    Making OR Great Again

    Some of you may have noticed we are dying here. While there are many things we could do I think rides are what we need to do. But we need to do them differently. We usually post up a ride, tell the noob or slow person we will wait at each corner and don't worry......that isn't going to work. For several reasons.

    One, it's no damn fun for the slow person. They are basically riding on their own. So why not do that or find folks their own speed.

    Two, even though we say and mean we don't care how slow they are or how long we have to wait at each corner it still creates stress, worry... anxiety....whatever you want to call it. And they end up pushing themselves. Maybe not dangerously but certainly above their happy zone. I know this to be a fact because it happens to me every time I ride with you. And I was told this exact same thing by a long time member here just recently. 

    So I will plan 4 or 5 rides this summer that will be slower rides and post them up. If you want to come and stay behind me cool. But you will not take off and go like hell and wait at corners and basically create the same situation. If you do, I will pair my Sena with you at the corner and shoot you.

    If 5 or 6 of us lead a few rides like this we will easily have 20+ sane social rides this season. Maybe shorter rides around the Atwood Lake area for example. And we will still have plenty of time to go like hell on other rides.

    Might help, might not. But the current course leads to a non existent OR by this time next year imnsho. 

    Count me in Tonik!  I love riding with you, each time I strengthen my skills & safety,  ride through parts of Ohio I would never see in an auto, build confidence and eat like a DBQ (Diner Bitch Queen)!

    Well darn too bad I could have had y’all rolling for days had they still been here then. 

    1. Although this is the first bike I’ll be working on I have worked on cars, quads, boats & jet skis all my life. So I have pretty good idea.

    2. I’m pretty much an asshole, and fuckery is my first language.

    3. I enjoy entertaining an audience.

    Welcome!  Well this is good to hear, because  this forum group is 90% BS and 10% actual motorcycle talk!  😜

     I have a 1998 Honda 1100 ACE Tourer and have had to learn to work on it myself, Tonik is the best and helped me out a ton.  Also, check out Skidmark Garage, a CLEVELAND DYI garage.  I’ve learned a ton there and replaced my RR and wiring.  Tons of helpful and knowledgeable folks with 16+ work stations with all tools and equipment  one would need to work on any bike.  You can become a member or rent a station by the day.

  19. Coolant leak at cross bar

    Hi, it was recommended by Tonik that I share a post I started on my Honda 1100 ACE tourer forum to get input from this group.  I have a 1998 Honda 1100 ACE with 25,912 miles on her.

    I have a small coolant drip coming from the cross bar and need to replace the old O rings.  Has anyone here made this type of repair?  See pics of what I posted on the T-Forum.  Any input or advice is welcome with minimal jackassery is appreciated 😉

    I don't like ringing doorbells without being expected. It gives me anxiety, because not everyone is on my schedule. I do not want to cause stress for someone's home. Home should be free from anything you have not invited. 

    Pauly you’re schedule is definitely whacked!

    Correct me if I am wrong, but about 10 yrs ago the “pace” was considered  the Bible for street riding. Seeing no unnecessary red light of brakes in group rides used to be considered good as in people are setting corner speed right and going smooth etc 

    These days “trail braking+ following pace” is the best combo. Advise is to start using trail braking even in routine street rides and not only in track. Which makes a lot of sense. Smooth and gradient input on brakes and then modulating it to your advantage. 

    I think problem with gold wing is the the initial bite felt very heavy ? as in almost more than 50% of the braking seems to come in as a big chunk with slightest input and then it slow and gradient. 

     

    Thanks for posting this video, I really like Cannon Chasers content.👍
