bowdog Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Cool video, great to see that you are prepared for that sort of riding especially alone. I was sitting at my computer thinking "how the hell is he going to get out alone" and then comes the ropes! Also were the guys that helped just passing bye?

The ADV Ohio Columbus Gent's Have a (TOT) Trans-Ohio-Trail gps route You could jump on at East Liverpool and ride for day's. It is a mix of gravel, back roads with some chalgen sections thrown in for a skills test. like the creek I was stuck in. The owner of the route is (Swingset) on ADV: http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/adventure-in-ohio.28732/ PM him a msg and ask for the TOT GPX Route. I think he is on here if you can find the old Adventure thread. Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have ridden with Derek twice. We just finished a ride yesterday in the Tar Hollow area. It's always a good time with lot's of laughs.

The Two Gentlemen that stopped by to help were the Malta Township road crew members. That BIG man picked up the front and set it aside like a case of beer. Saved me about 2hours of slow winch-en. Good people from Malta. Edited March 15, 2017 by B-Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been running Mitas Dakar Tires since purchasing this V2 in July 2015 Mitas tires, (Dakar) sidewall E-07: 50% Street/50% Dirt tire E-10: 40/60 E-09: 20/80 Harder Compound . My Standard set-up is the Mitas E-07 Dakar tire that work great on all surfaces and weather. During winter and spring I go with the E-010. Now I am trying the E-09 on the rear for spring riding plus I have some off road trips planed in CO.& UT this year. The E-07 did fine on the Kentucky Adventure Trail (KAT) The Dakar has a very stiff sidewall that helps with my cast wheels and lower air pressures during some off-road works. Check them out, YMMV B. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I'm still pretty much stuck to the street with my big GSA, with some mild gravel on occasion. BUT, I just picked up a WR250R for playing in the dirt!

BUT, I just picked up a WR250R for playing in the dirt! My 2004 DL1000 was used 95% fast street and sport touring with the occasional gravel to get to a specific location off road like a lake, camping or event. I found the Metzlar Tourance tires were the best all-around for me. Very predictable when pushed. I think all tires of today are much better than what I road on back-in-the-day. The WR250 is a great bike with a large following and many aftermarket parts to fit your needs. I had a WR450 set up for desert riding that I brought from AZ. when I moved here in 2010. Sold it for a Z1000. It's all GOOD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCMathis Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Very nice video! I would really like to get out on some of those routes. I will need to get some more aggressive tires before I can do some of that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
