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

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.

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. Crap Vid: https://youtu.be/DkUXkR3OEps

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.

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.

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. Marlboro Man

Derek, I enjoyed last years ride with you and Jim. Will try to make it again. B.

Congratulations on the new bike. As far as good places I will suggest you may go to: http://www.advrider.com/forums/index.php this is a world wide Adventure Forum. Adventure Ohio is Regional: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28732 There is a little bit of everything in AO but sometimes rides will get posted. The rides are a mix of everything. Introduce yourself and see what going on. I have posted events here on OR before but have not had much Adventure type response. Hope to see you on a group ride sometime. B.

Nivin, Sorry to here about the mishap, I wish him a speedy recovery. I waited till 1pm at New Concord and then drove to 83S to 78 turned around and drove back to Cumberland, No Joy, Turned around and drove 83s -339s-550w-379N 78W back to HH. 230mi. I am sure we can do this again. B.

Nice Route, Did not know the route till today so I signed on a different ride. Enjoy the ride. Next time. B.

Do you have a in-route fuel stop and estimated time. I don't go above I70 often and could meet and join in further south.

I concur with Tigerpaw. In my world of Military, Commercial, Civilian Aviation I have seen the majority of Pilots will denie, denie, denie any wrong doing what-so-ever. That's why we now have to plug in after the flight and check the (ACMS) Aircraft Condition Monitoring System to check specific engine and aircraft parameters are exceeded. "Hey Fly Boy, You wrote in the log FLT. 1 OK and signed it off. You want to tell me why I have a engine overtorque event that lasted 5 min. followed by a Rotor Overspeed. Plus you Overtemp the Hot Section with that manual start-up. Hey Buck Rogers, You care to tell me why the tail stinger in bent and all the anti torque drive shaft coulping nuts slippage marks are gone. Class A accidents are what change things and it is a very slow process. Pilot self reporting for pilot mental health issues, This is about to change after the last biggie. Save that (strong culture of owning up to your own mistakes) for holiday family dinners.

No Problem, We can do it again sometime. Here is a group of shady folks at the gas stop.
