Zoo was near Bristol. Took back roads up through VA, KY and WV. Made it to the casino in Charleston just before the rain rolled in.5 points

Made it Back home pa & ny are great 2lane high speed low traffic roads like 83 and 78 in Ohio except 4times bigger area you could probably drive 300 miles of woods and not hit a city can’t say there’s a Pacific route to take, but the better roads are the ones by putting a point somewhere in the middle of nowhere judging by aerial views, and how twisty they are, the further north, you go, the bigger the mountains are i rode 1480miles of two lanes 40miles of four-lane s only reason to get on four-lane is because of a gravel roads otherwise you actually make better time on the 2lanes Overall northern roads are not as twisty as oh,wv,nc,tn,ky. But road conditions are much better not a lot of cops or patrol perfect to ride 2 up or for cruising or get away from traffic and commercialized motorcycle roads New York food sucks pa food is great5 points

The Canada travels have ended. As far north as you’re allowed to go in Quebec before being turned back because of large fires (just south of Raddison and Hudson Bay) while riding long days on rough dirt and gravel roads, my bike had a major motor malfunction. I knew something bad was wrong and even suspected the actual cause (gear holding primary drive gear into shaft came loose, spun out to grind against the inside of the clutch cover and the destroyed the key and key way on the main shaft) but she still was running strong and I was over 150km from any cell phone signal, motel or help (aside from the occasional logging truck) so I decided to go for broke and rode Sunny till she died at a motel in southern Quebec. From there obtained a rental truck and drove her back to Ohio. Over 80,000 extraordinary miles. Many many borders crossed. Fantastical places visited and countless wonderful people met and friends made in many countries. Hard to be mad even though the experience sucked and was stressful. I’m back at my buddies place in Wooster. Will tear into the bike to see the whole carnage soon. In the meantime, I located yet another 2011 DR650 at a dealership with only 582 miles on it. Sunny is also a 2011 and had 62 miles when purchased in 2018. I’ll be picking up the new bike Saturday in PA and then spend the Fall and Winter prepping and combining the two bikes to get ready for riding to BC the Yukon and Alaska next spring.3 points

@Gpaw Sorry for late response team. Is 8:45 meet time okay with all. @B-Mac come come come it's easy peasy for a cuckoo crazy rider like you @Tonik thinking 83-78-260-26-800 all the way to river. Based on time we prolly have to peel off and cross the river and head south at that point of time. today we road the other side 676 555 78 etc then started climbing north to old battlegrounds of 800 646 164 9 etc Then back down to Cambridge now. shoveling away 550-600 miles per day last two days. Tomorrow will be another 600+ day to get back all the way home todays weather and all these roads forgot how good they were. Took them for granted for many years. After the break to come back and do it, it's entirely different experience. Esp 555 avoided longest time thinking it's still broken up pavement but the part up to 78 from 676 was really good and so excellent. yes Pauly you won the bet, I thought you knew. First bike that I kept over a year now and be keeping long time. 13k miles on it already2 points

I sometimes feel like I have descended into the stereotype of most Ducati riders and I rode my bike the 10 miles over to bike night. Sat around with an adult beverage and looked at it rather than riding.2 points

I will have one person with me, he is coming all the way from Florida to join the ride. Never rode with him before, but when I posted up in local riders chat he jumped in.2 points

Tire/wheel changes. Spare wheels and tires are sitting on warmers in the pits. The competitive bikes all have quick change axels/setups. Can change a rear in under a minute. A front under 2. For our team we put on a new rear for each stint (about an hour each). We used the same front tire without issue.1 point

Sup my old ohio friends, if the weather holds well was thinking of heading up north on friday sep 15 and turn around and head home on sep 16. Was wondering if any of you guys free to meet up for a ride. Would be nice to meet up and ride like old times. Thinking of meeting in New concord 8:30 am and ksu by 9:00, take the usual roads and then i probably head south from the WV border.1 point

Dude, you’re too kind. Thank you for the offer, but it was my hands that couldn’t handle the cold the other day. I have some pretty thick gloves, but they weren’t cutting it. My cut off is usually 50°. When I left on Friday morning it was 42°. I’ve ridden in the upper 40s and been fine. Someday I’ll get off my wallet and buy some heated gloves. Multiple hobbies/toys asking for my money nowadays.1 point

And I don't want to hear any crap about logistics. Friday drive to my house and drop your car. I drive you a couple of miles to the bike. Sunday we drop it back off. Or Friday I go get it, you come to my place Saturday early. Wash it when we get back and I drop it back off Sunday. Or Be a pussy.1 point

Thanks Rick, Fortunately all I needed in that roadside repair was effectiveness and not attractiveness. The steel rod, duct tape, and needle-nose vise grip combination was enough to get me home on the same day I planned to get home. Thanks for the note about the road surface from that awesome-until-it-wasn't day last year. My thoughts from those moments were that I may have locked the front wheel while leaned over, but running out of clearance while tilted to the left is certainly within the realm of possibility as well. Those are lowered foot pegs that the side stand comes right up underneath, probably reducing about an inch from "normal" ground clearance on the left side. Further, the entire suspension was probably dialed a fair bit too soft for my mass as compared to the previous owner (I've since adjusted that to better match my weight as well). However my mishap occurred, I certainly don't have any recollection of the moments between leaning over for the curve and hearing the side of my helmet scrape on the pavement. Anyway, I anticipate I'll be on that same stretch of 377 on September 2nd as I go out for a ride during this year's Moto Guzzi Ohio Rally in Zanesville.1 point

Amanda and I took the Goldwing to breakfast and a quickie around Atwood Lake. Stopped in Bolivar for ice cream and then down 212 to 21/224 back home. About 150 miles and the Wing doesn't even know she's back there. This was her first time back in the saddle since the crash more than two years ago. Everything went smoothly and she's glad she decided to give it another whirl. Twenty bucks says there's a new Goldie in the garage by next spring. 😎1 point

She made it back from Carlisle without any issues....other than the ac freezing up on the highway and blowing fog when it started raining 😂 think it's still just slightly low Only issue on the way there Thursday morning was the cheapest reman alternator they had at O'Reilly's decided it couldn't do anymore than 12v with nothing but the radio on, so I threw in a NEW duralast gold Friday evening in the hotel parking lot, now holds 14v with EVERYTHING on.1 point
