You might try posting it on www.zrxoa.org but they are a bunch of cheap screws there so be prepared to be "low balled" to death. Your price seems very reasonable to me though.

I'll have to get my Zuma out and race ya, extra points to for putting that historical plate on a freaking scooter. I noticed your place has a county sticker on it, I have 5 or 6 bikes with historical plates and never received a county sticker with any of them. What did it cost to insure that thing? My Zuma cost $9.47 a year to insure through State Farm.

Some of us did that same ride a couple weeks ago, my total mileage was 536 but we had some guys from further up north that were just over 700.

I'd go for the round, black ones.

I like the kind that hold air

I can't even imagine what the Core Ride was like...

CORE ride was great, no cops or drops. 303 total miles for me.

I rode 164 the full distance today with a passenger and the road was in great shape ( no gravel, dead animals and such ) you guys should have a great ride tomorrow.

We have a CORE ride leaving from the DQ in Bolivar this Sat @ 8:30AM, This ride will be around 350 mile round trip from Bolivar I'm guessing. If some of you guys get there early say hi. http://www.coreriders.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2364

If you want a independent oil analysis this is the company I use

http://www.blackstone-labs.com/motorcycle.html

I have all of my motorcycles tested at least once annually. What do I use? Mobil1 15W-50 ( car variety in the 5qt jug from WalMart) and I do have a 1979 Yamaha XS1100 with 217,000 miles currently with zero issues. Golden Spectro would be my 2nd choice and I would not run Amsoil or a Fram oil filter in my lawn mower.

I heard 6 month licence suspension on my drive home from the office today.

I'm riding WV all I can now, when that old fuck RC Byrd finally croaks can you say bye bye funding? The roads will probably turn to dirt again

I'll agree that if you want to ride the gap go down during the week (mon-wed would be best) and get up early. I quit riding the weekends down there 7 years ago. We got plenty of decent roads here in Ohio and WV as well so I don't see the need to go to the gap any longer now.

Whenever people from out of the state ( I belong to 7 motorcycle forums) ask me about Ohio roads I tell them "Stay home, Ohio roads suck" ) I come across to many parades ( HD riders going 25mph) around here now and don't want to add to it.

I really like riding in WV and I think there helmet law keeps many of the douche bags off the roads. We all know Harley riders hate helmet laws and don't like riding further than 4 miles before arriving to the next bar.

Sorry I could not make it today. 255 was just repaved this spring and is in much better condition than 536 now, 536 seems to have quite a few speed bumps mid corner now.

Crooked River Cycles in Akron rebuilds Ohlins shocks, maybe they could rebuild yours and save you some $ http://www.crookedrivermc.com/

I might make the trip with you, I got some work to do at home in the morning but if I finish by 9AM I'll ride on down to meet you, Are you riding the Honda or Yamaha?

Put a sign in your yard. "Free fire wood, you cut"

Thats exactly how they filmed Tom Cruise riding the old Ninja in Top Gun.

We had a great ride down to WV and back and hopefully I can get a few more to come along on the next 1. I even passed a WV state police ( at around 90MPH) SUV hauling a trailer full of weed without a ticket.

Crossing into WV by ferry. The guy on RC was not with us but we ran into him a few times through out the day. He wasn't so lucky with the WV state police.

Someone moved there house across the street while we ate lunch in Clay.

The bridge

Total mileage was 536 for me, there is another guy that had to be around 700 for the day.

Mark, a bloke on RideOhio.org mentioned meeting us at the ferry, any idea what time we'll be there? I was thinking it's about 2 hours from New Philly... but I know you do that stretch quite regularly - what's your estimate?

If you have a Harbor Freight store close by check them out.

OK if we get a few other great, if not thats cool to. I should add its Exit 81 off I77 for the Sheetz gas station meeting point. There are 2 exits for State RT39 and if folks would happen to get off the highway in Dover you won't find a Sheetz there.

A few photo's from past trips to the area.

The mileage scaring you guys away or what? you can always turn around mid-way if you don't think you can hang the entire trip.

This wont be a ride for folks that can't do 500 miles in a day, you could stay overnight down there if you wish but I will be returning home. The plan will be to leave New Philadelphia from the Sheetz Gas Station at the 77/39 East Exit at around 8am. The travel route will be 800 down to the river and at this point you can spend $3 and ride the Ferry across or for the really thrifty you can do down 7 to the bridge and cross into St mary's. From there it will WV RT16 all the way down to Gauly Bridge to pick up US 60 East. From 60 it's off to US19 to gander at the New River Gorge bridge and I like to take old US 19 all the way down to the little bridge.

The return trip can varry and there are many routes and if your really wore out you can slap it all the way home if you wish from Charleston WV Via I77. I'm open to any one else's idea for routes ( but not final destination) and start times if it fits your schedule any better. I like to do these long rides on Sat in case there are any problems it gives everyone a extra day to return to the real world of work and deadlines. I didn't map it because I don't need one personally but I do have extra AAA WV maps for anyone that might think they need one.

My normal pace is between 80 & 90 indicated ( 72-83 actual) but there will be moments of wicking it up, passing on the double yellow, and general hooliganism. Just trying to be upfront as possible and if you don't think you can handle the mileage you could always turn around at any point and back track your way home.

If you guys want to ride to Tuscarawas Co tomorrow I'll be doing chain & sprockets on a friends bike ( I have the RK chain tool) and a fork seal in 1 of my own bikes. It's a long ride from Cincy but you can decide.

Just reading this makes me want u to have pulled the gas pump out of your bike and spray her in the face with the gas then light! Glad u are ok man!!! Gas+old crazy driver+Hot bike+rider=bad ever time!
