At least it wasn't his teammate this time...

Me and a friend from work checked 10/22 out on Sunday & got soaked near the end, but the roads were a blast! We pulled over for like 20 min in an old barn and waited for the rain to die down, fortunately no old farmer chased us off with his shotgun. Lots of other riders down there & did see one wrecked bike on 22, so go easy if you are slow like me. Look forward to going down at least once more before the season is over.

>>So what route or road do you plan on hitting up? It was so nice today I took a half day of vacation and went on a 200+ mile ride, here is a partial map: Map Got to go across 350 and up and down 247, great ride! Decided to cut thru Shawnee forest while I was that far east. SV ran like a top, not too hot out and not much traffic, only thing is now I need a soft pillow for my sore butt. I plan to post reviews of the roads and add some more to the site.

Thanks for posting this! I checked out http://www.motorcycleroads.us & may try one of these out this weekend.

madcat6183: Thanks for the offer & very generous of you, but I wouldn't feel comfortable borrowing one. I would beat myself up if something happened to it... marcredd: There is a Tractor Supply on rt4 south of Middletown, I pass it on my commute every day. Not sure offhand where others are. The one I had picked out is rated for 45mph max so that won't cut it, looks like I am going with the Tractor Supply model. Thanks for all the responses!

I did 3 hours each way to Mid Ohio and I was a zombie afterward... Thanks for the replies and especially the harbor freight recommendation' date=' looks like this might do the trick: [url']http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=92174

Any suggestions? Lowes has a few that look like they might work but not sure about how they would do long expressway trips: http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=100369-15476-5X8G&lpage=none I plan on using it for Deals Gap trips etc. I checked Craigslist but not much in Cinc/Dayton area... Thanks in advance

Our British friends have a solution to knife crime: the Anti-Stab knife! Thank goodness the average brit does not know about slashing...

Helmet is a must imo but I ride w/o the jacket and gloves from time to time. It's just a risk you assume just like the risk of riding.

Oh noes! so sorry

Hey Nick put me on the tentative list sounds like fun!

Yep I drive by it every day on my long commute. I wish they would hire me as a taste tester I could just stumble home or to the bar down the street after work.

Aah, I see how that works now duh Been sick with bronchitis/fever all weekend & missed work today, so that can be my lame excuse for my interwebs incompetence. I need to ride on these roads in Germantown, been thru the town a few times but sounds like I missed something...

Hey e-flores, Actually in Trenton, listed Middletown since everyone scratches their head when I say Trenton

Hi Jagr, Its red, got it on my av now. Just installed a new pipe and got a some parts on the way so looks a little different from the pic

Hi all, I live near Middletown and ride a SV650s. I been on most of the local roads too many times and need to find some new twisties, looking to meet up for some group rides either in Dayton or northern Cinci. I am pretty conservative/safe (slow) & don't like to ride too aggressive; prob be bringing up the rear but still love to find new places to ride. Also there are some great roads down this way if you need a guide or a map let me know i can google the roads up or be your guide on a weekend. Anyhow glad I found this board and look forward to riding with some of you in the future. :cheers
