Hey, I'm 30 minutes away and I know a few roads that aren't too bad. I'm always up for a ride. Let me know...

I am always up for a ride, anytime the weather is good, I am on my bike. There are a few twisties in these parts and of course SE Ohio is interesting. I am an hour away from Cleveland, or 30 minutes, if you like the throttle. All of the people around here seem to like to ride up and down the main drag, showing everyone how loud their pipes are. I am more concerned about improving my riding technique. When it's a nice day out, I am out for five or more hours at a time. At least, but then again, it's my hobby. Anyone interested, drop me a line. I own a liter-bike so I won't be too far behind anyone else, unless you pass me in the corners. Which I am working on, day by day. Knee-dragging out on the public roads is suicide but I will get a nice lean angle going.

What do you call an Ethiopian with a yeast infection? A quarter pounder with cheese. What do you call an Ethiopian with buck teeth? A rake. What's the fastest animal in the world? Ethiopian chicken. What's one thing you never see in Ethiopia? After-dinner mints.

What's the difference between unloading a truck full of bowling balls and a truck full of dead babies? You can use a pitch fork with the dead babies. How do you make a dead baby float? One scoop of ice cream, one scoop of dead baby. How do you make a dead baby float? Take your foot off its head and let it rise to the surface. What's 12 inches long and white? Nothing.

Why wouldn't John F. Kennedy have made a good boxer? Because he couldn't take a shot to the head. What has four wheels and flies? A dead cripple in a wheelchair. What's 10 inches long and makes women scream? Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

I had a small scrape under my eyelid that bothered me so much that I went to the ER, which is a block away from my house. They gave me a few drops to numb my eye but then they gave me a prescription that contained a drug that I am allergic to. The next morning it felt about 80% better, as the eyes heal quickly. The pain was intense for being as small as the scrape was.

Well, you do have that Ninja 250 there, so when you're doing 50mph at 11,000rpm's and can't go any faster because she's on the back, she may decide to take a nap during the ride home. Or get off and give you a push...

Well,Harley's are destroying marriages on a national scale anyways. That's another strike against them, See, when your wife's on the back of your Harley, the engine vibrates so much that she climaxes at least three times, at the minimum. By the time you get back from the bar, all she wants to do is lie down and take a nap. No pee-hole exploration for you...

Well, I'm always up for a ride but now this thread is old. Still, anytime after this is great since I usually get off work around 4:30 p.m. It's always good to find about new roads.

Hey, I live up in Bumblefuck, OH so I can't participate, but if I lived in the Columbus area, count me in. Unless I head down early and then it's possible. There is a two hour drive down but if I take the scenic route, it's about 4. Got to love Rt. 62.

Well, I'm sure he was wearing the Harley vest he just bought as well as one of those cute little Harley bandannas, so he had the regulation safety gear, at least for the HD crowd. Plus, when you're riding and it's 80 out, those bandannas keep the sweat out of your eyes, since your bike doesn't generate enough speed to get the breeze blowing on your face.

Rt.95 near Wooster has a 2mi stretch of road where you can really open it up, if you so desire. Near where I live, I can take Rt.30 E. to 164 S., and from what I hear it's got many curves. www.motorcycleroads.com

Rt.60 is really pleasant but the tar snakes that I encountered made me ride like I was on a Harley or in other words, trying to go as fast as the speed limit. I did not see one cop and I was on that road for about 4 hours until I stopped at Marietta, where I had some tacos. Then I just jumped on 77N to get home fast. I don't know about any good places to ride around Cleveland but around here, there is an area where I hang out with long, sweeping turns, lasting about 28 miles before you hit Rt. 30. If you get on Rt.800 S. and stay the course, it's a great ride, leading you into some nice twisties. I almost ran out of gas but I was pretty close to W. Virginia by then, on a 600 VLX, a small cruiser that is fun to ride. With my new weapon, it should be a whole new ballgame.

Anyone that lives in the Akron/Canton area, that wants to ride with a somewhat sane rider, leave me a message and we can talk. I live very close to Rt.30, that takes you to 172 East, a nice place to ride, with a few turns as well. No cops either but beware of the tractors and the fertilizer trucks. Oh, a dead raccoon in the road will ruin your day if you hit it while in a lean. Still, I see more people riding around in the city and posing when they should be out in the country logging miles. Rt.9 is also very close and there are some nice curves as well. It looks like this weekend will shot, with the weather so I'll have to wait until spring finally comes forth.

Man, I had an old Intruder 1400, before they switched over to 5 gears. I can't really agree with the way it handled but maybe you just need to get used to it. Plenty of torque there and easy on the eyes. Once I would lean into a turn, I would have to do very little else although I learned how to ride on cruisers. Now I can't even get into the cruiser mode anymore, unless I had a M109R that is. The one good thing about those Intruders is the price is always right. Nice power for under 5 grand used. If I ever get another cruiser, the Intruder might be the way to go, again. Nah, the M109 will be the one for me. For now I will continue to worship my '06 1000RR.

Hey, I'm down in Massillon, an hour away and I know some nice roads that you might like to take your F4i on. I myself had an F2 as my first sportbike. You can't go wrong with a Honda. Good luck with it...

The last time I was pulled over, I was not even given a warning and I was doing 17 over the limit. I pull over right away and act cool about everything, which helps a great deal. Once I was stopped at night with only my permit, speeding as well. The cop let me go and told me to slow down. Another time I was pulled over but I didn't have my permit like an idiot so I had to pay for that one. The speeding charge in that case was dropped though. All in all, the cops have all been pretty cool about everything. If I ran, I would have gone to jail, just to avoid mostly warnings, so far. Not a wise move. Of course now I have a bike that hits 70 without a second though, so I really have to be careful these days...

I spent the first four years of my education in a catholic school, before I asked my mom to put me in a public school to save my sanity. I remember when we had to pray before class and one kid asked us to pray for his sister, who had the shits, and I had to hold back a laugh. Being an atheist is alot less time-consuming than being a member of a cult. Besides, I don't think I want to spend eternity with a virgin named Mary. A man needs to have a little action now and again but she only puts out for The Holy Spirit.

That's what they get for not including a demonstration on how to get jizz out of your hair before take-off.

What do you get when Judge Judy forgets to wear panties? Odor in the court.

I can't even imagine what her parents went through with that, but it always gets to me when a child dies. Life ends suddenly...

Before the serious winter weather arrived, I pulled my battery out of my '06 1000RR and took it inside for about four months. Then last week I charged it but it only took about a minute before is was up to par again, so it lost very little juice over the winter. All I need now is warm weather and I'm ready to go...

I'm always up for a road trip but alas, I only have my permit for now. My bike would fail the inspection they give you when you take your test, with my flush mounts and all. Otherwise, I would go for sure. The only way I could take the test would be on another bike, or a moped since that's allowed. On the 1000RR, it's rather difficult since it wants to move fast, even when idling, it seems. Sometimes I wish I held on to the 600RR but I fell in love with what I have now...

The Canton Boner Boys, ah, yes, I almost forgot about those fellows. My front wheel never leaves the ground but I bet when I start to put miles on the 1000, the inevitable will happen. Lets hope all goes well when it does. I never ride in the city, unless I pass through a town or two when I'm out in the country. There are alot of places to go in this state where the traffic is minimal, which is one of the perks of living here. Now if I could only avoid getting pulled over this year. I know it's going to happen...

I sat on one up in Cleveland and it felt like a 600. In black it looks very sharp. The front end looks like crap but it is different.
