As always a great read. Enjoyed it and the links....thanks.

Last nite, dinner at Lodge. Enjoyed the view of the lake....fast "Bass" boat zipping along.....squirrels and birds fighting over rites to feeders outside window.....

520 NOT GOOD....saw barricades today....closed. Right now it is closed near USR62. I ran 520 from 514 to Killbuck, turning on the short county road 62A - brings you into Killbuck and pick up SR60 at what passes for the town square. Wife says heard replacing culverts .... So not sure if that means this one culvert or gonna go up and down the highway digging up the new, last year, pavement. Gotta love it. Oh, yeah SR229 closed 2 miles east of Gambier, soon if not now....saw barricades laying for it. Enjoy yer summer!

Nope! Momma was right...standing in the pkg lot and it's 33* and snowing like a son of a gun..... More dead deer along the road coming home.....how hard do you hafta hit a deer to only have the front quarter laying in the road? AND that was on the Danville-Amity Rd. Good thing I didn't ride the bike in, huh?

Yepsir, I think new owner will enjoy it....they seem to be motoring folks....although I cautioned them that on their next trip out West, maybe go 2 up on the BMW.....what with the wee widdle gas tank. Still looks good, didn't even wash it from last ride. Looking at thermometer...I got 68*, but it is raining....think the wife is lying about the snow?

This weekend over....out Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Ride to dinner, breakfast, lunch things, 200 miles each outing. Weather was to be great....Friday evening, run south to old Canal Era village, restored and eateries there. Layered up as expected it to be coolish after sun goes down....wife on her new cruiser. Surprisingly, well maybe not so, the old Shadow has been sold. I barely got it pushed into back of garage and buried when someone called wife about it. Turns out several wanted to know about it. I voted for the blond, blue eyed soccer mom ; >)...itza winner. Hubby showed up on his big Beemer, and was impressed with bike...so itz gone. Thanks 2Tall for the "wholesale" price to begin with.... Friday we cruised along....momma adjusting to the new dynamic 750cc Shadow as I tooled along behind in 3rd gear on the Blackbird (60 or so). Pleasant meal and wandered back home in the twilight, ever aware of moving deer....I only saw all the dead ones....traffic has taken itz toll. Coupla roads closed due to high water, but nothing new here...what do you expect living in the low lands and having beaver building lodges. Momma likes her lites. Bike has a Harley-ish lite bar on it...side lamps to the central regular light. I just entertained myself by dropping back and zooming thru corners when gap presented itself. Can't strafe her anymore as the helmet radio is voice activated and mic picks up the motor noise and she hears me coming...maybe tole y'all about that before. Saturday, a group outing was set, we were gonna try and catch them at the top of their loop. Never did find them, but enjoyed riding thru the state forest. Noticed I need to pay more attention. I come into turns at a steady pace and ferget she is cruiser....dutifully slowing down entering corner and picking her way thru it...so rapid closing in mid turn. Smile as I think, oooo, what if she was Rossi and I was catching him like this in turns on a race track....wish on. Saturday the state forest and scenery...lunch at a quaint town, more leisurely riding and desert at another quaint town...then cruise on with another stop for coffee. Momma enjoying her new bike with 3 and 1/2 gallon tank. The other one had a peanut tank on it. Looked nice size wise to rest of bike, but 94 miles and you would be pushing it to a driveway, or gas station. Not much range. So the new one with an easy 150 miles and still no reserve light shining. Great! Roads we travelled in good shape. Found the occasional spring running across the pavement and some evidence of farmers being in and out of fields. Very nice weather and layers not really needed. The one small town got to chit chat with various bikers. Everyone out riding. One group was all family, the son was on the ... I bought it new in 1985, said dad .... Honda Sabre. Very clean bike. Not sure why they stood up in the restaurant to watch us leave....town had lotsa and lotsa bikes. Saturday was a good day riding, 1PM 'til around 7PM. Never did find the group I was looking for. Sunday, late rising, out on the road at 10AM, thinking breakfast run. Wife says where? Looks like clouds that way, go away from them. So about 30 miles later, breakfast. We had to cope with gusting winds, clear skies, but i got pushed all around? Lean in a turn and gust straightened me right up....riding in a straight section and leaning while going straight. Wife mentioned she saw me leaning way over on the straight. Yeah, it'd be like I was up on the roof with a 4X8 sheet of plywood and the wind was blowing. I just planned on wind direction and stayed over in lane for when gust pushed me sideways. After breakfast pointed bikes home and looked for the sheltered roads to return home on...low under hills and lotsa trees between us and wind. Arriving home...did some chores and....noticed...not so much gusty blowing...."let's go!" Off in yet another direction and warm with gear on. Road closed sign was a lie, water had gone down. Back home again (after an hour or so) and roasting in the gear....looked at thermometer and it said 84*....well no wonder! More household duties, and then back out on the road...with less layers. Great, great weekend. I'm gonna hate it in the summer, when the lawn needs to be mowed...I'd rather be riding. Curious phenom....the aforementioned family standing up to watch us leave...and I noticed too, every bike group we went by....like several sitting in gas station all stared as we went by. One guy on the road, turned completely around to look at us.....huh? Wife said itz suppose to snow Monday, don't ride to work.......

