Some etiquette to help us all better as suggested by many riders: Grab a bite if you want before ride as there wont be lunch stops. Ideal maximum group size is ten riders with a lead rider and a tail (sweep) rider. These two riders should be interchangeable in skill level so that the sweep rider can evaluate and help the riders in front of them. These two riders need to know the count of how many riders are in their group. The lead rider needs to wait at all stops for the sweep rider to give him a thumb up. At each stop the leader or sweep rider can switch or at their discretion ask and allow a new formation of the line. Do not allow passing other riders in same group once the ride has started except at starts. Passing slow moving vehicles might be needed for the faster group, when doing this each rider makes times and judges it for them self. Dont wait for the group to pass as a whole. At times might have to cross double yellow to pass. Both group leaders should know the route well and if possible have ridden it prior to event. Do not allow changes of groups at stops (Unless both ride leaders of both groups are aware of the change and it does not raise the group count to over ten riders.) If a rider has to leave a group early make sure they tell someone in the group. Do not pass except at stops. If you picked the wrong spot in line of your group ask to change positions at stops. Start the ride with a full tank of gas. Many folks are planning to grab a bite at the end of the ride, those with time should do it as it will be fun. The unfortunate long haulers will start back to get home before dark. There are fourteen hours from sunrise to sunset that Saturday. Sunrise is 6:30AM that morning and sunset is at 8:30PM. Suggest that you start the ride at 11:30 going to 3:30 starting and stopping at the same location. This allows folks traveling from around the state four hours of travel time to and from all in daylight. Leave home 7:00AM arriving at ride start by 11:00AM. Gas up and join your group to leave by 11:30, group ride to 3:30PM, and gas up to head home by 4:00PM, back home by 8:00PM. The Groups Always start one group below what you feel you ride. Meaning if you think your fast, start with medium fast group and if you are comfortable move to the fast group during gas break after letting the lead and sweep know. Better to be safe than sorry. Remember we might be riding roads very new to you. FAST : one group -Usually 70mph on the straight and 25-30 mph over the posted limit of curve. -The people who belong to the group know they belong to this group, they dont think they belong here. -Dont jump in here unless you been riding with such fellows for some time. eg: UP, Midgettod, Hutch, Core rides Medium-Fast: two groups -65-70mph on the straight and 20-25 over the posted limit opf curve. - This is the usual fast rides some group rides do, still dangerously fast -Jump in here if you been riding for a while and is comfortable at these paces on most roads Medium : two groups -65 mph on the straight and 15-20 over the posted limit opf curve. - This is the everyday regular group rides pace, -Jump in here if you been riding for a while and is comfortable at these paces on most roads Slow : two groups -60 mph or around posted limit on the straight and upto 10 over the posted limit of curve. - This is the a very comfortable yet fun group ride, -Jump in here if you like doing friendly fun rides and also new riders must join here -The last two rides most people rode this group showing zero ego issues and they had most fun, - No ego in both years kept our rides with 0 casuality Cruiser and heavy touring: one group -All the mammoth bikes and cruisers -They enjoy the road and own the road at their own pace -Made sperate group just in case there is enough numbers -more than free to join any of the above group based on their own preference. Fast- Jschaf Fast-Medium- Gasser Medium: Hailwood Medium- Mykill Slow- Pokey/ Bmwnut Slow- Alzheimer Sweep: Fast-: Inyaz fast-medium- Fiji9brother Medium- bad324 Medium: Whaler slow- DAC / OSUmj/ Cdubyah slow- Firedog/ gunner So pairing would be kinda like this, Jschaf -inyaz // Gasser-Fiji // Mykill -bad324 // hailwood- whaler // Pokey-firedog:Gunner // Alzheimer - DAC:OSUMj1 point

The ol' bladder isn't as elastic as it used to be. A friend suggested to not drink anything the morning of a ride. But, without two cups of java, I'm nearly comatose until noon. And, those two cups demand to come back out in a timely fashion. During the 2012 Dream Ride, if it hadn't have been for bmwnut missing a turn in Malta, and turning us around at a gas station, I would have arrived in Zanesville thoroughly soaked. And, it wasn't just me that had to go. I've thought about a solution to a needed bathroom break when the rest of the group ahead of you, with bladders of steel, ride off without you as you wonder off into the woods for relief. Has anyone tried anything like this? There are attachments for women as well as men. http://www.biorelief.com/products/portable-toilets/stadium-pal-kit.html I'm thinking, forget the bag. Run a tube that reaches two inches below the boot (while sitting on the bike), pull off to the side, leave a puddle, and catch back up with the group. It is suggested for ...Traveling, Flying, Hunting and Fishing, Aviators, Concerts, Physical Therapy, Pub Crawling, And Long Distance Motorcycle Riders, Prostate Recovery. One "Iron Butt" rider had the following to say: I am a long distance motorcycle rider from Londonderry, NH. I compete in endurance events all around the United States. Recently I rode in the Ironbutt Rally, an 11 day, 11,000 mile event known as "The World's Toughest Motorcycle Competition." www.ironbutt.com Endurance riding requires the rider to solve equations of fuel management, time and distance, as well as endurance. If I have to stop every few hours to pee, it defeats the purpose of carrying 11.5 gallons of fuel. I have been using the Stadium Pal for two years now, and using it has allowed me to drink fluids continuously while riding, without the worry of finding somewhere to stop. It allows me to concentrate on riding, and allows me to only stop when I need to refuel or rest. There is nothing worse than holding it in for hours looking for a good place to stop. It eliminates the need to use the always clean restrooms, and leaving my well-equipped motorcycle in an unsecured location. The Stadium Pal prevents dehydration and muscle cramps. I can't praise the Stadium Pal enough, I love to brag about my "tube", and my favorite line is, "Do you know what I am doing right now?" Feedback? .1 point

I love how people feel the 250 doesn't have enough power for the street. Now the judgement includes the 300. Who has RIDDEN a 300 aggressively through the RPM range, and thinks it is not enough for the street?1 point

My first thought was "what is their relationship with AFJ, friend or foe?". Then I pictured 50 bikes on 275 at midnight acting out Road Rash. Then I got scared and went to my quiet place.1 point

Hey y'all. I introduced myself about a week ago and a whole lot of you guys and gals are really good cool ppl So.... I'm wondering if anyone wants to get a bike club or bike/car club going? I've got about 10 ppl from around fairfield Hamilton west Chester Middletown area ready to go and were looking for anyone that wants to join in and go do some group cruises hit some bike nights track nights cruise ins stuff like that. Maybe have a family day every so often to bring the kids and spouses out to BBQ or whatever just have a good time together. No president stuff. No monthly dues or anything crazy just pick a name get some stickers made up and go cruise or race at the track or if one of us has a bike problem or something we can get a bunch of members together to help get it goin again. Just something to have fun and try to stay out of trouble doing throughout the spring and summer. If anyone's interested let me know and ill give out the number so we can all meet up and meet everyone and go from there. And btw I don't care what you ride so let me know guys thanks-1 points
