Thanks again for the invite vrodder.

where is the triple nickel? Sorry im very new here.

[jagr]

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.

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.

[g35tonv]

oh i see. I might not be experienced to do that lol i will slow you guys down. Maybe next year when i get more riding time then i will definitely be down to tag along and check it out. i should check that out by myself sometime.

[jagr]

dude i will go with you sometime. i dont like falling down either.

I was on the section south of 78 a few weeks ago and can attest to its freshly paved excellence.

[g35tonv]

oh sweet maybe next weekend as long as the whether is still just as good as today. I just looked on google map i have no idea where it is at lol.

[max power]

west of the Muskingum river and south of Zanesville.

[jagr]

go to Zanesville, look southwest for rt. 555. it should wind along the border all the way to the Ohio river.

[g35tonv]

duh... why did i look at Zanesfield, OH lol. I found it now thanks heh

[jagr]

EDIT: sorry this is 536. not 555

G, this is a good description of 536 ,not 555. i will find the right one.

[g35tonv]

oh nice ok i see it now. we'll have to hit that up for real heh. Man, its nice today.. next week is going to be colder. I think ill have to wait until next year for this.

536 route looks really nice too but looks like it is a pretty far ride.

[vroddave]

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.

[600ZZ4eb]

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.

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...
