    Eclipse Trip

    Eclipse Trip: Wife and I took a few days’ to ride, ”Slow” down thru Kentucky to Crossville, TN. area to view the Eclipse. We traveled on curvy back roads most of the time until we were returning home trying to out run the thunderstorms that slammed us around McArthur, OH. First night was in Slade, Kentucky with pizza at Migules. Next day we followed the (KAT) route south staying on the asphalt down past Jamestown, TN. near Crossville, TN. It was hot and traffic was picking up so we headed back into the forest with tree cover and Mountain rocks that were wet to stay cool while we waited for the Moon thing. After the event we stopped by the former secret town of Oak Ridge grabbed a snack and headed back on the (KAT) route to Jellico, TN. and spent the night at Pine Mountain State Park Lodge. Next morning we started heading home still trying to stay on the back roads to stay cool but still try to beat the storms. We had a great time. I love the asphalt back roads of Kentucky. Here is some video clips of the trip.
  2. Good luck and stay safe in the classroom Durk. I will try to ride 536 for you and keep the preferred line clean. I had a math teacher back in 72 that had the new 4 stroke Kawasaki Z1 900cc. That was a bad ass bike back then and as a 14YO dirt bike rider I thought that was so cool. I cut him a lot of slack in class and behaved for the most part in between boners.
  3. I think dot is fixing Derek's corner down here. I requested more banking and sand run off.
  4. Well done, It's nice to have a cruzer in the garage for special occasions.
  5. If I remember you have a special relationship with a fast left sweeping downhill turn. I gave you a ride on the back of my Z1K. The wife said we looked very odd together on my bike. Something like this?
  6. 278N is fun with a few blind Jumps and Curves. There are a few residential driveways so clear the view before launching. I normally depart Nelsonville and stay on 278N to right on 595N just past Carbon Hill. 595N into New Straitsville is fun then right on 216 to Murray City left on 78N to Glouster, (Fuel) and then you must decide 329S to Trimbel and Amesville at 550. or 78E. Just a change to the routine.IMHO
  7. If you are going to trail ride get a single. If you want to run adventure? Man The Fuck Up, 90-100 HP is required. Anything less, We will be waitting on you and that shit gets old after day three.

  9. Nice 150mile mid morning street run down thru Athens area and around Hocking Hills with no traffic. Lake Hope:

  12. Q, Those were the halffast bikes you were chasIng but well done. Wat to
  13. No one rides with us because. A. We are old and have to pee frequently. B. We don’t have helmet communications. C. Our stops are for fuel, snack and pee. NO! Facebook updates or “there I was” stories. D. It’s about the ride. We did have an unscheduled stop on route 7 when we saw the Hate Train at a café. We checked in on them and hit the restroom and tried to down some coffee. We left shortly because Tonik was seductively licking a soft serve ice cream cone with his eyes locked on the large bearded short order cook who had a strong Russian accent. A lady left with her infant child before she could finish her lunch it was so bad. I had fun and thanks for letting me ride along. I don’t mind leading a group but please publish the route in a (gpx) format and last thing. Jacob, Quit whining like a bitch to Tonic off line.
  14. Had a great time. Sorry about the dirt road detour, Can't get the Adventure stuff out of my head sometimes. Video of 536
  15. Glad you are OK Doc. made it home 350miles. great time was had. Nice to see the Ohio riders out in force. video later.
  16. I use to train out to 100 but now it's all just memories. I think we both are going to hit 60 here shortly and will need 1290 super duke's.
  17. I said I was old not slow. I really enjoy following Jschaf, It's a ninja thing. His helmet reminds me of my glock's front sight having him out front creates a calm focused sight picture for me. On the other side Durk has a flashing strobe brake light and a huge Dead Hooker Bag on his seat rack that makes me thing I am following "Biggie Smalls."
  18. If you gent's had any class at all you would be meeting at the Chapman's Coffee House, 68 1/2 West Main Street, New Concord, OH 43762. a block away from the fuel mart behind the Johnny Glen museum. I am sure the euro trash bike riders would get there early to sip a Chai latte or some other ass pounding creme drink. Any hooo, I will try to find you wherever, fall in line and behave as old people do.
  19. That's code, The Doc did say that I no longer have a nodular on my prostate and that If I was gay, They would call that a speed bump.
  20. During the weekdays I am able to use this route with little traffic for a quick Moto fix. 374-56-664 So do others: http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2014-aston-martin-vanquish-road-test-review
  21. I was hoping to finally meet you in person. Hand tremors are fine unless you are shooting someone or threading a needle, just get some sleep.
  22. I got the finger wave from my physician during my annual check up.
  23. Sorry, no I70 for me. Not much of a waver, I just nod a little.
  24. Last two day's I been Installing a Full Arrow Exhaust, Pwr.Cmd.V, HealTech Exhaust Servo Eliminator, X-Tre Power Box and most important, Heated grips. Power on checks, mapping and test flog completed. Still must wire in the Heated Seat and ABS cut-off switch.
