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.

Friday report, First thing is there was a Hell of alot more people at Mid-Ohio today on a Friday than there was last weekend Sat & Sun for superbike. Turbo CBX anyone? Another CBX and my very first streetbike next to it, Kawasaki H2 750 These all looked pretty good from this distance,, upclose not so hot. The new BMW Superbike, they say it will be available this Dec. A true "Baller" bike here. Here's another organization I belong to ( Ohio Valley BSA owners association) They were advertising these as the "future of motorcycle racing" ( electric motorcycles )God I hope not, they were slow as Hell and a 883 sportster would leave them for dead. I still had a fun day and I did grab myself 1 of those nice tee's pictured above for $23 and I was kinda surprised that the cost of admission today was $25 as well.

This is coming real soon, next race I believe.

From the 2009 AMA Pro Road Racing Rulebook: "Section 7: Race Rules And Procedures 7.14 Flags / Lights vii. Blue Flag: Indicates to a rider that they are about to be overtaken. Riders are advised to keep their line and allow the faster rider to pass. Riders disregarding this flag may be blackflagged at the discretion of AMA Pro Racing." So who interprets this as move out of the way?? Not me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_C42W0dyBC8 I'm certainty no fan of JRP but I think he did exactly what he was suppose to according to the rule book. Discuss

Any local MX place should have them, all MX bikes used FCR's up untill last year when F.I. started to make a run.

If vintage days @ Mid-Ohio blows I might make this trip.

Now these are freaking fantastic photo's, where are you renting that first rate glass? I'm about to pull the trigger on a Zeiss zoom for my Sony but I sure would like to try before I buy.

I took about 1,700 total pictures and it will take me a while to go through all of them. I skipped out on making the ride over today and went to ride with the CORE folks instead, I only rode with them for about a hour than had to break off to come home and work around the house Attendance seemed to be way down from years past in my eye's, don't know if thats because of DMG or just the economy in general now.

I don't know if they did any more riding after I split @ 1:30 or not, it was raining pretty hard and I rode in the rain myself for about 22 miles (going East) before I was back in the sunshine.

I was at the track today and grabbed a few shots, it started raining pretty hard around 1:30 so I hit the road then. Surprisingly none of the Buells blew up while I was watching. But the Hooters Suzuki did.. This got must have thought the Zuk was dropping oil but nobody went down and they never through a yellow in the corner (T1) I think everyone knows who this is BB here, 1 of my favorite riders. Some fat dude chasing his "also ran" friend. Hanging off. Lets toss in a Honda for good measure Local boy Pegram here. Yates. Entering the track Thats it for today but I'll be going back the next 2 days as well.

Go to the autoparts store and look in the "Help" section for carb return springs, I think I got a pack of like 8 or 10 springs for $3 and used 2 of them (1 run inside the other) for this very purpose on my KTM Duke.

What are Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, Michael Jackson and Billy Mays expecting for Christmas this year???? Patrick Swayzee.

didn't see 26 or 800 mentioned, 800 is a little choppy towards the river but if you got your suspension dialed it's not to bad.

It could be a few different things, cupped front tire, sticking caliper, tire out of balance, wheel bearing, tire inflation,steering head bearings, ext..

I would say $1,000 TOPS! I have a 1979 XS 1100 myself and the gauges are round and not square. He is correct about them being reliable, mine currently has 217,000 ( yes that is the correct # 217,000) and it still runs great without the motor or trans ever having a problem. The stock petcocks (there are 2) hose routing is a nightmare sometimes and they get pretty shitty gas mileage at around 30MPG.

Uncle Punk, Did you run 536 south around 2 PM? I was going North and passed 2 guys together ( the guy in the 2nd position was on a RC51) and there was 3rd rider about 1/4 mile behind the front 2.

Take your bike and a few straps, I've done it with tires even.

Competition Accessories, they are close enough you can ride down to get your stuff if you need it fast. http://www.compacc.com/c/Sport_Sport_Tour_Chains_Sprockets.cfm I have a RK chain tool, impact gun, and big ass compressor if you need some one to do it for you. I only charge a 6 pack of Labatt Blue
