  1. Whats wrong with the dream ride planning? https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=1058+E.+Main+st.++Newark,+Ohio+43055&daddr=40.06203,-82.35553+to:40.040461,-82.3093381+to:OH-668+S%2FBrownsville+Rd+to:OH-668+S+to:OH-78+E%2FOH-78+Scenic+E+to:OH-669+W+to:OH-669+W+to:S+Columbus+St&hl=en&sll=40.065001,-82.348709&sspn=0.037639,0.077162&geocode=FXpJYwIdpEEX-ym9MHmkniI4iDGHKe2WNG4fww%3BFU5MYwIdtloX-ykDFmWphCI4iDEKsETT2b2bRw%3BFQ34YgIdJg8Y-ymDXqc1sBg4iDEPN4oQ3-jHQg%3BFYYVYQIdxeoY-w%3BFX4jXAIdtpsX-w%3BFcAYXAIdOhcd-w%3BFYlaXQId85Ye-w%3BFaVuXgIdLn4b-w%3BFapTXwIdvEkY-w&mra=ls&via=1,2&t=m&z=10

  3. I say sell this one and buy the newer version with the extruded aluminum deck. Everything will be up to the standards you are looking for & close to the some money that you would spend adding materials and labor to this one except you know what you have is done right and you won't be disappointed in someone’s work that doesn't meet your expectations. Use pit bull trailer restraints.
  4. Mine is only used to take new people shooting, give them exposure to different platforms to let them decide what manual of arms makes sense for their logic. Women like it and can't seem to tell a difference but they are mostly overwhelmed by the experience. Most men when given other platforms to compare against don't care for it. It is rock solid reliable but cycles so slowly it’s laughable and annoying. The safety is and always will be stupid.
  5. MT doesn't like to be seen, ride the designated route or complete the ride, he's so cool like that.
  6. I have a M9 but none of our opinions will mean that you have the same experience with it. Having one in your hands is not the same thing as shooting one. I love the way it feels in my hand but it is the slowest cycling platform I have, I hate it & a safety is stupid on a personal weapon.
  7. You kids & your loud motorcickles! It was nice meeting you.
  8. Jealousy will only get you made fun of.
  9. The tractor wouldn't have fit in, didn't the front three bikes need to be a Honda. Besides if that ugly bike that I want so badly had been there I probably wouldn't have been there. The ride was great but getting there & getting home sucked. I now have ridden my bike more this year than last year, five whole times.
  10. All the roads were clean, when I asked if anyone wanted to change their spot no one moved up, I didn't hear any complaints, I even remembered to slow down on the straights which is something I have a problem with at times. We had a good group I think the guy that volunteered to sweep might have had more fun & I probably should have switched spots with him to give him a chance to have some fun. We had one mechanical but it was just a rear brake leak that was found before it put him down. MT had a missed turn but I don't count his antics as a reflection of the groups sanity. I have been involved with groups of this size before and most everybody wants to be in the fast group, even some that shouldn't be. This group was different; we even had to recruit some guys that wanted to be in the medium group to ride with us because we had such a small number that wanted to be in the fast group. Everyone belonged in the group and proof of that is that no one went down and no one came up to me to tell me that anyone in the group was riding over their heads. I enjoyed the day & I hope the rest of the group did too.
  11. My ears have finally recovered from having the twin roaring in my ears. He was behind me but I could hear him over the sound of my bike. Who says sound is directional?
  12. Why would you go that far to ride those roads when you have great roads closer to you? The route was a good route with a great location for a state wide event but Ohio has better or just as good roads to offer closer to you. I wish I could remember when I got hooked on back road twisty riding but its fun to see people experiencing it for the first time and even more fun when they enjoy it.
  13. Touchdown Jesus has been replaced with Zombie Jesus.
  14. Am I to assume it's true that I.P. belongs to the N.R.A. this I have my doubts about? Why would anyone belong to such an organized lobby when their mission is involved with a constitutional right, sounds like extortion from the sheep to me?
  15. Dark hair, gray beard, stylish green one piece suit, riding red Honda. When or if you get any video with I in it please speed it up. Whenever I see video of someone else riding I think why is that idiot going so fast don't they know that shit is dangerous. When I see clips of me riding I think, "Why am I going so slow.” Must be kind of like not liking to hear your voice recorded.
  16. There are a few pictures of a guy that looks a lot like me except his beard has too much grey in it.
  17. I thought I took a wrong turn. I memorized the loop this morning but not how to get to the start of it. We should be able to figure this out. The group I was in had nine until MT left to go plow fields on his own. If the leads or sweeps of the other groups can post their group counts we could have a real total. We did okay for organizing on the fly, some things could have gone smoother. Overall what stands out in my mind is everyone made it home safe. This is unheard off with this many people, everyone did a good job by riding in their comfort zone. I understand people are now thinking they would have liked to be in other groups but the overall outcome being crash free means it worked out well for this ride. I can't thank the guys enough that stepped up to lead & sweep, it changes their ride & their sacrifice is appreciated. Especially when pressed into duty on the spot without notice. I would also like to extend another apology for ending the ride the way it turned out. It was selfish on my part because at the gas stop I figured out if I road back to Newark that I would be getting home way after dark, us old guys don't like that plus it would have been colder than it was. Better planning with cooperating weather and this won't happen again. Lose my number please. Us grey hairs need to stick together, you old squid ( Naval, not idiot biker.). I really like 83 between 146 & 78. You should have seen the Kia Sportage on the last ride, he was moving. Thanks for setting this up NinjaDoc, great location & roads for most of the state to attend. All new roads for me except 78 east of 555. I haven't had so many damn pictures taken in my life, where the hell are they? Who was the guy taking all the pictures, he rode sweep in a group & probably didn't make it in any pictures?
  18. That was a nice little ride around Coshocton.
