where is jimbos?

Today I rode my supermoto around Hocking Hills. This was the second trip I have taken there, both within 3 weeks. So I started off leaving Baltimore headed south on 158. Went down through Lancaster and then proceeded east on US-33. Riding a supermoto on 33 is slow and boring. Got gas at a Sunoco just before 374 (a little over a gallon and half tank with 30-40mpg-ftl) 347 Ride Report The beginning of 374 is kinda like 664 in that the turns aren't all that impressive and there are long straights. But a little while into the ride it begins to get good. With nice sharp turns and beautiful scenery I knew I was going to have a great ride. 374 had a few turns that were leaf covered and slippery. 374 looks like it had been repaved in recent years. Good blacktop, no gravel in the turns, and also with most turns being banked riding at a rather fast pace is almost effortless. There were a couple state parks along the way. Great if you are on a long ride and plan to ride 374 so make a midway stopping point (or just something to check out). You can break Route 374 into four parts. From US-33 Route 374 heads south then ends into route 180. This section was slow to start with leaves in some turns. GREAT part of road with many turns. To continue 374 make a right and start heading back west (SW i guess). This quick little jog has some nice long sweeping turns. Then Route 374 picks back up on the left (180 continues straight). This is the section that has a state park on the left (within the first 4-5 turns). This is the longest stretch of 374 without stopping and BY FAR my favorite. Absolutely beautiful roads/scenery. I love riding roads where the trees cover the top of the road (block the sun). It just seems like your riding alone with no one else in the world, no cares, no where to be just riding like its meant to be. (imo) You can see most of hocking county just from this road. GREAT turns The 4th part is where 374 intersects 664. You have to go north on 664 to pick up 374 on the right. Through this section you ride throught the whole hocking hills/old mans cave state park. Short section of road but still good rode. Alot of 30-40 mph turns (sharp) On Route 374 there are NO AMENITIES (gas/food) Route 374 has alot of elevation changes. Climbing/desending hills Ride continued... I picked up 664 from 374. But i then went down 374 to route 56 (This is where i thought i got gas last time--i was wrong) Last time I got gas in Lauraville (180 and 56 intersection) I was tricked because where 664 ends into 56 there was a marathon gas station, but once you get up close to it you find out its closed/abandoned?...I was almost empty was FAAAR from Lauraville. I was going to hate life it I had to push my bike to get gas. I just barely made it to Lauraville (running on fumes it seemed) Once i fueled at 180/56 i headed back up route 180 to pick up my favorite part of route 374 (section #3) for the second time. The third section ends into 664 Route 664 Ride Report This is the second time I'm on 664 today. The part of 664 from route 374 to Old Mans cave is the good part. I stopped off at a local grocery/restaurant place and got a lil bite to eat. Got a sub--quality comparable to a "roach coach" (pre-made with nothing special) Like Route 374 on Route 664 there arent any places to get gas. The roads were excellent quality. No gravel. Lots of tight turns with some sweeping turns in the mix. Nice elevation changes to have excellent views. The part of 664 north of Old Mans cave is mostly straight with long sweeping turns being the only turns (1-2 sharp turns). Kind of boring stretch of road. All and all it was a great ride. Beautiful weather, great scenery, no accidents, and no cops. Route 374 is now probably my second favorite road in ohio (#1 is 78) Cliffs 374--4 parts of win 664--only good between 347 and old mans cave beautiful weather/scenery great ride lots of parks No where to get gas/food todays ride--win

great ride today. rode 374, 664, and brief spurts of 180/56 nice weather, great scenery, good roads, and no cops equals a great ride to me

well im heading out, call text me if you want to come along

depends, pauls bike is going to be cheaper than a gsxr600. alot depends just on the insurance agency. State farms is the cheapest i know of. I pay 108 per month for my cbr600rr for full coverage 100/300 liability with a $500 deductable (sp?) and my drz is 36/month

street but thats whats great about a sumo, i can do both I can wait on you too meet me at my shop, probably leave around 3-3:30? or sooner Route is gonna be 374 down to 180/374 over to 36, then pick up 374 again. Take 664 south to south bloomingville, there is a gas station at 56 then we can head back the same way or take 180 up or 664 up (664 is kinda heavy traffic near US33)

kinda last minute but im going out for a little ride today, if you want to go just text/call probably riding hocking hills...? 614.562.9999

the suzuki should be a good quad, has the drz motor which is pretty much bulletproof

kinda like a big happy hour, but with bikes. Normally they have specials on food/beer, live bands, some dealers might have bikes on display, raffles sometimes. But most likely today wont have a good turnout (fair weather riders )

paul we should be up there around 8 or so, and might stay and get some food. So i'm thinking we might be there till around 9..? but idk You could meet up with us later, we should be riding till around 11-12-1am what your cell #?

i like it!

i will come and take your dollars

1200 dollar quad just ride it till it breaks. i have no experience with the 400ex but friends of mine say that the 416kit is the one to get

if you push he over i bet he would be like a turtle on its back lol

i never carpet my personal enclosures because i can setups sooo often, but line-x is the best i've found. usually just resin and paint the enclosure (mdf is very dense and porous so you need a sealer before paint) or carpet it. everything i build in the future will have line-x, or its home theater a nice paint job or laminates (sp???)

i do appriecate my builds. I build for competitions, and rarely bump in high public areas (distrubing the peace) Now alot of people i build enclosures for are the opposite

so if anyone needs help with a project or wants something built, let me know. I can build sealed vented/ported EBS =extended bass shelf (home theater) Transmission line (car/home) ABC Box (kinda like a ported box, but ported at 2 different frequencies) 4th order bandpass 6th order bandpass infinite baffles passive radiator systems and line arrays (home theater)

nope its going in a suv yep, thats jacob's All bass=fail. My build will be geared toward sound quality. Just really loud. Planning on putting 3 speakers with 1 tweeter in each pillar, two 6.5s in the doors and possible more built into the wall if needed

i have an 8 now that plays low as anything. soon it will be either 8 15s or 4 18s in a wall. or maybe a 6th order bandpass wall:cool:

any updates gabe?

better to use a mic, rather than a meter. at such a low sound level like 82dB as meters such as the Termlab work on pressure and i think it would be inaccurate outside a vehicle
