Disclaimer Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I'm debating on whether this would be better than the AMA event. I don't have tix to the race, so it's not like I'll be tailgating or anything.Fonz - do you have some type of itinerary / meet up spots? I know you said it'd probably be the evening when you guys would return, but you have anything a little more concrete? I'm just trying to figure out if I crash your guys' trip, what the start/return time would be and whether I would be better off heading back home to Elyria, or hanging around in Mansfield?

Unk Greg Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Fonzie; Since I missed yer crew's outing the last time and learning that it breezed by my haunts; I'm up for a cross country on my collector's item. I really hate putting all them miles on the museum piece, but it'd be nice to actually try it out on a road. If ya got room for a newbie, I can hook up in Mansfield. Just PM me with details re: So far no word on Saturday, Aug. 2nd fer work at my end. They wait until the last possible moment to spring it on you. I am planning on the outing. I'll follow along at back and be slower than most I'm sure. Just clue me in as to where yer stops are and I tortoise on in. Gas stops? I only seem to get around a hunnert miles to a tank full. Maybe it's running rich?From-out-of-the-woods,gregPS Last time I ate at Warehouse, it was basement time too. The basement is way better than upstairs with the linen table cloths.

Fonzie Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Hey Greg......Welcome aboard over here! I'm gettin' to be the Pied Piper of the XX board! 100 miles a tank.....Are you kiddin' me?!? Even I get 150, and mine's been re-jetted by the PO & definitely runs rich!Don't worry about not keepin' up/fallin' behind. We like to have our fun, but we're like the Marines....Nobody gets left behind! Here's those links I mentioned.........http://www.ohio-riders.net/showthread.php?t=14205&highlight=pitt+daytripHere's the ride report, but I think you already saw it..........http://www.ohio-riders.net/showthread.php?t=14727&highlight=pitt+daytrip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unk Greg Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Directions printing as we speak, er, write. I'll shred them so no unauthorized can read them. Just learned today that air patrol in area. Ticketing for following too close (how do you determine that from an aircraft?). How bad is the tax situation? Citations, a random tax. Jeez. Guess may invest in a scanner. Or, at least some white paint and a nite or two to add white lines on the shoulder at various intervals to mess up their stopwatch timing. Hah!Ain't never really figured mileage. Just had 659 miles on odo and five or six tankfuls, just ain't remembering. Ran to Mansfield and back and two bars showing on gauge after leaving with full tank. I do tend to run a lower gear...especially on the backroads we have here. Our main highway is the one your last trip was on! What twenty feet wide? Have been trying the different roads available locally. Decided that the ones with the tar strips for patching are going to be avoided for any leaning. I've been wide eyed twice now. Cornering confidence builds and I lean a bit and the bike moves over two feet (well feels like it). Four wheel drifts I know about, two wheel drifts are a bit much right now!Okay scanned directions/instructions. No mention of time to meet at Mansfield junction. I'll look for the background sign (for the automall) and sit there. Or should I just stalk the highway? Lay in wait at an exit in between points. Nah, I'll just hook up at prearranged spot(s). Send me a time, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dweezel Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 well I'm out. The kids have been askin to go camping before they go back to school and this weekend is all we could do that didn't have major plans we'd be messing up. Hopefully we could do another group ride before the snow flies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitzburgh Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Not sure if I can make it or not. Family is planning on having a "DAY" on Saturday. Which means I will have to ride over to Newark and make a presence, use my bike like the "Horse ride at the fair" for 10+ kids, then have them argue over how long I will live riding the "Devil" as my Grandma puts it..