Link sent via other bd....lemme know.

Jack, your mailbox full.....found a fer sale....wanted to send ya a link...

Nope guess it wasn't youse guys....you'd be at the oil patch company? ....the big beaver lodge swamp.....sorry I missed ya. And UP too, wasn't sure he was alive any more....ha!

DeansZG! Here ya go.... http://flxibleowners.org/ Pokey, we may have passed you guys ....two of ya headed south on 60?

......oh, and they got a Whit's in the back of the Hanover House restaurant. There were quite a few bikes in town this Friday when we stopped for Burgers (Mohican Tavern)...prolee jus' everyone out riding. If you are coming down SR3, ya got the Iron Pony Saloon at intersection of 3 and SR179. They have raised prices of a sort...salad extra with steaks now...still get the butt load of fries.

Bike Show used to be in late June. They closed down the streets and only bikes allowed in. Rib cook off and bar bands stuff like that. Not sure on the Flxible bus reunion though...hafta Google that one. Could try www.LoudonvilleChamber.com or www.DiscoverMohican.com Lodge is great....I stop there frequently on bike ride. Gorge Overlook, covered bridge, dam and lake....ain't walked back to the Falls...if they would let dirt bikes back the trail....who-ha!

As above...yup!

The out and abouts this weekend.....2 hunnert miles each time out....Friday, Sat and Sunday. Wife along learning her new wheels. 3 1/2 gallon gas tank 2tall, better than ole yeller.

Sunday, came into SR60 from Warsaw, road closed sign still up, but it was open.

Always enjoy Loudonville and Mohican. Miss the bike show they use to have. Lodge has pretty good eats too.

Just posted up....you can now get thru on the section of SR60...water down to edge lines....little damp in center line area.....three places. Well I only ran to Blissfield from Killbuck side....that's the lower section.

Quick check out ride....you can get thru....water at edge lines and damp in middle...gravel deposits

Sorry Jack, back to your quest. Mike's Buell sold, he still has the Ducati Multistrada for sale.....you could just move to the Hayabusa, keeping yerself in the Suzuki family....itz a 2012 with aftermarket exhaust..... : >)

Just in, more riding today with this great weather. Roads, a few springs running across road, gravel bits are not too bad except for 520. It is still showing gravel strips down the center of lanes. Be careful. Today's ride, SR60 north outa scenic Killbuck to SR39 west to Loudonville....portion of 39 was chipped and sealed last year from SR179 west to Loudonville village limits....packed in well, but I would be leery of too much lateral force in turns....loose the grapple. Mohican state forest SR97 okay, only one spring running across road, good sailing to Bellville. Took back roads back to Mohican, not go fast roads. Back into Holmes on SR39 until Nashville. Turned south on SR514 to SR520 and back to the greater Metro Killbuck area. Last nite, SR83 to Kershocton, no probs. as mentioned somewhere else SR60 closed by Coshocton, due to high water.....most likely at Blissfield, and look for it to reopen soon. You could chance it, or use my ole favorite back way up from Warsaw to Spring Mtn. and down the other side and come out in Layland...yer hosed however if water is across SR60 at the log cabin near USR62..... Enjoy the weekend folks.

Plus One ..... Smilingly, I say....

High water says radio....prolee at Blissfield, between good ole Killbuck and Warsaw (Riverview High school)....don't expect it to be closed long....planning a trip thru there...Coshocton Sheriff's office could update you re:

No old yeller in back of garage right now....never trade in nothing! I ain't in the wholesale biz.

Jack, just PM'd you....upgraded momma unit on bike. New/old stock. Interesting experience with dealers. Price high and lo was 2 grand on same bike model.
