Well, The V-Strom required a rear tire change to a harder compound Mitas E-09 Darkar Knob! from the E-10 Dakar. The Z1K required a harder Pirelli Angel GT to match front. JIM, Thank you for the OR stickers for both bikes. Will were them with pride and defiance. .

On Asphalt, I have only ridden with you twice and the epic rides I've been on I have been attached to Jschaf's wing. I have ridden with Derek twice. We just finished a ride yesterday in the Tar Hollow area. It's always a good time with lot's of laughs.

The ADV Ohio Columbus Gent's Have a (TOT) Trans-Ohio-Trail gps route You could jump on at East Liverpool and ride for day's. It is a mix of gravel, back roads with some chalgen sections thrown in for a skills test. like the creek I was stuck in. The owner of the route is (Swingset) on ADV: http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/adventure-in-ohio.28732/ PM him a msg and ask for the TOT GPX Route. I think he is on here if you can find the old Adventure thread. Brian.

This System is a must have for old fat has been's that get stuck alone in the wilderness. Motorcycle Recovery System (MRS)? The MRS is a z-drag rope-and-pulley system originally developed for mountaineering and rescue teams. That system was modified for motorcycle recovery operations. Recovery refers to the process of getting the bike back on the road or trail after taking an unexpected detour, or the process of getting the bike out of a bog or a sandpit. https://bestrestproducts.com/shop/recovery-gear-mrs-system/motorcycle-recovery-system-mrs/

Yea, garmin virb has many dashboard data to pick from.

Unseasonably warm weather this Presidents Day weekend gave many a opportunity to knock the dust off their bikes and the local roads.

On another note. Wife and I had lunch at Blue Bell Diner today 2/21/17 in McConnelsville. Wife had a BLT with ice cold bacon and my breakfast had cold bacon. It was 11:30Am. serving cold bacon is a no no. Waitress stated she was trying to teach her daughter how to cook in the kitchen. Owner/manager was not on location. Will not go back for long time. YMMV

Nice meeting you gent's once again. Thank you for the stickers Jim.

The wife and I have had breakfast and lunce there. Great food and clean. B.

Middle age Belly Fat will mess-up a man's riding gear.. someone could make a killing on 2nd hand riding gear store.

What Time do you expect to be in McConnelsville. I will be out that way riding. Do you carry Donuts and ohioriders stickers this early in the season. May be able to hang till Woodsfield and return home on 78. B.

I have had B-Fest and lunch at this place. Great food and friendly owners and staff. Great ride destination from all directions.

I can attest to the outstanding condition and care this owner has placed on this bike. Anyone looking to venture into the dual sport/Adventure riding, this is a great catch. IMHO B.

KAT Ride report ongoing. Great time. My friend D.C. start of report is here: http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/lappin-the-kat.1188129/

Leaving Friday for the Kentucky Adventure Tour (KAT)This is a 900 mile loop around the hills and mountains of south eastern Kentucky. It is about 40% rural narrow twisty paved roads with the rest being gravel, dirt roads and trails. It will take 5 full summer days of riding to complete the main section. Some of these areas are very remote. A suzuki v-strom 1k, a honda cfr 1k, a ktm 990, kawasaki klr 650 and honda 650r will be the steeds of choice. Will do a ride report or link when I return. Brian

Looks like the accident victims are pictured riding together on US129 photo site (Cruiser) Sat 15th Oct 10:18am. Dude on the BMW has a go-pro mounted on his Skid Lid. RIP rider.

Had a great three days of riding with friends down south. Great weather and no problems. My KTM friend got to ride the Gap twice for his first time.
