Yeah I know..it was a last minute thing and I procrastinated all night. Next time. Look like today and tomorrow are questionable as ar as rain goes. We'll see.

Don't sweat it. After $300, I have a new set of car keys. Long story...had to buy the keys (Cadillac)..pay for the programming...and pay for the flat bed tow from my house. I was NOT a happy camper.

I know it's late..but the rain stopped. Anyone gettin out?

Only Gixxer robots would jack a Kawasaki thread. Are we trying to compensate for something?!?! It's all good.

Don't worry...I'll make him see the light...and smell my exhaust.

Amen. To me, the wind in my face is not worth not seeing my son graduate. It's your choice...but if you choose to be without, you may want to consider the kind of position you will put your family and friends in if something happens.

oops...thread jack. Sorry bout that.

Hey..I've got a ZX10 that takes offense to that comment! Bring it on!!!

I don't think anyone was sweating the directions. I think we all had a good time and I was just happy it wasn't raining. I say a road trip to Cbus soon is in order real soon. I'm down!

Thanks to everyone that made the ride. I hope we can do it again real soon. And no, I didn't find my damn keys this AM. It sucks when I don't know exactly where I dropped em. I even had a police escort this AM! If anyone is down for a mid-week no rain romp, let me know.

Another Internet Gangster. You are entitled to your opinions...but really....'cram them right up your ass'??? Way to get your point across.

Let's do it @ 3. This will give R1 some time to join after his golf outing. Same meet up place..QSL is Sheffield. I'll edit the first post.

People don't realize how frail the human body is. Anything faster than walking speed can potentially kill you. 5, 10, 30 MPG doesn't sound fast, until you've hit the ground head first. Glad to hear you're OK.

We were leaving at noon, but the weather forcast is not looking good at all. If anyone can go scout today, I would advise it. We're thinking of maybe leaving around 2.

Then double up with some long sleeves. it doesnt match armor, but at least its something.

Guys/Gals: it's not looking too good for Sunday. Rain. I know this is short notice...but I think a ride scout for Saturday is probably going to happen. So, in the chance we get rained out, Saturday may be the actual ride. PM me with your phone # if you haven't already, if you can make it tomorrow. I know it's last minute..but these things happen.

I love the Dale Earnhardt analogy. "The helmet broke his neck and killed him". No stupid, hitting the wall at 200MPH killed him.

Guys/Gals: We can choose to wear a lid or not...but we don't own the road. Yes, we pay taxes and all that for upkeep...blah blah...but we as riders do not legally 'own' the road. The government does. If the government says "We want you to wear a helmet because it prevents fatalities, which in turn keep insurance rates down, which in turn free EMS up for other critical care calls, which in turn...blah blah blah", then they can do that if enough people want it to happen. Riding a bike without a helmet is not some sort of birthright. Nothing is stopping you from riding in the back woods somewhere without a helmet...but when you ride on public roads you are talking about a totally different animal. I'm jumping all over the place here...and I'm not trying to tell anyone what to do. All I guess I'm saying is...it's a f#cking helmet..not a chastity belt or a damn straightjacket. It's meant to protect your dome. It's not like the government is trying to HARM you, they're really protecting you from yourself. And before anyone starts...I was hit from behind back in May. 17 year old chick on a cell phone. I was making a right turn and she was behind me....but she didn't stop. She plowed right through my back tire and threw me for a high side. I was ejected from the bike ..backwards.. and I hit the ground. Head first. My helmet, without question, saved my life. Yeah, you can choose not to wear one, but if you would take that kind of a chance with your life (and not only YOUR life...what about your family and friends that have to deal with your scrambled remains?!?!) when you could wear something that would greatly reduce the chance of injury, that says a lot about what kind of person you are. I don't know about you guys, but riding a bike is dangerous enough, and I have way too much to lose.

thomez: No member left behind. If the front runners get ahead, we will periodically wait up for the pack. walther: we plan on stopping in ashland for grub at BW3

Speed is fine The stunting draws too much attention and ends up causing more accidents than anything else. I'm sure we will get up some speed more than a few times on in the country. I just want everyone to keep it on two wheels.

Yeah I'm gonna head up there for a little bit. I'm trying to leave work in a few minutes...go home, change, and hit QSL around 7:30-ish. Call/txt me when you get there.

EVERYONE (except knuckle heads) are welcome. Even the knuckle heads are welcome as long as they behave themselves when they ride with us. The goal of this is to get everyone comfortable riding together..with the eventual aim of starting a group for purposes just like this. Riding alone isn't any fun!

Agreed. We sorta got off topic here.

That is a safer way of braking during a turn. The safest way is to never brake during turns.
