  3. Berlin sausage run

    in Events

    Posted

    You still planning a berlin run tomorrow? I was thinking of going down for breakfast to boyd and wurthmann on main st. Just because I like to seek out local establishments and patronize. Im in akron and will probably head down 241 through massillon.

  4. Waterproof pants with armor

    in LBTS GLWS

    Posted

    Bubba's right, it's hard to call anything "waterproof", so water resistant is more accurate.  I just copied the title from the website.  They are a bit thicker, but there is a removable quilted lining.  Riding in warmer temps would not be recommended.  I bought thinking I would wear over my work pants to work so I wouldn't have to change, but I found changing out of jeans to be more convenient for me.  

  9. Swingarm stand

    Just a basic swingarm stand as you can see in the pic.  Originally bought from harbor freight and I do believe they make spool attachments, but never searched since it was used on a spool-less CBR250.  Widest width is approx 9.5" and narrowest is 5".  Pick up in portage lakes (not literally), make an offer...

  10. unOFFICIAL FALL Epic Ride - Saturday September 27

    in Events

    Posted

    I love this idea!  I couldn't make it Sat due to time constraints and I knew the ride would be all day.  Now, over a weekend would be perfect.  Stay the night and camp or just pop in for a few hrs each day, go for a couple rides and just hang out.

     

     

    If I had to design from scratch, an event, that

    more riders could enjoy, and would be willing

    to attend, I would add shorter, multiple rides

    of various interests, and make the event

    appealing to a much larger segment of the

    motorcycling world, over an entire weekend.

     

     

    What say ye?  I'm excited about the idea of an

    event, with a more relaxed atmosphere, and one

    that would appeal to a larger crowd, to

    riders from the four corners of the state, and

    beyond.  We don't have to do it all at once, but

    over time, several new ideas could be implimented

    and tried out to gauge their success.

  13. Garmin Nuvi 40 GPS

    in Other Stuff

    Posted · Edited by OH650R

    Bought March of this year and didn't use it as much as I thought I would.  Windshield suction cup mount and car charger included.  $60 for all

     

    Ram mount cradle specific for the Nuvi 40.

    Stem mount.  Obviously I had to cut the rubber piece to fit my bike (Ninja 650) so a replacement will probably be needed if this kind of mount is your intended purpose.  I will have to search, but I think I still have the other pieces that came in the kit.

  14. Wife looking for first bike, suggestions?

    in Daily Ride

    Posted

    I'll have to agree with the 250/300 as the best starter, only because that's what I started on (2011 CBR250).  Sure, I wanted to buy a more powerful and faster bike but I had never ridden a street bike before.  I applied some common sense to what the possible outcome would be on the street if I panicked  and got myself into trouble.  I figured a 250 is lighter, more manageable and more forgiving.

     

    I had 3900 miles of fun that year and one of the best summer's I've had in a long time.   I never felt overwhelmed or out of control; it truly was a perfect starter bike in my eyes.  I still have it and have wanted to sell it after getting my Ninja 650, then I'd go for a ride and change my mind.  I've gone back and forth several times.

  17. Just got back from test-riding a 2010 Ninja 650R

    Barring any major flaws like bent/broken critical pieces or cracked welds, I think $2500 is a good deal.  Since you would save a few bucks, you can always buy sport bars for around $150 for the 650 that'll probably give you the seating position you're looking for.  I love the more upright position on my 650 though.

     

    So, did you end up buying it?

  20. Bilt riding gear

    in Reviews

    Posted

    I bought my daughter a Bilt jacket, helmet and gloves, she's almost 11.  I did research, read reviews and all 3 seem good to me and trust they will protect her in the event we ever crash (God forbid).  I don't ride far with her and generally less than 35-40mph.
