yeah, I'll be out. Don't know where too yet but it should be a great day.

Oh for sure, wouldn't want to own it, but a weekend rental would be fun.

Saw a Slingshot the other day in Westerville and talked with the owner for a sec as he and the boy were headed into a store. Very cool machine, not a bike, but I'd sure like to have a day or two with one. Katie sure like it!

Yep, tomorrow's supposed to be nice too.

Agree, I'd not be too interested in leasing/financing a toy.

Not much there... Found a pair of boots I brought back, but a pretty meager selection. 5 sets of leathers, a bunch of no-name helmets, some gloves, but nothing that appealed to me. Parts were basically tossed in a pile. Wouldn't go back, haha But riding 7 hours in sub-freezing temps was an adventure and a test of my cold gear. Found my weak spot: my damn toes froze!

Just stopped for gas about 70 miles away. I'll post up any sweet deals... Sunday should be awesome for sure!

I'm thinking of riding down to Louisville tomorrow to see what they have in the scratch and dent department. Not looking for anything in particular, maybe an exhaust or a set of leathers. Who knows... Just wondering if anybody has been down there and what their thoughts were. It's a 3 hour ride for me and could spend the day in Hocking but thought it'd be fun to try to score some gear cheap.

I have a short ride to work, so if there isn't ice/snow on the road I can do it pretty easily into the 30s with heated grips.

Sure did, took mine out for a little ride and took the wife's out for a spin with the new tire mounted. I'll be riding tomorrow, shouldn't be freezing again until Tuesday.

It's a 2007. Yep, two bros pipes, way way loud! Not a 2-1, a pipe for each cylinder... Also has some LED lights along the body. Not my thing at all, but whatever, easy to take off if Katie doesn't end up liking them.

Finally got this to work?

Very cool, I'll be playing with this for a while now!

I think the price was right but more importantly I think she's happy.

haha It'll give me some time to clean it all up and get it ready for spring. But yes, it will suck to look at it all winter!

+3 on Hoblick, did my FJR this year, bringing my wife's new Ninja up as soon as the tire gets in.

Well, just picked up a 2007 Ninja 500... I'll put up a pic tomorrow with the proud new owner! Thanks for the suggestions, she's a happy camper.

I work in a job shop and we get walk-ins all the time. I'm in Columbus, shoot me a PM if you want to bring it by.

Sorry, Tapatalk didn't show the whole title for me...

What size are they?

Nice video, thanks for posting.

Yeah, thanks, Wolfman1, the signs were real nice, it was good to see you before the ride. In regards to my riding difference from the spring to now... I was coming from a Nighthawk 750 and just got the FJR about 2 weeks before the Spring Ride. I was hanging on for dear life in medium-fast! haha Put on about 6500 miles on since then, so I'm glad it's not all been a waste!

Hang onto it for next year for me. No worries, it was a great day.
