What do you mean won't release it?? Tell him you want your fucking bike back and if he doesn't "release" it you'll release a shit storm all over his ass. Fuck that man - you are letting your bike slip away.

Can't with an iPhone - well, 3.0 upgrade (which came out yesterday) has that functionality, but AT&T hasn't enabled it yet because it will put their crappy 3G network on display. I bought an iPHone a week ago, but I couldn't believe it when I found out it couldn't do MMS messaging! I mean, its got freakin' GPS in it, but it can't send a pic??

Wearing a jacket isn't just about road rash either - its about that armor prevent broken bones. Here's the jacket I was wearing when I went down (low-side, on the left ~25-30mph) My shoulder hit the ground and hard causing that shoulder padding to tear out. If not for the armor underneath I would have most certainly caused some real damage to my shoulder/collar bone. Wear it man - I'm not telling you to, I'm asking because I don't want to see another rider get hurt if it can be prevented.

I should be able to make it - I'm gonna post up a pic of my mug so when you all see me wandering around you can give me a shout lol!

A buddy of mine got the story - what I'm hearing is that the car cut the bike off, rider pulled up to the car and banged his fist on the hood of the car and took off. Driver chased the rider down and hit him with the car. Driver of the car is an illegal w/ no license, and I hear they are considering murder charges. Can't attest to all this personally, I wasn't there. But my buddy isn't the type to just make this kind of thing up. R.I.P. rider.

I left - I didn't see the one person on here I know ...well I know a couple more of you but I got tired of wandering around like a lost stepchild! lol! HEY thegame, what's your number? if you're gonna be there I'll come back out and have a beer!

Sweet! See everyone shortly - I'm heading out in 5

ah - I just checked their website...not seeing anything about a bike night

Hitting the shooting range Sunday but might be able to make this. 3-9pm right? Club 33 is usually packed on the weekends. There were a few good looking ladies the last time I was there!

I'm in tonight - be there at 7. We meeting anywhere first? I don't have my OR sticker yet!

377 got me 2 years ago...I am plotting my return at this moment. I am going to do my front brakes next week, rock 204 out to zanesville, 78 S to 377...I will have that 50 feet over again and I will make it happen. Couple more roads in there and I'm good. 555 - don't like it. To each their own I guess, but it is one of the best known roads in Ohio.

Cc ftw

I'll be there tomorrow night too.

When I was a stepdad and crashed, my wife was like "Why are you trying to make me a widow?" - now, she hated me riding anyway. I didn't ride for a long time after the accident (very minor BTW, just an owie on the knee) but once riding is in your blood, that's it. My life and things I do will not be dictated by fear. I'm in no hurry to die on a bike, but I'm also not in a big hurry to die by not living this one life I've been granted!

NICE turnout tonight - lots of bike rolling over from shell

Dude, I rocked an '89 Virago 750 as my first bike - very good handling ride. Congrats! But if I was you I'd lose the windscreen....just a personal preference, I like a clean front end

QFT - looks like a bunch of other cruisers out there...but to each their own I guess.

I'll make it - be at shell ~7ish

I'm partying with women up in polaris tonight - still haven't made a damn hooters bike night! Maybe next week.

Jesus how did I miss this post! My prayers for a speedy and complete recovery for the rider, and for peace for his family and friends. Be safe everyone.

Hooters Hilliard - Friday Of course, it might still be raining then! Might as well go clean/wax the bike....again....

It is not looking good for tonight. Weather.com moving radar shows a huge system on the way. Ugh.

Most corners I have the biggest problem with are blind - there are a couple on that easy stretch of 315 that you just can't see until you're on top of them. I know this is where being familiar with a road is best, but even then you can't tell current conditions of the corner until you're into it. I just slow down even though I know where the road is going. Also single lane roads which are my favorite are also the worst with cagers. 204 out to zanesville is a good example...I think most people in cars are also up higher and can see more of the road than I can and I'm not very familiar with the road. Makes me nervous to even ride it. I guess I just need to ride at my own pace and the hell with whoever is behind me. Maybe bust off a side-view mirror or two if people piss me off

I'm back on my first real bike since my crash in 2007. I'm finding that when I'm on even a lightly twisty road (say 315 north of 270 up to 23) I find myself being very cautious in the corners. I get to thinking that I should be able to corner faster than the cars, but then again I see a lot of gravel in corners and I want to corner with caution to make sure I take a line through the corner that doesn't take me through the gravel! I mean, if the car corners to fast they're probably ok but if I corner too fast I can crash and possibly crash into on-coming traffic. This causes cars to start following me closely and "rushing" me. I feel like I need to speed up but don't want to wreck again. I can't be the only one that doesn't hammer through the corners given the state of the roads out there. How do you all deal w/ this stuff?
