since its the first ride for many of us thinking about keeping it short and mostly on well known clean pavement if thats okay with the rest,

bad u remember the route we did the last quick ride of fall, how about a little bit extended version of that one? we can be done and be home by 4:00 before the cold sets in

When we met at the QSL in Canton?

You guys don't have to cut short for me or anything, I can always just split off but I just don't wanna get too far south

Let me know where you want to meet Doc. I have my cam chain tensioner on order and hope to have it here and changed by late friday night. If I dont get it fixed by then I will see if I can ride the 636.

some thing like this, about 100 miles, all these roads we rode towards end of season last year, most in good condition some perfect at that time.

All routes starts at waynesburg speedway,

Route 1 : decent roads about 110 miles, including the favorite nice clean stretch of 646 and 799 we can split of at scion

Route 2: i like this route since some very nice roads like 151 and 152 in there in addition to the good parts of 646 9 and 250 which were clean last year end. about 132 miles, we end up close to carrolton route 39, easier for us to split off, much more northwards.

Route 3: shortest among the three at 85 miles, but still very sweet ride and puts up way back up north close hanoverton in route 9 and 30 again easier to split off. This will be very ideal if temps tend to remain close to 50 instead of 60, so we can start a little bit late and end early while the sun still shines.

Did he just ask what I think he asked?

lol i thought the same thing. I figured since he's new I'd be nice since when I was a noob I didnt think I could handle 3-400 mile days

600 or 700 miles in a day is about my limit.

+1

I consider anything over 300 a good day, and right around 400 to be ideal.

It takes some time to get used to riding those distances, but once you get used to it, it's all you'll want to do.

Couldn't be more accurate! Now it seems I hate getting the bike out and dirty unless its gonna be a couple hundred miles of sweet, sweet twisty action

Do you guys trailer the bikes down or just ride from wherever to Canton, ride for 2-3 hours and then ride home?

I can't make this ride but i just don't think i could handle that much riding anyways.

This is the curse of living in NEO. It's about 70 miles each way of boring highway to get to any roads that are worth riding on a sport bike (read twisty and not a lot of traffic). Once you get to the decent roads you might as well spend a little time having fun.

Riding good twisty roads is actually less tiring than droning on the hwy, but you need to work up to the long days. YMMV.

Almost all neo guys (except the lucky punk hail wood :D ) has to slab 1 to 1.5 hours to reach a decent meet spot, usually around 100 miles to meet, 300 mile ride then 100 mile back, this we do during peak riding season when daylight is plenty. This being in a cold day season beginning ride that why restricted miles.

But no worries at all, once you start riding, you gonna get hooked and the miles fade away, u just wanna keep riding :) don't be intimidated by the numbers, just jump out and experience it, then only you will be able to decide whtr good bad or worse

The only NEO'er I've known to trailer to Bolivar was Jinu...and we all know what kind of cunt he can be.

I've considered it....if it was any further of a slab, I probably would. Straight slabs are like torture. If it was twisties on the way there, I'd ride 2 hours down and back and be :D the whole way.

Edit: Never really thought of it, if someone from Cleveland wants to trailer down and split gas, I'd be game.

I never had anyone to ride with before and then it was on a ninja 250R. I think the most miles i put on in a day is like 100.

Where in CLE are you at? I assure you there are now plenty of us in the area to ride with!
