Traded the V-rod for this sexy zx-6r! Had to do the swap in Kentucky but I think we both made out really well. I was looking for a supersport and he was jonesin for a muscle cruiser. Win win and the rain hasn't started yet ?

No sir. More like

First ride since I tore it down. Gotta couple more things to do but couldn't wait anymore. Damn thing was begging to go down the road

It was 1.85$

Well, we can rule out the "I was busy riding" excuse at least.

FTFY. You will be back at it. Happens/ed to all of us.

We will be in the office today but will be closed on Monday in observance of Memorial Day. A day to remember all those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. We hope you all have a safe and enjoyable weekend.

Should be better

Just like everything else, @Tonik was wrong about this.

Sorry, probably too late.... http://www.crawlforcancer.org/columbus

Thought IP was agnostic?

@LoTGoD wow haven't seen you in such a long time. Sad to see you are about quit. Good luck with sale.

I hate you all.

Only thing I am showing you is my ass so you can kiss it. Casper fixed search, it isn't hard. And yes, I searched and found a ton of $1.87/270 references.

These two statements are mutually inclusive.

I thought it was 1.85 too... Show us empirical evidence @Tonik because I can't remember for certain

People who like giant potholes hidden in the shadows under every overpass and maniacs in beat-to-shit 20 year old hondas with a spoiler on the hood and trash can on the exhaust pipe.

i did, all the way around while it was completely closed. With my good friend Ponch.

Who the hell willingly rides 270?

I think: chicken wings = djizz $1.85 around 270 flapping arms = ringo

I think 1: that was Djizle. 2: this is the guy who flaps his arms like a chicken when drag racing...

Odd. I'm signed in to my desktop, phone, and tablet. All work fine. I've signed out and back in as the test user, then back in as Casper without any issues. PEBKAC?

You don't watch much porn do you

Hell your new bike even has trailer time while on the track.

'ass' and 'cummins' should never share a thread title. Nice truck

Da'fuq? Winter already?!

Wow. That's a blast from CR's past. I think I wrote that post like 11 or 12 years ago.

!BINGO!

I am in for this. With the added bonus that @Iron Pony has free donuts at these events.

Yes as tonic said, great scenic clean your senses kinda ride. I think Sticking to upper west end of state on way up is ideal as relatively better roads around there. And if you see an older lady ripping it up on a bicycle just wave hi and don't mention Pauly

When you live in the Permacloud of Ohio, solar doesnt make much sense. Better to charge a battery pack from a running bike to have power available when it's not!

The roads are not awesome, but ok. Great scenery and stuff to see.

And trucks with towing mirrors sticking out 3 feet to the side. At least you can duck under them.

Dont post any more about this and lawyer up.

Most ohio roads are tore up.....one of the reasons I bought a bike with 9 inches of suspension travel!!

I thought I sensed something. 1 Hutch switched to Harley and borrows my bikes now to go zoom zoom, usually only with me 2 I still like to go fast and I'm not responsible for those following 3 I also still like your sister

How's your sister doing?

It's an overrated, ripped up, narrow road with lots of blind turns. Dozens of Ohio roads are much better for motorcycles.

Zrx1200 almost done. Brakes are all rebuilt, on, and bled out. Body work installed. New battery installed. Carbs in and synced. Seat and shocks should be here by weeks end. A few loose ends to tye up and I'll be ready to take her down the road. Looks like it should be done in plenty of time for the gap trip.

Glad we are able to help out! We appreciate the business and hope you guys have a good trip!

Speedo, flip-flops, wife-beater, cool shades...

This is absolutely the coolest thread of the year

Hey guys...I had so good time...all thanks to you and Bubba and his will to share. Here are some pictures from my retreat. Sorry for capturing what you are used to but it is all new to me and always wanted to eat burger in completely regular american road place, sleep in road motel and "wander around" on bike..meet country and people...basically all what I was seeing as a child from Russian and communists controlled Czechoslovakia on not very tolerated American movies. Almost all was touched on my short trip thanks to you and Bubba...and I am just laughing out on his funny posts unable to write similar way as I feel so grateful....thank you old man and sorry for that lost rain cover...and the last picture I took and you said you would kill me if I post it...so I posted it as you are all perfect and don't have to worry https://goo.gl/photos/LoePP2DDBUmW6eVR9

You know what they say...no news is good news. Happy to report that no one died during this exchange, and there won't be an international incident between the US and Czeck as a result of financial loss or liability. Jan and I had a great (short, <100 mi) ride into NKY yesterday morning with a riding bud of mine on some of the goat paths I'm known for. I had an afternoon of pit bike racing planned so Jan headed off on a rambling path along the OH river that we had discussed, spent the night in some appropriately seedy motel along the river, dropped the bike off this morning with an additional 280 mi of wandering on the odo and is headed back to C-bus for his last day of training as you read this. I was waiting to post up the pics from yesterday's ride until he posted about his adventures plunking around the small towns of IN and KY. I'm sure he'll chime in soon. All is well, my friends.

How much longer in Akron. I'll buy you a beer tomorrow night if you are still here.

Meh, I'm old and crotchety. If he kills me and steals my Strom, I prolly deserve it and it's more likely karma coming back to bite me in the ass! Figger it this way: he's a Czech IT expert on an international assignment--if we don't accommodate him, he'll hack the OR website, steal all our identities and sell them to the Russian mob. ;<)

You may pick the bike up any time Sat 29Apr2017 and return it Mon 01May2017 in the evening. Let me know if you want the pannier luggage and I'll put it on before you pick up the bike. The bike is available for you at your convenience if you return from Akron earlier than expected--I'm retired and home pretty much everyday. Weather doesn't look promising for those days, so I hope you have good rain gear!!! I presume you plan on leaving your rental car here for the time you have the bike? Or will you find a ride down and back? No problem either way; I have secure off-street parking to leave the car if that's your plan. You can phone me at 1-513-598-8992 (landline, no text) or TEXT ONLY PLS to 1-513-560-1942. Address is 3910 Powner Road, Cincinnati OH 45248.

Jan: I'll make you an offer that might be better/cheaper than what your you've proposed. I'll lend you my '09 Suzuki DL650 (VStrom, non-ABS) for the time frame you've described. I have two bikes, and I can't ride them both at the same time. Here's the conditions: 1) I'm located in Cincinnati (SW Ohio) which is about 1.5-2 hours from Westerville--you gotta figure out a way to pick up and drop off the bike at my house; 2) I won't ask for any rent money from you--you are borrowing the bike gratis--but we will sign a contract saying that you will be responsible for any damage/loss/theft/speeding citations during the time you are in possession of the bike, and I will require a cash deposit of $500 to be refunded to you when you return the bike in satisfactory condition. Be aware that the drivers in the US are probably an order of magnitude worse in terms of driving skills, attention to the road and other drivers--ESPECIALLY MOTORCYCLES--thatn what you are used to in Europe. Fair warning to be aware and supremely cautious when in the saddle. Bike is in excellent condition, with nearly new tires, newer chain and sprockets, recent brake refresh including fluids, oil/filter change. Bike is equipped with touring windscreen, tank bag, and you can borrow my soft pannier luggage if you need to carry your gear. All I ask is that you check the oil after a long high-speed highway trip, as the Stroms are known to drink a little oil at 65-70+ MPH, and keep the chain lubed as needed. Lemeno. Bill Francis
