Hi, glad you enjoyed the first ride, yes gloves, leathers, helmet are a must...wouldn't dream of riding in anything less... I've seen too many very gnasty pictures in Magazines of offs with no protection...

I'm glad you yankee boys are finally getting to ride!!!

'97 Blackbird, all stock... no mods as yet, and I'm not sure there will be any. I'm just one of those types I guess... old fashioned. Something about seeing exactly what you like, and just keeping it real. If she's thirsty, I'll pour gas into her... and if she coughs then I'll change her oil. Sprockets, chain, tires and exhaust... and a yearly check up from me. She's good to go.

Hi daryl, maybe the 3 of us could organize a ride one weekend next month or something, I used to work in highland heights/mayfield, so i know my way around that area pretty well...

Hey Daryl, I'm on the east side of Cleveland. We should get a meet together. I ran into another XX rider yesterday coming home from my mom's house. He was on a 99 I believe.

Mark/Cleveland east side!!!

Hey, that is in my backyard, were about did you work??

magley64 · 04-28-2008, 1:34 PM

Philips Medical Systems, on Wilson Mills Road...

GREAT internship, best 10 months ever...

maybe we can hit china buffet, the boneyard, or DSC (dog sh!t chili) aka skyline..

My group of interns would always hit one of those places on friday, unless we weren't going to be missed for a long time, then we'd hit quaker state for lunch...
