Yes that is a truly epic section there.  I am surprised if you have never been on that section before!  Be sure to stop at the old barn just west of 555 on the north side of the road by the abandoned looking white aluminum siding 1 story house. That view is comparable to many places on the Blue Ridge Parkway honestly (not as much the areas around Asheville NC however, but BREATHTAKING and unbelievable that the view in front of you is in Ohio).  Most of 78 is obscured by trees but the further east you get on that section, the more quick little peeps you can get through the trees until you have a couple of very great scenic panorama views nearing 555.

We love to take 377 south of there to 555 and 676 and that great little stretch of 550.  or 78 to the river and north to 669 west. Great stretch on 669. 555 north of 78 is good for 555, and takes you directly to the best stretch of 669 east to the river, but 669 is pretty decent for a little ways west of 555 as well.

Good to hear from you Chuck.You ever hit Tatmans Rd off of 669 near Crooksville.It runs south to 37,jogs a little with 37 and then runs south to 13.If you take a hard uphill right onto 13 ,which was paved last year,you can hit the only good part of 13 as it takes you over  to Moxahala and Congo Rd.Congo isn't real tight,but it is a fun sweeper road and it was paved last year.Congo T's into 155 and if you take a left it will take over to 13 at Corning a little north of 78 at Glouster.

That's some good stuff if you're in the area and another fun way to get to the best part of 78.

Isn't the idea of Pokemon Go that people are looking for monsters?

Well,it looks like somebody found one.

From a quick Google search...http://www.bikebandit.com/blog/post/how-dead-red-laws-let-motorcycles-run-red-lights-legally

It doesn't look like it's legal in Ohio.

Sorry,not even Zombie deer... it's a sub frame loading issue.

With a little questioning she did say it will work on Pokemon Go players and texters since they are just sub genres of Zombies anyway.

I like it much more with the 09 headlight.  I do wonder if the front bodywork of the FZ10 deflects air up or around the rider or if it's just a big plastic bug catcher.

I checked with Yamaha out in Cypress....it's a Zombie removal device,very loosely based on the old cattle catchers on trains.Sadly it's not approved for deer.

Did you notice the police version of the FJR on the top rack in the back of the semi trailer?See if they'll pull that down and let you ride it.

About one week of driving/riding in LA traffic or Bay Area traffic you'll understand why they have legal lane splitting.

What I would give to just roll out of my driveway onto a good road.....or hell, even be 30 min from them.

 

Edit: I'd give: 

Brian's first borns.

One of Paul's ducatis.

My left nut. (You only need one right?)

Be careful what you wish for.I live a mile from 555,6 miles from 669,15 miles from 78.

But the downside....I live in Zanesville.

RIP, we have all done illegal things on bikes. Tsk tsk to some of you. If you don't have a bit of hooligan in you: SELL YOUR BIKE---POSER 

I was thinking along those same lines. It's amazing that I made it through my teens and twenties,but I imagine most people that experience life will say the same thing.Some folks don't make it...there but by the grace of God go I.

RIP

Bike is in shop for 40,000 mile service and new tires and brakes

That explains it.Hang in there,she'll be back soon.

Having a bad day HeavyDuty?

Might be a good day to take a nice long ride.

Are you going to reserve me a time for the XSR900 and FJ09?

It looks like they are going to have the XSR900 there.I might go over and try to ride that and the FJ09.Probably Friday morning.

I'd really doubt it, seems like the velodrome is too far away

The Velodrome wasn't far enough away in 1942 when another guy was going to make his country great again.

I just read in Sundays Dispatch about a woman that died in a similar accident in the Columbus area.Columbus area drivers suck!

Protesting?

Lol,I got a good laugh from that.

Too bad we're not as smart as dogs,color doesn't seem to matter much to them.

I really don't have any individual in mind.Like I said in my previous post it's more of a hope in a movement,not an individual.And it is just a hope.But I do think these protest groups like BLM and Occupy are at least trying to get something done on important matters.It might not work,but at least it's an effort.Issues have gotten a larger audiance because of these groups.Maybe something good will come from it.If we don't address the issues that these people are protesting     good luck solving the problems the media is reporting.

With that said,we probably have too many core problems to overcome.We're doomed!Have a nice day.

Sanders is a joke based on recent events and to me proved his whole gimmick was a sham in my opinion

You're definitely entitled to your opinion.

In my opinion all that "movement" did was pin point the whiny bitches that need to get a real job and work harder.

But that's just me

Time will tell.I think that movement,through Sanders influence,might bring some change in the democratic party and to the nation through them.

Enjoy your real job.

although I disagree, fair enough.

I suppose just the protests I've seen in my lifetime haven't done jack shit but caused even more issues

 

I think the "occupy" movement has succeded,at least in part,to bring the issue of income disparity to the national political stage.I would say that movement was a big factor in Bernie Sanders campaign run and still might cause some change.It's still early.

Americans are starting to wake up about bicycles. More and more are commuting to work, the store, etc. Once we begin to offer these folks a safe way to commute, even more will jump into the madness. That's a good thing. America is a fat, lazy sort of beast with tons of potential. We really should stop catering to cars so much. We've given up way more real estate than we ever should have. 

Better late than never I guess.I spent two years in Holland back in the early eighties and it was amazing how the Dutchies got around without owning a car.They had a hugh cycling population that was encouraged by having bike lanes along side nearly every road,compartments on buses and trains to store bikes and bicycle parking everywhere.With the interconnected mass transit systems(buses,trains,aircraft all connected through common stations) you could get to anywhere in Europe with your bike.It didn't seem like many people under thirty even bothered to own a car and people of all ages rode bikes on a regular basis.

We are light years behind Europe on puplic transit.It's a shame.

To the convention in Cleveland? Talking heads on Sunday morning said that they expect instigators to show up. My plan is to mingle till I find them. I don't care which side. You may see me on the news, I'll be the one in the middle of the park the cops are kicking the shit out of.

Let's start a riot!

Be sure to wear an Ohio Riders t-shirt.Have fun.
