That image is now and forever scorched into the back of brain till the day I die.

..........I was traumatized.

Awesome!

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

BTW, took Deb out to lunch today at Uncorked in Roscoe Village, rode some really nice gravel east of Coshocton down to I40 and headed home.....odd things today, 541 we had entirely to ourselves. Not a single car or truck on the way or passed us. It was awesome, and strange. Beautiful day for it, too, perfect riding weather.

We only saw three bikes the entire day, and two of them were Vstrom 1000's like mine, one was a guy and his wife touring Eastern Ohio from Indiana, nice folks we talked at a gas stop in Zaneyville. Second guy on a Strom passed us and gave us the "V" salute. The third bike was a KTM Super Duke, which we rode behind a while, that's a sweet sounding machine with an Akro pipe on it.

That almost makes up for those days when I'm out and see 100 cruisers for every one KLR or DS on the road.

First day back to school around here. All the parents rushed home for some daytime sex with the kids gone.

I wish. My wife leaves before the kids do. On the plus side, my morning riding time is looking good.

I heard there were some posts about service at ASK powersports yet I can't find them, and the search function does not seem to help so I am asking if any one can point me in the right direction as to where I can find it.

Thanks
Tom

How's the healing coming along? Have you made a decision on repairing or replacing the bike?

Lately I've noticed cable crossover barriers popping up like weeds along Ohio highways.

It doesn't seem like they take motorcyclists into consideration. Who wants to slide into a roadside pasta guitar?

That's one of the things I genuinely dislike about the American motorcycle culture, which is viewed as a whimsy, a hobby, and not a legitimate mode of transportation (and "bikers" have done nothing to help this...frankly most of the people who do own bikes in this nation treat them as toys). The way bikes are treated by DOT is laughable, and this is an extension of it. No care whatsoever about people hitting those on a bike.

Good reason to avoid multi-lane slabs anyway.

I had an employee whose dad was killed when a trucker crossed the median. He loved those cheese slicers and wanted them everywhere. I feel funny riding roads that have them... they really do remind me of an egg slicer/cheese slicer and I fear them.

Swingset is right... too bad we don't have more commuters riding bikes. I have a friend who started berating me for my choice of a poor gas mileage 4 wheel vehicle. I stared at her and said "but you berate me as being stupid for riding fuel efficient (ha, ha) motorcycles; make up your mind." I like commuting on the bike... it starts and ends the days that much better.
