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.

Every two years I ride the BRP south with the wife and her spyder. I would skip skyline drive,. save it for a short trip. 219 is a nice route down thru WV. to 250 will take you to the north enterance. The lodges are great places to eat and stay. Also hit little Switzerland, NC. Great place to stay/eat is (the little Switzerland inn) On top of the mountain. If you get tired of the parkway and need a break jump off and stay in Floyd, VA. Hotel Floyd has live bluegrass playing on the grounds and Dogtown Roadhouse has live classic rock and great food. If you need to make time 221 south will get you out of Floyd and moving. Back on the parkway south Tuggles Gap Rest/hotel is great also.If you make it down to the 58 intersection you have the (Meadows of Dan) Campground if you are into tent camping. Good Luck and enjoy.

This looks nice. Will try to make this.

i think it is. I saw it on here.

Have to work out a few issues before I commit. If I do I will be in my new summer riding outfit in Kawasaki Green.

You caused me to reconsider with your Ghay Love connection thing. I am out. Have fun and enjoy Townsend.?

Max, I was thinking about attending the event with both my bikes, Z1000 & V-strom 1000. Are you still looking for someone to share your big trailer and gas expenses with. I have not looked into lodging yet. I am just outside Logan on 93. Let me know and I will look into lodging. Also are you wanting to ride some adventure dirt stuff on your DR? Brian

Your original post stated that the problem was Turning from a STOP. Not basic cornering or advance corning on the move. The reason I want you to stand at the position of the dot is so you can watch her eyes and see if she is looking down at the out side boundary line and going wide in the turn. She must focus on the 90deg line of sight at you to make this a no brainier type maneuver. If Now you say she is having a throttle control issue during the (Turn from a STOP) then she needs to concentrate on clutch control. It doesn't matter what you do with the fucking throttle as long as you are at 1/4 to 1/2 as you complete this turn from a stop. The Clutch engagement accelerates the movement of the bike smoothly thru the turn from a stop. so focus on that. If she stay's in the engagement area of the clutch she can better control the bike thru the turn. If she let's the clutch out to abruptly and looks down at the outside boundary line the bike will stand up and she will continue to Fuck this simple maneuver up. Keep your instruction simple and easy to understand. "Look at me , Now ride to me." This is a basic control issue that must be learned in a controlled environment before moving on to the next basic corning drill at speed or on the street. Good Luck. Again this is just a old school opinion. I am out of here. YMMV
