what Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Home with the trailer safely in the garage. @Danimal's tire has taken up residence in the back seat of my car and refuses to move until it's at deal's gap. Good riding with @durk @B-Mac today. I'm just happy I can now keep up with @jschaf... I think I found the Triumph's limit today pace-wise though. I was WOT in 3rd and a few times in 4th for a good portion of the ride. Also... that jump... lol. Wish I had my GoPro running for that one... Jim, you were completely airborn, so much so that I was looking at the next turn under your tires. It felt like I left the ground; whoever was behind me would have to confirm. I'd venture a guess we all grew wings on that "bump". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Home. Almost 500 miles logged. Had fun as usual. Good weather, didn't get a drop of rain other than the morning mist/fog that beaded up our visors on the way to McConnellsville. Always good to see the regulars again, catchup with a few I hadn't seen for a while, and met a few new guys. Weather didn't play spoiler today, so I'm glad the wife and I decided to roll the dice and go. See those of you going to the Gap in a few weeks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure this "bump" is it. We hit it at pretty close to mach retard, which is probably what made it so dramatic. If I remember right, it's a little roller with a dip on the other side that you wouldn't notice at the posted speed; It's hard to make out on google. Could be wrong, never done that road before. It launched us pretty good though. Fun fun. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.4564761,-81.7013334,3a,75y,88.92h,98.33t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sOpmTJmuh2QJ2WbAwL7DuYw!2e0!7i3328!8i1664 Edited May 21, 2017 by what 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Made it home safe too, hopefully every one did. It was so nice to see every one. And each year get to meet few new faces, and by next couple of years we become old riding friends. My friendship circle is growing more detailed ride report once I get some food and rest. So much stuff happened in the last 24 hrs, that pretty much proves when it comes to motorcycling just trust your bike, your instincts your luck and take that leap of faith and the end of the day you get to kick back and enjoy for years some sweet memories. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snot Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) Back in the kitchen by 8PM... Had a great time and I was glad to see so many came out to ride. Any idea how many showed? I know the mach retard group left when we rolled in. Our group had a total of 9 different riders (counting Doc), one jumped in then out during the ride. Guessing it was 24 total...

Casper Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Twenty-something sounds about right. Not bad for a cancelled event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 I blame cunning old fox tonic for posting a cancelled thread and then locking it, very effective hate move on noob folks. I am guessing at least a handful of folks got duped. Jshaff is all about riding, no ifs no buts no time waste. Their group was already out even before we pulled in. And we were loitering until tonic got the reins pulled in. We didn't take a group pic if I was not this shy and blessed with the sound of a real man I would have called all the super heros to assemble for a photo shoot. At at the end the rough guesstimate will be 22 ish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaDoc Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) I was with them, prolly camera running at that time and I want to apologize to the groups, I was filtering in out, making sudden stops pull over etc, I never ever do it in real ride. This was all for the sake to get some video different views and riders etc. Edited May 21, 2017 by NinjaDoc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 I just realized I didn't take a single picture during the ride. Damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
