  6. Ohio Riders Invades Deals Gap 2018

    The roads down to DG are a lot more fun than the roads on the way to upstate NY. Once you hit SEO, it's non-stop twisties. Riding 16 through WV is well worth it, not to mention the other great roads down that way.

    My trip to NY was in the Catskills which reminded me of SEO, but yes, getting there was pretty uneventful until we headed south out of Buffalo.

    I'm not exactly sure what route I'm taking down for this trip.  I have family in Louisville so there's a chance I might stop overnight there on my way down, or the way back.

    @flashesbuck come on down not all of us are stoners that think you are not a good rider :lol: ;):p:wtf::banana::beathorse: (is that enough smileys to know I'm half kidding around?)

     

    Here is the story, first and foremost make sure your equipment is in tip top order especially tires and brakes and ppe but really all your ducks need to be in row. Second and equally important "ALWAYS, RIDE YOUR RIDE". That includes all miles for this trip including the ones getting there. Plan your trip with what ever you want to do ..BUT.  Always have a way to opt out or and alt. plan. If your tired, STOP. If your over your head on a technical road, slow down. Shit happens and time tables get fucked and the last thing you need is to feel your on a set deadline to get some where. Same goes for the roads down around the gap they are a different beast than stuff up here but ANYONE can ride them just not at the paces some of us do. If you have to do half the speed limit to be safe, do it. Just keep they guy that just rode up behind you in mind at the next turn out or strait. If you give yourself plenty of time and don't have the mind set that you are going to "slay the dragon" you will be fine. And if someone invites you along on their journey, rules need to be laid out and they should be informed of what you are comfortable with. 

    My wife may be taking her bike and she has ridden less than 800 miles in the last 2 years and 600 of that was one trip. I have no fears of her going down there and getting in over her head because I know she's a smart rider that could care less what pace she's riding at or what time the clock says. 

    I'll take a smart rider over experience any day. Obviously a smart experienced rider is the perfect scenario. but even a stupid experienced rider is dangerous. 

    Thanks for this reply...  I’m planning my first trip there.  I may have a friend going w me but that’s all up in the air.  After taking a trip thru Canada to NY last year gives me the confidence to do this solo if that’s how it shakes out.  

    Tell your wife to take her bike, I’ll ride with her.

    The real question is why would he have those things in the first place, and where does he keep them? A jar? The freezer? Under his pillow? 

    Next to the calculus book??  :dunno:

    I guess I personally still don't get the point of slabbing down on the bike. I preferred the comforts of my truck and trailer and got there quicker since I really only needed to stop once.

    Well shit, what was I thinking, lemme go buy a truck and a trailer....  :lol:

    Umm, yup.  Could I come if I tucked it back, maybe with some tape or something :dunno:

    Uh, that probably wouldn't work, they'd spot you when you checked in; but you could for sure go to the Catskills and hang out in the area for the weekend...   lol

    2017 was good --- took a moto-camping trip that was pretty epic; did a track day; met some new OR faces and made new moto friends.  I learned how to clean a carburetor and make dirt bike plastics look like new.  I unintentionally had 5 vacation days that I didn't use that I'm lucky enough to roll over to the first quarter of the new year - I don't think that's ever happened to me before.  

    For 2018 - I plan on doing the same moto-camping trip (Babes Ride Out is amazing and I know those of you with penises are super jelly).  I hope to do another track day or two hopefully.  Going on the Gap trip in June.  And making sure to take all 3 weeks of my vacation before next winter sets in.  lol

    Is it spring yet????

    Why do extroverts not have the ability to detect the, I don't want to entertain you, face?

    "You! What did do you do over the long break?"

    The whole point of being single is not having to tell someone where you were, what you did, who you were with.

    You could have RBF which is kind of like people repellent... ask my how I know...  lol

    Ugh.  My ex wife tries to get a hold of me every time whatever loser she's been dating dumps her.  No thanks.  They are exes for a reason.

    Exactly - things didn't end so well between us and he's been contacting me since July when he happened to run into me while I was on my motorcycle.  I haven't seen him in probably 13 years and am fine with that - I'm not sure why he won't just go away, luckily he doesn't have my phone number or know where I live.
