88lx5oh Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 its been a while since i have been on CR, i pop on every great once in a while, but im pretty far out of the car scene now. Bikes have been my main hobby for last several years. Still Have the Sonata 2.0T and its holding up great with 50K on the clock and not a single issue. Purchased a Nissan Titan LE 4x4 Offroad earlier this year, love this truck, hauls anything i want, and its the 4 door, so tons of room in it. Terrible gas mileage, but the wife usually takes it to work and back (about a 10 min drive) so not that big of a deal. im still currently getting 33 - 35 mpg on the highway with the sonata still amazes me out of a turbo car with 274 hp. ive upgraded bikes a bit in the last year. last year i was rocking an 07 Streetglide that i decked out with wheels and alot of powder coating and other goodies. http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g425/hobglide/477d53cc.jpg went to something that fits me a little better. 2011 Ducati Multistrada, 470lbs 195hp, and i can ride all day on the thing. i can ride 2 up with it on long tours, or take it out and rail in the twisties with the sport bikes, (most of the time they are trying to play catch up =-) ) http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g425/hobglide/a8e2fceb.jpg http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g425/hobglide/DSCN1344.jpg http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g425/hobglide/DSCN1698.jpg also upgraded the track bike.. 07 GSXR 600, with a few goodies i added to it. Driven 520 chain and sprocket kit Woodcraft clip ons, frame sliders, case covers, rear sets, and spools optimal body work (painted by 614paintworx) Driven gas cap Brembo 19X18 front master cylinder ASV Levers Speigler Stainless brake lines Ferodo Track day pads Akrapovic exhaust GPR Steering Stabalizer Michelin Power Cup Tires this thing is a blast on the track http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g425/hobglide/211017.jpg http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g425/hobglide/A4430B15-35B1-4858-A4D5-805C44076022-4333-000000E58347C3A2.jpg http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g425/hobglide/ScreenShot2012-12-11at40438AM.png and then for cheap fun, i have two Honda XR100Rs, that i run down at circleville with OMRL. this is by far the cheapest way to have fun. I have a total of $1200 - $1400 a piece wrapped up in these (thats with all the little mods done to them) its cheap as hell to race down at CRP as well, so its a great way to get in some racing on the cheap. http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g425/hobglide/C5E49350-6D4B-47C7-8702-0CF21C64E8CB-11358-00000AC85CF05654.jpg http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g425/hobglide/55AB12B7-0183-4A75-9F31-797408880DF9-11358-00000AC8AEB2E395.jpg havent had alot of time to do much this past year, started my own business up, and still worked my job out at Honda. so i pretty much just worked non stop. did get a chance to go out to colorado and ride (simply amazing) http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g425/hobglide/DSCN1654.jpg http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g425/hobglide/DSCN1552.jpg got in a few track days on the big bike, and a few races in on the little bikes. this year im hoping to be freed up a bit more so i can indulge a litttle bit more in my hobby, but we will see where that goes. Do have plans already though to drag the track bike down to florida in march to play at Jennings GP. so in a nutshell thats about what ive been up to. if anyone gives a shit lol.

88lx5oh Posted December 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 i was wanting to go to atleast 1 cars and coffee event this past year, and i never had the time. Honda has me working 6 days a week. Ive got overtime out my ass. Ive worked through the last few holidays. so the free time i get im either spending with the wife, or wrenching in the garage. hell im actually behind on stuff i need to get done in the garage. I gotta freshen the suspension up on the race bike and the ducati. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustlestiltskin Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Whats the new business you've started up? I knew you used to do auto detailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS69 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Hoblick, Nice post and nice to see you back on cr. I haven't biked in years but still have my 86 VCR interceptor. Last I remember, I have around 30,000 miles on it. Yes, I rode it a lot in the past. The 5.0 gets out more often than the bike due to kids and being old.

Zx2guy19 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Great looking bike man. Nice purchase on the Hyundai/Nissan combo. I bought a 2012 Accent as a DD and an 04 Titan LE for towing and house flipping. Love the Nissan, unfortunately I hate the Hyundai. What do you do at Honda? I work for a supplier in Canal Winchester.

zeitgeist57 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Hoblick, great to hear from you. That Streetglide looks siiiiiiiiiick.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88lx5oh Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Hoblick, great to hear from you. That Streetglide looks siiiiiiiiiick.... the streetglide was a fun bike. i had alot of fun customizing it. It was a highway king, i could ride that thing from coast to coast. Unfortunately whenever i got to a fun place to ride, with tons of turns, and amazing canyon roads, i was always wishing i had a different bike. I was dragging parts on the harley in every corner, it handled like an old buick road master. I tried to help it out by upgrading the brakes to Brembo units, rear shocks to Ohlins, and a Racetech fork kit. it helped, but not enough. so i got rid of it for something a little more sporting =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
