  1. If you do end up using stone, go with #11 limestone for your top layer.  It packs down really well for riding bikes on it.  That's what I have.  Depending on the subsurface, you could go #2's if it gets soft, or the 304's if it's fairly firm as previously mentioned.

  2. Central Ohio Competition Riders (COCR) is just outside of Sugar Grove.  It's a private club, but when you become a full member (work races and work parties), you have 24/7 access to track and trails.  Let me know if you'd like more info.

    I believe Tecumseh Trails outside of Shawnee is open year round, but has more side by sides than anything.

  3. She won.  And the first 200 mile ride yesterday made me happy that she won.  Got it used from a guy up in Meatchicken.  It came with about $9k in extras/accessories, including the tour pack, upgraded sound, passenger backrest with optional luggage rack, and lots of other upgrades/gadgets.  Loving this thing so far.

  4. Thanks guys.  We went to Iron Pony over the weekend and got to test ride a couple of Indians.  Roadmaster and Challenger.  We really enjoyed the Challenger, and there was definitely more room for my 6'2", 34" inseam.  That Challenger spoke to me.  But I do still want to give the Wing a try, even though the wife is totally against it.  She loves the Indians.

    I know.  I'd love to be able to ride both.  I'd like to find someone that has one getting dusty in the corner that would like to make a couple hundred bucks off of it.  

    Meaning rent me one for the weekend, or a day.  If anyone knows of such a person, I would very much appreciate contact info.

  6. Hey guys,

    I rode with a couple of wings over the weekend (sans rear tour pack?), and am getting closer to getting my wife to look at one with me.  She's always said they were old man bikes, and that I needed to wait until I was 50.  That was 3 years ago.  Now she says 60....lol.  It's all good.  Ultimately, I can do whatever, but would really prefer her blessing.  I've been trying to find a rental, but have been unsuccessful. 

    Does anyone know where I could rent one for the weekend, or even a day?  I think if I could get her on the back of one, she'd be all in. 

    Any helpful info would be greatly appreciated. Ron

  7. Looks like a great trip.  The Dragon was pretty empty last Tuesday and Wednesday.  We were in Maggie Valley for the week.   Glad you're home safe, but the Vid can suck it.

    I've got to get my wife on the back of a wing some time.

    Kinda new to the group and glad to be here.   Many thanks to Ben and others who ported over the CR Forums.   Hopefully the fun and contacts continue.   I was a member there from 2006 to it's close but been in contact with many from the forum well before that dating back to the mid to late 90's.

    I've contacted Ben about possible sponsorship here as I did there.   My side hobby and gig to help my kids learn to connect and run things is a detailing service.  Started years ago with my son, who has since moved on to college, but in 2022 my daughter stepped in and as she turns 16 now is helping out and learning the ropes!   :)   Proud Papa checking in here.

    I'll provide more information once sponsorship is set up but until then, here are our personal vehicles.  Sons in college so nothing fast fun or expensive as priorties shift but they are what we have in the stable.  Hit me up with any questions or needs from interior steam extraction to ceramic coatings.  Happy to help.

    My Daughter has a 2010 CR-V with just under 70k miles
    My Son rocks a reliable 2014 Corolla with 98k miles
    Soccer mom is in a 2018 CX-5 with 53k miles
    Dad is sporting a 2019 Accord Touring 2.0 that just broke 28k miles

    Welcome Tim!  Where are you located?  I'm interested in getting a couple of vehicles detailed.  Thanks. 

  9. You can check in online at most of them, then text them when you get there.  Should be in and out in no time.

    On a side note, I waited at the Pataskala BMV for about 45 minutes the other day when I overheard someone say that the people that check in online go straight to the front of the line when they get there.  I left.  Went to Logan and there was not one person waiting.  Walked right up to the counter and took care of business.
