I'm in. It'll be good seeing all y'all again.

Forecast for New Year's Day is looking like 26 degrees and cloudy. Looks great! I'm in!!!

Im in.

It was raining when we launched and 30 minutes later it was raining more!! We bailed and went to 62BBQ for lunch. That was really good. There were five of us. We'll try again. No Ohio ride set for May as we will be riding to Deals Gap. Later!!

I've heard you guys put on some good rides. I will be there for sure.......

Watching this video in slow motion looks like he fell off leaning way hard, then slid back into traffic, then Colin hit him in the back, and Valentino hit him in the head area. I can't imagine getting back on the bike being involved in that. Motogp says Colin broke the shoulder and went home to Texas to recover. I just cant imagine........ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/motorcycling/8844174/Marco-Simoncelli-killed-in-accident-at-Malaysian-MotoGP.html

Praying for God's comfort on Colin and Valentino as they mourn through this as well. And for Marcos family. He brought us all great joy doing what he loved.

Not starting? Need any help with it or is it up and going?

It turned out to be a nice ride. GregR6 and I met up at BP at 10 then warmed up for a quick bit then went riding. It was cold getting to Danville but really nice after that. 520 is a bit hilly and blind on the north half but open with some great turns on the south half. It was a little wet and muddy in some spots so both of the bikes are a little dirty - his more than mine. We road it three times before heading back on 62 then home. Nice to meet you in person Greg.

36 in Hilliard right now with frost on the windows. Breakfast at Cracker Barrell is tasting great right now. The warm sun is cresting east Columbus as I write this. The Bandit looked awfully good this morning as the steam poured from the exhaust. Liners in the Cortech gear will really make this morning's ride comfy. I'll be in Danville by 10 and on 520 shortly afterwards. It's gonna be a nice ride today. I should be in thermal shock by 1030 and perhaps frozen dead by 1100. See ya there.

Due to some other commitments I can't start any later. Also since I live on the west side, the quickest way for me is straight up 62. So I'll see you all in Danville.

Hi Guys: Just to make it a separate thread from the CSBA monthly rides, I'm planning on hitting OH520 this weekend for a few rides in "both directions". I am told the northbound version is better. I "really" liked this road from last Saturday's CSBA ride (as well as the others attached to it) and am planning to ride it a few times this coming Saturday. Weather permitting, which looks like 50 and partly sunny, I will be at the Danville BP at 62 and 514 at 10AM and launching after a quick fuel up. Heading north on 514 to 520, then down and up a few times to "remember the turns" and have a few good shots at them. It might be fun to have a few bikes show up. PhilS

See Rides and Events - posted in wrong area.

I'd say, weather permitting, next Saturday the 22nd we meet up at the Danville BP at 10AM, then ride the 10 fun miles on 514 up to 520 and hit it 4 times back and forth. Then it's back to the BP for gas up and a break. 520 is only 13 miles long but a ton of fun. If nothing else, it's something to do on two wheels. I shall be watching the weather..........
