bowdog Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Trails are perfect right now...Only issue over the weekend was dust. I would recommend a good pair of goggles if you are not the lead rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do pass people out on the trails and run up on people that are creating enormous dust clouds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Mac Posted April 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Thanks for the info Mud Monsters. I figured it would dry out fast with the lack of canopy cover this time if year. The wife and I road down to Pomeroy, Ohio for lunch at a cool place: (Court Street Cafe/Blues Bar). Everything is greening up fast. Hope to have photo's and Video of the Pig's on the Wayne trail this week. B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Mac Posted April 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Trade the Daytona in on a Tiger. You are old enough to ride a Adventure Bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold the Vee to get the Daytona. A Tiger may happen eventually, or another Vee/Wee. Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a great time. A little dusty for the rear rider but only saw two dirt bikes and one ATV all day. Broke one foot peg, Replaced on the trail- 5min. A few low speed tip overs but the trails were the smoothest they will be all season. Did a drive by on the OR trailers looked all secure at the campground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop in and have a cold one with us sometime, mine is the one at the very top of the hill and MaxPower is right below me in the Tilton Hilton. May be there this weekend depending on what work i can get done on my flip house during this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADV Camp and Ride is going to be a wet and soggy so I think I will (CXL) and just stay local and do a Saturday ADV loop route around the Hocking Hills area. The gravel roads will be dust free and great for power sliding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKVersys Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 When is your next ride? I'm new to ADV riding but I could bring a couple of guys out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Mac Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 This Friday, May 6th. Looks good for a ADV Type gravel/chip seal and curvy up and down back road ride. The rain will be gone and dust should be minimal. I have a few routes that might be fun. Would the Gas station just north of Breman, Ohio at 664 and 37 be a good spot. Or Sunoco Gas station on Clear Creek road (116) and SR33 just north of Rockbridge, OH. I am free for this day. What tires are you running on your Versys? I think that Dunlop Sportmax and 17inch rims were stock on that model and they might be a little unstable on some gravel roads but that is your ride. Note: The Wayne Trail will be slippery as ice in spots so that's a no-go for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKVersys Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I just got some Shinko 705's but thats the problem. The rims were put back on the bike backwards causing a lot of damage that is being repaired as we speak. If its done I'm definitely a go, they are waiting on some parts that are on back order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
