Which resevoir?

Auto expo? Is it just Saturday?

Is anyone here going? There should be some interesting things there. I'll be there working the Amsoil booth throughout the weekend. I wanted to go to the Chicago show this last weekend but had prior obligations for the holiday.

Bumpitty boppity boo.

Doh! Wrong place. Can a mod relocate to the rides and events? Thanks! 

Hey guys. Tried this in Sp 2014 and had no bites, ended up having to back out on the fall ride. I'll be going regardless this time. But I figured I would offer the same thing again this year. This is for the DEEP South central/South Eastern Ohioans (or north/ NE Kentuckians, Northern W.Virginians), that wish to ride to the epic ride in a group. Seeing as little of interest I had last year, route and time is flexible depending on interest. I don't mind to stop or meet anywhere along the way.

Pace will be quite spirited (Med-Med Fast) depending on the weather and other riders comfort. It will be a good warm up ride for the remainder of the day!

UNLESS SOMEONE POSTS HERE I WILL NOT WAIT AT THE MEET SPOTS. I will post my personal phone number a few days before the event in order to provide a way to contact the moto-caravan for last minute stragglers. After a short and perilous initiation you will be accepted into out ranks. 

Just kidding. But really. 

ESTIMATED SADDLE TIME: 3.15 (Start to finish not counting stops) 

 
I will be departing from Portsmouth Ohio at 7:15am. We will set a tentative meetup in Jackson Ohio @ 8:05ish

Map Link

 I can't figure out how to embed the map with this new format dammit.

Aloha. I ride in Ross county often. I'm an hour south of Chillicothe. lots of good roads in Pike and Hocking if you are willing to venture a bit South or East of Chilli. 

Define NKY? I'm in South Shore. I know there are a good bit of us out in the Cincinnati area. 

Yay motorcycles. 

meat spot.

Thats hardly appropriate. They have a website for that kind of stuff. I think it's called red tube. Lol

So uhhh. Why am i getting notifications everytime tonik and redkow post? Lol

Yay. Tapatalk is back lol

In for Med-fast. I have a tentative +2 in which case I will be riding medium. 

I am happy and comfortable sweeping if needed. 

I'd like to. I still play when I have the time. Other bills just take precedence. I actually just sold my tube rig, I still have my rack setup just in case. 

We went through a few name changes, I don't play with them anymore I just don't have the time, but they are most recently known as Empty Throne. They're a chillicothe based death metal band. Most of their shows have been in the columbus area but they may be in Cinci a few times this summer.

I've played for a lot of other groups too, none had any success past playing bars in Huntington. Bluegrass, Country, Progressive Jazz, Death Meetal, lots of stuff. I have a bit of diversity in my musical background.

OP, what year forks did you use? They look kind of like the 06+ 600/750 that I have.. did you have to bore out the steering stem hole on the top triple? Trying to figure out where to take it or whether it's something I can attempt

I used 08 600 forks and 07 600 triples. Super easy, all bolted straight on. 06/7/8 are all the same I THINK. The only series you would have to bore is the 04ish era. I do believe.Only thing I had to do that was not plug and play was the speedometer, and the ignition. 

This thread has all the information you need for the swap.

Cool man. That's awesome. I guess I'll have to keep some of my gear around, I've been slowly and painfully selling it off over the years to fund motorcycle bits.

The most successful thing we ever did was open for Whitechapel in Cleveland a few years ago. 

I use an app that emulates various scientific calculators. I have mine set up as a ti83. It is called wabbitemu. Super handy if a calculator is not available.

Awesome! Great info thanks! I'm so glad to hear that there is at least a few roads to ride in the area. Marked them on my map!

I'm still expecting most of my riding post-move to be on the track. Ive been scouting out the area via google maps for kart tracks and road courses. Not just for the bike but the car too! There seems to be a pretty good automotive community up there.

I'm a big fan of food and beer too. Seems like there's plenty of good stuff in the area.

Music scene eh? That sounds great. There's not much where I am from and all of the projects I have been part of dwindled out pretty quickly due to the lack of local support.

Mango, looks like we'll have to meet up over a beer and talk motorbikes once I move into town ????

Sweet! Thanks! I'll take any info I can get redkow97. As of now I'm basically charging in blind lol. I've only been to Toledo 3 times. All were quick trips to the university with minimal scouting. 

 

 

we are south of Toledo. 

How much south? lol I thought you guys were in Dayton? 

 

 

I graduated from UT.   I really like the school, the city ehhh.

Cool! What was your degree in? I'm debating whether to apply to their Mech. Engineering program. I'm not sure if I would be able to balance the studies as well as being the sole financial support of this operation. I'm going to need a big boy job to make this happen. On the bright side there seems to be plenty opportunities in the area that could utilize my expertise and degree. 

The school reminds me of Hogwarts.... I swear I half expect some wizard nutcase to mug me every time I walk up to the main hall. 

The city... The city is pretty shitty from what I have seen of it. 

Soooooooooo flat

Hey peeps. Me and the lady will be moving into Toledo this Spring. Right now we're looking for a place to rent and I'm on the job-hunt.

Any Toledo locals on here? I could use a few leads [emoji14]

From what I could tell on google maps there seems to be a few decent Kart tracks around too!

Free bump. I have a pair of these and love them.

This sounds fun.

Preferably after the spring epic ride, as long as it's on a weekend I'm down. Doesn't matter where as long as it's not Cleveland lol.

The only thing worse than a Bengals fan is a Browns fan [emoji14]

I have more pictures, just PM me. 

I'll be there!

2 weeks before lol
