Author Message   Thumper74 Posted on Friday, March 14, 2008 - 09:46 pm:        Anyone wanna meet for a pre-Badness ride Sunday? Also, if you're out tonight, it's pretty foggy. Watch out for zombies, they thrive in this stuff. Sadly, you wouldn't know it until you're seized in a clammy grip!

Always looking to cover up my fatbod with Buell stuff.   Wolfridgerider Posted on Saturday, March 15, 2008 - 09:31 am:        Always looking to cover up my fatbod with Buell stuff.

Feel better than ever. Was pumping iron and actually put weight on. Of course, muscle weighs more then fat so it added quickly. Trying to keep- it off. Road the X today. what a treat. Gonna do an oil change and primary. Still not ready to ride full time, potholes swallow everything up quick. Dont want to bend up those PM wheels. Took way to many hours to get them shiny!   Wolfridgerider Posted on Sunday, March 16, 2008 - 11:15 am:        I'm headed to Iron Pony if anyone is out and about.....   Thumper74 Posted on Sunday, March 16, 2008 - 05:43 pm:        Crap I need to go to Iron Pony... I bought a magnetic tankbag last weekend. Too bad the only ferrous metals are fasteners, wiring, brake rotors, axles and my handlebars...   Wolfridgerider Posted on Tuesday, March 18, 2008 - 09:10 pm:        Just wanted to pass the word that Terry Baird is no longer with Farrows. Thats a bummer for us, good for him. He is now selling BMW, Trumpet & Ducks at the BMW dealer on the east side. If ya know him stop in and say hey...... FYI they are closed Sun.& Mon.   Thumper74 Posted on Wednesday, March 19, 2008 - 03:01 pm:        Ducati of Columbus has alot of passionate employees! Sadly, alot of customers were talking about Vespas with a lisp while wearing assless chaps. Heading to Iron Pony tonight after work. I'm a 'tard and got a tank bag WAY too long for the bike...

LOL Been working too much as usual and cant stop this rain. Oh when will it ever end. Looking forward to the summer.   Wolfridgerider Posted on Wednesday, March 19, 2008 - 09:14 pm:        700!! and its SNOWING in C-bus!   Mikef5000 Posted on Friday, March 21, 2008 - 04:04 pm:        I made it to the pony earlier this week. Picked up some flashing LED auxillary brake lights. (already installed, see knowledge vault electronics section) Anybody heard from Gary (JimDuncan69)? I shot him an email to see if he'll be making it to MB5, I'd love to ride with him down there. We're supposed to get more snow tonight and tomorrow morning.   Thumper74 Posted on Friday, March 21, 2008 - 11:47 pm:        No snow! I'm 20 miles from work. 30 miles from home, and on the bike!   Mikef5000 Posted on Saturday, March 22, 2008 - 11:24 am:        It's snowing now, although it's turning to water as soon as it hits the ground. Also, JimDuncan is on the MB5 roll call, so he should be there!   Mikef5000 Posted on Saturday, March 22, 2008 - 12:29 pm:        HAH! The date has been posted! Buell demos at A.D. Farrow H-D/Buell Shop at NorthStar: Saturday, May 10 - Sunday, May 11, 2008 Can't wait to demo the XT with the girl on the back! Maybe we could make an event outa this? Everybody meet at Northstar during the day, ride and demo, then get some dinner. (Message edited by Mikef5000 on March 22, 2008)   Thumper74 Posted on Saturday, March 22, 2008 - 01:09 pm:        I'm game for a Sunday...   Mikef5000 Posted on Saturday, March 22, 2008 - 01:40 pm:        Oops, I meant to specify Sunday. (I work Saturdays too)   Thumper74 Posted on Saturday, March 22, 2008 - 02:41 pm:        I managed to get 6 of those plugs for gear oil. They fit tighter than the accesory plugs for the Fords so I think it would be best for vibration resistance.   Mikef5000 Posted on Saturday, March 22, 2008 - 04:10 pm:        Cool! I have plexiglass if you need some. (you asked awhile back) Lemme know!   Ceejay Posted on Wednesday, March 26, 2008 - 02:18 pm:        the pony's got scorp syncs for 198/pr...I've been thinking of tossing a set on the bolt, anyone got any good/bad stories?   Mikef5000 Posted on Wednesday, March 26, 2008 - 05:15 pm:        Most people love the syncs, but I have yet to try them.   Reepicheep Posted on Wednesday, March 26, 2008 - 05:24 pm:        I love them, and that's a *smoking* good deal. Is that a normal retail? Or a close out deal? I thought you tried you had a set of Syncs and didn't like them? I had MeZ4's and MeZ6's on the M2, and the syncs feel a lot like those, but maybe a little stickier (not a lot), and a LOT better on grass / gravel. Comparing across bikes is hard, but that was my gut feel. They wear "rounder" as well, but maybe thats me becoming a better rider, and going from an M2 to a 9sx. Anyway, thats a great price on a great tire...   Ceejay Posted on Thursday, March 27, 2008 - 10:35 am:        Naw-haven't tried them yet-Ida thought I'd be through those z6's already but they've got about 5,000 on this bike and 2,000 when they were on my M2 and I still have a good 3/16 of tread left, so I'm still riding them. I'm thinking about going and buying a set though just to have them there for when the 6's take a crap, but I've been getting such good mileage out of the 6's, I might just spoon on another set when the time comes. Those sync sure do look cool though.   Ceejay Posted on Friday, March 28, 2008 - 12:50 pm:        I'm not sure if they are trying to get rid of last years or what, I didn't ask much about them, as I was looking for a decent pr of boots and maybe a new skid lid...   Wile_ecoyote Posted on Saturday, March 29, 2008 - 04:54 am:        Gotta check out those tires. At that price, hell yeah. Thanks Ceejay.   Thumper74 Posted on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 03:04 pm:        National Trail Raceway east of Columbus has the first Test and Tune of the season tommorrow (Sunday) 11-4, $15 to run. Who wants to go?   Mikef5000 Posted on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 03:04 pm:        Apparently Farrow's Northstar is also hosting H-D Demo's the same weekend {as the buell demos}. I kind of like that idea, some people might show up to demo a H-D, and end up riding (and of course loving) a Buell. (Message edited by mikef5000 on April 08, 2008)   Thumper74 Posted on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 03:23 pm:        Do what now? There's a Harley Demo tommorrow?   Wolfridgerider Posted on Saturday, April 05, 2008 - 07:25 pm:        The demo's are May 10th & 11th. I can't make the National Trails test and tune. The wifes birth day is coming up and I am on "CALL"   Thumper74 Posted on Monday, April 07, 2008 - 10:57 am:        Scratch the Test and Tune yesterday, I couldn't find anyone to go with me. Anyone wanna go this Sunday weather permitting?   Thumper74 Posted on Monday, April 07, 2008 - 12:23 pm:        Two Canadian guys on Enduro KTMs came into the store on their way to Quebec from Mexico and The Dragon!
