I just talked to Mr. Sleepy Head. He's in still unlike Steve and he's going to try to meet me and Udel at our rally point. If he's not there by the time we arrive then he's going to meet us at On The Edge.

So I think we have everyone covered and should be good to go.

Well Steve is out so I can just meet you at McD's (Broadway and RT2) around 11:15-11:20am.

Cool with you?

Puck, you picking up Justin on the way?

Boo...you suck. I call for an official two ride ban.

It's just a ride for anyone willing to pay a few dollars. You sign up and pay the money, they give you a route sheet and a ticket for some prizes and food. You do the ride, eat when you get back, and check the board to see if you won anything.

Does that help you at all or do I need to pull out my chalk and eisle for you?

Also, since it's in Amherst it would be silly for you to ride east and then back west to Amherst. I plan on meeting Steve in the morning at the PB at RT2 and 611. If you want to ride that way and meet just let us know. If not we will hop on RT2 and head your way, we figured we could just meet you McD's by Broadway and RT2. We can then just jump back on RT2 west to RT58. We should try to be there around the same time as Tod.

I certainly won't turn this into a person bashing, and thusly I will only make this one last comment. Pulling off and waiting in plain sight is one thing...pulling off and hiding then 'buzzing' everyone unexpectedly is something totally different. If you knew what he was doing then you would certainly have to agree it was not called for. I told him not to do it again and that was that.

So, we can officially close that.

Now, I'm down for a group outing EVERYONE included (we are all friends) and enjoy the ride as such and have fun. I just hope I have 100 miles left in my tire.

I have known him for quite a long time as well. I have ridden with him probably more than you have Puck. To say he doesn't sucker you in is one thing because he knows of your ability and it's no fun for him. I have been present when he starts to say stuff that would otherwise not be needed to not so experienced riders. He would try to sucker me in for a long time, and having a level head I didn't let him get to me. Some one not so level gets pulled in. Do I hate him, hell no. He is a very fast rider in his own rights. Is he 'the jinx'? I think the jury is still out on that one.

When on a ride down RT60 last year I made it very clear I was not going to be up front because I will not ride at that pace with him. So instead he gets way out front, pulls off to hide and then 'buzzes' everyone to get in front again. Okay, so he was having fun. But when he does it again and I'm riding in THE very back doing my own thing working on my own skills he decides to sneak up on me after one of his little pull offs. I for one, like I do on most spirited rides, do not worry about looking in my mirrors much (mind you I'm at the end of the group). Out of no where, he goes around me on the outside of a right hander. Was it necessary, hell no. I was in the back, there should have been NO ONE behind me and as such not very cool at all. I held my line and he made the pass and was gone a couple corners later.

Could I be making this into more than it needs to be, maybe. But I've ridden with a lot of people just as much as I had with him and never ever has some one wound up injured in any way. So to say he is not responsible for causing others mishaps is still IMO not entirely true.

So, you got a reply from me...like it or not. I do honestly like Greg, but I just wish he would tone down the 'show off' stuff at times. It's not necessary and why not use his riding abilities to show others how to be better instead of talking smack all the time. He IS by far one of the fastest street riders I know...period.

I will still go to the ride, but I'm going to guess that since he is going that he more than likely has the typical 'meet at his place' thing setup with a bunch of other guys none of us have ridden with. I'll hook up with Steve, pick up Udel on the way and then be out before Noon and see you there.

I think we're in, just need to make sure to be up there before Noon. I'm going to ping Justin when I get back in to town from ATL...fuckers keep changing my damn gate!!

So you're still going to with the Sig...okay. You have been warned! LOL! I'm sitting in Hotlanta right now wait for my flight home....3 more hours....AAARRRGG!!!

I'll give you a call when I hit the ground up there.

Perhaps one of the most well-constructed works of prose that I've seen on the board! Good Work!!

I'm sure he'd let you blow him since you to have the same bikes.

I heard you twin guys like to do that kind of stuff.

Nice wordsmithing there Steve!

Sure...why not. Did you call FFF to see if they had what you wanted? I could do whatever. I'm just ready to get home, been on the damn road for 2 weeks straight.

Well, he always seems to have this unimaginable ability to get some younger riders in over their heads and no good has ever come of it.....EVER. I saw a good friend (and member on here Turbo810) get into a stupid pile up, held the I.V. bag for a kid that died a couple hours later, watched an older guy wad up a Fazer and get paralized from the waist down....it goes on and on. The one single factor in every single one of them...'Rectum'.

Again, I'd probably be up for it before all of the hooligans show up. I enjoy a spirited ride just like everyone else but I don't want to be taken out by some dumbass in over his head. I'll get with Justin before Sunday and work out the details.

I thought I'd chime in on this.

As far as that fun run goes, I swore I would never ever do that run again a couple years ago. I did it for 5+ years straight and every single time someone got hurt or EVEN DIED on that run. Personally I put a lot of it on the 'Rectum' factor, but there's just too many punks that show up for that thing trying to make it into a 'Cannonball Run'. Now, if we're the first out I won't have much to worry about in front of me so we can actually do it with a little common sense. Also, they have been in the past few years giving the route out to the all the police so you have to watch what you're doing ALL THE TIME. I might...just might...be in if we can leave as early as possible.

I think it's going to rain on Sat. so you should be free. HA!

