Happy Birthday, Welcome to Club Geezer. Ride Well, Enjoy

Sorry Rick, I am doing dirty ADV stuff this weekend.

Great labor day 240 mile ride today from the Hock out past Cambridge area and back with the wife/Spyder in tow. Great weather. We staid off so of the more tourist routes and enjoyed quit back roads. Chandlerville - Claysville - New Concord (Coffee) - Senecaville - Buffalo - Musky Bucket( Via 284) - Mconnelsville - Philo - Shawnee. Route 669's Chip is almost all packed down. 146 & 313 & 248 all in great shape. My new (Bridgestone Battlax T30 EVO's) on the Z feel good and are pretty much scuffed in but will have to go out alone to clean up the edges and get a real feel on the front at a elevated pace.

705 Pike Street, Marietta Country club driveway off 7. Motel parking lot on left. I just checked it out. I will be there for the bratwurst cook out. I will be looking for Shoop the chef. Not riding, working sat/sun in the area.

That is a long way for you to travel. We can also jump over into WV/PA at New Martinsville and do a loop and back into Ohio. I road east out of Proctor,WV on hwy. 89 Protctor Creek road last Sat. with the Wife and I can assure you that this would be fun at speed. Them 250 down to 7 west back to New Martinsville bridge is a thought.

Let's keep an eye on weather for next Friday and revisit this plan of attack first of the week. I will look at the road conditions.

No, next week Mon & Fri.

We still got time for another Ride!

My French Dip was nostalgic in nature and brought back memories of the 80's for me. Like this Video, Yes it's real.

You all are having way to much FUN! King Kenny, started training with the mini's back in the day According to Superbikeplanet, the three-time world champion had owned the ranch for about 35 years. What began as a practice track for Kenny and his friends and family eventually grew to become the Kenny Roberts Training Ranch. It served as a hands-on classroom for eventual championship riders like Eddie Lawson, Wayne Rainey, Kenny Roberts Jr., Rich Oliver, and Jorge Lorenzo. Roberts was still active in training professional Gran Prix riders last year, and the track saw regular use by local riders. Roberts’ dirt track training methods would also take root in Europe, where he won the first of his three consecutive titles in 1978. The Spanish site of the KR Training Ranch was adjacent to the Circuit de Catalunya, just outside Barcelona. World class competitors like Sete Gibernau and Valentino Rossi would hone their skills as teenagers on the dirt track. Eventually the advent of electronic controls such as traction control in MotoGP racing would render Roberts’ training style obsolete, but he will always stand as a pioneer in the field. In a 1999 interview, 500cc World Champion Alex Criville credited The Ranch with improving his performance on the road racing circuits. “Riding the Rotax singles at the Roberts school helped me stay calm and comfortable when the bike was sliding and helped me get the Honda NSR500 turned earlier and the power down earlier,” he said. “I was racing Mick Doohan on the same bikes, and riding dirt track helped me get on his level in spite of coming from a 125cc and 250 background.”

Had a great 160mile Sunday morning ride down here around Hocking. Got some shots of Vinny a new ADV-er on his KTM 1190 and I was on my V-Strom. 100_0256 by Vin Ride 2019_0009-0 by 100_0254 by Vin Ride 2019_0009-00-11-59-417 by Vin Ride 2019_0009-00-00-25-775 by

Sounds like someone needs a Adventure bike!

A Great no traffic 210 mile ride today. From the Hock, down to Amesville on 329 (road repair ongoing) up to Muskie on back roads. and then to Chapmen's Coffee shop in New Concord Via Chandlersville 313/83. Return thru Blue rock Forrest to Gaysport, old river rd, to 669 to 555 and back roads home. 669 is packed down and ride worthy. 100_0248 by 100_0249 by
