xtremef4i Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 So I know this comming weekend is Mid-Ohio, and I had originally planned on going but decided I should do the responsible thing and save my money this year since I just moved out and am trying to make ends meet with all my lovely new bills. Im sure most everybody is going to Mid-Ohio, but is there anyone that would want to do some riding this Sunday, August 3? we can meet anywhere and ride anywhere. I dont know of any real good roads but I have missed the last couple big Dayton rides and am itching to ride with a bunch of people again. So who is down for a ride this Sunday? Thinking about meeting around 10 am or so.....let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtremef4i Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 awesome...we will have to figure out a good place to meet between north cincy and troy where I am (20 minutes north of dayton). Im afraid we might run into some cops on the look out for bikes driving reckless after the dayton ride this past weekend lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I'm down Brad. I say 90% chance I can ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremef4i Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Hell yeah Nick. Im suprised you arent going to Mid Ohio. Or are you going a couple days later for track time in Keith Code's school?Im still counting on you, Nick to be the fearless leader and lead the way haha. How ever many rode last weekend in the Dayton ride, I say we beat it by at least one. But that might be hard to do on Mid-Ohio Weekend.

dustinsn3485 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I might go. Unless I "acquire" tickets to mid-ohio. Although one of these weekends I gotta stay home and take care of my house a little bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cattmouch33 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I'll have to join you all on the next ride. Already have plans with the family this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremef4i Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Dustin, If you could score those tickets we had last year with seats up with the racer's family (hott wifes) and the big wigs from some of the manufactures and sponsers, I would go to Mid-Ohio in a heart beat too. Those tickets were deff a once in a lifetime opportunity. I feel sort of crappy about not going since this would have been 5 years for me going to the races, but with moving out and getting ready to leave for FL for the wedding in a week and a half, I cant go. But I can deff make time to ride with some of the coolest people ever on Sunday!!! The weather is going to be great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some decent country roads around milton, troy, p-hill area. not a good as nicks roads, but there's some turns, and some straights for speed. let me know what going on guys!

xtremef4i Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Hey 12, maybe we should have the Beavercreek, Centerville guys and 01929 from cincy to come up to our neck of the woods. I dont know of any good roads around here though...the ride we go on with nick is pretty fast paced and lots of corners. I like that. I gues we could hit up some back roads and maybe go towards Springfield area? There are a few nice roads over there but I was only on them once and got on them by accident. I just wanna ride some clean roads with enough twisties to keep me entertained. I need to get rid of my chicken strip on the left side of the tire. I got the right side all the way down but am having trouble with the letf. I am down for where ever peeps. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12oclocker Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 we'll if we put our heads together I'm sure well come up with good enough roads for a decent ride , I used to work in springfield, and there's some roads coming to mind with some turns as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsn3485 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I like the 675/Spangler/I70 ramps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cattmouch33 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I found a route of about 75mi of some twisty roads I'm gonna check out during this next week and let you guys know how they are. It's down by Miami university and up towards eaton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01929rr Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 dustin good call on the pirellis i went out and broke them in a little tonight i like the way the feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Pirellis = Overpriced PilotPowers.Hey it's going to be HOT Sunday. They mentioned hottest day YET this year on the news. High 90's with 100% humidity. OUCH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsn3485 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Pirellis = Overpriced PilotPowers.How do you figure?? I've never heard of a set of PP's that will get 12K miles and still be sticky the whole life of the tire!Told ya you'd like 'em Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 2004 I went through 2 sets of Diablo corsa's in 3000 miles. Maybe if you get the Strada's. I'd still show cords at 5000max probably. My theory is if you get 12,000miles from a tire you don't belong on a sportbike. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsn3485 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Disagree. I've put them tires through everything...I can't wear 'em out.And it is the Diablo Stradas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I might have to try them out sometime to settle this..lol Maybe! I'm a power fan. I understand the feedback with my riding on those tires. Trying new ones scare me.John will probably get 24,000miles from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsn3485 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 You'd be surprised. I suspect if they were used for hard riding all the time the life would be 8K or so...When I lived in AZ after my truck was stolen that was my sole transportation to work, school, and Church so that helped extend the life some. However I've done a ton of canyon carving out there, plus some pretty good rides here and can't say enough good about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
