no problem ma'am

I was bitchin' about cruiser pipes earlier, but perhaps it was taken wrong. I love the sweet sound of pipe just like the next motorcyclist; however, what I don't like is when I'm two feet from a bike that's being revved for NO DAMN REASON! You can have the loudest bike ever for all I care, just don't blast it within arm's reach of me. Is it too much to ask that the biker wait until I'm not close enough to the pipe to feel the air blast with each rev? That's all I ask...just a smidge bit of courtesy.

A twistie route from Cincy to Columbus? I believe you speak of a mythical route. Go to mapquest and pick the road that has the most squiggles. Happy hunting!

I lived in Sycamore land, near the edge of Mason. I've taken 22 to 62 and that dumps you back at 71 near Grove City. I take it sometimes, just because it's a more entertaining drive than 71 for 1.5 hours. It takes a smidge longer, but nothing major. Since you'd be coming from the West side, you'd probably want to pick up the highway for a bit, jump off on a back road, then pop back on for a little variety. For you, it could also work to take 4 to 63 to 42...maybe? Those are my guesses.

First off, that chick is f'n delusional if she thinks your bike can support her. Anyone with a bit of common sense should be able to question that scenario, but maybe that just tells you she's in denial about her actual size. If ever there were a time to invest in a cowl, this would be it. Put it on the bike and just give up on the idea of giving co-worker rides for quite some time. Otherwise, tell her "You break it, you bought it" and ask for cash up front when she shows up for her ride. That's a tough thing to handle. Good luck!

Easy, just move up here (Columbus area) where all the riders reside. That'll solve your riding group situation.

I know EXACTLY where that is, but welcome south-western ohioian (sp?)

That ^ was hilarious.

Oh geez, I forgot about the cruiser's and their OBNOXIOUSLY loud pipes. You'd think every damn cruiser at bike events were just about to stall with the way some of those asses rev those suckers. I just want to run off and kick their tailpipes when they do it right next to me too. BAH!

Ha ha ha that scooter thing cracks me up because it's so true. That happened to us just last weekend. I also don't feel obligated to dual-purpose riders, but maybe that's just me.

Thanks so much fireman! That'd be a lot cheaper than some of the other options I've seen tonight online. I could meet you whatever day would work for you...at that shopping center area with Target and stuff. You're the one doing me the huge favor, so I wouldn't make you cart them up my way too! Thanks so much! Just let me know what works for you.

Ok, I'm up by the Kroger near 16 and Watkins.

Oh fabulous fireman! Let me know what you find out. The road I went down on Eagle was Bis Road SW, just south of Lancaster. Look up Hughes Cycle and I literally went down 50 feet past the end of their driveway. It was a sweet road as far as twisties, but once you get past the correctional facility there's patchwork and gravel here and there. Still fun. Where are you in Pataskala Eagle? I might need some help putting the rear brake lever back on.

Yeah, I can definitely think my ego took the worst damage. I feel like such an ass! The bike is ok. The fairing is scuffed a bit, but I only really need to replace the mirror and brake pedal. Anyone know where the best place to score these two items would be? I probably won't even fix the fairing. I'll just claim that it's my stunt bike ha ha. I hear ya Walther on the shoulder pain. I think I jammed it hard when I hit or something. Yowza...I feel like an old lady hobbling around! Thanks for the support you guys and hope to be out riding with y'all soon!

So today I decided to take a jaunt down to a town called Revenge (don't even remind me of the irony.) I was having a great time enjoying the numerous twisties and finally decided to head on back to Pataskala. On the way back, I passed a bike shop, unfortunately, I turned my head to look at it a little too long. Next thing I know, I'm in the grass and hoping that I can just ride it out. Then, the rear tired slid out and I find myself tumbling through the grass. How embarrassing. One thing I do remember is the knock my head took even though I was in the grass. I was immediately glad I had on my helmet along with boots, pants, and a solid padded jacket. I stood up to get my bearings and removed my helmet. I see another biker, a cruiser, coming around the bend. I think, "Oh great, they'll surely stop and help out a fellow biker." I was wrong. Instead, this stupid female biker, who I now hope takes it hard up the ass from Lady Karma, merely rides past shaking her head with a disapproving look. I know she was thinking, "Serves her right for speeding through her on that devil machine." Clearly she had something against sportbike riders. No I wasn't speeding, I just have ADD and was distracted by many shiny objects. That bitch. Anyhoo, remember that bike shop? Well, it's 100 feet away, so I make the walk to ask for assistance in lifting my bike. (I knew I should have started that steroid treatment this week.) I met two great guys who were more than willing to help out the damsel in distress. They lifted it, inspected it, test drove it and made sure everything was in order...well, working order at least. A GREAT BIG thanks goes out to those guys at Hughes Cycle!!! Before rolling out, I made sure to name drop for Ohioriders.net. So, hopefully, we'll get at least a new member out of my retarded mishap. Now I'm home, the bike is garaged, and I'm feeling every ounce of pain in my hip and shoulder from my mere 40 mph landing. I'm taking beer and monetary donations. Beer to numb the pain and money...to buy more beer. Just kidding. P.S. Frame sliders come in a few short days. Damn ground shipping.

After laying the bike down today I won't be there tomorrow. Sorry boys...next time. You should check out the windy lil path down to the town of Revenge...it's awesome. Just don't get ADD like me and you'll stay on two wheels.

SCORE! :grin:

Woohoo 11:30!!

Dang...I tutor from 10-11. Hmmm, guess I'll try and move the session to a different time. Bah!

Excellent, so when I can I start stalking people with these things?

Ooo, right in Pickerington...I might have to join the ride now.

Happy B-day!

Welcome!

It was a blast today! Thanks to all that were there and made me feel welcome immediately. Hope to ride with you all again soon!

They can't make a game based off potential players that are on the team, can they? That makes no sense. What if some random individual walked on the team and ended up be kickass?
