Thank Phil. It is my baby now and I hope to keep her clean and up right for as long as I own her. Whenever you want to trade, let's talk...LoL! Hey next time, maybe you and I can stick it out together. The scenery was great from my point of view... not just a blur... still very cool.

Yes, thank you JCMathis. Your hard work really paid off for me. I was 200 miles of pure white knuckle fun. Can't wait to see where you guys go next. See you then.

Well, I finally made it home after hitting that nice little down pour right out side of Newark on 161. I want to say thank you to all my brothers who made it out. I really enjoyed the trip. I'm officially a "city boy." Those curves on 60 were a trip. It may be a while for me to do that again. My rear end is still puckered and stuck to the seat. I want send to a big "shout-out" to Ben aka danballa. He was extremely patient with me. I couldn't have made it without him. So Thank You very much Ben. Trust me, I know there were a few places where you just wanted to take off. Next time lunch is on me. And Thank You to all of YOU. No one made me feel stupid, "slow" or out of place based on my skill level. This was truly a wonderful fellowship and new found brotherhood. Don't know what else to say, but thank God everyone made it back safe. Till we meet again. Shawn AKA Xfader

Come on Jagr. You can do it. Hope to see you some time this year. I'm getting back to the roads after having back issues. Hope you can do it. Xfader

So far so good. If we get this done early enough, we should stay dry. Trying to find my rain gear. Anyone have Hefty Bag?

Weather Update: It looks like there is a very big front making its way to Central Ohio. It is expected to reach the area around mid day. Does anyone know how long this ride is going to be? http://weather.weatherbug.com/OH/Columbus-weather/local-radar/doppler-radar.html?zcode=z6286&map_id=90

Okay, got schedule changed and bike all gased up. Should be able to meet up with you guys as soon as I get off. Leave time is still 9:30 right? Looking forward to this all week. Ride On Brother(s)!

Looks like the route is planned and all is needed is a few good people who are ready to ride. Should be able to make it there by 9:30. If not, I will try to catch up. See you there.

Never mind, I think I found it. It was on the main page. Let me know if that route changes. Thx. Xfader

Okay, sounds like I will have to get off of work a bit earlier, but I'm sure that I can make it. If I cannot meet at the church, is there a place where I can catch up? Have you come up with a route yet?

Sounds like a great time to be had by all. What time and where will you leave from? Tried to get info from website, but nothing was posted. Thanks

I have to admit that Rick Roush is a stand up guy. He makes sure that if there any problems or issues that cannot be settled by his staff, he will get involved. I bought my 650GSXF from them last year and Scott was the best. He keeps me up to date on all the extras that I purchased. They beat every price from here and all over the state. One thing that I have noticed is that they are now putting expiration dates on all of their forms and cards. Be sure to check them out. I'm glad that things worked out. No harm... no foul. Xfader

Don't know if this was posted, but Sunbury Road from Morse Road to Airport Drive. There are a ton of pot holes on both sides of the street. Be careful, tons of loose asphault and dirt. Just a suggestion/question.. is there a way to have a Google map showing these bad areas? I know as this thread continues to grow, we might be repeating some locations. Also this would be a great way to visualize our routes in one location. This might be a great new feature for the new Ohio-Rides website.

What a great idea and write up Rod38um. Like most, I usually end up carrying my jacket. The GSX65F has a decent helmet lock, but on those hot days we get in Columbus, I will be trying the jacket lock. Thanks for the idea. Like some have already posted, you migh make a pretty penny making up some of these and selling them. You know we are a instant gratification society. Not so much lazy, but we want everything NOW. Great Job and Thanks, Xfader

Love the shirt! Wonder if it will work with all of those people who cannot even read? We already know that they can't drive! I like knocking off the mirrors best. They don't seem to be using them anyway. Be safe out there.
