Might try to do a mid day ADV loop around the area on this Tue or Wed. looks warm with slight chance of rain. Will stay east of SR33 due to flooding. one stop crossing at 664/37 Bremen, OH is a good start with fuel. 120-150 mile, mixed gravel, Chip/seal, asphalt. Big Bike friendly. Must get out and ride before the GOV orders us to stay home or else!!!

Wife and I are Sheltering in place. ☹️

My first set of Modifications to my Z1K was Ivan ECU reflash and two sets of maps for my PC.V. one for all out power and my old man midrange setting that I use.

The cool fresh water streams of the region are my Bidets, All my wilderness rides are adventure in all activities. Enjoy that Trout on the grill.

Today was a full day of preparation for riding parts of the (SCAR) South Carolina Adventure Route next week and March Moto Madness at the end of the month.

I am all set up for Tellico Plains, TN. March Moto Madness 26-29th. I will be roosting gravel /mud and splashing water crossings for the most part but will report on the curvy asphalt connectors that are so popular with the asphalt crew.😃

Jim's MORGAY Since moving here in 2011 I have enjoyed the Epic fast rides and some spirited pace rides posted by OR members. They have been super fun and executed safely. I am not on FB so I hope this forum will remain a place to join in on spirited rides. I will always show up for Jim's donuts and shenanigans. P.S. I do have a Sena and I can shoot from a Motorcycle.😜

I want to party with you!! Do you have any donuts on board? Wow , mabey a trip to the Honda Hoot in the fall with stuffed Teddy's on the top case and vest with a OR patch!!! All this talk of SLOW SlOW SLOW . Count me in. P.S. where the fuck is Cleveland and Atawood Lake. It's Friday and I'm into the red wine. (😲love you man.)

Yes, My V go's everywhere. 😁

02/03/2020 the Wife and I rode the area and I can give you our road conditions report. 555 from Ringgold (555/78) south to Chesterhill (555/377) is broken asphalt with cold patch repairs. 555 South of Chesterhill down to Cutler (555/Veto rd.) Great shape. Just south of Chesterhill (555/676) 676 east to Watertown: Great shape. 144 out of Hockingport/Coolville northbound is great up to Stewart then 329 to Amesville: Great shape. 377 McConnelsville south to Amesville: Great Shape. Route 550 great shape.

It's been two years but I could do another 3 day SM500 this year. If there is any ADV types are interested. Could attache it to the Deals Gap thing, or not. Autumn weather is nice down south. https://youtu.be/sfxI4PRIo5o https://youtu.be/dpS6wnnaSJ8

I like to do Both

Yes I am pretty sure this is a direct bolt up to a floor mount. I would call and check first. when using this hitch mount style changer you are facing the rear of the truck pulling the tire bar from the 2 o-clock pos. to the 6 o-clock pos. there is the frame blocking the bar from hitting the tail gate. I do not want to bolt anything down on my concrete floor of my garage so this works fine. Video My Set up.

Pauly, Give me a shout out if you want to ride some ADV stuff with someone down below I70 in Ohio/KY/WV/Va I prefer the gravel a day after a rain day, keeps the dust down and provides more feedback in the front end, IMHO Also learning to ride gravel and two track with a (90/10 ) Tire like your Ank3's will get you use to the bike moving around under you and you will understand that momentum is your close friend. Then again you have all the electric rider aides on that bad boy so get your KLIM power ranger gear, Ride standing the fuck up and learn the BMW stare.😉 PS You will lose big time BMW/KTM Points if seen riding with Suzuki V-Strom bikes. Good Luck, B.

I am most likely backing off this year but I have said that before. I have enjoyed the changer with 3 bikes and my wife's Spyder. Haven't met many local riders in Hocking Hills area since moving here in 2011. Many come down to ride from the north. The Adventures bike gets changed most often going from Bridgestone90/10's to Mitas E-07 50/50's and Mitas E-09 20/80 and E-10 30/70's depending the location of the next multi day adventure. I have a e-10 on the front and a e-09 rear awaiting a spring "March Moto Madness or a 3 day route I have here in KY/VA/WV Tire changer and maintenance lift platform are the greatest for thou's that maintain there own bikes.

Sounds like more big bike Adventure Riders in the house now. A few more and we might get a thread back for ride planning/sharing. 2020 should be a great year for dirty activity. I hope.

Not sure I understand Upgrade. I have included all extra accessories that I purchased. I no longer have a need for this. I am officially old, retired and lazy.

Yesterday was a great day for a little outside yard work around the house.

The Monongahela NF and the G.W./Jefferson NF areas of WV have some GREAT Big Bike ADV off road-ish style routes that have easy exit access to Hotel/Food/Beer/Shower/Rest/Beer. Also great asphalt twisties.

02/03/2020 Great First of the new year ride over to Belpre, OH. for lunch at the "Coffee Cup" Restaurant. Great food. The route from the Hock was 93 to New Straitsville, 216 - Murry City, 78-Glouster, -329- Amesville, Coolville, Hockingport, 124 to Belpre. Great Road conditions. RETURN: T89N to Veto Road. west to 555N to Ringgold and 78 back to Hocking Hills. 150miles that felt like a all day 300 mile ride. Dam. the wife was with me on her Spyder so I was behaving for the most part.

For all the old school boomers that still like to wear a wrist watch during dress-up. My dear wife had this watch crafted by Celeste Watch Company for me as a birthday gift. The photo is from my last Nov. run down the Dragon.

Still for sale. Start the new year off right.

Someone say tire changer?? No Mar tire changer in the shit for sale page thing. I am an old Boomer and don't know how to link it.A😵
