Anyone wanna ride around the West side of Hilliard/PlainCity area tonight for a little while with me??

Gonna go hit some country backroads from say 6:30ish to 8ish??

My bike is still in its break-in period so I gotta try and stay under 5800rpm's which translates to around 60mph so just a casual ride around.

Manual says to avoid "extended" periods of operation above 5800rpms.

I'll check back here in a bit and before I leave, I'll pm my cell number to anyone that wants to meet me somewhere in Hilliard.

Maybe another night I can.

You doing QSL Wed?

Heh hee, no way I'm ready to be around that many other bikes

with my newbie driving skills :p besides I'm "on-call" that night.

Maybe one or two more weeks into the bike night season.

I'd love to and I'm in the Mill Run area, but I have a commitment in Grandview tonight. I am also a bit of a newby so easy rides are it for me too.

I'm hittin the gas station then I'll hang around the DQ in Old Hilliard for a little while before I take off.

I have a white helmet and I'll be wearin my bright yellow Iron Pony pullover.

Ok, next time I suggest a "country road ride" in the early evening in the Spring, someone stop me!!!!

Holy cheeze and rice, the fricken bugs! I could barely see out of my shield by the time I got home,

I am covered from head to toe in gnats, they were getting in my helmet thru the air vents and around my visor, nasty!

Still a fun ride though!

A Hookers work is never done i suppose.;)

But really dude youve been riding a couple years. i dont think the addition of a leer is gonna negate any of your skillZ.

I rode over to upper arlington tonight, bugs weren't bad, but it got freaking cold around 930p got home around 10 my knees were freezing, I was dumb for not packing the chaps... hands and upper were fine tho... I think I need a nut warmer regardless....

I don't need to be around hundreds of other bikers and stall the damn thing movin at slow speeds.

Give me a couple more weeks of practice. I'm already getting much better after just one week.

I have a problem stalling sometimes pulling away from a stop thinking I'm in first just to find out

I was actually in second, it don't like that :p

I think I have purged myself of the habit of grabbing the clutch thinking its the rear brake,

I seem to be used to the foot brake already so thats good.

Hey David, How's the new ride?

Hope you are liking it & hope to see you at Shell / QS&L soon for some Bike Nights.

The bike is great! I'll be at QSL in a couple weeks, not ready yet ;)
