3 fuel stops to go 200 miles. What a load of shit!

LIAR!! It was 4 days and damn near Wisconsin.

I had a Snickers bar and a Redbull for lunch but this was waiting for me when I got home...

I mean, not officially...but totes yeah.

I wish. I can't get vacation this short notice. Hell, I cant get vacation with 3 months notice.

Jealous.

Rode with @Likwid for a few miles today. Ran into a slew of OR.net miscreants in New Concord. Zoomed past my crash site and came across a white tractor hauling a tanker trailer. Kind of creepy but at least it didn't hit me. Had a pork sundae in Bolivar with Matt and then scurried home before the rest of society rolled out of bed.

Paid off the BMW 41 months early and saved about $1200 in interest. Gonna buy a myself a root beer float to celebrate.

LOVE that generation of the SV650. Such a great street bike.

Nice. I was planning on a Hundred loop the other day until the weather went sour.

Does commuting on motorcycle roads in my car to eat count? Drove to Richmond down 800, across the river on Sistersville Ferry and then across WV/VA on US-250. Had lunch in Fly at the Riverview Diner.

Gonna roll. Who's down?

Tecnic 40/50 leather jacket. This was Isaac's and is a medium fit. Maybe a smaller medium fit. It has a zip in vest liner and all the zippers work. No tears or rash. Alpinestars Gore-tex boots, size 40. These were also Isaac's. Good condition. No rips or tears. You can pick them up at my place or meet me on a ride and I will bring them with me.

Word. This is how you Smokey Mountain ride.

Boo!! I fly to New Mexico on the 12th.

I left the house at 7am and headed west toward 21S/585/83 and met a friend near New Concord. We then proceeded to roll across 40/265/146/800/148/26/145/556/78/536/260 back to Caldwell where we went our separate ways home. I finished my day tooling around 78/379/265 when I finally hopped on 77N and droned home on autopilot. I put in 366 miles according to my odometer. So, probably closer to 340. Great day. Little chilly at first, but heated gear makes this weather just about perfect for day jaunts to hotdog land.

83 just south of New Concord may be closed. I rode through there last week and they had the signs blocking the road and equipment offloaded. Not sure what they had planned or if it is finished. Just a heads up. Maybe @Killer_kaw can expound for us?

Gonna snow tomorrow. Bike is clean.

Welcome. Congrats on retirement. What did you do at Honda? Like your prents, I was pro-moto. I put my boy on a dirtbike at age 5 and he rode them as a teenager. I bought him a Ninja250 a few years ago and it didn't stick with him. Had planned on upgrading him to something a little more zoomy but he decided streetbikes arent his bag. I'm ok with that, if I may be honest.

I am still planning to ride on Sunday. Anybody that wants to tag along is welcome to meet me at the DQ/Marathon station at Exit 93 off I-77 in Bolivar at 7:30am. I will be rolling south to meet another rider at the intersection of 83/93 by 9:00am. Lunch stop is planned for the bottom of 800 at Riverview Diner, in Fly, OH. We will be taking all the twisty roads to get there.

This ride is postponed until a later date.

Ride has been pushed to Sunday, pending the weather clears by then. I will edit the title.

I want to let everyone know that Mike and @RidersDiscount took care of me and my sudden lack of gear situation. I had made an original order for some specific kit and when it arrived I didn't care for the cut. I explained my debacle with Mike and he said it was no big deal to send it back and start from scratch. So, I sent it back and ordered new kit. I ordered an Astars Wake Air jacket and pants, Andes V3 jacket and pants and an Arai XD4 helmet. The helmet and Andes jacket are still on their way (and Mike made me aware of this before I made the purchase), but everything else is here and was delivered quickly and undamaged by delivery goons. Top notch service, communication and pricing from the best vendor this site has ever seen. Do your part and buy whatever kit you can from these guys. They are amazing to deal with and make the lack of customer service culture seem irrelevant. I can't say enough good things about them. Many thanks!!
