Bkizz Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) I finally got my bike back together and I am ready to ride!! I tore it down to the bare frame this winter for some custom paint. Reimbrandt did a "Shoei theme" as a tribute to the helmet that saved my life. I think it turned out pretty sweet! Thanks Jim, you da man. http://www.ohioriders.net/showthread.php?p=664688#post664688So about Sunday…John Mathis put together a route that is about 75 miles. Here’s the link: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/421494 We will be meeting in the Kroger Parking lot located at the corner of Galloway Rd and W. Broad St and leaving at 1:00. (Close to DTM Brian’s shop) You can always split off if you want but the loop ends up back in my area on the WEST SIIIIIEEEEED. (Green card optional…jk) This won’t be a balls out, knee draggin’ ride but it should be fun…and anytime I can get away from the wheelchair and feel normal is a good time. PS: I REEALLY want to go on test ride this Friday to make sure my electric shifter is working properly and make any adjustments. Anyone available? Let me know. Hope to see you Sunday!

I'm pretty upset.That blows...I've delt with bad powder coating too...and found out it pays to find someone who really knows what they are doing. Who else wants to come?
