NinjaDoc: "Hope the riders who had unfortunate incidents are doing okay . There were two crashes among the groups which actually rode with the epic ride. And the the third was on his way to join the ride i believe. Wish I could have been of some help, but by the time the news spread and came out it was already hours later. always wished we could keep the slate clean when it comes to this annual big ride. But from the looks it was just bad luck it happened.." Well Doc, Greycat and I had a Awesome time!!! You cant always prevent a rider crashing no matter what you try to do in terms of Safety. So many variables when Riding, that simply put, things happen sometimes! I hope the riders that went down are Ok and wish ya'll a speedy recovery man! We choose to ride the Slow-Slow group and stuck with it! We are both capable of Riding Faster, but wanted to have a fun and Safe ride. For multi-reasons. 1) We both DIDNT know the roads at all. Didnt know what to expect around each corner, what, when is the next one. 2) We both rode 300-350 miles Down just to make it to the meeting spot. No Trailering our bikes down, so no way of "getting home" if we crashed! 3) We consider ourselves as "Touring Riders". So we just wanted a nice easy going cruise to enjoy some Real twisties whilst checking out the Ohio scenery! * Though... a Yamaha R1 ISNT a touring bike, nor is my 650 Ninja! We are talking with our fellow Redlinesuperbike members and Michigan Riders about coming down again this Season, at some point before the riding season for 2013 is over... Ride Safe, Ride Tomorrow!
