  2. New Guy from Columbus

    in Introductions

    Posted

    I was thinking GSXR 600, but have been steered toward GSF500, or SV650. I'm now finding out which of these would be better for my first year. I hope to get a 600 after my first season of riding.

    I want to stay above the ground.

    I would not mind owning a cruiser, but I see that coming later in life, or as a second bike sometime down the road.

    And thank you for the warm welcome everyone!

    there is a lot of potential with the sv. if i had to choose id go with that.

    gixxer ha silly :badgerrock:

  3. bluetooth headphones

    Sony Ericsson - Bluetooth Wireless Headphones - Black/Silver - HBHDS200

    im currently in the market for new bluetooth headphones -- in particular in the ear phones.

    i like these because i can use my own headphones with this setup. there are no real reviews out as of yet but it is sony, so really can't be too much wrong.

    want the in ear style, just because thats what i like. and i want to get rid of my ipod and use my phone exclusively for music/phone capabilities.

    it would only be 35 out of my pocket with gift cards i have so its really not that bad of a deal.

  8. what's your resolution?

    work on form and consistency around a track

    be confident enough so that i can take the skills learned at one track and apply them to any other

    do 8-10 trackdays this year

    goal by the end of the year is to make it into the advanced level. attainable, but a lot of work.

    run and bike (pedal) more -- no gym involved...

    reach my profit goal for my internship.

    I think we should all chip in a few bucks & have a Ohio-Riders / Team Kawasaki. :banana:

    :trophy::wheeliezx10::trophy:

    :dj:

    im not chipping in anything until hopper actually podiums...

    There's an all new version of the zx-rr this year and dont forget about that screamer motor that may come into the plans as well
    Trust me Aspar would not be buying old technology

    i read about that in my MotoGp Tech book, looked pretty neat although there could be some problems that arise with that particular firing order (unless im getting it confused with something completely different) regardless, very cool.

    it was never ran in a race its all prototype

    yup.

  19. Spring Ride

    in Events

    Posted

    Hocking hills in the spring time is nothing but accidents waiting to happen. There is more gravel and dirt on those roads then anywhere.

    true statement.

    although usually they are ok after a good rain.

    either way the first time on the roads need to be scouting runs and not all out in any way.

  20. Review: Valentino Rossi -- what if i never tried it

    in Reviews

    *there's no real place for review's like this, so i chose here. if mods wanna move it, feel free*

    well i got this book as a christmas present and flew threw all 277 pages in about 3 days, and im not much of a reader. the book is overall actually pretty funny and a good read so long as your not a grammar nazi.

    i liked the fact that he gives some insider information about motoGP and what its like to be the lead rider on a top tier team. he also talks a lot about his time leading up to GP and his battles with Biaggi, Capirossi, the Aprilia team, and the ever so serious Honda HRC team. He explains his little pranks and/or after race ceremonies and much much more!

    the stuff i didn't like: the first three chapters seemed to talk about the same thing just in slightly different variations. also there are some obvious grammar issues throughout the book and some flowing/organizational issues but it is a translated book, so that could have something to do with it.

    also just an interesting note, throughout the book he refers to his mom as obviously "mom," but says his dad by his first name, very few times did he mention Graziano as his dad.

    overall i'd say 4/5 stars in terms of good books i've read. if your in anyway interested in Rossi or even MotoGP in general this is a good book to read.

    available in hard back and paperback.
