jagr Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 its also called the "Vas deferens of the dragon". people like to compare it to the "tail of the dragon", its not like it at all. but it is a fun road to ride. lots of twisties, blind corners, gravel,amish and horseshit on the road. i like it at least.for those who dont know what a vas deferens is here you go:The vas deferens (plural: vasa deferentia), also called ductus deferens, (Latin: "carrying-away vessel") is part of the male anatomy of some species; they transport sperm from the epididymis in anticipation of ejaculation.

ReconRat Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 555 is a state route that runs from Zanesville to the South, all the way to the river. It's twisty, a bit rough in some parts just South of Zanesville, particularly South-bound. It's basically one of the earliest roads in Ohio. I call it a paved wagon trail, but it's a lot of fun to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 I was on the section south of 78 a few weeks ago and can attest to its freshly paved excellence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vroddave Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 dude you have to go outside of 270 to get good experience. live alittle. even the princess has ventured thru the nickle. a lil teary eyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
600ZZ4eb Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 That rode looks sweet! I'd like to do 555 and this 536. Looks like it it would take 2 hour and 41 min from my door to 536 off 78. Will have to make a day trip in the long hours of the summer starting out really early to make it, but probably worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMax33 Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Kosmo and I went out to 536 awhile back and had a little fun. Don't expect to hit triple digits on that road but it was pretty clean when we were on it. Most of the corners have a 20mph recommended speed. The scenery was really something though and if you catch Rt.800 back up, you will be grinning quite a bit. Now that's all I think about when the motorcycle thoughts race through my head. I won't even ride now unless I can hit some curves... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
