i say just spray a can of expanding foam up there so it gets into all the little nooks and crannies.

Now that is a brilliant idea. I don't think it heats up like plaster and probably sets faster than silicon. If we spray some PAM in there it might not stick either.

Nice try answering half the question, sir.

In other news, I think we can call this here thread officially:hijack:

Meh, I'm thinking it's okay on this thread. It was getting a little heated.

About the super magnums, not sure if they are real.

Tony, you missed a good time but it might not have been organized enough for your taste. Hell it wasn't organized enough for mine either. All was forgiven once we started to ride. In all fairness to the Coshocton guys it's hard to prepare for the large crowd that showed up and some of the timing issues weren't their fault. They were trying not to leave anyone out from the ride even if they were making up their own schedules for the rest of us. Not gonna happen with everyone who plans a group ride. If you make it to a ride you have its full support and safety but if you arrive late, see you next time.

Udell, I’m happy for you that you are more comfortable riding that only makes you faster. If I helped you out in some way could you elaborate more about that, if it helped you out maybe it could help others as well.

I like to run a tighter ship when I'm involved with groups like this ride. Schedules are important to some people so if there are time constraints I like to give full disclosure. I am all for killing a day without an agenda when I sometimes have that luxury of time but this usually isn't the case for everyone. This will be my only comment about the failure of the Columbus crews ride to Coshocton but that shit will not be happening on my watch. I like to have a bike count and I recount at every stop. That way we know how far back to look if anyone comes up missing. This is also a two way obligation and if you are part of a group and need to leave tell someone so we don't spend the rest of the ride looking for you. The Columbus disaster could have been worse and I hope it gives us all the experience to learn from it.

The lesson was learned and we know we failed big time.

why plaster??? why not something liquid so that it doesn't get stuck in there??

You could fill a super magnum condom if you want.

well they do have tools to measure inside diameters of pipes and whatnot... i suppose one of those coooould be used... wow.

You could pack it full of plaster and then measure the volume that way

bacon?

I like bacon. nom nom nom

i think your mom figured she could fit a cell phone, 21 pencils (side by side, in a bundle), a hammer, a cigarette lighter and a pumpkin in there.

Um, okay. Not sure where that came from, but whatever.

A depth gauge...? I'm not sure that's... sanitary.

Like you have never put anything unsanitary in there.

I like the matrix movies, but next week try something like "The Usual Suspects", "Sling Blade" or "Reservoir Dogs".

i can see this thread ended up in the fuckstick section..

I see no reason for that yet.

I love riding Coshocton and Hocking and people seem to underestimate these roads. Even at a slow pace these roads can bite you.

Okay let's get back on topic ....

Riding with slow riders keeps you slow. Just look at cruiser owners.

But seriously, I like comparing my pace to others. I started out in the rear of the group but it was a little slow for my liking. I found my way to the middle of the group and liked the pace there, mostly at the front of the second pack. When we got going again, I found myself near the front with others gaining on me and determined that the front runners were way above my skill level so I dropped back again.

It's all personal choice and you have to have clear enough decision making skills to know when you're going beyond your comfort zone. I waved more than a few riders past me when I got the chance to and it didn't hurt my ego at all. They are just plain more experienced, and if it kept trying at that level things were gonna go bad.

Overall, I feel as though I went faster, I raised my comfort level with leaning the bike over, and I was challenged in ways I never have been while riding a bike.

Also , I'd just like to say sorry for anyone I may have cut off or gotten near as the pack pulled out from stopping points, things were quite crazy every time we pulled away again. I promise I have no vendetta against you, lol.

I didn't think you were all that bad big boy.

Thanks, you too.

It's hard work throwing the RC around.

I like the sound of that V4.

John was on this ride? Funny, I never saw him.

Damn Justin that's harsh.

I'm pretty sure you tried to pass him a few times but couldn't b/c his v-twin is faster.

Thanks for getting my back, though Justin the only time I was really in front of Justin was when i parked in front of him.

I agree that hill was a cliff.

I'm lucky I wasn't going faster or I would have hit that boat.

I didn't think the devil road was all that bad.

Coffee

Hmmm ... only a select few are allowed to use the RC51John mod.

I cleaned it a couple nights ago so it's good to go.

I've had that happen a few times.

crazy butler that

Um ... that's what i wrote.

Why yes, I'll be happy to apply your suntan lotion.

Please, be fueled up before you arrive at Iron Pony.

Kickstands up at 9:45.