I made a post in that thread....head there and read it. Then let me know if you still want to do it.

ROAD TRIP! Let's go this weekend.

:grin::grin:

You might want to rethink your statement there Justin. If you plan on having the gun as a carry weapon or even just for the house you should get in the habit of shooting at least once a month. Practice, practice, practice...things should become instinctual for you if something were to happen.

Most of the Metro is 30 I think....maybe 35 but can't remember. You can rock a few parts of it if you start on the very northern end and head south (i.e. Rocky River off RT 2).

The problem is the cagers and the metro po-po.

I thought so also and I got the guy down another $40. Was wanting $395 and just asked what his be deal was...lucky for me it was $355 so I put $20 in my pocket since I was given $375 cash to get one. He-he. I've only been to Stonewall one time and they were okay to me.

Justin, I'm going to ask the wife to get that .357 in the pic from her step-dad. I'm not sure if he'll give it up for a weekend but we'll see. All it really does is sit in a his drawer at the factory.

All bow before the KING!!

I just got into my hotel room in Johnson City, TN. and it's already half time...DAMN IT!

Can anyone else smell that....it....smells like....yeah....it smells like a sweep! It's so strong I can smell it here in Tennessee!

I have it chambered specifically for that purpose....woman be crazy these days!

Looked it up...sorry.

Do they do tactical situational shooting or IDPA stuff at the Massillon place? I'd like more info. if you don't mind.

Here's the Taurus I picked up at the Medina Gun show. Not exactly a carry piece but still a good used gun.

I know you did...

You showed me a badass shotgun too, but I think the Browning might be better for me - I'll get a Nova pump with an 18" too for under the bed.

I just stopped at FFFO in Ashland today (I was in Mansfield for Mommas Day)... they're running specials on the SP101s ($449) and M&Ps ($499). Just having never fired a handgun in the last decade, I'd like to try some out at the range to see how different the .357 / .38 special are versus a .40. Then I was going to check prices at the Vermillon gun show later this month. Unless there's some added value of buying from a retailer like Gander or FFFO? I like the SP101s, but I really want the 3" GP in Stainless - you just can't find it anywhere. Ideally, I'd like to get something my g/f can use - in a pinch. Which makes the M&P nice because of the interchangeable backstraps - and I could make that my CCW gun... the SP is a nice size, but using it for CCW with the exposed hammer - I dunno.

There's nothing special about one place or the other when it comes to retailers, you're simply looking for the best price and of course there's the paperwork. Gunshows...you might get lucky if you're patient and no paperwork obviously. There were several GP100's at the Medina show a while ago. I can tell you right now that if you're shooting .357 Mags you might as well get a .45 ACP. .40's kick just as much also so if you're thinking the GF won't be able to use it you better plan on getting her a 9mm or something else. My wife can shoot my .45 but she doesn't do it a lot. As long as she understands the guns operates and knows how to properly sight in her target, it will get a hole put in it.

As for the GP and exposed hammer stuff, people have been carrying revolvers for a long long time. I wouldn't let that keep you from using it for the CCW. Most places won't even let or make you shot it from the holster anyway (liability risk). It will be out on a bench awaiting the instructors firing range commands, very simple and quite easy.

Tell you what...let's make a plan to head to the range. I'll bring the plinkster (.22 Neo w/ Red Dot), the FNP-9, and the PT-145. I'll give you the 9 and .45, give the .22 to your GF along with a little instruction so she know what to expect. Then we'll let her shoot the 9 and .45 so she comfortable and knows what to expect. Hell, if your folks have some land we could just road trip it down there since I could spend more time giving you some safety instruction and tips.

Give me a holla when you have some free time. I'll be down in TN this week and get home on Fri. evening.

Yeah the lorain B&T is WAY to much into glocks. I have never rented there, They look to have a few less guns there to rent then stonewall does. They offer hearing protection there for rent, but if your getting into shooting just buy a set of your own. I use push in plugs myself dont much care for the fit of the earmuffs. The pt145 is a nice gun but i own one also !LOL We should all go to the range and let you try a couple out.

Tell me about it...all I heard was 'GLOCK GLOCK GLOCK GLOCK GLOCK GLOCK'. I was just about ready to tell the dude to go blow his Glock. I have a 2nd gen. PT with the stupidly long trigger pull. Turbo810 recent bought one at B&T in Lorain and what a difference this latest gen. is. The trigger is sooo much better now. I had to take it down to see what was different and if I could upgrade mine. No dice though because the trigger assembly AND firing mechanism was completely different. I might as well just buy a new one.

Yo...I showed you a good carry gun ya goof, PT-145. I picked up a Taurus GP100 for my wifes father-in-law. Stainless with a 4 or 5" barrel (can't remember exactly) old style with out the new safety features (which is more desirable actually). Used at the gun show, no paper work, $350. Nice clean gun, also know that .357's will shoot .38 specials also but there is a hell of a difference in recoil. I don't know if the Medina shows are still going but it's a good place to start for something used.

I was at B&T not too long ago and I don't recall them having many revolvers for rent. The guys there are...well...okay. A bit bias towards one brand though...Glock. And if you really want to get a decent deal we should take a run down to Fin-Feather-Fur in Ashland, LOTS of guns new and used. You will most certainly find something there and at a decent price. I won't be home until Friday late afternoon, but give me a call if you want to drive/ride down on the weekend.
