NinjaDoc Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Here is the videoEdit: *video not available on mobile device To start off sorry for not being on here right after the ride and answering and responding to many questions and comments on other thread. Took off to a gap trip and came back only midnight last night. anyways...Taken at the end of the ride This is only about half the people that showed up for the ride in the beginningTo start off, thank you each and every person who showed up for the ride. I hope i was able to meet if not all most of you guys and girls. The parking lot was so full with bikes it was overwhelming. I never been on a group ride this big yet some what organizedFirst off, Hope the riders who had unfortunate incidents are doing okay . There were two crashes among the groups which actually rode with the epic ride. And the the third was on his way to join the ride i believe. Wish I could have been of some help, but by the time the news spread and came out it was already hours later. always wished we could keep the slate clean when it comes to this annual big ride. But from the looks it was just bad luck it happened.Mad props to Inyaz and earache for sacrificing their ride for fellow riders. They both came a long way to joint he ride and had to stay back to help.Big thanks to all the volunteers for the group leads and sweep and brian and cdub who at least managed to get thing moving. we missed UP/pauly kind of figure who would take the lead and start organizing. Like i always keep mentioning, when it comes to real life i just go hide as i am kind of an introvert. Anyways, in the end thing worked out okay even though it took some time. On a rough count we took there were about 75 bikers on the lot. Few of them didnt join the big ride, some came out on cars to meet others etc.Also to mention would be brown57 and Jack flash who even tho didnt have a bike came out to meet the rest which shows how much of an attachment you have with this online community to find some time to come out and meet them in person.And special mention goes to the Michigan band who came all the way down to join the ride, grey cat, and scorpion ninjas. And thx to jch82 for the awesome T shirts.As some one was mentioning too much organization also kills the fun, and thats exactly how it happened. Things sort of just evolved after the groups began to get split of. Each group managed among themselves, taking breaks, detouring, speeding slowing as fit for the group. As always the aim of the big group ride was not to have a lot of people to follow a rigid framework made by rules . The aim is not to show strength in numbers. The ultimate goal was to MEET and share the passion of motorcycling together. I will be 100% confident in saying a number of riders would have met other riders from the area for the first time here.They made friends with them and will be riding with them in future.Just because of shear number we were unable to get things stream lined and organized. I was hoping dizzledan would be flamboyant like last time and herd every one for a group picture, But thing got too hectic and delayed and ride got started before the group pic.The route was fairly technical one. If a new rider, must be doing the slow group. I hope it was fun for the fast guys as well. good road conditions and didnt run into much obstacles.Some how managed to snap some random pictures at the end of the ride. Just walked around and started snapping randomly. I was riding alone and trying to cut off the groups to take pictures. But came across only the slowest group all the time. But at the end only i realized the other groups had taken breaks, detoured etc and was behind the slowest group. Wish i stayed there to grab some pics of the rest.Anyways, will update more details later. I am sure missing lot of details, still sleep deprived and whole body aching from 12 hours of riding yesterdaySome random Pictures, was playing paparazzi clicking away with no setting or focus and stuff, photochopped to pop up colors to make it look different, shud have lept it b&w, but what the heck anything goes.Posting pics that came in at least good to look athttp://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc24/achillezvalentino/Epic%20ohio%20ride%202013/jerry_zps3a08d94b.pngJerry came down only yo help me lead a group, or else he would be sitting home preparing for the gap triphttp://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc24/achillezvalentino/Epic%20ohio%20ride%202013/group_zpsac51f7ce.pngThe med group going to pass slow group.http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc24/achillezvalentino/Epic%20ohio%20ride%202013/fijismall_zpsf4f4cc00.pngfiji sweeping in style, him, fizzer, jerry and me attended all three big ride togetherhttp://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc24/achillezvalentino/Epic%20ohio%20ride%202013/greycat_zpsfbc14269.pnghttp://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc24/achillezvalentino/Epic%20ohio%20ride%202013/michigan_zpse43e2378.pngGrey cat and the scorpion ninjas Enjoying some ohio roads all the way from michigan.http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc24/achillezvalentino/Epic%20ohio%20ride%202013/osumj_zps812e1a15.pngI believe this is awesoMJhttp://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc24/achillezvalentino/Epic%20ohio%20ride%202013/jst_zps3286198d.pngJstfst for the camerahttp://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc24/achillezvalentino/Epic%20ohio%20ride%202013/mykill_zps620dd700.pngMykill rocking the new to him vfr as a group lead.http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc24/achillezvalentino/Epic%20ohio%20ride%202013/ro_zps640a2e56.pnghttp://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc24/achillezvalentino/Epic%20ohio%20ride%202013/debbie_zps9ccfe0bc.pngrepresenting RO owning them roads on cruisershttp://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc24/achillezvalentino/Epic%20ohio%20ride%202013/dac_zps3a0604ff.pngHere comes DAC in a VFR and below Brian show boating on another, am i biased to this bikehttp://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc24/achillezvalentino/Epic%20ohio%20ride%202013/brian_zpsb89ba74e.png Edited June 18, 2014 by NinjaDoc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaDoc Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) hopefully dizzledan has better pictures from before the ride. and here they are Here's some pictures to tide you over while the videos are being edited. Unfortunately I was having problems with the GoPro so if you don't see yourself in here, I'm sorry. We'll start with one of the hottest rides at the meet spot: Need help from all camera guys, requesting for video bits now, i hope all people who carried a gopro would be able to share 1 to 3 min of their footage with me. This is how it can be done easy to make sure of good quality. You edit out good looking 2 to 3 mins of your footage and upload to some free file sharing site (eg http://www.mediafire.com/ ) and once its there send me the link via pm. I am waiting to get as much footage as possible before i can start working on the video. Hopefully i can get it done, schedule going to get crazy busy with work and moving etc Go thru your own footage identify very good parts edit out like 2 to 3 mins of that upload that 2 to 3 min video to free file sharing site (eg http://www.mediafire.com/ ) pm me the link Edited May 17, 2013 by NinjaDoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant always prevent a rider crashing no matter what you try to do in terms of Safety.So many variables when Riding, that simply put, things happen sometimes!I hope the riders that went down are Ok and wish ya'll a speedy recovery man!We choose to ride the Slow-Slow group and stuck with it!We are both capable of Riding Faster, but wanted to have a fun and Safe ride.For multi-reasons.1) We both DIDNT know the roads at all. Didnt know what to expect around each corner, what, when is the next one.2) We both rode 300-350 miles Down just to make it to the meeting spot. No Trailering our bikes down, so no way of "getting home" if we crashed!3) We consider ourselves as "Touring Riders". So we just wanted a nice easy going cruise to enjoy some Real twisties whilst checking out the Ohio scenery! * Though... a Yamaha R1 ISNT a touring bike, nor is my 650 Ninja! We are talking with our fellow Redlinesuperbike members and Michigan Riders about coming down again this Season, at some point before the riding season for 2013 is over...Ride Safe, Ride Tomorrow!Dave Edited May 12, 2013 by Scorpion-Ninja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Z. Heimer Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Thanks Doc for all you put into this. If not for the first we would never have met and I would not have had some really good rides with this group. How you fit 36 hours of work into a 24 hour day is totally beyond my comprehension.

Mr. JellyBean Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Yeah thanks Doc. I am so glad i was able to be apart of this ride. Cant wait for more future rides to come and see you all again. Safe riding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 thanks every one for the compliments. I wish i could have taken more pics of every one there. Biggest regret is not taking a group pic with every one that showed up which would have been massive. Anyways, hope more people would contribute some video clips. Need to figure out when to work on it and edit it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
