ok the 13th sounds good for me too, wanna make sure we can get as many people as we can. as of now i think nick will be the group leader as far as routes go, unless someone else wants to jump in there. and dustin i will ride the whole time, ill make sure my day is cleared for sure. i really felt bad taking off like that

ok so this is going to be a poll for when to do the next big ride like last sunday (6/15). unfortunately i work saturdays now so the only good day for me would be sundays, or thursdays (<-not sure how good that day is for a big group ride, if you want a small ride PM me and ill see if im busy or not) everyone shoot some ideas out there! do you wanna do a similar ride to the last one a variation or something completely different? again weather permitting. if the winning date is rained out then we will go on the second place date, or put up a new poll. you can vote for more than one option in this one fellars (and lady(s)), so pick a date and route. ps i think the next NEXT big ride will be nky, i dont want to go on a big time ride like nky until i get a new tire mounted and i trust it again, which should take all of 20 minute ride to trust the new shoes.

dangbruhy you need to ask for sunday's off! thats what i believe most of the dayton area riders are good on is sundays. we need to get another big ride together again! last weekend was AWESOMEEEE!

nick thats UNmounted pricing right? meaning the wheel is already off the bike? purty good to me and fusion you got any pricing on that?

anyone know of a place that is reputable and cheap to mount a tire. i was thinking of just calling competition since they did mine last time. also where i can i get grease to put the axle back in? auto parts store im assuming. i want to just take my rear tire, not the whole bike in, to save in labor... what are your suggestions?

when are we doing another ride? dangbruhy when are you available? any chance you could call off a sunday for a ride?

haha just my luck... apparently it was a technical error they sent that email out to everyone: lmfao at least i get a free tshirt out of it!

we dayton folk don't like to stand around gawking at each others bike, instead we gawk at each other while riding. something like "why sit around at a bike night or gathering when i could be riding during that time instead..." thats what i learned from ninjanick at least check the dayton area subforum for a ride coming up. we just did one last sunday that was a blast. keep an eye out!

i was just going to recommend hella horns

ok i spray painted my fairings over winter (not sure if im still considered new?) but everyone has complimented me on the job i did so... big chief is right on everything except for a few things... from a beginner to a beginner (i also was in contact with a pro auto painter to let me know about prep and that sort of thing) start out with an aggressive grit such as 400, this is going to be the grunt of your work. its going to be pretty roughed up and look bad. then go over it again with 600 (not 1000) paper same thing. its going to take a lot of work. the reason you should use 600 (as explained by the auto painter) is that 600 is about the right amount of roughness for the spray paint to adhere to the body, if you go too much higher it will be TOO smooth and there wont be anything to adhere to. don't worry about it being smooth, the coatings of spray paint will help with that. now another important step is washing it. make sure you wash all that sanding off. rinse with water, then wash it just like your washing your bike and let dry. when you paint it, start out with a light coating at first, and then every 5-10 minutes spray another coat. keep going until satisfied. and your done! unless your worried about wet sanding then thats another story and i didn't worry about that. this won't be a show stopping job, but like i said it still can look good if done right. also some advice: i just sprayed the pieces in my yard. hung the pieces on some dead but sturdy branches. the humidity will affect the quality as well as the wind. the best conditions are something like this coming week, 70's and dry air. also make sure the wind is down you don't want bugs and stuff flying into your wet paint (believe me its a bitch to get out). also don't worry if you screw up, you can always sand and spray again. if i somehow go a piece of something in my wet paint, i let it dry took a little bit of 600 grit and sanded it away (if you move it while wet it will look bad, either way you have to sand again). then wiped it down with a wet rag and resprayed. i like the duplicolor spray paint because its nozzle has the wide spray just like a pro paint gun. also i used about 4-5 bottles of the main color. you can get away with less since its nice out, i sprayed in the dead of winter so the cold had something to do with how many coats i used. good luck! and here is some pics of the job i did and i know some people on here can vouch for me that it looks good:

i submitted my bike into an online sportbike show sponsored by yamaha and boz bros and benyen: im moving cautiously, meaning no credit card info (especially since its supposed to be free), no information other than my name and pic of my bike is all im giving them for now.

i don't have the tickets yet, im going to see about switching them to indy ::crossing fingers::

so before i get too excited or anything i just got an email: i took out the contact info btw dont get me wrong but i do believe that means I JUST FUCKING WON TICKETS TO THE LAGUNA MOTO GP RACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no its not spam i already emailed the lady about it and got a response. too bad i live here and i don't know if i can make it over there

haha your right nick, i forgot to ctrl C the new link here you go: if you want the maps PM me

yea man dayton sector is tight yo especially after today...

i lock the helmet and stuff the gloves inside, and i wear my jacket. if im in full leathers, well...i wont be doing any errands then lol

ok this might be a little closer but regardless of if its right or not it would still be a good ride for anyone in the area who wants to go on a nice weekend morning ride: taken down PM me if you want it

because i knew you guys where going back across 71 and i just picked the best roads that meandered throw morrow, lebanon, and blanchester.

...and the little red 600 that kept up with you guys too and yea sorry for bailing early on you guys, next time when i dont have afternoon activities it will be all good! who was the one on the monster 1000 ninja (i need to talk to you about trackdays!--PM me) let me tell ya though my confidence was pretty low after a few close calls in cbus but riding with you guys im back up to where i was before and then some what an amazing ride i had!! and i will vouch for amazing roads in hocking i have ridden down through there many a times on the way to OU

taken down if you want it PM me here is what i got as far as i remember. after "E" i have no idea since i got onto the highway from there (sorry guys and gals i had to get going) anyways we need to do that again. what are some weekends that work for people? its pretty much going to be sundays only for me from here on out and those that have to work weekends is there anyway you can call off a day or call in "sick..." throw out some dates people and we can go from there.

haha yea softball. its sorta the only way to hang with my hs friends again and have a little fun at the same time --its more or less the baseball team from high school and since their aren't any bball without it being competitive for old college guys like us, its a good alternative. plus dude don't you know...? thats were all the hot chicks are! why do you say i ask i lot of questions? do i really ask a lot of questions? i can be a curious guy can't i? what do you mean by that? you know im just kidding dont you? see you guys at 10! ill be the apparent softball player on the red bike and what a second... i thought you were the one against "hanging out" i wanna ride! (there are a lot of smiley's in my post)

dang dude i didn't know it was going to be til 2!?!? in that case i might have to ditch early as well. (i got softball in the early afternoon) i thought it was going to be to done by 1 130ish. any way we can alter the ride? i guess we could just drive faster jk what is the planned route if you don't mind me asking nick?

looks like its going to be in the mid 70's through the ride to low 80's by the time we are done with a relatively low dew point. its going to be great weather!!!

true that nick i imagine it will take at least an hour in the a/c before i will be able to peel the leathers off my skin and that will be WITH under armour every one still down for 10am meeting time at the dairy mart/gas station on 35? o and people! : make sure you check your bike over the night before!! at least chain and tire pressures. also make sure to get a good breakfast in and drink lots of water please! and careful on the booze the night before i would rather ride with someone who's head is in the right place and not stuck on a hangover when im riding with them...just a thought to keep in mind guys and girls
