I am very excited to bring my bike to Whaler.  He seems like a very down to earth guy and definitely loves motorcycles from what I can tell.  

Thanks Derek for the recommendation.  

Thank you Bad324 for the information and Whaler that would be helpful.  Trying to get the bike taken care of next week if at all possible.  Will be working on it Saturday and Sunday and then having my friend help me transport on Monday if I find a place or someone.

I should state what needs work.  I think the carbs either need cleaned / synced/ rebuilt, I have purchased tires and want them mounted and balanced since it will be at the shop.  Also want the chain / sprockets looked at to see if they are still good.  A few odds and ends as well.

I purchased a new bike last weekend - a 92 Honda 750 Nighthawk and it has a few hiccups that I need sorted out.  I am wanting to get it on the road but am looking for a shop or person in NE Ohio that is really good.  Any help would be appreciated as I would like to ride the bike before the seasons end.  My skills for fixing some of the issues is limited and want a professional to do the work.  I am in Medina area and have a friend who is willing to help transport the bike depending on the day I take it.  Thank you again for any info. Also willing to bring the bike to Columbus if need be.

Bike is sold.

Derek, the price is OBO, you are more than welcome to offer any price and come look at the bike. Just let me know.

I have decided to part ways with the ninja to start saving for a larger more comfortable motorcycle. I thought someone here would like to take the bike off my hands seeing that I am selling it for cheap. The bike is in great shape for its age with many new parts. Runs well and starts every time. I am asking $1,500 OBO.

I am planning to ride through out the Cuyahoga Valley and up to Lake Erie on Tuesday June 2nd.  It is my Birthday that day and I want to ride.  Granted I need to get my clutch cable put on as my old one snapped.  I know this is not much of a heads up but I thought I would post it and see if anyone would want to meet up.  I am not a fast crazy rider.  Just out to enjoy the day so anyone is welcome.  I would like to start around lunch time but that is subject to change depending on peoples inputs.  Granted I will be out all day so at any point people can meet up.  Just let me know if you are interested and we can figure it out from there.

Welcome, not to far from you.  

I am wanting to know if there are any Fabricators or Welders within this forum.  I am wanting to have an exhaust made along with part of the rear frame cut and re-welded.  I have a shop I am thinking of taking it to and asking what they would charge for this but I thought I would ask here first.  Let me know if you know anyone or know how.  Thanks.

SOLD, can close thread.

Omni, look at taking the wheels to Wheel Medic, they do all kinds of custom work on wheels.  You would need to take the wheels off the bike for them to powder coat.  Also there is a shop called Gents Wrench you could call.  Just a couple options.

Charles, what time are you planning to ride and where?

Yes, the bike has been out for a 170 mile trip so far.  Now I just need to ride more and work less.

I thought I would post a few pictures of my bike.  It is a work in progress.

Thanks everyone, Charles next time I go for a ride I will give you call/text.

Please close this thread.  Will make a new one with more information for a later date.  Thank you

I am new and just looking to meet up with some locals so just throwing the idea out there of a meet and ride. Looking to ride up to the lake through some parks I have ridden through before. I know it is short notice but it is supposed to be nice. Anyone want to go let me know.

Thanks everyone and Snot, it is good to see a familiar face.

Hey everyone, I thought I should make an account and get to know people.  Name is Brandon and I currently live up north in Brunswick but will be moving back to Columbus this summer.  I ride a 99 ninja 250 which is a blast.  Do not have any current pictures yet but will shortly.  How is everyone?  Thanks for having me.
