HeavyDuty Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I like the first shirt the best also my age is a little younger then what you see on my profile I do not put that stuff on the internet because of ID theft Also I get my shirts a few sizes larger because after a few washes they shrink and make me look like I’m wearing one of those midriff shirts and you do not want to see that. Ya that sounds about right LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) I'm a fat ass no if ands or buts...lol...I'm 6'4" 285lbs my age is true to my profile but I've been known as a bit of a prude at times and act way older than I am. My personality is slowly getting closer to my actual age as I get older. Edited February 18, 2014 by 2talltim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Ok, so I asked a buddy that lives in Chicago what traffic would be like Monday around 930 as we go through. He said it wouldn't be too bad and to be sure to stop at Mars Castle for a kringle if we go that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) .....and to be sure to stop at Mars Castle for a kringle if we go that way.Obviously a very wise man. The Castle has a full bar in it for those so inclined. Might be too early for me. Also, if any of you have an iPass, or the Ohio equivalent, it saves a buttload of time at the tolls and you even get through the tolls for 50% less. If ya don't have one, might wanna look into getting one. Edited February 18, 2014 by Earache Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 If anybody is going to be near/in PA soon, you can buy the PA version at Giant Eagle. I did this and it was pretty painless.Also cheaper. Ohio charges a monthly fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Also cheaper. Ohio charges a monthly fee.you talking about the $.75 a month?...just read up on PA's the purchase includes a $3 annual fee Edited February 18, 2014 by 2talltim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I said "fudge it" and ordered the ohio prepaid pass. Will be here in 7 to 10 days. Now you pros need to share how you mounted yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 For the ones on the fence here is the toll from MM173 to west gate in ohioE-ZPass Fare $8.25Non E-ZPass Fare $12.25Savings With E-ZPass $4.00 In Indy East gate to West gate:E-ZPass Fare $9.70Non E-ZPass Fare $4.65Savings With E-ZPass $5.05 I didnt check ILL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 you talking about the $.75 a month?...just read up on PA's the purchase includes a $3 annual fee Yes. Ohio must have lowered it. The savings used to be worth the effort of getting one in PA. You will be happy having one, it makes riding the turnpike a breeze. Even if one of our group doesnt have one we still get to roll through and sit on the side of the road and laugh at them while the fumble for money and stuff.

BUT, we will be rolling trough 7 toll plaza's for a total of $12.40 in ILL alone, if that's not worth getting one i dont know what is Edited February 18, 2014 by 2talltim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not been thru there in a few years but I think there were about 5 or 6 in the first 20 miles west of Chicago they were across the freeway and not at the ramps like Ohio was a pain in the ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still seeing 4 but maybe i'm looking at it wrong.(plaza 1, 5, 9, 17) Edited February 19, 2014 by 2talltim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie14 Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Can you place the EZ Pass in the clear spot in a tank bag (spot used for holding GPS units)? If not, can I zip tie it to my ram -mount GPS holder that is attached to my clutch reservoir? I don't mind buying an easy pass, but I don't want to buy a mount that I will only use once. I don't travel on toll roads very often, maybe once every few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
