Road a Adventure route with Tpoppa and Romer today. Had a great time. a little dusty. Casper, we may need the Adventure "thread", or topic back on the forum. They looked like they were having fun today.

Yup, We were headed back west, the rain caused a change of plans for lunch. Great day for riding.

It was raining in Marietta around 11:30 and north. Just got home 184.0 miles.

Well Done. No Ohio Riders sticker under the Suzuki???

Well done Jim. The section of 78 btw East Union and Lewisville I see a route just below 145 and 724. have you or anyone tried them. I do like that section of 78 when you need to make up time that's a HAYABUSA section.

Please don't run over my wife on her spyder and me in front leading her while nodding off. We should be through that area before you. I have a lunch date. Have fun and watch the fresh gravel I posted on 555.

Caution, 555 south of Chesterhill, has fresh gravel spilled in a few corners, I know what else is new.

I also made a video of Durk's back side last may with Jim. That was fine, no worries here inmates.

Sorry to hear that news Durk. I was more fortunate today. Took a 275 mile break in ride out to Marietta for lunch and hit a few roads. Had to stay at or below 4k rpm so was shifting like a mad man up and down the G/B. 78E-377S-555S-676E, Lunch at the Marietta Brewing Co. 26N-&8E-536 S&N-78W-Home. Great day, lite traffic and bike’s suspension set up was spot on. Just need a few more miles to free the motor up a bit. 536 is a hoot!

I only use EVOO extra virgin olive oil from Greece infused with red pepper to help break down sludge.

Bel-Ray HP 10W FLUID!

As I stated, I disassembled the Fork Cartridge Assembly. 1. Removed Fork Assembly from M/C 6. Rmvd inner rod damper rod. 2. Rmvd. Fork Cap from inner rod. 7. Flushed/cleaned/Insp. 3. Rmvd Spring retainer and spacer. 8. Reassembled Fork Cartridge Assembly, Serviced, Set adjustments to standard setting. 4. Rmvd damper rod and spring. 9. Completed I.A.W. Manufacturers Service Manual with all special tools and shop supplies. 5. Rmvd Dust seal & oil seal stopper My Bad, I should have been more clear. I guess I wanted to see if anyone came across this discrepancy. Thanks for all the tips. B.

FYI Wrenches? 2016 Suzuki, New 150miles: 40mm Inverted telescopic, coil spring, oil damped I just dissembled my front forks to replace springs and fluid. Total fluid removed: 895ml. Call it 900ml. Manual call out: 569ml each leg. Call it 570X2= 1140ml. Each leg 120ml. short/low I think the dealer/owner was required to give his nephew a summer job and placed him with the dealer’s set-up gang in the back shop with no AC or wifi and he filled each leg and did a top down measurement without stroking the air out and pushed it out to the floor and said “Good to go Uncle. Can I take the rest of the day off?” Check your new stuff.

Replaced my stock Front Fork with a set of progressively wound springs that will handle my heavy old fat encrusted body frame. Also went with 10W fluid.

I missed my dry window for departure. I am getting hammered here at the house with heavy rain. I am Out. Stay safe. B.

H.Hills: no rain, 73degs, 100% ball sac humidity =5% hp reduction in power.

Woweeee! This looks like a good time ride. Small group. It must be private.

I will try to make the 10:30 New Concord fuel mart meet after I finish my coffee at the Chapman's coffee shop next to the John Glen museum. Problem is they don't have Sonik Donuts to go with the fresh brew. Will break off at 536/78 and head west. Hope it's dry. B.

Hope I get to meet this amazing gentlemen sometime. Well done sir.

Brand new bike for "demon releasing 500 mile street rides," Jim is not that young anymore. It better come with a family size tube of Preparation H "with mint cooling gel" and can of Icy Hot Pain Relieving Balm. There comes a time.

Jim, Anything you ride is trackable. At your age I think that a Liter plus Adventure bike may increase your fun factor with the additional roads and trails that are open to you on adv's.

The real issue is how are you going to carry a few boxes of donuts on the new ride. I want to see your top case off the cruiser on the FZ.

Required Speed for tire Suggestions. I want to suggest we adopt a format for Tire proposals: (I'm using a modified @DerekClouser off idle Throttle Video) All tire suggestions should say a couple things, average weight of motorcycle, estimated duration of tread life, maximum lean angle, and reviewers normal riding speed, road conditions and Lat & Long for gobal warming effect.

Sport Touring on my Z1K . I did the Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact tires, nice but did not last long. Now I am enjoying the Angel GT's , Extremely happy but I am old and my riding style could be considered very slow and lethargic. B.
