  1. about 11k rpm and a clutch dump would probably do it... in 1st gear, moving a few mph already never tried it though, but I did pull the wheels less than 6 inches once on accident when I got into neutral instead of 2nd and had it revved out pretty good with a hard clutch dump when I slammed it up into 2nd
  2. my guess was losing your temp permit but I really don't know it's a retarded regulation anyways

    I'm nowhere near Cleveland really (I'm an hour southeast) so don't worry about meeting up with me unless you wanted to ride this way into Amish country or whatever.

    possibly in, will know when time gets closer
  8. I was thinking about it but my buddy that normally goes with me can't go tonight, a family member is in the hospital. Not sure I want to ride up there alone.
  9. that's odd because it is the most boring flattest part of the state with likely the straightest roads as well

    Zack #2 in the house!
  11. that was sweet form if he was coming off the high dive
  12. For the target market it is the best bike around, still, after all these years. No reason to fix what ain't broke.

    If under-dressed = squid, I've been riding as a squid since I got my bike because my jacket is on backorder at Shadetree (yes I've looked elsewhere too). I should have it in like 2 weeks though, then I'll be slightly less squidly.

    I can add to #1 just because I have asked someone who does this why the fuck he does it. He doesn't put the helmet on the side though, it is under the cargo net on the back seat area... he rides without the helmet during the day but puts the helmet on at night when his head gets cold... I'm not shitting you either. Oh, and we even had bicycles wave at us yesterday... we got a good laugh out of that and decided they must have been drunk (either alcohol, or by just seeing a couple thousand motorcycles at bike night).
  15. bingo, this is something insurance companies should handle, not legislatures
  16. haha I didn't even know that, I haven't been on that site in a little while thanks for the link
  17. that sucks, but thank goodness you were geared up and rode home
  18. We're going. We'll probably get there between 7 and 7:30. Let me know where you want to meet and when or we could just meet at QSL. Exchanging phone numbers is probably a good idea.
  19. I never said if I was for or against the bans, I simply provided what he asked for.

  21. I will likely be going with my buddy. We missed last week but I think we'll be going. I need to call him I guess.
  22. sounds like a real brilliant one
