prekarious Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Between 22 and I-70. Road had a rough winter, pot holes, ruts, and bumps everywhere. Decent for a relaxing moderate ride, but even without traffic there are much better roads for riding aggressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durk Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Thanks for the heads up. 800 definitely has some rough patches, but I love the section from Fly to 26. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prekarious Posted April 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Took 147 - 149 - 9 - 22 - 800 - 147 today. Just a quick little trip around. That was the only rough patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary#17 Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Is 800 still in bad shape? I haven't been on it in ages but I remember loving the fast sweepers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 I rode 800 from the river to Urichsville on Sunday. It is a mixed bag of good and not so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one good thing about not having a sportbike is that these things just don't matter. I'm impressed with the BMWs ability to handle less than ideal roads.

Uncle Punk Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Sections of 800 wouldn't have been fun on a sportbike, the adventure tourer didn't need to change its pace so the whole roads was just as good as it's always been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschaf Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 We ran the southern part of 800 (Ohio river to Woodsfield) weekend before last & I thought it was pretty sweet. We also ran 255 both directions, & I thought that was pretty sweet too. Of course me & my bike have a high tolerance for the things folks usually complain about so take what I say with a grain of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
