DSharek Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 I’m a newer rider on a 2007 Honda 919. I’m looking for more people to ride with. I am open to travel all over Ohio and surrounding states for bigger rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSharek Posted July 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 I rode up to the peak of Spruce Knob, WV yesterday and back home. 649 miles total. The WV 47 road and route up Spruce Knob had amazing 15 - 30 MPH marked curves with almost zero road debris or issues with the pavement in the turns. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RymerC Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 Welcome to the site, and the area. That's a long haul in one day, glad the roads were clean and fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it ain't too much trouble, I would love to know the whole route you took. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the Scenic app on Apple phones To generate the route avoiding highways on the way down with a quick detour on OH 555 in Zanesville on the way out. The route back allowed highways, but included the best roads I encountered in WV getting back to larger roads.

Connie14 Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 There is some good riding in SEOhio & WV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSharek Posted July 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 I agree. I just picked up a 2010 Honda VFR 1200F as a second bike. I’ll have to try the SE Ohio and WV roads with that bike. Much more sporty position and about 65 more hp than my 2007 Honda 919. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSharek Posted July 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 I don’t recommend driving through Chicago at any time. 98 degree weather is especially bad. The information is from the scenic app. Anything over the speed limit must be a glitch. Notice the extremely slow speeds for my entire trip through Chicago. I probably stopped completely 50 times.

Pauly Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Always take the long way around Chicago. It is worth it, unless you know the super-secret back way through downtown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RymerC Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 yeah going anywhere near chicago is always a 100% shitshow. bumper to bumper at 90mph then slam on the brakes and come to a full stop for 30 seconds and repeat. hate that drive every time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
