Just to update this, I received the Airstream II gloves as an upgrade, but I did not like them at all(Fitment was completely different than the Rodneys), so they were happy to send a new pair of Rodneys once they got them in stock. I got my new gloves Monday and couldn't be happier.

Bigger windhshield and it handles corners at speed, sounding like a sport-tourer...

Nice looking bike! I'm jealous.

Looks like you broke it in the right way. Im gonna have to get myself something for the dirt one of these days...

I just got the same type deal on a set of Pirelli's. Bought two tires and a couple weeks later I got a $50 gift card.

Its funny you say that, cause he sold his EX500 to get something else. I've made some impractical bikes worthy of long rides and a throttle lock or cruise control is a necessity IMO.

Awesome, I live about 20 minutes from Marietta. Where's your route going Saturday?

That bike is sexy! Too bad I can't afford two bike payments right now. Someday, I will have a garage with more than one bike in it.....

Thanks for all the input guys. We have found two likely candidates. A 99 BMW R1100RT and a 04 Suzuki Vstrom. The Vstrom looks really nice, but has high miles. He is leaning towards the BMW, which has half as many miles and an amazing service record.

Thats what I have been saying. When you get up to around $3000, your options widen a good bit.

Hey guys, I got a buddy looking for either an Adventure or Sport Touring bike. He had a sport bike and is now ready for something comfortable to log some miles. He is on a tight budget ($2000 tops). Any recommendations what to look for? He would like to find a Concours or ST1100, but we have not had any luck in that price range. I was thinking maybe an FZ6, Vstrom, or VFR?

I usually soak the entire bike with a water hose. Lay a soaked absorber chamois over the windshield and nose. Wash the rest of the bike with soap and wash mit. Then come back to the nose and remove the chamois. Bugs wash off with no effort at all. I wax usually every 4-5 washes.

I got a new set of wheels for my truck mounted.

I think Ohio needs a 5th season....Rain Season

This is great, 78 was due for a repave.

Wow that looks almost identical to my old F4i. That's the best paint/graphic scheme IMO. GLWS

Big Guy's MX School at Fly MX Park used to have classes. I don't know if they still do it or not. Their website isn't working, but there is a phone number on their facebook page.

LOL, mine's about the same. (Depending of the twist of the wrist, of course)

When you havent put gas in your car in over a month, you might be riding a good bit.

I shoot mainly trap at local clubs down here in SEO. I just use a 30 inch full choke Remington 870 for trap. O/U or Auto for Sporting Clays. Briar Rabbit is a great place to shoot, just be prepared to walk some hills.

I don't know if you want another YZF600, but there is one here local for cheap. http://parkersburg.craigslist.org/mcy/5078735674.html

Man, the inspection center in Jackson Ohio is way more strict. I totaled my truck 6 weeks after I painted it and had to get a rebuilt inspection. I painted over the vin stickers on the doors and the inspection center was ready to take my doors, since I didn't have a receipt for them (Never damaged in crash). It took a bunch of convincing to talk them out of it.

I have yet to see any local shop offer Held gloves. I shop local for parts, but gear isn't that easy. I got a call from Held/Schuberth today, and the gloves are on back-order and mine were not repairable.. At first, I was bummed, but then they said I could upgrade to a different set of gloves. So I will now be receiving a pair of Held Airstream II's. Overall, I am happy with the outcome. From what I interpreted, they are dealing with a 3rd party repair shop and they are having issues.

I would not without consent of course.
