  1. Remember when they were called Peace Officers. This is a good read. Understanding “Peace Officer” vs. “Law Enforcement Officer” http://markmccoy.com/police.htm
  2. Jim, you can try out my VS anytime.
  3. 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:
  4. 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. :-)
  5. I may be able to meet at McConnelsville on SR78 11:00-11:15 No wait.
  6. 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/
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Road my new V-Strom over to Wayne trail area in the heat yesterday for some low speed training. Crap Vid: https://youtu.be/DkUXkR3OEps
  10. Thanks Mick, I normally try to avoid that Mud mile area on two wheels. B.
  11. 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.
  12. Very nice. Great choice.
