Getting ready to meet friends down in Tellico Plains, TN. for some Adventure riding, Oct 7-11 Should get three, 160mile days of mixed stuff. Was there in March for a event and now for a fall ride. Should have a ride report when I return. Video snips of March ride:

Must have been some paving done cause that section was really rough. You can't compare TN/NC roads with Ohio roads, they're just vastly different IMO. I like 555, just not my favorite Ohio road.

Okay I've personally tried 3d printing like little candle holders and stuff but never a full on bike. This is pretty cool. http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/the-worlds-first-3d-printed-steel-bike-frame-is-like-nothing-youve-seen-before-210728 Do you think we're not that far away from 3d printing full on bikes with working engines, etc? I've already ran into some of these files online and they look pretty real to me. https://pinshape.com/items/16222-3d-printed-scooter-benzin-misch-behalter-halter Has anyone tried to make their own bike parts or dare I ask . . . your entire ride?

Ok, drive back to Ohio. Change your license to the other house here in Ohio. Get a plate, drive back to NC and change the drivers license back. That's all I got man.

Two absolute great days at Mid-Ohio today and yesterday! I was probably at least 10 seconds off pace with the messed up suspension on the 1k, but I didn't really care, I was just happy to be riding. This morning, the fog was so thick you couldn't make out the bridge across the front straight from the paddock. Needless to say, unsafe for bikes because of visibility and moisture. So, instead of sitting there and twiddling our thumbs.....Mark Junge took everyone for a few sighting laps in the vans. We stopped at a few spots along the way; @blue03636 I'm pretty sure I found the mark you left on Mid-O. After a clear demonstration of the pit in/out procedures, Mark proceeded to show us the racing line in the van. Even with all the dew and moisture in the air, he had the tires squealing the whole way around.....my first time on a race track inside a vehicle did not disappoint. After that, because of the light turnout, it was decided to combined intermediate and advance groups. So the day consisted of novice and I/A running alternating 20 minute sessions with quick breaks between from 10:30ish on. I got to work with the N group, and I have to say they were great! We kept it very, very mild in the morning, then slowly picked it up and gave feedback to the guys as the day progressed...watched track video between a few of the sessions to spur a little discussion. All in all, it was a ton of work....but the fact that everyone was having a great day made it worth it! Got in 3 advance sessions, but they were nothing to talk about....other than how ridiculously fun the 1k is in a straight line. When you power wheelie out of T1, the keyhole, into thunder valley, and onto the front straight.....even if the suspension is garbage, you come back into the pit grinning every session.

Congrats! Sharp looking bike...welcome to the dirty side.

I sold my old Skool HD Road King! Check this bad boy out! 2500 miles, new Shinko 705's, SW-Motech Skid plate and engine guards. I now have to speak English, not 'merican. I've never owned a Brit bike before, but seems pretty straight forward so far. Tank bag on order, hooking up the Gerbing harness and Ram mount tonight. Looking for opinions on panniers/bags.

cool story bro...

I guess I should have shared some of my favorites. 26 from Marietta, 565, 78 West of 77, 377, 144, 329, 775, 141, & 681. I use motorcycleroads.com alot. I just start hitting random roads and usually stumble into something good. I'm spoiled living in SEO, so take my opinion like a grain of salt.

I know exactly what I need A 675r and a vfr1200/fz1/ninja1k

@Ti' Ama Here's a link to the Bike event at Fuel this Sunday. https://www.facebook.com/events/918297681632827/ Also a link to the Devil's Staircase Hillclimb event in Oregonia. Probably be a group that rides from Fuel up to the hillclimb around 10-11ish. https://www.facebook.com/events/200689640279681/

No worries, I will find some.

FWIW, which isn't much. I don't think you are saying anything bad about the rider. He made a mistake, that does not make him bad. And I think getting the full story out there is the right thing to do.

Lol keeping quad no worries ?????
