-
sounds good. ive got some stuff to do at 5, but it should only take about an hour you probably have seen me at OSU, i try to ride there as much as humanly possible so i dont have to pay like 7 dollars a day to park my car.
-

-
what time you leaving? and fromwhere?
-
you should have asked what the legal limit of darkness is for sunglasses.
-
i didnt read all 8 pages. but i agree thats fucking retarded to pull you over for that... serpico did some great police work there by pulling you over
-
maybe they got scared by all the power
-
ive had mixed experiences with them, but i really try not to go there unless its a last resort and you have 2 weeks to wait for your part.
-
^ yes, and before that it was called "the scoreboard".
-
you can still speed... just slow down for the 2 miles when you start to see hash marks on the side of the road. and yes, they love to get tailgaters this way, because its something that they really cant stop people for very often because its so hard to spot.

anyone going? im going to try to go up on saturday since i have to work on sunday. my buddy is riding up from florida on his triumph ST1200 that weekend too, so we will probably roll up there together. if anyone from here is going, maybe we can get a little group ride together or something?
-
it said an accident between a motorcycle and car... maybe some dickbag didnt look and pulled out in front of him ?

met up with gregg at taco bell, got rained on, rode up to delaware, came back and met up with skip and his buddy at taco bell, i hung out for a few, then left them there and i came home... i gotta work tonight anyway :-\ my bike was acting kind of funny too... twice i turned it off and it wouldnt start again... eventually got it going both times though, although the second time, i didnt think it was going to go... i think i got a short in the system somewhere... gotta break out the old multimeter. i had to leave it running while we talked to skip and his buddy at taco bell, i didnt wanna have to push it home lol. weird thing is, once i got home, i turned it off, then tried to start it and it fired right up... weird... i think the clutch switch is going bad. but i digress. i had fun (other than getting rained on) and it was cool to meet up with you guys. maybe next time i wont have to work and can stay out later oh yeah, skip, i tried to send you an email back from my phone like 5 minutes after you sent me yours... my apologies if you didnt get it... sometimes my phone is kind of wonky.

the paint was shite on my bike. the tank was blue with a pink stripe (lol), the side covers were white, the rear end was spraybombed black, the front fairing and front fender are a dark british racing green :? my buddy would have called it a "crayola" bike lol. anyway, i used this duplicolor truck bedliner spray... like 6 bux at wally world... turned out pretty good, and its pretty resistant to scratches and stuff like that. i gave it a few extra coats in the areas where it gets scratched most: where my keys dangle onto the tank, and at the back where my zipper, belt buckle, etc hit it. im trying to emulate the ZX6R chin pit with that dent on there i took off the upper cowling, fairing stay, headlight and gauges. all of that weighs about 20 pounds, with 15 of it being the gauges/stay/headlight assembly. front end is way lighter now. i like it although no more wind protection, but i live in german village, so most of my riding is in downtown and campus areas, so i dont really care. then i installed a headlight off of a buell. the cheapest dual headlights i could find online were like 150. and they had to be shipped from germany :roll: i got this whole assembly from buell for like 70 bucks. i mounted it with these brackets i got at iron pony. they were 10 dollars in the harley section. i sprayed them with the bedliner too, although it doesnt seem to adhere well to chrome. its kind of peeling off in one spot. i may take em off and scuff them a bit then hit em again... the buell lights have screw holes on the bottom (actually its the top. i mounted it upside down ) i had some nuts and bolts lying around and found some that would fit... albeit they are a bit long. maybe ill splurge and go to lowes and spend 97 cents for some shorter ones i need to get some turn signals, and ill probably mount those in the front holes, and then try to tuck the wires away. since my mirrors were gone, i got this CRG mirror. very high quality part. the mirror is very clear, and the box says it will stay put to 130 lol. i dont really plan on testing that out, but ive ridden around a bit with it, and it hasnt moved at all. it doesnt even vibrate. i got this gauge to put on still. im trying to find a stock wiring harness for the gauges, so i dont have to cut my harness and i can just plug it in. this thing is pretty cool too... it tells you everything except the winning lottery numbers (gotta see what i can do about that). speed, rpm, time, odometer, trip odometer, neutral light, hi beam indicator, turn signals, oil light. the only thing it DOESNT have it a temp gauge... i may just go get a small autometer one and mount that... it was too black when i looked at it... so i put a sticker on the coolant tank that i got at deal's gap also put this ohio sticker on the back end. cuz you know... i gotta rep the o-h yo! im gonna get some new bars still, cant decide if i want to get motox bars, or clip ons. i still gotta do something about the green fender, and get some turn signals for the front and mount that gauge. also im gonna figure something out about that rear fender... other than that though, im happy, and the bike runs like a top. i went -2 on the front and its got a TON of low end grunt... probably tops out at about 100 now but w/e thats still fast enough to send me to the pokey. thats it!

nice cars:) i like the 350, but that supra is really sharp
-
im free from right now until about 8 or so... if anyone wants to get together (and you dont mind riding with a 500 ) post up here, or you can email me jrogers2@tmail.com it will come straight to my phone
