Woot I'm still IN*. Dates getting closer! I will be doing a Trackday @ Gingerman 8/19 this Friday. Hopefully I dont total my bike. Its the only one I got! Will be doing another Trackday @ Grattan 9/26 Monday with Ducati Detroit Demo rides! Monster 821, Monster 1200R, Panigale 959, Panigale 1299S. So hopefully I'll see some of you there @ Gingerman or Grattan?

They would be cruising along, then SLOW way down, forcing me to slow down. Then as I'm like "WTF?" They would pop em' up. Then speed up to catch the rest of the group in front, but then would JAM on the breaks and take a 35mph Corner @ like 30 mph . . . meanwhile I'm maintaining a constant 60-70mph speed, get ready for the corner with a few times I either had to slam on the brakes b4 the apex, or trailbrake very late just to avoid them. You get the picture? It was breaking up the rhythm/pace for the rest of the group and creating varies Risk factors! After like the 3rd time, I just backed waaaaay off and let them have their fun and basically became the 2nd "Lead" Rider while Snot was about 4-5 bikes behind me! Just not cool. Ya dig?

IF I go, I will be looking to get something to eat b4 the long trip home! I'll be down to join ya guys!

Oh one thing I wanna add . . . PLEASE NO WHEELIES!!! Keep that to a ZERO!!! (if your reading this) You 2 guys in May, kept doing it and it was annoying, putting other riders in danger (if you wipe you wanna get RAN over?), creating separation between the group, etc. Just dont do it during these big Group rides. Do that shit when your riding by YOURSELF!

Very possible IN/MAYBE* Medium Group. with a maybe bump to Medium-Fast! Most likely will be riding solo (not 2up). I will ride sweeper if needed, just give the route on paper so I can TAPE it to my gas tank! If I attend, I would be very interested in obtaining/buying 2-3 "Ohio Riders" stickers and T-shirt!

They got good food for a small joint? Aye this pic reminds me of the "Stockbridge Dinner" out near me in the WSL roads of Michigan! I would've been the 5th wheel. Maybe next month or sept!

well I have a possible 2 IN's from Michigan that I know of. I passed the info along, so no idea of they are really gonna show up @ your met spot 830am Saturday! Guy on a (Nelson)BMW S1000RR and guy on a brand new (Eric)Yammi R1. Both are experienced riders and should have NP keeping up with you. I know Nelson (track rider) will without a doubt! Have a fun and safe ride guys! I wish I was able to attend, nopefully I can make it down for a weekend in August or Sept b4 winter gets here!!!

Yea hopefully, if all works out. When I'm healed to ride AND I can clear time off work. I plan on doing some Trackday weekends! @ Grattan 8/06 + 8/07 (sat+sun) @ Gingermann 8/20 + 8/21 (sat+sun)

UPDATE!!! OUT* This week I've had Minor surgery on my right arm, so wont be Riding for a bit!

Hmmm I wonder if that Iron Horse dealership would let me use a Rear spool stand so I can quickly lube up my chain! (chain will need to be lubed after the miles I will put on it getting to met spot. Then again after the 350mile route, before heading home!)

Hey Niv, you used to live around here. You KNOW its rather boring (except Gingerman or Grattan) in terms of "Twisties". Anyone would be doing the same thing as me . . . well I guess not cuz I'm spread the word around to my fellow Michigan riders. So far NONE have said they are going to JOIN ME on this trip! My PASSION for Riding will never die, no matter the where,when,how's!

Thanks, much appreciated. If I can make this ride, I will consider it and PM you by July 14th with an Update!

LOL

Maybe, if only I knew you! I have thought about riding down Friday, grab a hotel near the met spot so im Fresh to go for Saturdays 342 mile ride. I would ride Home shortly after the 342 route is over. Likely would have to work Sunday morning! I will post up an update and possibly a PM to you say July 14th thursday!

holy shit, for me it would be a near Iron butt! 896 miles total! lol

Hmmm, this is very possible for me to all do in 1 loong day! I would leave my house at like 4am, should give me enuff time to REST prior to the official group ride start time of 9am!

interested for sure! what is the est. Time to complete the 342 mile route? (I have 4 hour ride too/from the Start point to consider)

I will be working, or else I would join you! (Golf course DEMANDS it, while everyone else gets the 4th off and PAID holiday)

Hello, A few of my michigan fellow riders are talking about going to this again!

Gingerman is a fun track, even more so since its been 90% re-paved!!!

Bummer... I would love to join (I just got a Radar detector and NEW CHAIN) but I will be @ work 8am and MILES away . . . If only I could Teleport! lol

Interested . . . Hmmm Sunday 6/5/2016! Anymore details please? Meet spot, Time, Kickstands up time, etc?

8am kickstands up? Bah I will still be at work at 8am . . . only 3 hours 44mins away! "Beam me up Scotty" Be safe, enjoy the ride!

Again, Thanks for doing this Epic Ohio Ride! I wish I could Ride down and join your guys rides every single weekend, but I cannot!

Yea I'd like to see that footage, as yours would be the ONLY one from our Group!

Thanks for the Ride! 728.4 miles It was great to met several of ya, Jon,Jen,Jason,Dubie and see Nivin again! Too bad there will be "LOST FOOTAGE" of our Group. I saw 3 Gopros fling to the side of the road and 1 License Plate! Looking forward to Riding with some of ya this season for a 1-2 day ride or Next year 2017 Epic Ride!
