Day 1 Left this morning at 7AM and arrived in Marion, VA at 6:30PM 512 miles later.

Day 2 included The Snake, BRP, Diamondback, Devil’s Whip and Tail only 416 miles today. Tory’s favorite was Diamondback. Her comment was we owned that road.

Casinos have a system where you can be banned if you have a gambling problem. I wonder if there is something similar for motorcycle dealers.

Day 3 We ran a version of Tonik’s route today. We had a little bit of rain, but nothing too serious. Definitely beat on the Concours today and made a CBR style run on the skyway once we hit dry pavement. Definitely the best day of the trip, 437miles.

Hello to all the guys and snot Long time no see, I did not make a guess bike thread but still tonic manages to skewer me some how haha. Quite obvious from the age of this thread busa has been a life long dream of mine. Something weird about Indians overall I guess, we like MJ, hayabusa and Arnold ‘sausenager’ , from very young age always liked the busa and finally pulled the trigger to get one once it came packed with safety net electronics. stylistically, statistically, economically, common sense wise this bike doesn’t make any sense at all for me and my type of riding. But May be exactly the antidote I need to behave as I don’t like straight line speed and enjoy faster cornering. Busa is build opposite to that. But I look at it as a lesser weight gold wing for my size, hefty long low plush suspension wind protection, low rpm highway mile munching, less comfortable but can be tweaked and not as horrible as a cruiser in handling. The weird irony of this is buying one fo the most powerful heavy bike to go slow is hard to explain, esp to ones wife. Don’t know I been seeing a lot of 🤦🏽‍♂️ When I talk about it lately haha this bike I will be keeping for long time since I bought new, full msrp and fluff fees and what not always bought gently used bikes and sold without much financial hit, this one I have to keep it… good thing I am loving it so far. @durk it was not me there, wish I could have made it to say hi to you. Next week if opportunities arise I might try to swing by dragon area and meet @Blitz @2talltim just have to get this bike to turn enough to get there in one piece 🤣 hopefully get to meet you all some day some where. May be in august I am trying to see if I can swing by Ohio one weekend for a ride. My be we can do an epic ride with all 15 or so remaining active members quintessential pictures. You guys know I love to take pictures and share.

This is a short trip. Boonville MO, where we are, is as far as we are going. Seeing the baby Budweiser Clydesdales in the morning. Then cross country back to Cleveland hitting some Frank Lloyd Wright houses and a wolf rescue place. Home Sunday.

Let’s just say the experiment failed, this thing is harder to ride the tight stuff but way more rewarding. Overall the tendency to attack corners and all goes away but still this bike hides it heft and speed. so I made the gap trip, all back roads one day up one day down. Wanted to meet @Blitz but timing didn’t work out. Next time any of you guys making a gap trip let me know may be I can try and meet up.

I was getting it on my 3rd straight rotor when I found one of my caliper bolts was bent.(by the PO, fork end had scratches too) Seems like that would be a constant grind but that was the last thing that finally fixed it. More of a frequency than alignment thing }shrug{ Also not a bad idea

I rode to MVNU to see my wife and daughter at a district choir camp. I always wanted to ride my bike to college but never did due to the inconvenience. 22 years later I made it happen. Better late than never.

This is why I am so excited.

7am or GTFO!! Enjoy the ride guys. My only day off this week is Thursday and it will probably snow that day. Speed safe!!

Going to keep this here for future, and probably soon, use. Wish I could get down there next week to see you, I miss you man.

Might be referencing your riding, not your posting.

Busted out of Hocking Hills at 9am in a NE direction on curvy back roads with little traffic. Slipped under New Lexington on secondary roads while turning more north passing Crooksville and Roseville turning up to the river crossing at Philo then thru Chandlersville to our coffee stop in New Concord (Chapmans Coffee). Fueled up and headed south on 83 picking up 313 east around Senecaville Lake to 800 south thru Woodsfield jumping on 255 to our lunch spot in Sardis, Marv’s place. To our surprise it was closed. The man living next door stated that they closed last week, unable to find workers. So hungry and disappointed we jammed down the shoreline to FLY, (Riverview Diner) Lunch sucked but we were at the Ferry so across the river into Sisterville for a trip back north to the bridge at New Martinsville/Hannibal. After crossing back into Ohio we jumped on 536 to 78 and Blasted 78 home to the HOCK. Just under 300miles for the day of great asphalt roads and very little traffic.

