I saw a Goldwing in Hannibal today. It was on the Ohio River tugging three barges.

If rides were never posted I for sure would have missed out. It’s how I met every single one of you on here. Most guys outside this forum I talk to about riding for over an hour think I’m crazy. I would say we are a rare breed and all of the posted rides I have been on only bring out experienced mature riders. Obviously excluding the epic rides but that has multiple groups and if you go with med-fast to fast group I have never experienced any problems. If someone complains about the way a person organizes a ride, the road that led them to that ride also can lead them home. Jacob organized a ride a couple years ago and the group was a bit large, but we had a blast as multiple guys swapped lead. Doc bottom line is do as you please. There are times when I don’t post anything because I just want to ride solo. My experience has been when I post I only see experienced, quality riders show up. And as far as all this butt hurt crap people talk about, this isn’t Girl Scouts. Save the drama for your mama.

The correct answer is both. There also needs to be more people setting up rides. It was enjoyable yesterday just following along from the back. And people that complain we don't post enough rides that never post rides themselves can blow me.

What Gump said. Was fun. Eastern Ky next

Perfect day at Adkins, no red flags! The weather was great (not as hot as last year), and all the racers did a great job.

Yes please add me.

A lot of this post is just good, common sense, and I completely understand your stance regarding new riders. In my case, I would love to establish a list of like-minded riders whose attitudes regarding safety and generalized preferences reflect mine, just as you have expressed here. But how is this list possible to cobble together without experience, vis-a-vis meeting/riding with new people? Some OR folks have expressed similar sentiments, i.e., "Who can I ride with? Who shares my values for what is considered a great day out?" If I remember correctly, Uncle Punk (Elyria?) recently shared his personal dilemma about this very subject.

I don't post rides because nobody shows up, anyway. The ones that have consistently ridden with me get a group text message. @Howabusa, I will add you to them if you are inclined to ride. I never meant to be exclusionary, but I am very discriminate about who I ride with these days. I don't like new people near me on a motorcycle. I had enough of that shit when all those squids showed up to the EpicRide a couple years back. If OhioRiders wants to be a social club, then let it be that. If it wants to be the sounding board for ride gathering, then that is also cool. I control who I ride with at all times. That means no online ride posting from me. Honestly, I have the best rides when nobody is looking.

Took the Voyager to Hundred and back. I had to get around one truck on 250...and then not a car in sight all the way to WV-7. Traffic didn't start to get heavy until I was on 800, north of I-70. Even then... I managed to make it vanish behind me. Such a nice day for a cruise.

Damn, I didn't see this until just now. I would have gone.

Spent the morning getting lost in morgan and hocking county. Got the GT to first service mileage. 669 between 555 and river road is freshly paved. Had to run it twice. Put down little over 300 miles. This bike might be more fun than a two headed hooker and a salad bowl full of blow. Well maybe....

Adkins....

6.8 lbs lost after week one. On to week 2

I would imagine your brain is still a bit fried from reading case studies, etc for your MBA 🎓

CORE or Central Ohio Riding Enthusiasts has been resurrected on Facebook. Check it out if you are on FB.

Do what you want. This isn't Russia.

We should be posting rides.

Spruce knob good. Spruce lake bad, don’t go that way. Fayetville new river gorge bridge on 82 cool if never seen, otherwise stay out of fayetteville and Summersville. 19 is split 4 lane Harley road. Seeing Seneca rocks sucks, it’s just rocks from a distance unless u like hiking. Highly recommend hacker valley area.

Beverly to WV 3 day loop. Hacker valley RD is a dirt road but not bad. 1 Beverly to Fayetteville WV Gorge bridg.gpx 2 Big bridge to Hacker Valley Road.gpx 3 Directions from Hacker Valley Road to BI.gpx 4 Davis to Beverly.gpx
