Rumor is that Pokey is leading the fast group next Saturday?

What he said.

Jim, are you going to deviate a group again like the last ride? Any case if I dont bust my ass at Wailing Wayne I will show.

Remember when they were called Peace Officers. This is a good read.

Understanding “Peace Officer” vs. “Law Enforcement Officer”

Jim, you can try out my VS anytime.

This event is right in my local area and will require my attendance. I think the main theme of the WW and I am just speculating is to ride the Wayne trail system on a 500 lb ADV bike with fellow enthusiast. It's nice to have help picking these beast up when they take naps on the downhill side of a trail. Plus there are so many gravel, chip&seal shit bumpy roads and 3digit curvy, fun roads in the area that are a hooligan fest on a ADV bike. with 100hp, 7-10 inches of properly set  up suspension travel, skid plate, wide set of bars for leverage and a shit load of v twin torque it's all disciplines of motorcycle riding rolled into one intense time. I think the 555 thing is a advert thing of what we have here in Ohio. We all know the road and it is what it is. If I had someone from out of state visit for 4 days parts of 555 would be on our list of roads just so they can they have done it.

Here is a video of Chad's event last year:

Enjoy, I am out.

You tried "no wait" last time & it didn't work, lol. It would be good if you could make it Sunday Brian.

I have a time piece now and the Z has a clock so I should be in good with time. I just need to remember the meeting time. In any case, Don't wait on me. :-)

I may be able to meet at McConnelsville on SR78 11:00-11:15 No wait.

That's awesome. Were there any trails that were tough for a big bike? I'd like to do something similar on the tenere.

There are tough sections that require REAL big bike off -road skill. Not the one day gravel/maintenance road Adventure Ride that many Adventure Bike Riders may be familiar with. Good Luck and Have fun! Link: http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/the-kentucky-adventure-tour-kat.919224/

Completed 3 days 488 Miles of the 833mile (KAT) loop. With my Suzuki V-Strom 1000 and a friend riding his KTM990. This was a great time, Had to cut it short. My riding partner was having issues with the ground and bike. Here are just a few Photo's and Video, No music any more.

Looks like the trails were pretty dry.  Nice ride!!!  What tires are you running?  Shinko 804/805?  Contis?

 

BTW, your video was fine, but I could do without the "Rocky" music score.  Made me feel like I should jump up and run 13.1 miles....

Mitas E-07 Dakar,  front and rear. Some of the hill's were extremely slick going up or down and will provide all the excitement you may need. The dirt has been pounded so much that any wet spot can be slick, the stone they put down on some of the hill's may be good for erosion but are like Ice with all the silt and mud.

Sorry about the music. We all could use a little run now and then.

Road my new V-Strom over to Wayne trail area in the heat yesterday for some low speed training.

I wasnt there this weekend but, it wasn't near as bad the weekend of the 11th or the 18th as it was when I was there June 27th weekend.

And if you stay away from the north part of Monday Creek up by Williams connector it's not bad, just that mile of mud is a mutha.

Thanks Mick, I normally try to avoid that Mud mile area on two wheels. B.

Anyone been on the WNF Monday Creek ATV/OHV Trail System Lately? Has it dried up any since we had so much rain in the first part of July? I want to take the Big Bike out for a day of trail riding. Practice for an upcoming trip. Thanks, B.

Very nice. Great choice.

Do you still have the Z1K? 

Of course, I was out on it all day today. I just sold my 04 DL1000 V-Strom 68K Miles and updated to the next generation 2014.

After finishing my 600 Mi. Svc./Insp. on my new DL1000 V-Strom. I went on a short 3 day trip,1852 Miles, Interstate, Asphalt back road curves, Gravel and Two track Mud. Kentucky, WV, VA,TN. It was 90deg's during the day's but still had a great time. clip and photo's.

Here is a crap vid.   9 July SR56.  93 to 356

I am out. Enjoy

Nice bike Brian. They had one up at Romney on 1 July when I picked up my new V2. Today I finished the 600 mi Svc. Now going next week to ride the (KAT) Kentucky Adventure Trail. You should bring that new bike down to the mud and water. Good Luck and how is your son doing.  B.

Update:  SR56 Paving complete. Road it today. SR 78 leaving Glouster is being done now.

Cigarette butts worked fine back when smoking was cool. O yeah, pencil erasers work too.
