can you send some pics?

It was definitely a fun ride. U.P. was fast on 255, he waited for me. There are a few roads where I dial it down when the sight lines aren't great, like 536, 555, and 255. 255 is the most fun of those 3, but still not one of my favorites. U.P. Next time we can go a bit deeper into WV, there are a few roads similiar to 250, but in better condition.

Sometime this week, I need to find a day to head that way after work.

U.P. It's for the Buell. The Buell uses the same pin as the ZX6R, per the Pit Bull site. I'll prolly need to have it on a stand for a couple weeks...so I wouldn't want to inconvenience you if you'll need it soon. Long story...but the previous owner cross threaded a spark plug

Anyone near Parma, have a front stand (the pin type) that you are willing to let me borrow for a week or 2?

What is the condition? Are the mags hi-caps? What is the aftermarket barrell...is stock pipe is still there?

how much for the XD?

The ride was great, the weather was so-so. The roads were wet from Cleveland to Akron & I got pretty soggy. What better way to dry out then hanging in the breeze for 400+ miles. Other than that, the roads were mostly dry, never really saw the sun until the ride home. I met Uncle Punk in Bolivar @ 9. From there we took some favs to the Ohio River and crossed for a twisty WV loop. Crossed back into OH hit 255 & 800 home. We kept up a brisk sporting pace all day until we split at 77 & 212. We'll have to do it again... Now I have to get ready for a softball double header tonight.

The roads are a little wet this morning, but it doesn't look like any moe rain is in the area. I'm heading out in a few minutes.

It's on 212 about 100 feet from 77.

We should be back to Akron by 2:30 or 3 depending on the route. Bags...we don't need no stinking bags. I don't have an exact route in mind yet. There are plenty of good roads in SE OH. We can do an OH route or cross into WV depending on schedules. I know the roads well so we won't be getting lost either way. I won't say no cruisers, but I will say I generally ride at a pace beyond the capabilities of cuiser suspension and tires. No one will get left behind, you are welcome to come for all/part of the day & see if this is your kind of riding. Again...Bolivar DQ at 9 leaving at 9:15. I plan to be back to Cleveland by 4. Let me know for sure who's going to meet at the DQ.

I thought that was because I slowed it down to ride through the park with some newbs.

Thanks! The baby is doing great & he is keeping us busy. I am still squeezing in some rides, but there won't be any multi-day trips this year.

I'll prolly just ride 1 day this weekend...sounds like you can't do Friday.

I have Firday off, so I'm riding. In Bolivar by 9 leaving at 9:15. The pace wil be brisk, the roads will be twisty. The route will be SE OH and maybe cross into WV. If the weather doesn't cooperate, I'll ride Sunday instead.

255 is not as fun the other direction. It doesn't flow nearly as well & there are a few gotchas including a hill that will launch both wheels if you crest it over 40 mph or so.

I'll be riding next weekend.

If I didn't already do 2 long rides this week I would be in.

This statement should be on an IQ test. If you agree with it you FAIL.

I realize not everyone is into that kind of mileage. You kinda have to work up to it. It's just about my favorite way to spend a day off. I've done 2,000 miles over 4 days a few times (mostly WV & VA), but with a new baby I won't be doing that this year. I find the twistiest roads possible, limit stops to every 120 miles or so, and avoid highway like the plague. I'll prolly do this ride again or something very similiar in July. FOX let me know if you want to plan something.

Too bad there were no brave souls to join this one. I logged 615 miles for the day & the weather was perfect. The route was basically Cleveland>>Bolivar>> SE to Hundred, WV>>SW to Smithville WV>> back home via some of most twisty roads in OH and WV. Time for a new tire.

I am planing on a LONG (500+ miles) ride on Wednesday. The weather is looking perfect. So far it's a solo ride, but if anyone wants to meet, I will be in Bolivar around 8:30 am. The route will be WV and SE OH. The pace will be brisk, the stops will be short, & the roads will be twisty.
