How about the guys that built the bikes for Roll On Columbus?

I also remember seeing a place near Alum Creek on 36/37, possibly even more than one in that area. Names escape me at this time.

I want that '49 Chevy!!

I'm going to keep an eye on that as well. I like it.

Just got back from hiking/camping trip. Went to surprise canyon and racetrack playa in death valley and hiked to the bottom of the grand canyon. Didn't sleep in a bed or shower for 5 days... After all was said and done we had hiked ~55-60 miles with elevation changes totaling ~9,000 in each direction.

be safe!!!

sounds pretty awesome, stinky.

Interested in winter backpacking?

This is the one I use: http://www.vintoncountytravel.com/images/ZaleskiBackpackBrochure.pdf

Most of my gear is lighter summer stuff, and my winter bag is heavy. Not opposed to it, I actually prefer cooler days for hikes, but I will need a new sleeping bag first. Something to consider for sure.

It's been awhile, maybe they've fixed things since 2001. Great place to spend a couple days backpacking though. Places with lots of vertical change like this really expose the differences in 2-dimensional vs. 3 dimensional measurements.

For sure. The contour lines on the topo map help, at least warning you of the elevation changes.

Here is a link to the trail map I use....

Did they ever get the mileage fixed at Zaleski? That "as the bird flies" BS caught me seriously off guard a long time ago. I'll be heading back there in a couple weeks.

Yeah, it can be fairly tough, it has kicked my ass before.

I didn't know the mileage was off, the trail maps they have there are fairly accurate from point to point, or at least I thought. ????

I'm doing a thru-hike at Zaleski this weekend. Only my 2nd trip there this year, pretty much always up for a hike-camp though.

art - what area of columbus are you in?

Sawmill Road, sent you pm.

I've got a TI-83 plus if the other doesn't work out, or if anyone else needs one, $40.

Mini Apes at most. I know you have a Honda, but go over to Harley store that has a fit store bike. You can swap through several bars and sit on a bike so you can see how they feel. I think the bars you have will probably be the most comfortable. You can also look into adding risers for a different look and feel.

Yup, I'll be at QSL with TBone. Meeting at Circuit City first @ 7 pm.

cool, and I do mean 8-10. I just realized it was August.

I finally have a Wednesday night free this summer and was thinking of going to QSL or Rule 3. Does anyone from OR even go to these at all anymore?

I'll probably still go with the GF, just curious if anyone else would be there.

I might be in, depending on dates and direction. A fall ride to the NE and I'll probably go, I still need those states to fill my map. 700 miles a day would for sure need to be mostly on the highway as well, at least from my experience. Just stopping casually on my long trips, I usually do 500-600 miles per day in 10-12 hours, but I typically end up riding in torrential rains or brutal heat too.

If you are riding anything more technical than a highway or even a sweeping highway like in WV or CO or something, 300-400 miles might be more like the max. I dunno though, I ride like a typical HD guy and take corners at 3 mph.

meh. The Raptor is a much cooler truck.

If you want to rip someone off use craigslist. If you want to honestly sell something for a reasonable price list it here

Yep. Most of us on here are honest people wanting a fair price if we are selling something. Truthfully, if I was newb looking for a thingamajig that I don't know a lot about, a constructive criticism might make me look twice and do some some more research and find a better going rate. If someone is on here trying to rip people off, we need to put a stop to that anyway and look out for one another.

It goes the other way; if you know something that a member is selling is cherry, let others know; hell even if you know they are standup person, mention it. The best consumer protection in a forum like this is each other.

Tonight!

Fuk Dewd! I've been planning the EM thing for a minute.

And I gotta ask. Are you planning on playing anywhere other than Flannigans?

Stop by after Eddie Money, I'm sure it will be done fairly early.

Lol, yeah, we've got some other stuff lined up, we just all live within a few miles from Flannagan's and its nice and easy to haul crap.

If you guys play "Take Me Home Tonight", I'll be there.

That actually is on the to do list, but probably won't be ready by tomorrow.

Uh oh. This or Eddie Money (http://www.ohioriders.net/showthread.php?t=80553)??? Hmmmm......

We can learn an Eddie Money song in the parking lot for you, well, probably not, but you can pretend we did.

I can bet the likelihood and average distance from floor to old saggy breast is a quite a more at Eddie Money than at Flannagans as well.

Shallowtail Saturday night, you guys know the drill. Come out for a little pre-Meet and Greet libations and sexual frustration.

There is a pool there now too!

Pictures to show the fun we will have:

And for the DTC:

I walked outside today, and this is the coolest temps I've felt from here to California except for the Rockies in the past two weeks. Be glad you're not in Oklahoma, it's brutal there.

Wow, already looking good, no newborn alien head.

I was hoping he would stay baking until next Wed so we could share a birthday, but hey, just glad he came out healthy and Carie is doing well.

Congrats!

Yeah, Florida is pretty lacking in roads that turn or go up and down. Definitely cruiser-ville.

Would it be a surprise to know that there are way more elderly retired drivers in Ohio than in Florida? Except maybe during Snow Bird season...

I ride a cruiser and Florida sucks. So does most of the ride there.

So far in my experience New Mexico is the best state to ride in. Great weather, beautiful country, 75 mph speed limit on sweeping mountain highways and no traffic. Ride I25 for a day along the Rio Grande and you feel like it still 1875, and you are trailblazing on a horse getting ready for a shootout at the next pass.

you havent seen my wife then

Yes, Or my girlfriend.

Did a tire change on my pain in the ass Harley today, pretty much torture trying to remove the horrible design aftermarket exhaust because of the horribly designed axle, he earned his keep today.

It was great deal and he gave me a great deal on a new tail light. Cant wait to have him powdercoat my front fork!
