Added a belly pan. The reduced drag and added down force should shave a few tenths off my lap times.

 

 

 

Looks familiar 😂, dad installed one on his wing this week too.

I'll buy you lunch if you let me take your bike for a spin.  My daughters have signed off on the potential switch to the new Wing.

You might as well save yourself some time and start finding one. You’ll own one shortly after riding one 😂

Got out for a short ride today. Still getting used to the new bike and new type of riding. 

Got out and rode some gravel yesterday. Water is still high in a few places. Mainly wanted to see how my new handguards, bar risers, and pegs felt. Overall I’m super happy with the ergos of the bike.

May 14th. Meet at New Concord Marathon at 10:30. If the group grows we can switch the meetup location. I’ll create a new post soon with details. 

14th sounds good to me. I’m off work and I’ll try to make it.

I'll be in a warmer climate at that time but enjoy y'all.

Yeah I too will be intoxicated 😂

Who's the new guy? 

I never stopped scrolling through OR, just a lot less to comment on nowadays…

Well of course I can’t leave things alone, so I’ve thrown some accessories on the KLR. I had a buddy 3d print some windshield risers, threw some more aggressive pegs on, and a phone mount. I got an extended shifter lever and a flush mount drain plug coming.

Maybe instead of the Epic Spring Ride we should rename it to the Casper Memorial Ride.

Or the OhioRiders site Farewell party…

How tall is that saddle, boys?

I’m not very tall, 29-30” inseam and can touch both feet, not quite flat foot. I slightly move one side or the other and have a solid flat foot.

Well I don’t want the crickets to start chirping…

After a year or so hiatus, I am back into motorcycling. But the real question is, what did I buy???? 😁 I guess this is another guess the bike thread, maybe we can get some more activity back on this forum.

You meet the nicest people on a Honda 😂

My current driveway is barely wide enough to get one car around another, I just drop my wheels off in the yard. I still found room to get the Goldwing and a car in the garage…

Tons of room for burnouts. I like it.

Yeah driveway is massive, and about 3 minutes from 555.

The housing market is crazy.   Hopefully, I'll have a new garage(and house) in a couple more months.  

I made $20k+ on a house I lived in for 2 years. Going from 1200 sq ft to 2400 sq ft with a basement, garage, and land. Here is what I’m gonna be working with…

How long until you get another bike? 

Hard to tell, hopefully soon. We are in the process of selling our house, buying another house (Gonna be able to work on bikes again with my new garage), and I start a new job 2nd week of July. Life has been busy and I'm itching to get back on two wheels.

I've had enough with some of the frustrations with Sena.  I have a pair of Cardo Pack Talk Bolds on order.  I hope that we like them.

My dad switched to the Cardo as well. I tried his out, sound quality was amazing.

I’d say they at least owe ya a beer…

Fuck yes. You have to get a bowl of the blue crab bisque. Not a cup. A bowl.

Cash only. Do not sit down before your whole group is there...like if you are meeting other people there.

+1 on Caffe Rel, and Tonik is 100% right, go for the bowl, not the cup 😂

I was going to tell you FJR till you mentioned your height. The C14 is a tall boys bike for sure. I rode Justin's FJR a couple times and I was soooo crapped on it. I'm 6'4". The cruise can be added to the C14.  The more plug and play one is very expensive. The other options are reasonable but a pain in the dick to install. I have cruise on mine.

FJR is a little more user friendly when it comes to routine maintenance. But the C14 is a better all around drove train. (I'm my option) 

Connies can be had for stupid low prices if you dobt mind one that's a few year-old. 

Not sure if any of this helps. Between me and @Connie14 I'm sure we can answer all your C14 qiestions.

I’ve spent thousands and thousands of miles with @2talltim, me on my FJR and he on the Connie. Both bikes have never let us down and they both have their uniqueness. The Connie was not as good ergonomics for me, but I’m under 6 foot. The FJR fit me like a glove. Both bikes have plenty of power and the handle good for their size. Regardless, I don’t think you can go wrong with either bike. 

I rode 83 south of big Muskie last week and it was a blast, no traffic at all.
