Were you planning on taking the highway to QSL? If not, count me in.... just have to leave QSL before it gets dark or I turn into a pumpkin Edit: Just for clarification, please don't change any plans for me, if you planned on taking the highway than I can meet you at QSL to say Hey

Krzwht and I are meeting at QS&L at 2

it's all good. MSF for me is next week... you could try walk-in for the one i'm in... Hudson High 6/9 at 6 pm. It'll be fun!

count me in, just let me know way ahead of time since I have to get to you via non-highway route. pming you my cell #

hopefully it's somewhere I can get to

I dislike people that don't wave.... just saying.... went for my first long ride and passed 2 or 3 people that were too good to acknowledge anyone else. It's just kind of obnoxious.

couldn't be worse than rt 8 could it?

Cuyahoga Falls water fall area isn't bad, but can be too crowded. Blossom music parking lot has some places with nice wooded backdrops. Down in Fairlawn you could go to the metroparks, some really nice spots there too. Good luck!

I'll drink to that! I don't drink and drive, mostly out of paranoia of getting pulled over, and not wanting to die.... so if I'm not going to do it in a cage, I'm certainly not going to do it on 2 wheels Sounds like I should have bought a Harley so I could be too good for everyone?

Actually, I believe Ohio age of consent is 16 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_North_America#Ohio Edit: Nm, saw what you were talking about..... anyway.... nothing illegal about motorboating!

If only you had packed some manpons

Good thing you're ok, State Rd sucks, especially near 18, too congested

Good luck with the test!

I'll be sure to rev my engine nonstop with no helmet, jacket or gloves Sorry I can't make it down to CBus Sara

Damn Sara, I didn't realize this was near Cbus.... I was in Pittsburgh this week for a market research study.... I don't think I can take anymore time in a car!!

Glad to read all the replies, and see I'm not too far off base. Yah, I haven't put saddle bags and a trailer hitch on yet, gotta get a big ol'e touring ride behind so I can carry the luggage jk of course Definitely don't think I'm ready to ride in a group, going slow and making sure I am looking around is my first priority right now.... I'm going to head up to Bike Night next week at QSAL in ValleyView next week.... taking all back roads and such.... I would love to meet some of you folks in person!!

So, I have a cruiser, but I'm not sure the on rides and meet ups. Keep in mind I'm very new to riding so don't smack me yet. Is there any protocol for riding with people? Do cruisers and sport bikes not go out together? Does everyone park separately? I'm not against anyone... I'm fine with all riders (maybe scooters piss me off a bit) but if it's going to piss off other people I don't want to do it.... maybe just being a newb and riding a red bike pisses people off.... but I can't fix that

Oh very cool! Riding to Y-Town is definitely off my list right now... gotta get the basics before I try riding that distance! Although Quaker Steak in Valley View is only 8 miles away so that may be next!

It's looking great! Good work!

what a beauty

at least he tied it up.... but yah, insane pressure

I'm up around Macedonia/Twinsburg/Hudson/Northfield Center.... I live right at the intersection of all 4 essentially. Thanks for the warm welcomes! My neighbor and his wife have 2 sport bikes, a JXR and something else (sorry, more into cruisers but still a newb). I'm still getting the hang for the basics, couldn't resist the urge to take her out before the class (who could resist that), was a really short trip to the Target in Macedonia but on the way back I laid it down trying to make a left turn.... let myself get rushed and reacted poorly. I've always learned well from my mistakes but I need to slow my mind down and just relax. Anyway, long reply, but looking forward to getting comfortable, I hope some of you sport bike guys won't mind riding with a newb on a cruiser!

Hey all, Brand new rider here, just got an '04 Vulcan... first bike, first time riding. I've taken a few rides but nothing serious until after the Ohio rides class in 2 weeks. If you have any tips, tricks, or things to know of please let me know! Look forward to seeing you out on the road Likwid
