Bad324 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Maybe you can help me out thenLucky for you the Phoenix is my all time favorite CBR and I owned a bastard one (it was an 08 with the '09 Phoenix body custom fit to it) for a short time. If you have questions, feel free to ask! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whaler Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Welcome!As Snot mentioned, try to make the Epic Ride. It's great way to meet fellow riders. The ride is broken into 10 bike groups and further broken into skill level and speed. There is always a big group from the Dayton area that ride over as a group.I promise it's a great time!

Our side of the state is meeting up to group together, then riding east to the primary locale to meet the rest of us... http://ohioriders.net/index.php?/topic/106952-western-ohio-meetup-for-spring-epic-ride-51615/'>http://ohioriders.net/index.php?/topic/106952-western-ohio-meetup-for-spring-epic-ride-51615/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omni.gipson Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Thank you for all the welcoming comments this is awesome! I really do want to go on that epic ride it's sounds amazing. Do you guys no anyone that paints helmets I was thinking a navy theme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Gotta watch painting helmets, depending on the paint and the material the shell is made from, the paint can weaken the helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omni.gipson Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I'll do my research Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfman1 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 You could always get a UV rated Navy decal printed at a local print shop. My wife used to work at a print shop that made UV rated vinyl decals/logos for work trucks and vans. She printed me off some cool stuff for my last bike.

redkow97 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 does the shell of the helmet really do much beyond distributing the impact? not to oversimplify helmet design technology, but they're mostly Styrofoam with a padded liner and a composite shell for weather-proofing and to hold the thing together. Even if that shell was weakened, I would be surprised to learn that that has a dramatic effect on the protection offered. A decal would be a great option, but fitting decals to curved surfaces is a huge pain in the ass. Plenty of people do custom paint work on helmets. It won't be cheap though.

Maybe I'm a milqtoast but I'd rather not chance compromising safety for asthetics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerpaw Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I just left WrightPatt AFB. The best close roads are on the southeast side of town. Venture into SE Ohio or KY when you have a full day to ride. The Epic rides are a ton of fun!!! Thumbs up for Hoblick's work. All joking aside I think a recruiter on a bike is a great way to spark a conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omni.gipson Posted May 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I'm going to attend the epic ride I just need to go back to write down the date on my calendar. I do have some things I have to take care of today but I do plan to ride all day. I still have to get a hold of hoblick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