Buy this 1 then you can say it does 😁.

Now that is a pair of full-time idiots.

What do you do when you wake up in the morning and can hardly walk because your back is so jacked? When you do walk your totally out of alignment and all crooked. You throw your leg over your chiropractic CBR and ride it for 525 miles and you start to feel better 😋. Your results may vary from mine. What a difference between the CBR and Concours. I had to adjust my throttle inputs today. I can kind of ham fist the Concours and not upset much of anything. The CBR needs much smoother inputs.

You want to add to that route and have some twisty road fun. Take 541 to the other side (west)of Coshocton, then grab 60 north all the way to Killbuck, do a little zigzag over to 520, take 520 to 514, 514 to Danville, 62 to 36, 36 to MTV. You can thank me later.

Parked in Fort Wayne for the night. The wolf encounter in Battle Ground IN was intense.

Frank Lloyd Wright house downtown Springfield. Going inside in a few minutes. If you have never seen one hit Falling Waters in PA. Reserve well ahead of time.

Those damn horses live better than most people.

$5395 Thank you!

We are here!

I'm on a family vacation, which means I'm riding pretty much every dry day. I'm staying just south of Logan Ohio. It's a great jumping off point to hit a lot of great roads and I would love to have some company. If you want to meet up somewhere and ride let me know and we can plan something. @B-Mac@Rick 59 @FatWilbur @durk @Pauly @Gpaw

I thought we'd be good here, with the maybe 15 people that will see this post. I'll keep it secret everywhere else, 😂

2018. 18 and 19 are the same. 20 has fog lights standard and some other minor changes. 21 same as 20 with a bigger trunk.

Shhhh! Keep "Big Pine" on the down low. Nothing to see here just stay on the numbered roads.😋

@MucklesHad a great time. A lot of fun roads that I have never been on. thanks

Missed ya today, some other time.

Deb and I are riding Thursday if you want to join us. In the Ozarks.

They build it shite from the factory. You need to extend the swingarm to corner at top speed. Can't steer with the front off the ground.

Did my first track day this weekend at Pittrace and am now thoroughly hooked. Met a lot of great people and got a ton of good advice. Tim, sorry I didn't get a chance to work with you, but I got a lot of great coaching from some of your colleagues. Already signed up for Nelson Ledges on 7/31-8/1 and can't wait!

Installed a new K&N air filter to replace this filthy filter.

You old white guys can't tell the difference between a Busa and a ZX14

Nm, I can't edit my own posts. Bring back titties!

Couple vids from the weekend.

Storm fell apart as it got to us, then came back together as it passed. Not a drop fell on us.

Parked for the day. Interesting day. Passed two casinos and Deb did not make me stop. Then there was the nekkid girl walking against traffic on 70 west of St Louis. No pics but she was very good looking. Clearly in distress, I called 911 from the bike.

✋ HI, hello, yes. Though my schedule may be a little less flexible, slabbing it back... Though, oof lol

We took 22 out Somerset to 664 south. Took that to Big pine road just south of Logan. This dumped us onto 374 to 180 into laurelville. Took 327 south out of town to 671 to 50 west back to 327 to 788 into Jackson. Had lunch there at Bob Evans. Took 124 out of town to wilkesville to 160 to 689 to 32 east to 143 to 50 west to 356 north (this road is covered with tar snakes) to 56 to 278 into Nelsonville. We took 33 west and @FatWilbursplit and took 93 back north. Overall the raids were great and a lot of fun. Really nice to ride done new roads for a change of pace.

debadged my wheelset.

Put the wifes car in the driveway, that is how I do it.

I made $20k+ on a house I lived in for 2 years. Going from 1200 sq ft to 2400 sq ft with a basement, garage, and land. Here is what I’m gonna be working with…
