Adventure in Ohio?

Maybe Sunday. I'm doing some maintenance on the bikes today.

I have a thing @ 5:30, how long of a ride are we talking? Thinking about putting the 450 in the truck & heading over. You guys doing a loop? How much pavement?

You can head back to Danville any time you want. We will be in that 20 mile circle for a few hours. There will be some pavement but not much.

Hola!

Welcome back!!!

Tell us a story, Grandpa!

I'm about ready to head down to Danville.

Well young whipper snapper ,your name came up as in, "I wonder if Byron still has his 800 for sale, that would be a perfect bike down here" more intriguing stories to come grandpa needs a nap.

getting ready to head out of here...thought I'd roll down to Red Rocks Nature Preserve and check it out...then snag a couple covered bridges on the way back...if any of our southern contingent would like to ride along or join me for lunch, my cell phone is 740-tree oh for-one 5 niner-niner. Text or leave a voice mail.

Only took a handful of photos today. Nice ride, met Eric and Steve for the first time, there were 9 of us total.

I managed to cut myself out of the group shot cause I got mad photo skilz.

I do have everyone individually going through the creek, except for Gorman, I only opted to post Steve but if anyone wants their individual shot shoot me a PM.

It was nice to catch up with some old friends and meet some new ones today. Thanks to Alan, Mark , and Mike for showing us around and helping out where needed.

Mark, Alan and I finished up the day at Wills Creek which I found to be a bit of a challenge. Wrestling the pig around all the mud wore me out, but it was fun and a challenge conquered is good for building skills.

I was wishing for a 250 at times today, but the tractor did pretty well.

KLR parts being given away

meanwhile, I got out on Sabrina and did about 250 miles...snagged 3 covered bridges and rode all through the Shawnee State Forest...good place for a dual sport ride, much gravel/dirt roads....only found one very short (maybe 100-150 feet) slick spot but it was a straight so I was able to roll gently over it with no issues (unlike last week when Pete and I went to Leo Petroglyph Park.)

found a burned down house and the shack/garage next to is that survived the fire:







and speaking of shacks, I found a good BBQ shack in West Union:







and managed to snag a great file photo for tag. all in all, not a bad way to spend the day.

Sion, How did your ride go today?


Nevermind

Nice!

Can someone put screen names to the faces? I know Gorman and Alan and of course Meef. Actually some of those old fat white guys look familiar too.

L to R, Jon (Jon), Alan (alansz400), Ron (invisi monster), Eric (Benly), Mike (mgorman), Steve (SteveB126), kneeling is Scott (Scqtt), Mike (mpenner), tiny sliver of Mark (MeefZah)

Looks like its muddier up that way than it is down here. I only did about 175 miles, just scouting around. Found a few cool trails. Considered riding north, but it was 29F when I would have had to leave.
I think I found out why folks like steering stabilizers. I was wide open for several miles on some old AEP haul roads today, 70-75mph, soft spots and potholes give the arms quite a workout on dirt roads at those speeds.

Lots of fun riding with y'all today ! Thanks for the encouragement, tips and reminders, Alan, mgorman & meef. My lack of off road skills was a little embarrassing,

Its G.I. Meef with the Kung-Fu Grip!

Looks like a nice day...hows about next sunday?

My driveway is full of awesome now at least.....2 of the 5 air cooled VW's I now own, and their much younger water pumping cousin...
