UP, 536 is a fun road , but can definitely result in a scratched bikes. The turn in your 3rd and 4th post is a decreasing radius 15mph (going south) that has claimed many bikes. It's nice to see someone else on this board who isn't put off by 400-500 miles of twisties in a day. Perhaps we can get together for a ride this summer...

I rode 536 today, gravel wasn't an issue.

There should be a lot more Vespa riders.

I've ridden with Kathy on CORE rides, she can outride most of the people I've met from OR.

When HP>IQ bad things can happen.

There have been several new rides...for now 05 XB9SX & 05 CBR600F4i. If not this weekend maybe next.
-
Kathy...haven't seen you in awhile...you should show up Sunday.

If NEO'ers want to hit the really good stuff in SE OH, it's a long day but well worth it. We do it 10-12 times a year. Typically, I am on the road before 8a, home before 5p. We keep the pace brisk & the stops short. Depending on the route it's usually around a 450 mile day. I may do a SE OH loop this Friday and for sure on Sunday.

Park the car in the driveway, you can never have too many bikes. -
So basically it's a revenue increase for Independence that the taxpayers didn't get to vote on and another excuse for the police to profile bikes...bunch of fudgepackers.

You're leading next time

536 is definitely a fun ride & one of the most technical roads in or near OH. There are a couple turns that have claimed more than a few bikes. I suggest taking it easy the first time you ride it...you'll see why.

When the pavement is in decent shape 26 out of Marietta is very good, unfortunately it hasn't been is good shape in years (haven't ridden it yet this year). The part north of Woodsfield is always awful.

There are a few decreasing radius turns on 536 that are notorious for eating bikes. I've seen several bikes down and some unintentional off-roading. It's a fun route, but better to take it EASY the first few times you ride it. I'll be heading that way on Saturday.

A Buell with a Jardine pipe & and an ECM that isn't mapped for it. Not suprising. An SV is not as fast as an XB9 or XB12. Even so, straight line speed isn't the XB's strength. If your buddy can't corner an XB, that says more about him than the bike.

Whenever I see custom paint on a sportbike, I wonder how many times it was wrecked.
-
I would have to agree. If you're not interested in buying...stfu. It's not any of your business what someone is trying to get for their bike.

Do you have a pic of the ding in the tank?

Surging is usually caused by uneven combustion. The fix usually lies somewhere in the spark plugs, timing, or TPS.

Not yet, but very soon.

Sold!

Will the real Squid Shady please stand up?
