Casper Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hey guys and gals. Be sure to check out our new sponsor AD Farrow.AD Farrow is a great company who has supported motorcyclists and their families in Ohio for a long time. In fact, they were the biggest sponsor for the children's charity ride (all the money went to Children's Hospital and Flying Horse Farms) we all did last year. They are really good people.

But I can put in touch with my contact there. He's a really nice guy. I'm sure he can point you in the right direction. I've been up there a few times before talking to anyone about sponsoring Ohio Riders, and have always been treated really well up there. It definitely wasn't what I expected.

jagr Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I have only been there once. That was for the helping hands charity ride. Everybody there was really cool. And yes I like a couple of the Buells. But it changed what I thought of harleys a bit for the good. So welcome to the new sponsor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artmageddon Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I think AD Farrow is a good thing. This is Ohio Riders, not Ohio Sportbike Riders. Half of the reason I joined this board is because it seem to me that most of the people on it didn't care what you ride, as long as you ride. While I agree that there is a small portion of the Harley crowd that would snub their noses at a sportbike or a metric cruiser, I also don't think they will be joining this board anytime soon. A good integration of cruisers and sportbikes will help narrow the gap in the differences that are between the two groups. I think it is a generational thing, sportbike riders tend to be younger, Cruiser riders tend to be older.I also think that gap is closing. I'm in my early thirties and ride a cruiser. I like to ride casual for hours and don't feel the need to go 110 mph, so a sportbike doesn't work me. That doesn't mean I don't like them, if I could afford it, I would have both. I think most of the cruiser guys feel the same way. The guys I hang out with all have sportbikes, and I could care less. I think if most of us of cared less about the bike and more about the rider, the motorcycle community as a whole would benefit. Welcome AD Farrow!

Catman Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 ^^^^ I like how you think ^^^^I'm in it to progress and better my skills. I'm competeive and just like anything else, If i get to the point where I'm regressing then, You will find me in the garage wrenching on them for someone else to abuse. I Love performace based machines.But Harley's are cool. I'm building something like this next !!!! Wooohoooo I think it is exile's creation ?This may even handle and brake and not weigh a metric ton ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Green Valley Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Glad to hear they are now a sponsor! I have had nothing but good vibes from the folks there. I ride a Honda VTX and have never been given grief when I ride in. They were our main sponsor when I did the ride from Canada to Mexico to raise money for Flying Horse Farms, of which they are a major supporter. Kudos to both organizations!

There are also Gixxer haters, Busa haters, well that's mainly it. Hahaha! Seriously though, this is not a sportbike rider website. This is for all motorcyclists. If you've ever been on one of our group rides, you'd know there's a good mix of bike styles and manufacturers. Hell, those who when on the Hocking ride last year know what I'm talking about. There were a shit ton of cruisers on that ride. My first bike was a cruiser. As long as you're on two wheels you're good in my book. Hell, one of the nicest people I've met from this board rides a scooter! PS: I really like the HD Night Train. Saw one when we were up there for the children's charity ride. I would definitely rock that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
