2.slow Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Well, I'm out of Marysville, but I've lived here for all of 4 weeks so I have no clue what direction to head for a good time. If there's anything good west of columbus, smccrory and I could ride west to help meet you midway, Earache. If we were to plan on hitting up true off-road trails and such (which I'd like to), I'll need to look into what (if any) registration I need to do to my motorycle to do that. Do you get a permit from the Department of Natural Resources or something? I'm open Memorial Day weekend. I know others may have plans, but it's a 3 day weekend for me. Otherwise, throw out some dates and I can see what fits. Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smccrory Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I'm open most weekends, so yea, throw out some date options. Weather is always a consideration so we shouldn't be too scientific about it ahead of time. With this kind of thing, sometimes it's just best to let folks know ahead of time that a few people plan to show up somewhere, and those who can join in, will.

2.slow Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Agreed. Well, lets hear about the where, then we can pick a when. What are some suggestions for good off roading? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western Ohio doesn't have a lot - prolly need to head southeast of Columbus.I'd just toss the bike in the truck and head over that way.

2.slow Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Are you guys planning on camping for this? One night, two? Etc. I'd like to make it a whole weekend, ride down friday, camp, ride saturday, camp, ride back sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2.slow Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Or conversely, just friday night, ride the trails saturday morning, and ride back saturday afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Are you guys planning on camping for this? I'm not a camper nor do I ever intend on becoming one.Hotel someplace for me most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smccrory Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Are you guys planning on camping for this? Camping is fine by me, though a hotel with a hot shower would be nice after a day of dirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2.slow Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Camping is fine by me, though a hotel with a hot shower would be nice after a day of dirt. I think the hotel will do. Sounds like that's the consensus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alansz400 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I live in Loudonville and ride a WR250R I can show you guys some fun gravel/dirt roads just south of here. If anyone is interested let me know. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone is interested let me know. Alan You're just a 1:15 ride northeast from Westerville, so yea, I'd be delighted to take you up on your offer sometime. Looks like a 1:30 ride from Marysville, 2.slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a 1:30 ride from Marysville, 2.slow. I'd be down. We could meet up north of columbus, and head that way. Maybe in Sunbury. I am open the first two weekends in April...

smccrory Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 OK cool, let's see what alansz400's schedule is like and see if we and the weather can cooperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2.slow Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2.slow Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Earache is out for the second weekend in April, but he's theoretically available for the 5th and 6th. If Earache and alansz400are available, lets look into that. The weather on the 10-day predicts 50 degrees with low chance of precipitation.

alansz400 Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Sundays work better for me. There are a couple guys from ADV rider and I meeting in Danville at 10 this sunday. Sounds like it might be a little cool in the morning. You guys can join in if you want. Meeting at the Lions Den BP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2.slow Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Not a bad excuse! :-) Well, it's a worse excuse when you think about the fact that I'm buying this bike because I'm bored, and want to sell it to a friend to get him into sport touring riding...

I have 5 bikes in my garage right now. I'm keeping 2, one is a friend's I helped acquire, another is a rebuild I did a year ago which I dearly love but want to get another friend back into the sport, and another is one I bought for the purposes of chasing another new rider around while she learns to safely ride a scooter.

That sounds very familiar... I once, sorry twice, bought a Ninja 250 to lend to friends to get them riding. Went on to sell both of those bikes...With this Bandit I'll have my car and 3 bikes in a one stall garage, and a KLR650 back home in Minnesota...

alansz400 Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) WR. Sounds like we might have some snow to play in. Going to try and get my new tires on today. Edited March 29, 2014 by alansz400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2.slow Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I've already picked up the Bandit... but I feel like I should take care of a few things tomorrow. Groceries, dishes, breaking in the Bandit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smccrory Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 The snow makes this beyond my personal risk tolerance, so I'm no-go Sunday unless conditions change more rapidly than predicted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
