AOW

I'm in

Darwin would be proud!

let us know how it goes.

Think this is going down a bad road when we get to the point of "most" cops or "most" anything. Dude got drunk, killed a motorcyclist, ONLY got 3yr sentence, and got out in 6mths, I don't care if he breast fed a pack of motherless bear cubs, that is just shitty! This is more of Ohio's failure to give a damn in regards to a motorcyclist's life or rights than the judge. fueljunkie1, I'm not sure what, where, or why you seem to be running in to all the "shitfrobrains" cops, but most I've run into have been decent folks. It takes a certain "attitude" to go put yourself in the line of fire for folks that usually don't appreciate it. If that gives some cops a cocky attitude then so be it. I'm not sure if you've ever had the privilege of telling a mother that her kid just splattered his brains over the road because he was racing or drunk, but it ain't fun. Even worst when you have to tell a family that their loved one was injured or killed while doing something they loved because some asshole decided to drink and drive or just not pay attention.

Although I don't wear Sidi anymore, in my sportbike days they were all I wore. Very comfortable and durable.

I'm just lazy... AOW = my initials. Too many forums/user ids/ WTF.

I'm sure some of you have ridden "The Tail" before, here is a LINK to serve as a gentle reminder to know your limits. The weather is changing to our favor out there, ride safe and smart. "The Tail of the Dragon, a magical stretch of road in North Carolina, has 318 curves in 11 miles. This is what happens when a motorcycle rider can't keep himself between the lines. This had to hurt. It's impossible to know the speeds we're talking about in these images, but planting your side into a Chevy Blazer isn't going to tickle no matter how fast you're going. With spring threatening to break out at any time, there are going to be a lot more folks heading to the Dragon and if you do, remember to have fun but keep it at safe speeds above all else. That doesn't mean keeping up with your more skilled buddy, it means keeping yourself from plowing into a Chevy Blazer."

retard

when are we going to get together for a group ride, or at least a meet and greet at the Pony?

kinda nice to just sit back and enjoy the ride and scenery

I polished off a 4pack of Grolsch earlier this week. forgot how good that stuff was

queer

kinda cool, but dude looks completely stoned.

I have a Nolan N102 modular that I wear 99% of the time, and a DOT skid lid for the short burst to the grocery store or slow cruising. If you go the modular route don't go bargain basement. My first modular was a Vega, and the closure pins for the chin piece were plastic. The first cool day (36 degrees) I put it on and closed the chin piece, the clips on both sides broke clean off. That's when I switched to the Nolan that uses stainless steel for their closure pins. As far as chin pieces flying open in a crash, all the research I've done points to plastic clips, and or single button releases on the chin piece. Those helmets w/push button releases stand a higher risk of failing in a crash upon impact, but the Nolan you have to squeeze both releases together to open the chin piece, so it's not likely to fly open upon impact.

Think gixxie's advice is the best option. My son is 5 and that's exactly what I had to do for him.

If you go over to the boot section at the Pony, you'll see few leather dyes and black leather restorer. I would go w/the restorer to remove those white patches you don't like. Before you buy from Iron Pony, check out Sandhillspowersports.com Their prices are usually much less than the Pony, and they have free shipping. They have the Blaster 4.0 for $287.00.

Resistance 2 sucks online!!! Rent it before you waste your money.

AOW (too lazy to be creative) I haven't played killzone online yet, but play the hell out of Resistance Fall of Man.

Happy to hear your son made it back home. Hardest part about being a parent is when your kids get sick.

hmmm, Harley does have a line of bikes that come stock w/100+bhp. Please clarify that you are referring to the V-twin/aircooled/air head Harley folks.

think I can solve this problem for you.... Stop watching American terrorist fighting movies. There's plenty of other genres that may be more to your liking. Try a Disney movie or two.

That's awesome for a 5'11" HS kid!

I want to do the Nuclear challenge at Quaker Steak this year before I move back to CA. Anyone up to the challenge?

Home Depot, Lowe's, Harbor Freight... Seriously, if you need it now you're gonna need it again in a month or so, so you might as well drop the coin and add the set up to your collection.
