Just following up on this in case anybody is curious. I went back and read the posting for the sale. In the original posting he very clearly stated that he had clear OH title in his name. He said that he would get it cleared up but I didn't hear back from him so I am going to hard pass just because it's not giving me a warm and fuzzy feeling. Fuck it...the wife is getting a coffee maker and some socks for Christmas. I'll keep looking for the right deal.

So I found a bike that will work for the wife. I asked the seller about the title. It's notarized but not in his name. From a quick read it appears that this technically isn't legal. It's not an expensive ride but I don't need the headaches. Buy or Pass?

That would be the ULTIMATE homer gift.

The 250 would be good from a weight perspective but I'm concerned that that the first time that the big bikes run away on a ride she will get pissed and go home. She's probably 5'7 and 120ish. I must be looking in the wrong place. I haven't seen any deals on the bigger shadows unless they are beat.

I found a super low mileage 2012 Honda Rebel 250. I'm tempted to pick it up and let my wife ride it for a season until she figures out if she likes being on two wheels or not. She likes cruisers so any kind of sport or naked bike is out. Options 1) 2012 Rebel. $2000 obo ??? Not sure what I can get it for. 2) Look for something bigger that I wouldn't mind riding if she doesn't take to it. Maybe a Shadow or Sportster or ??? 3) Say fuck her and save up for a Vmax.

A couple of high school friends bought two of these (1200 cc then) right out of high school. I went on to college so I didn't have the $$$. By the time I did have some disposable income I spent it all on cars and guns. I keep saying that this will be my next bike but I don't know if I'll ever have an extra $18K lying around. Maybe I can find a low mileage used version. It's hard to justify when there are so many bikes that are almost as fast for less money.

Thinking about upgrading to a Sena 30K. My 10S battery won't make it though a day without a top off at lunch.

No love here. A friend of mine is getting married in Cinci that day.

I just got home. I didn't do any demo rides. The indoor show was pretty decent. I was hoping to see some of the big helmet brands there but not so much. I was in and out pretty quickly since I was solo. I'm an selectively introverted asshole so I didn't talk to many vendors. Booth babes were almost non existent. I guess they were going for the family friendly vibe. The only real disappointment was the fact that Yamaha didn't bring a Vmax. I want one of those in the worst way for no good reason other than nostalgia and to maybe do a rolling burnout though my neighborhood.

I'm heading to the show in a few minutes. Still debating if I ride the bike or take the truck not that it matters to anybody but me.

Thanks

I'd like to head over tomorrow morning. I was going to take my son but he is having a fit because it will cut into his video game time.

@what How was the show? Is it worth the trip and the $$?

Has anybody seen a promo code for tickets? I'm thinking about heading over there tomorrow.

I tried Fi for 30 days. Compared to Sprint it was an improvement which makes sense because it's 3 (Sprint, T-Mo and USC) carriers bundled together. The deal killer was the fact that it there is no signal where I work. They only have Verizon repeaters installed. The alternative was to camp out on corporate guest Wifi all day long but I wasn't excited about being monitored. Google VPN wasn't reliable and 3rd party VPN was a pain in the ass. . It wasn't riding season yet so I didn't get to test it outside of the metro area. I'm guessing Verizon would win there. I'll deal with it until I change jobs. I also looked at the MVNOs. They were cheaper but they had restrictions like data caps, speed caps or other issues that made them less attractive.

I watched a couple of youtube videos while I was bored today. This looks interesting but they don't make a kit for my bike to even worry about.

All six of us that are left!

I haven't done it for the past twenty years because I have lived in medium sized metro areas. I don't think that I have ever (8 years) seen somebody open carry in Cbus that weren't' marked LE. It wasn't common in Indianapolis either. I don't expect that it's any different now. The point is that gun owners shouldn't be shitting all over each other for legal choices. The cartoon was a poorly executed jab at Midget Todd for calling folks Rambo and attention whores.

You bring up a good point here. I tend to weigh myself every morning while I am waiting for the shower water to heat up. Maybe I should only weigh myself once per week.

I'm still at 1.5 miles of walking per day. I made a little bit of progress on the weight. Starting Monday I'll try to bump things up to two miles per day. I'd really like to start working some resistance training into the mix.

I haven't open carried in a long time (20 years) but just because I don't chose to do it doesn't make it wrong. If more people chose to open carry on a regular basis maybe the little snowflakes wouldn't freak out every time that they see a pistol.

I've stalled out at about 225. I've been stressed the fuck out so that certainly doesn't help. I started walking again after work. Right now I'm only doing 1.5 miles at a time to get back in the swing of things. I'll start bumping the distance up by 1/2 mile per week or so until I hit 4 or so.

I'm back in the fat camp game. Due to a job change, family stuff and a death in the family I fell off the wagon hard. I stepped on the scale and made Baby Jesus cry. So far I'm down to 228 from 248. I really need to be about 200. 1) Diet is under control 2) I need to gradually ramp up my activity level. So far I've been failing miserably in this area.
