B-Mac

10am at the Marathon. I am in.

That Item was marketed as a Man Pump back in the early 90's. I got one back when my junk was showing signs of wear and tear, slow response. You too eh. I finely gave up and got married at 47 and have been using it for break bleeding ever since. i guess they rebranded it. Man Pump by

Happy birthday, Jim we both have crested hill and are free to shit our pants at any time. 😯 Wait, I think that's 70. I must check my Old Fart Guide Book. We got 10 more years of proper behavior.😎

I am 70% In! With a New Concord meet up. 10ish.👍 Will update Thursday. Thanks, Rick.

Thanks Durk, Two were 0 speed tip overs. the last was low speed F/end wash out. My right side rib took a shot and i was coughing up yellow poo the next day but now it hurts just a little when I break wind.😀 It's nice to have help picking the beast up when the tires are higher than the seat and bars.

That would be a great time to do a loop I have been trying to complete this year. 1000 mile Loop 4/5 days from Ohio down south Ironton, on the east side (KAT) route (Williamson, WV. to Appalachia, VA.) Then east to Damascus, VA. (adv route) hitting the start of the (MABDR) riding north to Romney, WV. then back to Ohio. Motels, Big Bike friendly conditions. BUT......... May go the same route opposite direction leaving Marietta, Ohio depending on rain and conditions. Roamer and Max Power were interested. can break off and asphalt road it home at anytime.

Draw a circle. laurelville-180e to Gibisonville - south to south Bloomingville - 56w to Laurelville and that just about covers it. We were also just a bit south of 56 but not down to 50 where their is more good stuff. Come down and ride sometime bring the roamer stay at the holiday inn express in Logan, ride all day and drink beer and eat BBQ at Millstone restaurant. or camp at new straitsville campground, ride wnf trail and surrounding area. Eat beans and cornbread in your tent at night time.

July 14 ADV ride with BikeRiderMark and Max Power who was joining us on his first ADV ride. I can attest that he has the Knowledge, Skills and Abilities to handle any off road ADV stuff. Sorry it took so long to download this short video but my equipment was in error. You can see O.R's Max leading a few section showing grace and agility while B-Mac tipped over and crashed on more that one occasion. I was off my game all day. enjoy.

I wanted to ride with you but I got rangled into a Non-Motorcycle camping trip to Indian lake SP. Not a bad route during the weekday. Glad you had fun. Next time. 100_1075 by

Great Time was had. Thank you Maximum Power and Bikeridermark both for making the ride and for helping me pick my ass up off the dirt every 20 min. I fell more today than the last 4 years. You did so well today. I got some great video of you leading us on the route. but for now here are some photo's.

NLT 9:30 am Depart Laurelville, OH. "Old Town Diner" for ADV TOT route to Nelsonville, OH. If it's too dusty will switch to an ADV Backroad blitz in the hills and valleys of the area on Chip/Seal bumpy ridge roads with narrow blind hills and turns with jumps and drop in's. 90/10 tires easy. Note: I will be eating breakfast at the diner around 0815-0830 Note: I checked today, It is very dusty in the open gravel roads.

Great ride today. 291.0 miles at 54.7 avg speed at 5hrs 17 min. Thanks for leading the ride romar and the invite howabusa. Skinny, I wish you could have made it earlier. I like getting home around 3pm.

In, don't wait. 😎

I will be on the Z1K. The V-Strom has 50/50 Mitas tires for ADV stuff. I can make the 10:30 New Concord Fuel Mart if you both are good with another rider. I am happy to sweep/observe and not interfere with the mission.🙂

Otsego at 9:30, 83 - 78 - McConnelsville Marathon Gas station is a 1Hr. Rick, It would seem to me that 11:30-12:00 is late to hitch on with the Roamr express if they come thru McConnelsville on the way to let's say 377S Kent, is this two separate ride's?

I should be there. 11:30 Don't wait. Thank's Rick.

Can a old guy join in at New Concord? Time? or McConnelsville?

Jim, Nice report on your new ride. Yes the Torque of a tuned V-Twin can be intoxicating or at least a enjoyable difference. I left a long history of I4 in 2004 and now after picking up the Z1K in 2014 I still prefer the soul and torque of the twin. I am happy to have both. Look fwd to a ride with you again. WV is calling.🙂 Looks like we might get a break from the heat soon.

I have been using a Caberg Tourmax since 2015 on my ADV rides and like it a lot. I would recommend that you purchase a extra face shield with your new helmet because shipping cost can be high for a replacement. Also the customer service Anal Breath Dick Bag's over in Italy don't know the difference between a Visor-Lens- Shield. Caberg Tourmax by

Yes, I have taken it and I think it is worth the detour. You can see the Bridge and Gorge from different angels. Great photo locations. Also on your way down to Marion, Do a quick lap around Burke's Garden. Interesting place with some history. YMMV

Hi Kent, I just saw this. I am up for joining you if you would like a wing man . the Sunoco gas station is close to 374. 25381 Clear Creek Rd, Rockbridge, OH 43149. this is a common meet spot. post or ring me if needed. 740-777-1154

Nice Photo, Are the Tires and Bash plate any indication that you may have enjoyed the many adventure routes located down in the Deals Gap riding area?? (snowbird loop, star loop, Cherokee challenge, ....) I know it's difficult to get any ride report out of the O.R. secret ADV society.?

Luke, Thanks for the ride. it was nice meeting new and seeing old. I was not dancing while operating a motor vehicle. I was doing some PT on my recently rebuild Rotator Cuff. Lateral Raises with a little external rotation added for style.
