After my last one day trip from murder city to ohio i was thinking i will never again do this madness, and as my mind was made up for sure.....and... i am planning to do the epic crazy  one day ride again.

 

Nothing set in stone yet, this is just a feeler to see if any of you guys be around that day.

 

I am planning to ask if any michigan riders will join me (unlikely because they have sane heads)

 

First : Just to make it easier for them i am planning to start late from Detroit around 6:30-7 AM kick start unlike an early 5 start. This means i will be able to make it to millersburg only by 11 to 11:30 at best.

 

Second: The loop will be simple and small like 100 - 150 mile and not planning to go all the way to marietta like last time. Route based on if any one joins me from the big D. Would like to take them down 83 and 78 to show them roads, if not might ride around coschocton, will just see, anyways will be on fun roads.

 

Third: ride to be wrapped up by 3: 00-4 :00 pm around coshocton and i will start to head back to reach home before sunset.

 

 

More details i will post around thursday if its finalized, just keep this post in the back of the mind and if you got time do come out and say hi and ride around with the knuckle head from knuckle city. :D

 

 

One more help, this is the route i am planning to take down, if any of you know one of these roads are under construction please let me know. ( littlecarbbigsmiles..where are you :p) Last time i wasted so much time by getting re routed around.

The bigger question is why--once you have left Detroit--would you consider going back?

Ok, ok, my bad.  D is a fine city going thru an extended spell of poor management and fiscal decisions, but still….

Nivin,

 

You're more than welcome to stay at my house if needed on the way down, or back. I'm 2 hours from DET.

 

Thats awesome, very kind of you to invite me. I might take you up on that one of these days when i am too dead beat to do these mega miles and also i have to become less socially awkward :D

1n 1962 Detroit had the highest per capita income in the US.  Since 1962 property values have been dropping, and population has been shrinking.  The city has refused for decades to make tough decisions to cut budgets and reduce city staff to match the decrese in income and property tax revenue.  This is party due to strong union influence. They have been effectively kicking the can down the road, until well you know the rest.

 

Also, 1962 was the last time that Detroit had a Republican Mayor.  Just sayin.

I think I'm free that day... I'd be able to meet up with you on the ride down, somewhere between Mansfield and Ashland.  

 

This'll be just like the LAST epic ride I attended, where I'd just gotten the OTHER yzf600, and the bike will still be too "new" to me to be very fast... I'll be taking it slow and easy in the back, but I'd still love to come if things work out.

Since i beeen riding with you i get a feeling your more likely into long distance fun riding than short burst sporting, thus i recommend VFR and this one is a very good deal. http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/classifieds/item/2994-2007-vfr-abs/

 

 
2007 VFR800 ABS with 14,000 miles. Bike has a ton of aftermarket goodies, including the following:

DMr front and rear suspension (I also have Race Tech Gold Valves & shims for the front & rear spring)
Staintune Exhaust (and OEM)
8 spoke rear wheel
Sargent Seat
MC Cruise Control - real cruise, not a throttle lock!
Mounted Zumo 550 GPS
Escort 8500X radar detector
Acumen gear indicator
Autocom Super Pro AVi kit
HotGrips Ergo-2 heated Grips
PIAA horn
Givi Micro-2 (26L) top case
OEM hard cases
DID X-Ring chain
Factory Pro EVO-H91 shift kit
MRA Vario touring screen
MRA Vario adjustable footpegs (OEM as well)
Rear wheel hugger (not mounted)
Complete maintenance records.

 

 

 

that extras itself can fetch you over 4K if sold separately. beautiful red and ABS also, if that guy weighs around your weight its perfect as the suspension is also done.

its okay josh, i prefer no one commits that way if something unexpected happens i can bail too, or go different route. So if any one out and around riding already wants to meet can meet at millersburg. Dont plan this as a ride
