Travisty

Headed to NCM this weekend as well.

Looking at Mid-O website. Monday must be full. When I try to sign up, Monday doesn't show as an option.

I was there too!

I currently am ridding one. I like it so far!

I was working the Triumph camp. First time we have been on an IMS tour since 2012. This was the first Cleveland show I had been to. Pretty good crowds. Met a lot of cool people. My feet are still swollen. lol

Still needs a home.

I made a mistake. It is a 54/44.

Still have it.......

Still cheaper. I would lost my licence as well. You don't NEED a lawyer either. Just show up and ask the judge to change the charge to a non-moving violation. Works more often than you would think.

Bump, bump, bump.

I have gotten many speeding tickets. Not in some years, knock on wood. I had a close friend who was a lawyer. He told me to keep my mouth shut, and never talk to the cop, unless you had too. We would always go to court. We never argued money, only charges. The insurance impact is always greater than the ticket. He once got a 10 point/600.00 stop dropped to a "Parked on the road illegally", which turned into 4 points and 700.00. In the end I kept my license, and my insurance. The courts clearly only cared about the money, and I was happy to give them one payment, instead of double insurance payments for years.

WD-40

Finished with the KDX, for this year anyway. This year we replaced every bearing in the chassis, rebuild the front suspension, new seat cover,rebuild the rear suspension, and put on a super cool graphic kit.

I have a 2pc Dainese Laguna Seca 4 suit. Size 56/46. Perforated. Retails for $1300.00 Never warn. 800.00 if picked up.

Finally got the race bike back together after my crash at Blackhawk raceway. It has been about a month. The two pins in my left hand come out in 9 days. https://youtu.be/JfeZbN0Wrjw

Normally not a big deal. Every weekend for the last two years I have taken them to a race weekend. This is the first time they are visiting me in Ohio, so we are going to spend the time together.

Kids are coming to visit. I don't think they would like it if I made them go to another race track.

Just got off an 11 Day Road trip for work. The 2018 tiger 800 XRT was the right tool for the job. Only five of those days are in the rain LOL.

Took the KDX to "The Doug" yesterday. Good times. Still need some carb tuning......I hate carbs.

Triumph of Cincinnati is under new management. His name is the same as the last managers, so don't be confused. The old manager was let go last fall.

Took the track bike to Autobaun last Monday. They were running the full course, couldn't pass that up. But the top case and panniers on my demo. I will be on the road 11 days starting next Tuesday! Got the forks rebuilt on the KDX, along with the new head stock bearings. Can't wait to ride it.

I used to be a Tech. I would only work for Flat Rate. Hourly is for amateurs. My first job was hourly, once I realized how much money I was throwing away, I quit. I made twice as much in a good shop making flat rate. Not mention when the work was done, I went home. This was awesome in the slow season. But in the peak season I worked 12-14 hour days. Made enough to take voluntary lay off in the winter. This is only possible through a good shop! If you are a "A" level tech making less than 50k a year, leave that shop.

New head stock bearings in the KDX. In the middle of fork rebuild now.

Tempting, although the street legal bike I have right now is a Tiger 800. I can rail it, but it just isn't the same.

I'm old. I'm new to the group. I live in Cincinnati. Look at all the things we have in common. lol
