Any suggestions on a bike trip from Dayton to Put-in-Bay(or similar) to Dayton? The trip would be a total of 2 days(3 MAX). Looking at going for Memorial Day. I can find the common routes on Mapquest, but looking for fun stops/detours etc. Possible lodging as well(not camping). At this point it looks like 3 or 4 cruisers going as a group of friends. Riding during the day and drinking at night.

Thanks everybody! Love the new bike. I will definitely be keeping my eye out for a windshield and bags though.

There is some truth to what you say. Some. The Germans go ape-shit over full size American trucks. If I could take 2 vehicles, a truck would be my next choice. I just hope I get enough ration cards to offset the expense of driving the LS3.

I would trade you even, honest. But...I am being FORCED to take it to Germany:p

Deja-vu, indeed! 09 Pontiac G8 GXP

Last September I totaled my '08 Ninja 250 in a wreck with a deer just north of Kil-Kare. I escaped with no real injuries. I told myself I would wait on getting my next bike, since I will be going to Iraq for over a year. But..........I couldn't take life without a bike anymore. I bought a new '09 Suzuki Boulevard C50(800cc). Silver/grey, huge seats, highway bars, floor boards, F/I... I love it. Insurance is pennies a year(with a less than stellar record). Put 70 miles on last night. Already found the limits of the floor boards in the twisties. I'm glad to be on 2 wheels again.

Early evening, little after 5, I guess. Northbound 75 or 675 don't remember. I was on my new silver/grey Boulevard C50, coming from Middletown Cycles.

I heard you guys coming from a mile away. lol. I was "poking along" in the right lane at 90

Hurts to watch that! Reminds me of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFHwzmzt8GE

Wow. Gad you're ok.

Awesome post! I've bee safety-wiring for 13+ years for the USAF. You did a great job.

That was my initial guess, but not sure?

Many laffs in the pic! Is that a lawnmower tire on the left?

Just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber, you go and do something like this.......... ............aaaaaaaaaand totaly redeem yourself.

GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I HATE STRAWBERRY!

Good find. Now, explain to a teenager what a typewriter is!

Most members of this forum sympathize, but... Some people see the 1.4% raise in the headlines, and may think "At least they are getting something during this recession, when so many aren't." Well, consider this: - The 1.4% raise is only one part of a servicemember's pay. Although I'm grandfathered in, housing pay for members my rank went DOWN 4.8% (approx $60) in Dayton. So in effect, many troops this year will lose benefits or break even. - Compared to civilian counterparts, active duty servicemembers can't just quit/go out and find a new/better paying job. - With the constant moves associated with the military and neverending deployments. Spouses have an extremely difficult time building a career. They often must settle for entry-level positions at their new home, or part-time to manage a 1 parent household. - Owning a home is the biggest investment a person can make in their future. With all of those moves, it is extremely difficult for most to make that investment. Thus, cutting a servicemember's potential worth/stability even more, compared to civilian. Sorry for the rant. I just needed to vent some. I love being enlisted in the USAF. 13 years in and plan for 17 more.

not eaxactly the same, but.... I thought it would be a tremendous hassle digging out my ID card to enter the Air Force base. It takes some getting used to, but then becomes natural, if it is in an easy pocket. Most times, I would have visor up and left glove off, before getting to the gate. Ony a few extra seconds total. In reality, you won't be taking that much more time than most jackasses at cash tolls.

What's Mohican?

I could always bring the G8...

I was trying to work out something local, because I don't want to deal with shipping. Looking at bikes all the time. This is what happened => http://www.ohio-riders.com/showthread.php?t=65835

Going to the haunted prison in Mansfield on Saturday(via Dayton). http://www.hauntedx.com/ Any suggestions on stuff to do, between here and there?

Now...I only want the one. Not trying to compete with anyone.
