heheheh it was just a random name came up from the content of post, last year i always wanted to be part of a big group ride, sort of dream to be in one etc etc. Thought y not just keep it. No big biggie. Other names like epic ride, big group ride etc etc sort of felt like hyping up something which is still up in the air. Anyways, Max do come out, even if the name of ride sucks the aim of it is to meet and ride corrected them both,

Awesome, hopefully weather will be nice and you guys can keep the schedule clear. tim, if nothing works at least drop by and meet others i guess. Exact times we will fix up later as the weather pattern evolves more.

Nice will be first time meeting you magz we can meet up in canfeild and ride down, mikeali and connerot might be there from up north.

awesome, hope to meet you there dan, the more go pros less chance of missing/ messing footage like last year

yea i remember her selling the sv was just hoping she might have some alternate plan for the day. Havent seen you out in years, hopefully u can get out soon. hope to meet you there anden,

ah that gives you the right time to come out fr the meet be part of the group pic/ video etc. If possible bunk class and ride lol i did not say that loud did i aha, finally i will get to see the shiny new toy we can meet in canfeild ( where we split of last year) and ride down to millersburg together. very true, will do that upfront and help minimize confusion. But like i said, if the groups just micro manage, each small group of 7-8 riders max have one lead and sweep and take care of their group only. not to worry about the rest. It worked out last time well, the fast guys waited for us at a gas station in the middle of ride and off they went against to finish it off, while us scenic group took a lunch break and finished a relaxed ride. For some reason it works out well, and i think the reason is we all kinda know each other well thru forum and trust each other in the fact that we aint gonna do squidy stuff and mess it up for the rest. And i am sure each smaller group will evolve based on people who rode together before.

hahahhaha i am gonna invest in another gopro if this works out and mount it up on some fast guys. Plus a DSLR with wide angle lens. for the group picture. 50 yrs from now it will look like this come on out justin, u dont have any miles on you this year if i remember right

sure as the days go by we can try it, i also like that plan. but eventually on that day people just choose and it evolves into as pauly described it

awesome , may be you hellmutt or snot or anyone willing can organize the south west region ride to the meet spot in central,

A ride hoping to bring in as many active OR peeps into action. We share our joy, sorrow, trouble and life on this forum over internet. Why not just come out and share our common passion for one day that is motorcycling. How does it work? The equation is simple, ohio riders from different parts like SW , NEO etc organize group rides and ride out to a common location in central ohio. Here we have a brief meet and greet. Re organize our self and does a short loop together before we split off. Where will it happen.? Asking advice thru pm from some central folks as we speak, most prolly gonna be in Newark area where there is a big gas station and a big empty lot nearby. (eg GetGo and giant eagle lot) The ride route will be a loopof about 100 miles in coschocton area. After this the groups can decide whtr to carry on or split up. The different ride groups from different location will carry on the ride back to their region. Made it more central so folks from SW can also ride up. Last year it was in neo and still few south hard core team showed up. and we ended up riding south itself. so thought why not keep it at central and we all ride down there as part of ride itself. What this is NOT This wont be a cluster crap nor a parade. The groups will be split up according to their riding preference to smaller groups of 5- 7 riders doing the same route, the only place we all be a big group is the meet up and end of ride, Other wise it will be spaced out which is safer and fun. At least once in a life time i think its safe to take the chance and give this a try. Since most folks are the ones we know who believe in ATGATT and safe riding practice i am almost 100% sure this will be un eventful like last year. There wont be any cook out or eating etc. Simple plain hand shakes chit chat, drink some water, munch on a cereal bar and off we go to ride together. Who is this for? Anybody who enjoys a motorcycle and love to meet the rest of the ohio riders. sports bike, sport touring, cruisers every one can come out. I guarantee there will be a group you can ride with comfortable. If group ride is not your thing just ride out to the meet spot and hang out for few before you leave. If you have other obligations on that day, just come out meet and leave before the ride. You wanna put face to the names come on over. Personally being a visitor in this country OR has given me more friends and advices than my real life work. I have met and rode with a majority of active NEO riders, and I would love to meet and ride with all the rest of the folks before i leave next year . I have seen many hobbies and interests in OR and the only common thing we share is riding for sure. So just come out and have a ride thats all. What do we gain? Hard to explain i guess, to each their own. I would like to have the biggest OR group photo in riding gear of course and the best motorcycle video of my life. Last year i missed out recording the ride part because of simple mistake and the only reason i didnt kill myself with regret is because of busy work schedule So folks with go pros cameras, digital cameras, any cameras. come out and make this day memorable and lets share it for the next generation. Who knows how long we will be riding. And make some everlasting friendship, it was last year met with al z heimer whos been a best friend and riding mentor for me ever since. he lived close by and would not have met if not for this meet up thingy. What happened in dream ride 2011? Had a great time for me personally. Even though the weather played spoil sport many riders showed up. Inspite of being up north about 30+ riders came out and the smaller groups evolved by their own choice. the fast guys went ahead with their ride while the intermediate/ slow group enjoyed our own ride with a break in between. Met many a folks and it was a blast. There were no events except for the mirror of bad324. Hoping being more central in location we can have at least 50 riders this time. Like i said was just able to make the intro part of video not ride part http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrczjLOYKdI Big group ride may not be your cup of tea. Believe me not for me too, More than 5-6 is always hard to manage. But for one day just spent some time to meet up and take few pics and then resume the ride in the same pattern of smaller group thats all. I repeat the ride wont be a cluster crap nor parade, whtr its fast/ slow/ new riders/ cruisers/ you will find a group you will like to ride comfortable with. Last year there was no ego war, 80% of the riders opted to ride the slower/ intermediate paced group and had fun. Each group micro manage itself, dont have to wait or look out for other group riders to catch up etc Finally sorry for this huge wall of text, huge thanks to every one that showed up last time on that overcast day to help make it work and making it a memorable day. Praying for the magic to happen again.

