We'll be driving a 2006 maroon MegaCab Ram with a black 6X10 enclosed trailer.

Is there gonna be a place to park our truck and trailer?

Thats right Inya.... You and me and all the other white guys need to stay tight!

Cool bike... I was on the fence as to get a Super Enduro or an Adventure. I ended up choosing the Adventure cuz it's better for street riding and that was the main purpose of getting a 950 for me. You are gonna LOVE that Vtwin!

Looks like there will be 3 of us heading down from up North. I suppose we will hit the road at 6:00am to get us there about 9:30. Looks like it's gonna be a warm one:eek: 93 degrees! Also appears to be about no chance of rain:D. We'll have me on my 525MXC, CJ my brother on his 450MXC and Unclepunk(Tod) riding my sons 250EXC. We'll be representin' team ORANGE

Udel.... You don't have a scowl on your face like that when you ride do ya?

Everything still a go for Sunday?

I attended a trials school in California a couple years ago.... Mucho-Fun! I hope to add a trials bike to my stable on of these days.

We got in a lil' group ride of our own consisting of a couple KTM Nine-Fiddys and a couple H-D's. Left Grafton at noon and headed South on 301 and made our way down to Loudenville. From there we cut across 39 to Millersburg where we had a decent lunch at a Mexican joint. We then worked our way back North and got home at 4:00. Not quite the addrennelin rush of a UnclePunk ride, But we stayed dry and had a good time.

Is it possible for you to be any cooler that you already be? I think not:p

Yah I know...

And to fuck you up even more..... Remember that the 250 has a Rekluse clutch and the rear brake is where the clutch normally resides. I guess if I was able to master the reverse shift pattern of your 600 you should be able to figure out a left hand rear brake And besides it's not that you DON'T use front brake.... I use mine plenty... Ya just gotta beeeee.... SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH:cool:

Looks like Me & CJ are gonna be riding with Patrick and John.... I think that we are going to just ride a bit more mellow and put together a ride that is a bit shorter. We have a dual sport ride the following weekend and don't want to be gone all day this weekend. We'll be doing this next weekend with UnclePunk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3HKiQ_Npcg And I guess you can see why I said that a bit of gravel on the road didn't bother me last weekend;) Thats me out front on my old 625SXC

Well then ya shoulda' asked me two days ago;) PS... I have a picture of my Mom in the early 70's standing in front of the dealership when she bought a car way back when.

You mentioned in an earlier post that you could email a GPS track? If so please send it to mike_wowk@yahoo.com. Also I saw in your video link you had a few of our helmet cam vids linked.... As it stands now we have a group of 4 riders coming down. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the effort of putting together this ride.

Is there a fee?

Also Tod..... Don't forget that the following weekend Aug 9th:popcorn: This + This + This =

What would be better than a 950 Adventure on Sundays ride?..... How about two 950 Adventures? I think me and my brother are in for this weeks ride.

A 950cc Adventure bike isn't really overcompensating when you're riding with this crew.... A single cylinder bike would have been left way behind yesterday:eek: http://www.ohio-riders.net/showthread.php?t=31509

Oh ya? Tell me more:popcorn:

Actually CJ(my brother) is out at our "secret tire shop" tonight with his Adventure getting a set of road race Pirelli tires... Uh OK same tires as my Aventure, But compared to the knobbies his bike has on it now they are road race tires:D

NEWBIE PERSPECTIVE...... I am a pretty good dirt rider who just started riding street bikes again... I rode way back in the old days when Vmax's first came out(1984-1986), But haven't really been on a streetbike since then till I got KTM 950 Adventure a couple months ago. This was my second "FAST" ride. I feel I am a decent rider who tries to ride at 80% of my skill level and not much more. For my safety I hope that the extra 20% and a bit of luck will keep my bike shiney. I came with Tod(unclepunk) and chose to tail him. I was able to keep in the top 5-ish riders and usually keep them in sight. I know ALL the guys ahead of me could have left me in the dust if they wanted. I as an ADULT chose to stay in my safety zone and when I was pushing as hard as I felt comfy.... If I saw that crazy SOB on the Ducatti on my tail my left hand went out and waved for him to pass. Same was true for the guy on the Aprillia and also the guy on the Honda with the white jacket. I felt very good to tail the Aprillia and Honda guy. I learned alot about choosing lines in turns. When I felt like I was making mistakes I backed down a bit untill I regained my composure. And then on the second loop I started to think about other things(family being gone and on their way home from TN.) and I decieded that I either needed to focus on riding or head home... I headed home. I had a great time and think the Coshocton crew did a great job of staggering guys along the whole crew to tend to the flock.

Yah I did my best Jay Springsteen imitation around that curve:cool: You young guys will have to Google J.S.

I do think that I am real close to the edge of the capabilities(for me anyhow) of my dual sport tires on my bike. I was just out looking them over and I was able to get some wear all the way to the edge of the tread blocks. And they started getting kinda squirmy over there:eek: Go ahead.... Somebody say it..... "Hey DUMBASS.... Those tires(and bike) aren't made for doing this stupid shit":D

It woulda been sweet to have somebody snappin' some shots of us going around some of the curves.
