining through?

 

Soooo studly, whatever it is!

 

Photoshop.  

the self-assembled part is definitely worth a bit of     and

 

Also, Welcome to our Asylum.

ill take woodchuck summer, or a bottle of eljiah craig bourbon 

 

using "and" in the middle of that sentence seems reasonable, also I may have added a shot of bourbon to a glass of cider once (or maybe that was more than once - difficult to remember that evening) 

Just got a shipping notice for my t-shirt from the 2nd batch - estimated delivery Monday 5/11.

Also get into a high gear and go slow, then roll on hard. If your clutch has issues you will hear the RPM's climb fast but you won't be speeding up. It is VERY noticeable if it is bad.

 

I've experienced this sort of situation happening in 4th and 5th gears after I took my bike out of storage this winter.  Was accelerating at highway speeds, and right before the tach hit 5k RPM, the revs would climb noticeably faster than my speed.  Also, neutral was suddenly much more elusive and difficult to locate.  A couple hours of troubleshooting later, the pivot pin for the clutch actuator lever was starting to seize against the lever and the mounting tabs on the transmission case.  A generous amount of penetrating oil and a dab of anti-seize later, the problem is gone, and I now have another item on my to-do list for after rides where I encounter wet/damp conditions.

Was not expecting a finish quite like that.  Had me laughing.

Bought a 2nd Tshirt - and now I shall have both versions 

Hello from another NEO person!

I'll show up in Lodi.

Fail.

 

Correct.. No excuses here... Stayed up late Friday (my fault), Slept in (my fault), did not get home from my weekly West Side Market run before 11am (my fault).  I suppose I could have ridden down, rolled past and returned home in time to go to the next place I needed to be Saturday, but I think that would be counter to the idea of meeting and greeting.
