Put down 300 miles of twisty roads with a couple rookie ish riders. Kinda cool to see the fellas getting more comfortable on the bikes and confident with there lines. Looks like West Virginia woulda been a lot more fun but couldn’t get away for 2 days.

They should probably put an import tariff on bikes larger than 700CCs.

This could work. R6 eco boost anyone?

If my big brother wasn’t coming in town I’d love to chase you south looks like a good route. Speed safe hopefully I make the next one. 

Yep. Not hard to guess where I’m from is it.

Shouldn’t be any damage control. The officers handling of a man in cuffs was obviously excessive. Why’s it so hard for a police department to own it and say they got a fuck up in there ranks.

Nope. Has zero to do with the end result. Four officers couldn't control one man without killing him?

I’ll agree with that.

Who is condoning the violence of looters? 

The news calls them “outraged citizens” They’re criminals. I’m not talking about protestors. That I get. Definitely some shit broke but the person from the shop on the 911 call had faith that someone was coming to help. 

I just don’t get this double standard. For whatever reason that cop lost his shit and some poor fella died in handcuffs. Should never happen. Courts will decide what he’s guilty of but he should be held responsible for his actions. I don’t understand why everyone feels the need to look the other way or make excuses for those hundreds of people who also lost there shit and loot business, vandalize, set fires and all such shit. They should also be held accountable for there actions as well. Yes it would be great if cops that see bad actions by other officers would report them. But does anyone expect the guy dragging a Tv, Xbox, and a bag of dog food out of target to report the guy in front of him that cleaned out the jewelry counter. 
I just don’t get it. It’s like justifying burning down my neighbors house because I’m pissed off at my brother in law. Makes no sense to me.

Is this right off 40?

Yep. New Concord 

Wrong way sign

I was pissed the sale had sold out by the time I got to it. Feeling better about it now. 

That’s just wrong.

Officially christened. This is a spot that I've literally taken hundreds of shots of my bikes over the years. In New Concord now getting gas. 

She's running awesome nothing has fallen or or loose. Not bad considering 5 days ago she was a skeleton.

Thought I saw you rolling thru AEP

Smoked the clutch in the zrx. Slipping like a bitch once it’s wrapped up. Knew I shoulda looked in there when I had the bike tore down.

Fuck the guy that thought this was a good idea. I will find him.

 

 

Looks like it’s the same guy that designed the Connie

Everything I read pointed to 5 qts. I let it sit for about 10 minutes before I rechecked it. I had it leveled on the side stand with 2x4s. With 5.5(ish) qts, the oil is about 2/3 up the safety hashes. I wasn't about to add more until I checked it in the am. It may have just under 5.5 qts. I never go by any amount a manual recommends.. even the service manual. I always defer to the dipstick or sight glass. 

I will report my findings in the morning. Thanks, Jim. 

Should be close. My vaquero took 5 and change. Hated checking it. That dipstick gets hot as hell. 

It’s official. Due to the danger of the corona pandemic and orders imposed by our governor. My facility is moving to a 24/7 work week. Management has found a loophole. Apparently painting sheet metal is essential to life. 

Got it dirty. My first ride of the year. Everything seems as it should but only 60 miles.

If DeWine makes your blood boil

I honestly thought his early decisions were well thought out. It took a lot of balls to close schools and bars/restaurants. Made sense. All medical folks agree on the fact that if you eliminate contact the virus dies. At some point hopefully public health will Trump the almighty dollar and we can all move past this. Hopefully! There are many people that don’t work because they’d rather not and lots of others that have been told not to go work. I’m not convinced that all these people lining up in front of Sam’s club before they open to buy all the toilet paper and eggs is the answer. Mostly just makes sure the shelves are empty when the rest of us get there after work.

I have found Mike DeWine's daily press conferences to be a calming and reliable source of the status of the disease. Neither he nor Dr. Acton sugar-coat anything.

Honestly I find them infuriating. They talk about everyone being home together. Preventing spread and being safe. Who are they talking about. Most of us are living in a different world. Are the folks at gas stations, grocery stores, ups,usps,fedex and factories immune to covid-19? As other states shut down big business we here in Ohio are ramping up. Pennsylvania has also shut down manufacturing now. In there 30hr period given to close our sister plant churned out over 60 truckloads of raw material to our Ohio plant that will push us to 24/7 operation. Corporate lawyers already preparing arguments to side step any Ohio shut down. They’ve already managed it in California. My wife works in hospital administration and has been working 13hr days 6 days a week. Healthcare workers connected to non-essential procedures are being strung along as well. Offered work 2 days a week so after paying for insurance and such barley bringing home a pay check and preventing them collecting unemployment. This is cheaper for hospitals than filling open jobs with permanent staff and letting others just stay home. It also puts many more at risk. The positive case numbers are a joke. Locally folks that are very sick are tested for flue and other illness and if they are negative there assumed to have covid-19 and sent home. Testing is only being done if you’re sick enough to require hospitalization. The whole thing seems to be a shit show. 

Maybe that fella is just really big. Tank looks pretty small as well. 

One project nearly done. Other up on its wheels. Next years project may be adding on to garage.

That’s pretty sweet. You do great work. How long before you will sell this one?

Thanks. Normally I’d say as soon as I need the room for another project  I get super bored in the cold months. However this ones been around a long time and my wife would loose her shit if I ever sold it. This is the red bike I’ve been riding for years. Currently building one for my son as well so that should keep me entertained.
