  1. Good luck with the search!
  2. My speedo ends at 80mph. So anything past that is just a guess. Come to think of it anything below that is a guess as well. It isn't reading correctly, I'm thinking the speedo cable didn't seat properly after changing the front tire. The smoke is a getaway device that was installed by the previous owner. Some guy with a cape and a car with real weird tail fins, had this thing about bats.
  3. Weather looks real good so far! :banana::banana:
  4. Way to many to mention then all. Remember their roads are narrower by 4 feet and they have real hills. So if it's a goat path on the side of a mountain you want, that would be the place.
  5. Hmm... Sounds kinda like the people who hate GW Bush. Nothing he could ever do was good enough. He could have hung himself and they would complain that he didn't use a new rope. The one that gets me is the story that he was plain stupid. He graduated as opposed to Gore who flunked out of 4 schools. So who was the dummy? Remember that facts do not get in the way of politics. I'll just watch as this thread devolves into a name calling bitch slap session. :lol::lol:
  6. Cadiz is ~ 20 miles from Steubenville which is 7 miles from PA. I hadn't thought we were so close until I started seeing signs for Steubenville.
  7. Sunday 08/23/2009 Swing'r, Cmoosego and I went for a wee ride in the country. We started at the pony and went almost to Pennsylvania before we started back. The weather was in our favor, slightly overcast with spots of sunshine. At the Pony I bought a throttle rocker, the velcro kind. Everybody said it was a crap design. Moose reached into his magic saddle bag and pulled out a clip on style. Is there anything not in those magic saddle bags? He prolly even has a kitchen sink in there! After a little fooling around with it a bit I got it mounted and kinda adjusted and off we went! Our planned route courtesy of Swing'r: - Iron Pony – East 161 to 37/16 Newark - 16 East to 79 North to 541 - 541 East to Coshocton – McDonalds - 16 North to 36 East - 36 East to 250 East in Dennison - 250 East to 22 in Cadiz - 22 West to Cambridge - 22 West to 83 South in New Concord - 83 South to 78 West in Bristol - 78 West to McConnellsville - 78 West to 37 West to New Lexington - 13 North to 40 - 40 West back to Columbus First stop, lunch in Coshocton. Then off to the wide open spaces! I have to say by this point I'm thinking the throttle rocker may possibly be a substitute for sex. It felt sooo good to ride without getting cramps in my throttle hand. The miles just slipped by under the front tire. Time seemed to stop as we effortlessly glided through the turns, up hill, down hill and round the bend. Soon it was time to stop again. We stopped at Tappan Lake, which is just freaking huge! It's a very big blue blob on the map that Swing'r pulled out to check our route. It was at this point we realized in just a few more minutes we could be in Pennsylvania. Swing'r had a little trouble with his kickstand sinking into the ground. But he caught it before it went over. So all was well once again. I for one was shocked that the little KZ had come this far without a whimper and was just raring to go for more. Just love that throttle rocker! We noticed a rest area just up the shoreline a bit. Nice picnic area but more importantly, a bathroom! Then off to our next photo stop, Salt Fork State Park! On the road again! After missing a sign on the road somewhere in Zanesville we found ourselves in a small park next to the river. Time to re-group and think over our next leg of the journey. We realize that it was getting a bit late in the day. Even though we hated to admit it, there were things at home that needed done. We had been out all day riding around like grinning fools and loving every minute of it! So we decided in the interests of time we would just jump onto 70w and scoot for home. So we did. And so ended one GREAT ride! Approx~ 290 miles and 3 tanks of gas for the KZ Breakdowns = 0 Crashes = 0 Fun = UNLIMITED!!!! :banana::banana:
