  1. Hi, I joined the group a couple of weeks ago and thought it was time to come out of the shadows. I rode bikes in my 20's and have returned now as I start my 50's. And I'm so glad I did! I'd forgotten what fun it can be. Back then my dream bike was a Moto Guzzi Le Mans so following that idea I bought a 2004 Moto Guzzi V11. Which for me has become everything I wanted. One of the features that I like a lot on this site are the road reviews. When you only have so much time on the weekends to get out, the reviews help finding the good roads to enjoy the twisties. The bike I bought in winter 2012 with 6000 miles and I've only put 2500 miles on it. I'm enjoying tinkering and getting the bike tuned, lubed and finding out what all the adjustments do, as well. Looking forward to getting to know you lot better. Tim

  2. You're right. My post was unnecessary. I'm sure everyone here can make their own judgment.

  3. Here ya go, my welcoming-you-to-the-site gift, one of the best twisties rides you can possibly do anywhere near Columbus, or all of Ohio for that matter... 1/2 of clear creek rd is pretty darn rough, but the scenery and the smooth half plus being able to link it with Revenge Rd are very well worth it. http://goo.gl/maps/0URjz If you want to stay off of the 35 minute divided highway route on 33 as much as possible, take 317 Hamilton Rd southbound off 33 to Groveport Rd, make left, make right on Lithopolis Rd NW, right around the Rock Mill/Covered Bridge/Waterfall, hang a right on Mt Zion Rd to end, left on Crumley, right on Delmont - which is where the route starts on that map at Delmont and US-22 (just west of US-33 and US-22). you can also intercept Lithopolis Rd southbound off of pretty much every exit after 317). In Hocking, Thompson Rd (Thompson Ridge Rd as it is called just west of 374) and a few segments of 374 and 664 are the only crucial roads missed in the Hocking area on that route map. Kreashbaum has a few nice curves also, and Goose Creek Rd is good. Do Thompson as a one way and turn around, nothing fun to link to at the end unless you need gas just north on 56 there in Laurelville. Oh-78 past Burr Oak is like the big brother to Thompson Ridge Rd, very epic ridge views but much further. You can also interchange a segment of 678 (left turn at 374/180) to skip the flat part of 374 that merges with 180, but you miss some other good hills after 374 splits again south from 180. and be extra cautious on Harble-Griffith and Chapel Ridge, many many off camber and decreasing radius turns can bite you bad if you aren't expecting them - take blind corners slow until you've ridden it several times.

  6. Well it's not me... Especially if he found the package under the seat. If he didn't find it, then I'd love to meet him and see the bike... You know... For old times sake. Other wise I have no idea what you are taking about.

  9. TLDR. Nobody gives a fuck about your laser shit. I stopped a property theft and likely scared 3 scum fuck thieves badly enough to make them think twice about trying that shit again in my neighborhood. /thread
