I was around Kentucky the same time, wish I had seen this thread we could have at least met for lunch.

Dan, wish I knew you were right there in Dawson. Would have tried to at least stop one night. I was passing through Tok and saw ton of adv riders heading to the rally, they mentioned it's one of the biggest get together in the area and to join it. Unfortunately was running out of time and couldn't make it. Good luck to you and ride safe. I did the dalton to prudhoe and can only imagine how crazy tough the dumpster might be.

Awesome, ty for the video B, that stretch of 537 was crap lol, you must have been laughing your rear off to see us pavement riders always slowing down and going carefully through that little bit dirt and grime lol You ride that strom like a boss. As always excellent ambassador for the Vstrom brand. I wish I still record videos of rides, there were beautiful roads and views. By any chance you have the segment on 800, that segment was the great finale for the ride once we opened up a bit more. 😄

Sorry couldn't update here as the forum was not loading for me. Some kind of error , ty again for coming out in the cold @Gpaw @durk @B-Mac so nice to meet familiar faces again. we got back Saturday night itself. It was a fun day getting to meet yall and riding with you again. Hopefully get to do it again in fall. missed meeting you @Tonikand @Pauly till next time

@Tonik Nooooooo how about meet us in Caldwell around 10:15-10:30? Might be more warm by then?

By the time we hit 536 I was back in my Ohio gear haha but I love that first day back where every hill is a surprise gift . Is it going to be left or right or straight lol and the non stop roller coaster feel and giggles 😄

Nice meeting you again Todd, was comforting to have not angels but god right there with us when we ride these filthy street. Wish you had more life in the tire to finish today's loop. missed you today pauly, what a beautiful day to ride. back at hotel after 300plus miles, covered almost all the good stuff in seo Starting to get used to the bike after all these miles. see you all tomorrow. do you guys want to meet at the sheetz opposite to the marathon. Never knew it was opened. Brand new And much better facilities

Little bit of sleep today, not enough. Beautiful day and roads awaiting. When the weather is great like yesterday and today wv Ohio loop to top spot to enjoy on motorcycle

Noooooo going to miss meeting you @B-Macthank you for the hotel suggestion we staying in the comfort one. Very nice indeed and MC friendly . if possible let's ride on Saturday at least. Pauly wish we could have met up. Glad you had a good run. met with uncle punk and been catching up and time flew. Trying to get some sleep now. Need to sleep at least today lol UP what a beautiful bike. Absolute weapon tomorrow going to be beautiful

We staying at comfort suites in Marietta tonight 😄 @Uncle Punk

Toughest part is getting to sleep ahead of a big ride. Too much excitement

It will be nice to meet you Up, it will be me and another friend. He hasn't rode much in Ohio so just going to show him the good stuff around in seo. Friday will be lighter day. Might do only around 300ish miles. Leave Marietta and end up in Cambridge Ohio. Saturday might be a 600+ miler for us hence shorter loop on Friday.

B man, we haven't booked rooms yet. Most likely start around 9:00 am from Marietta.

Am surprised these guys who got back to riding not interested in riding. Obviously don't want to meet the dork from NC, but at least come and ride. So far seeming to be a gorgeous day that Saturday. @Casper @JustinNck1 @Blitz @DerekClouser these guys got back to riding as far as I remember on top of my head. Not sure about the other OGs are they all on two wheels still?

Weather so far looks great, if everything works out well by Thursday night we will be in Marietta and Friday we will be doing a loop in southern Ohio , if anyone free join us for Friday loop as well.

Sup ohio family, if weather holds well thinking of passing through Ohio on Saturday June 1. Riding up from NC through WV and turning around heading home on Saturday. if any one free please let me know. We can meet new concord Marathon gas station. Where: 706 S Friendship Dr, New Concord, OH 43762 Time: meet 9am ksu 9:30 route: the usual loop down to river, from there NC folks will cross over and head south while you guys head back home. I know not many of the OG still up and about riding but if free at least stop by and say hi if not ride down 👍🏽

@Tonik@Gpaw remember this guy 😄 he sneaked a selfie in lol

@Gpaw @Tonik thank you really for coming out. It was so awesome to meet you guys and the day being picture perfect was icing on the cake. Beautiful roads and fantastic company. Left Raleigh Thursday morning and got back Saturday, 3 days about 1700 miles, if which 1500 is all back roads and all excellent ones. This turned out to be an amazing trip. Relive memories as well as ride almost all of the old favorite roads. We took 20 all the way to 77 in Princeton which was an excellent ride as usual. Good think I avoided 250 or 33 from previous plan. This was hardly any traffic. reached home by 12. Mo checked into a hotel south of charlotte rick, the guy name is Mo, I never met him before and just randomly took a chance on total stranger wanting to ride when I posted in the local group here. It turns out he was an excellent riding partner. Hardcore, came all the way from Florida for This ride and he seems to have enjoyed every minute on these roads. @Gpaw sorry for the nut job ride, I was just too excited and went full bang just to relieve our glorious 164 tour days plus enjoyed the target game. . Even if cuckoo, I think you had a blast, could see the grin inside your helmet all the time 🤣 @Tonik Mo wanted to let you know he was extremely grateful For the company and excellent tow. He has the Goldwing bean sprouting in his mind I think. You guys ever swing by the smokies please let me know, if free for sure will come by meet you there. till next time my friends. Here are the only few pics from today

Wah, that's too early. You might wait longer. Just time for 10:15 or so. Well I guess we too late now.

@Gpaw Sorry for late response team. Is 8:45 meet time okay with all. @B-Mac come come come it's easy peasy for a cuckoo crazy rider like you @Tonik thinking 83-78-260-26-800 all the way to river. Based on time we prolly have to peel off and cross the river and head south at that point of time. today we road the other side 676 555 78 etc then started climbing north to old battlegrounds of 800 646 164 9 etc Then back down to Cambridge now. shoveling away 550-600 miles per day last two days. Tomorrow will be another 600+ day to get back all the way home todays weather and all these roads forgot how good they were. Took them for granted for many years. After the break to come back and do it, it's entirely different experience. Esp 555 avoided longest time thinking it's still broken up pavement but the part up to 78 from 676 was really good and so excellent. yes Pauly you won the bet, I thought you knew. First bike that I kept over a year now and be keeping long time. 13k miles on it already

At Marietta now, roaming seo today

I will have one person with me, he is coming all the way from Florida to join the ride. Never rode with him before, but when I posted up in local riders chat he jumped in.

How about @Howabusa didn't see any post from him in recent times, he always rode. Tony & Brian prolly don't like bigger groups. @marlboro man seems to be enjoying upper north east. Other than that don't see anyone else being active in here and riding anymore 😞

Looks like beautiful weather and you be committed there fully with no chance of escape back to ohio 😞

Shucks next time, if you coming to Nc also let me know I might be able to join a day with you guys. I am guessing 2talltim fam might be going with you guys ? You guys always did cruise in the past iirc.
