:eek:busted!

Ah hell! He seemed like a pretty cool guy, get him to join up rollnhot!

Even though I'm "factory insulated", I hate the cold even when bundled up. I'm cold-blooded and prefer warmer temps for sure. Although I applaud your faith in me, I'm just not a fan of winter weather, especially on 2 wheels with snow or salt on the roads.

May be a good idea to carry a fresh battery and some tools with you to check the start circuit and ensure the engine will at least roll over. Would suck to get it home and find it seized or worse. Hope its in order and an easy fix for you.

Wow, you went balls deep on your first bike! I started on a little cruiser less than half that size

Like a bear on a jackrabbit!

I'm the big bald bastard in black standing towards the right, behind the only female rider there that day, who is my little wife ( Snot )

Its definitely not Walmart pricing, but makes some difference. You sound like you have it under control with cheaper mods. Good luck on splitting hairs to the 8's! Hope we rent Norwalk next season so I can get a whoopin from your Busa

Definitely dont claim to have a penis whip either, or its next!

Yeah, IP's sarcasm has no bounds.....dont take him seriously

Uh, those motorcycles dont go anywhere and they're ultra high maintenance cool photog idea though

Jack, I thought you told him to take 93 once we lost track of the group ahead and the route itself? I know when we stopped on the roadside the last time before Zanesville, someone mentioned 93 north. It was all good, Gunner knew the area so he got us right to the pipeline to head west towards home.

Sounds like a blast, but I've got an important wedding to attend this weekend. Ride safe and get lots of pics/vid!

Thats what I like about it too. Never been to the Gap ( yet ) but some of what we rode in SEO HAS to compare, its damn good riding even if the Gap blows it away. Not everyone can get to TN for that, so this is ( like 20thGix put it ) a "budget Gap trip" making it possible for more of us to get together for a great ride and to meet who's who around here

We could do late May for weather's sake, and plan rides for both days so anyone that can only manage 1 day would be able to meet up with the group thats staying/riding both. Still just in the idea phase here, but seems like it would work well in that it offers larger possibilities for more to attend. 2 big rides on the same weekend would have awesome results and surely be an epic event for all of OR

Dude, the Midget on stilts would be hilarious for sure! Jolly Green Giant would be good too, but folks might think the Hulk and PeterPan were your folks

Midget on stilts - Thats it! Would be hilarious to see, so be sure to get pics!

Cool, 2013 DoubleDreamRide idea established.....we'll plan something up for April/May ( pending track rider schedules and holidays ) and post it up sometime after Christmas or NewYears for plenty of notice to all. Be nice to get Ben & Carrie in on this one too. There's a few places in Hocking Hills with several cabins grouped together, may be able to get a group rate for multiple units? I'll start on the homework. Hopefully it will be an epic one to send you off with Doc!

Me neither I think Hutch and I look more alike than he and the rider in black......of course, I'm the porkier and older twin bro Hutch is built like a freaking Steak Tank! And my friends think I'M a big guy - DAMN! Was good to meet ya Hutch, would've liked to chat but we had a schedule to keep with photoshoots and routes to ride.....ahh, so goes the lives of rockstars

One of those riders should have stuck out a foot to push the guy on the bicycle and give his legs a break. THAT would have been more dignified j/k, nice vid

So this ended up being a Zombie Dream Ride since it died and came right back to life?! Awesome either way, been talking to folks about it ever since we got back. Stellar experience no matter how different it turned out from the initial idea. Gonna have to do this again in the late spring/early summer. I say we plan a 2 day event based out of some Hocking cabins so there's a close locale for us all to hit the hot tubs to reflect, recuperate, rinse, and repeat. 2 full days of riding down there would surely be twice the fun right?