:bday_large:

i just shot for a few mins during meet up, then i thought better just ride for once and not think about switching it on/off etc etc which kinda screws up my ride always i am looking forward to ryans video

that song is a beast and suits him well , even its parody is fun for those who missed it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0

nice pics

i was expecting this as your response. wtf, thats it just shut up right there and follow up with the tests/ treatment , You need some tuff words to set things straight before you do whoolies with no gear. steve this is not the end of the world. You really really need to understand that there is an answer for most things. Lets see whats going on. heck it can even be a false positive. I know this is easy to say than do, but keep up a positive outlook, if you still find it difficult get help. Very common for depresson to creep in with medical problems, its just chemical imblance and not who or what you are. Need meds to get it back in order. okay thats it for now.Call me if you have any questions okay.

amazing work

Thx guys, next time we will try to have even better ride. i thought it was you, then was little bit suspicious coz the helmet was hung up instead of on head

Sorry about the whole fiasco, there were good riders in the group who likes to ride pretty hard that's why I thought will make it good for them too. If some one came in for the easy ride and got caught up in the whirlpool and if some thing bad had happened I would never be able to forgive myself . Next time I will describe the ride better in few sentences, like 70 on straight, some time double yellow passing and always trying to hit corners atleast 20 above Any ways everything went well, since we stuck close to neo every one got to break off and ride home pretty okay

Other tool is the rider j/k it's the jealousy talking here Some day I want one of these

Not sure if a repost, but just came across this in youtube. Why i searched for it, because of pauly of course, who challenged saying he will never own any other bike. May be its true http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyZ64Ef-yaY

i wish, but i cant good day dont miss out

heheh granted we were going a bit faster than our usual pace, but when all the big guns came to ride i wanted to make sure every one were having fun thats all. At no point of time i was riding above my limits, i enjoyed the ride thoroughly. I hope you guys were okay with the neo route, not as fun as seo but some of the roads were real good, the thing is i chose roads in good condition. If not i am too paranoid

every one here started out just like that one day, keep riding be safe and dont push too hard. You did fine. Nice meeting and riding with you. Dang jbctown, you are lone rider.

back home safe, 340 ish miles, no accidents. Good day good ride Hope you guys post up if your safely home. And i hope everybody had fun even though it was a pretty big group of 10 to start off with
