If you are going to be down this way and heading toward gallipolis I'd check out 233 and 554, 775, 790, and 218. Havn't made it to some of them on the south end of them, but north side of most of them wasn't bad about a month ago.
Found an 02 Vfr800 with a set of givi bags, trying to decide if I wanna trade in my FZ6 or not. Whats everyones opinion on the VFR, I do a fair amount of 2-up riding also.
Glad you enjoyed your trip. If I had realized you was doing and overnight, there are some great roads farther south through Meigs, Galia, and southern Jackson county you may try to consider next time around.
What is there close to mid-ohio to stay? I'm going this year since it falls on the same weekend as my birthday, buy I'll be caging it with the wife and little one.
664 right by oldmans cave has 2 sections of one lane controled by traffic signals (as of yesterday). 691 from Nelsonville to 56 has been repaved, and they put that gravel on the sides of the road and was covering the road in a few places (as of 2 weeks ago)
