july 12,  rt.56 closed between ash cave & s.bloomingville and again west of laurelville.  probably due to flooding.

i been using sta-bil marine formula ethanol treatment in my bike since nov.2011.  works ok for me.  gained 1.5 mpg.

try using a higher octane fuel.  

555 closed between 669 & 37.

I'm in need of some recreational riding, I'm not sure I'm ready for the 555 on my new bike so was curious if you guys has some suggestions for roads to work my way up on. 

555 ...  ...

by the time you figure in gas stops, lunch, and b.s. stops, you'll be lucky to avg. 45 mph.  so, 450mi. would be more like 10hrs..  dont forget to take a good rain suit and flat tire repair kit.  g-luck and ride safe.

from hocking hills i take 93 south to oak hill.  then turn, make way over to 775.   775 south to huntington.

My Vstrom is one of the few bikes that I've had that I really like the factory seat on.........Seats are very subjective, what's good for one, is bad for another. Like ergo's, windshields, etc.http://www.motorbikesaddles.com/

other than regular maintenance and replacement of normal wear items such as spark plugs, tires, brake pads, chain & sprockets, battery, the bike runs perfect and has never let me down.. at 100k miles I'm knocking out a yearly average of 46 mpg. and the inside of the air box is clean & dry. in addition, I'm still running original stock bearings, suspension, brake rotors, fuel pump & filter, clutch & basket, charging system, and a 07 pure stock ECU. i give this bike a grade of A+ .. undoubtedly the best bike ive ever owned. IMHO, i contribute my good luck to,

1. the OverDrive Trannie, for 30% less wear & tear on engine.

2. the use of mc specific motor oil.

3. use of regular automotive grade fuel with the highest AKI rating.

4. street use only. no dirt or trails

Look into the Tuskeegee motel just down the road on 28. It's a great place and inexpensive.

Also riding from cbus u can join if ya like.

BMW F800GS nice $8000 bike. i just cant figure what the extra $4000 is for.

Dude, I speak from experience, Lancaster is much better than Logan whne considering motels....

i'll be riding down from columbus for this event. i wouldnt mind having a riding buddy and or room mate. probably staying in roddinsville or deal's gap motel.

looking above at the links from al.Z.heimer on the michelin website, they are indeed different. soft/medium/soft compound for the rear tire is 10/80/10 for trail and 40/20/40 for regular.

Hmmm...I run that pressure and would never get that mileage. I run less up front' date=' but those tend to last 1.5x more than the rear. Your bike is the 1k, right?[/quote']yeah DL1. 36 frt. - 38 rear for 2 up. i used to run max pressure per tire side wall. but found that i get better tire mileage if i run mc manufacturer recommended pressure.
