Wahoo

Just got home also. 385 miles for the day.  I split off at Strausburg and ran 250 to Ashland then 60 north to the lake.  
 

Great Folks, beautiful day, fun roads and lunch too.  Doesn’t get much better than that. 😎
 

Nice to finally meet a few more OR folks today.  Thanks for letting me tag along. 👍

Got it.  Thx 👍

Schedule has been cleared.  I’ll be at the Shell Station in Fairlawn ready to roll at 9 am.  👍

do you have the routes in .gpx format ?  I’m not sure I know how to convert the google map to Garmin-readable

Make sure to tell Tank I said hey, and be sure to pay your respects while there. Ride safe. 

Will do!  Thanks Dan.  

Speed safely. 👍

A few of us should be arriving at DGMR Sunday by mid afternoon.  Tank (Don B.) from Rideohio should be arriving 6/19.  He’s got a silver Versys 1000 now, not a VStrom.   I’ll be on my white Goldwing.

Ok.  Thx.  I Still need to clear a few things on the schedule for Saturday.  Hopefully I will make it. 

Jim, Is 8:30 the KSU departure time from the shell station at 18 & 77 in Fairlawn ?

Installed the Rox risers on the VStrom after dinner tonight.  From a quick loop around the neighborhood it feels much better.  Hopefully I can get out for a longer ride tomorrow and see how my shoulders feel after a few hours in the saddle.  

Also, New front tire mounted on the Wing and Coolant flush completed.    Looking forward to hitting the road on June 19th. 👍

Ordered rox risers for the VStrom.   I’m tired of sore shoulders 

We’ll be hitting backroads Friday and Saturday in SE Ohio, WV, VA and NC including the New River Gorge Bridge, Rt 16, Shady Valley and the BPR starting around Boone.  I’ll be at DGMR Sunday night thru Friday morning.  Have a great ride !

Were most businesses opened in NC?  Dine-in eating in restaurants yet?

just curious as I’m supposed to be heading down to Deals Gap via the BRP on 6/19.
 

looks like you had good weather. 👍

I recall someone bought $1,000 worth of gift cards for $500, but can’t recall if it was here or on ADV.  If Fontana Village files bankruptcy, gift cards are general unsecured creditors - translation is gift card holder likely get nada.  Really sucks especially if they knew the finances were questionable even before covid 19 struck. 
 

In my past life we called that fraud.

At least they’re riding.  Just sayn 😎

We’ll be at the Gap the week of 6/21 👍

Thank you. Exactly what I was looking for. New and improved look same perfection in comfort, utility and handling that I've made it into over the years.

I guess I’ll need to start looking for a red Connie when I’m down near Mohawk Dam In the future.  LOL

The guy that sold you the parts looks to be “not financially challenged” by the number of toys in his driveway. 

Looks great.   That looks like a brand new bike.  👍

A 195/55/16 will fit the newer Goldwings

they work pretty well on a 2008 too, although I prefer to run a 175/60/16 run flat. 😎

Can’t open the links, but most cities ban shooting / hunting in the city limits.   Can you use a live trap?

Congrats on the new ride. 👍. What color / level is it?

We just renewed our CHLs in Lorain County in early April.  They were great to deal with.  They have reduced the hours for doing this so getting an appointment might take some time.  
 

Erie county does them as walk-ins.  First come, first served.  Not sure if that’s too far for you. 

Thx. 

Looks like a great deal.  good luck with the sale.  Looking at the highway pegs, can the skid plate and pegs be installed w/o installing the engine guard?  Thx

Doc, are the prisoner patients you mentioned coming from Elkton or CCA?

Try Bores Cycle and Salvage in Huron.

+1 on Bores in Huron.  They’re located about 1/2 mile from the BGSU Firelands campus.

You need a CHL? Did that happen when you retired? 

Yes
