ur selling because ur friend has the same bike?......seriously???

That's why I let mine get stolen! Too many 600rr's out there!...

i got your name on my junk....who wants to see??????????????

I doubt it....unless somebody is named shit on here...

I could try...why would you need extra tires??? planning on doing burn outs waiting on me to catch up???

:lol:

you can ride behind me or in front.... I'll be riding with you, not trying to push or pull ya.... I try to match speeds with the last person in the group. and I'm down with doing a group ride with any of you that can deal with me being the sweeper, hell I'll even carry waters and extra gear for people. i definitely have the bags for it....

Can you carry some spare tires, too?

hey OR i have a small group of nekkid riders that would love to come up and ride the triple nickel and some other routes. also want to go to the ama museum iron pony. they were thinking of camping all weekend. hows thats sound. we havent set any dates. everything is up in the air.

Sounds good! I love riding naked!

Yeah, never really tried selling them though. I don't have enough posts to post stuff for sale on 600rr.net.

Aaron will post if up on there for you....won't you, Aaron?

Looks like we've got the map. Let's get a date together. May? When I have some free time I'll drive the route in the car and check the roads.

And if you guys need a conditions report before the actual ride:

Let me know when you guys plan to ride 555 and I will try to do a run the weekend or days before and give a report.

I also forgot to add that if you are relying on a sweep rider to make sure everyone is making it safely, this rider should know the route and be experienced enough not to push themselves to keep up (not a good place for the unexperienced to be riding).

I added the one you forgot!!

I thought that was assumed..

Safe group rides:

-Ride the "PACE" (if you don't know what this is look it up)

-Leader waits at intersections/turn-offs for everybody to catch up

-If group is larger with varied skill levels and bikes, split into smaller groups with leaders of smaller groups waiting/keeping track of riders in their group

-Make sure there are at least a few cell phones and phone numbers exchanged

-Very large group rides (i.e. Hocking 2008) need to have maps and designated meeting places

-Don't follow too closely/ride like a jackass

-Make sure bike is mechanically sound

-Make sure rider is physically sound

-....

Lots of other stuff but these are the first few that came to mind.

The following has nothing to do with OR, it is just a general statement:

It is my personal belief that POORLY organized and structured group rides can exacerbate the root causes of crashes, such as inexperience, ego aka pushing harder than you should, putting to much faith in the rider in front of you, deciding to ride on worn tires, etc....

Group rides also can provide a level of safety above solo riding if done correctly.

+1 Beat me to it.

There is nothing wrong with large group rides so long as there is sufficient maps, meeting place info, etc...like we did last year for Hocking. This lets people ride their own pace, forming small groups without feeling pressured to "keep up."

In my opinion, people that have a negative view on group rides are usually the ones who have either done a poor job planning a ride or crashed during poorly planned rides.

Accidents have nothing to do with group rides or people on Ohio Riders. They happen, and usually because of people screwing around or riding above their head. That's all I'm saying.

most of the OR's I've ridden with have been fine, but theres a few that werent my cup of tea..

!! I'm not a squid!!

Let me know when you guys plan to ride 555 and I will try to do a run the weekend or days before and give a report.

no no, a 48 US would be a sleeping bag for me.

it's 48 euro. the second smallest size some lines make.

That's what size my last suit was. I probably need to go up a size or two to fit a back protector...we are GP-sized.

Ok, that makes more sense. Mine is 54 US size. I was thinking noway could he fit in a 48 us size suit at 125 lbs.

That'd be like a midget in a diving suit..

My suit is size 54. You wear a 48 Jarvis?? I thought you'd wear low 40's.

I'm guessing that's 48 Euro...

!! good work Nick!

hi

You shouldn't acknowledge such nonsense. This is a motorcycle forum so scrawny is normal size.

You LOST your gun? Seriously?

I think I remember the thread...he lost it in a field.

Where's the fish?

its a true story!!! i dont mind the idea at all actually, but i will miss 250 two strokes for sure:(

I'm looking to order the below one piece, however before ordering I'd like input on which size. I looked at the sizing chart, however because im skinny i'm debating which size to get. I'm 5'11.5 and only 130-135lbs. I'm leaning at size 52 EURO , any advice from someone my size?

I think 42US/52Euro would probably be too big for you. I'm 5'11" and 140-145 and my SG-1 was in size 38US/48Euro. The length of the suit is not as important as chest size, waist size, etc. Boots and full gauntlet gloves will make up for shorter sleeves and legs.

What the fuck is that next to the bike?

its about as ugly as those goofy tires.

:lol: That's nasty. She even has a happy trail....err, tattoo.

TDI guy here...

Leather is the way to go if you can afford it. You should really get everything: boots, helmet, gloves, jacket, and pants...get textile if you have to so you can afford boots, too. Also, make sure to check out the clearance stuff at Iron Pony!!

I've taken the bike out that way once and the country roads are great. Pax river maryland doesn't have anything for good riding but I don't mind a little distance to get quality roads. I've already met a big community right in Pax river who ride regularly so the transition should be easy.

Sounds good man! Enjoy the FL weather and east coast livin'!
