The rain really wasn't that bad except for about 10 minutes where it looked like we picked the wrong day to ride. We kept the pace appropriate for the road conditions. As long as you're moving you dry up pretty quickly.

Nice bike, but it'll be hard to sell it for more than MSRP.

how was 536 what did you think of it?

I've ridden 536 quite a few times. Honestly, it's not one of my favorites. It's was in good shape. I don't recall any gravel or debris, but it does have those annoying 'speed bumps' before some of the curves.

The morning started OK, but as we got closer to Millersburg we hit rain and got pretty soggy. Just after Doomking split off we met Big Speasy at a gas station in Millersburg. It was raining pretty heavily and we debated calling it a day. After a quick radar check and some weather recon from a guy on a cruiser we decided to press on. About 5 miles past Millersburg the rain stopped. We kept the pace pretty mild until we made it to dry roads.

The 2nd half of the day was MUCH better, the sun came out and we picked up the pace for 26, 536, & 255. Then we REALLY picked up the pace on 800 as we headed back North.

Despite the iffy start it wound up being a good day of riding. I finished with a little over 450 miles for the day.

I'll be heading out shortly.

If the weather cooperates, I'll be there in the morning.

Wow I missed all the action.

I think IP summed it up. Get your suspension done or suck cow balls.

Understanding suspension setup is...ummm...beneficial for sportriding.

Tony, I did 83 to 78 recently prior to that I hadn't been on 83 south of Coshocton. About half of the distance from Coshocton to 78 is new pavement very nice. I have not been on 83 south of 78 and that is why it is on this route.

Looks like we are going to do 8-2 I will start a new post about this later tonight. What are your guy’s thoughts about including 536 or not?

I was planning to ride into WV on Sunday with at least 1 other guy. Our route home from Marrietta is pretty much the same as what you mentioned...26, 800, etc. Perhaps we can meet for the return trip.

btw, I would say skip 536. not really that much fun.

I'm leaning toward 8-2 also I just checked the weather and it looks good for that day. The route is 398 miles from 82 & 83 and back. 83 to 550 to 26 to 800 to 7 to 255 to 800 to 250 to 83. This can be changed up if you guys from up here want to do 536. Where 26 runs into 800 instead of going down 800 to 7 we could take 78 to 536. I don't care which route as long as we keep 255 in it. There has been a lot of talk about 536 so I understand folks wanting to check it out.

How is that southern stretch of 83? I haven't ridden it in about 2 years, it wasn't in very good shape back then.

The 1st 15 miles of 26 out of Marietta is recently repaved and very nice.

Curiosity is peeked.

There were adds with the Blast cube in a few motorcycle rags. Seemed like they were setting the stage for new model to replace the Blast...but the 2010 models are on Buell's website as of yesterday with nothing new to be found.

If there isn't a replacement, that is an interesting way to announce that a model is being discontinued.

I couldn't make it due to family stuff. I'll be riding to WV this Sat or Sun depending on weather.

I told one of my girlfriends via e-mail that, because it was a nice day, I rode my bike to work this morning. Her response:

"Damn JJ, you are manly as fuck. Are you a lesbian now or something? Regular women don't ride motorcycles.. is there something you need to tell me?"

***SIGH** she didn't even "LOL"

She's jealous. Chicks on bikes are hawt.

Saddle soap.

Let me know if you'll be in Parma...

What are you looking to get for it?

If a non-cop pulled that, I bet the local fuzz would have handled it a bit differently.

Since cops are sworn to uphold the law, I think their punishment should be doubled when they violate it.

I'll take a set if you're passing them out.

Obviously' date=' you've never witnessed a prosecutor try to convince a Grand Jury that you aren't competent enough to handle the firearm you used. It isn't cut and dry like you might think it is. With the passage of 'castle' we got a leg up in the defense area but it still isn't gravy by any means.

Being able to convince a jury that you are as competent and trained as possible goes a long way on your behalf.

I don't care what class you guys take. It's a free country.. do as you please. I was just offering a little insight since I kept hearing 'cheaper is better' and since that usually doesn't apply in the real world why would it apply now?? Don't get the idea that you know everything about firearms and the laws that concern them. This isn't target shooting at grandpa's farm. We're talking deciding to carry a gun that you may have to use to defend your life or the life of another person. If you are ok with a 'cheaper is better' outlook when considering these possibilities then, by all means, have a ball. Just be careful and make sure you cross reference EVERYTHING your instructor has to say. You'd be surprised how many don't know what the fuck they are talking about. [/quote']

Prosecuters will twist everything they can...

If you use a hot load or a high end hollow point, they will paint you as a cold blooded killer saying that regular rounds aren't deadly enough for you.

Hey Tony, roughly what time will you be passing through Beach City - I could meet you there? I would like to join this ride - I've ridden a few roads in that aree before but would love to check out the ones the locals rate highly.

Bill,

I'm 50/50 for this ride, I'll let you know if I'm going for sure. I was trying to remember how long it takes to ride from Bolivar to Coshocton via 93. It's a little over an hour if memory serves.

In that case, Route 66 would be my choice. I'm sure there is plenty to see along the way. The great thing about a trip without a firm destination is you can explore and follow whatever catches your eye.
