danballa Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 So you are going to be able to make it afterall? I thought you had a graduation to go to. Assuming its not raining, I am going to be there. I'll probably be hanging out in the back of the pack again. It keeps me out of trouble that way lol.

It keeps me out of trouble that way lol.Yeah, unfortunately my mom's graduation plans got cancelled so that freed me up. I'm sure i'll be in the back as well with the Katana....i learned on this bike, but haven't really riden it in the twistes....although its a good touring bike. Besides it's my girls and i really dont want to bring it home in any other fashion then the way i leave on it. :-) i'd never hear the end of it......

After lunch we are going pretty good and haven't stop much.....however the other two ride where at least 120 shorter than this one so, i'm not sure what the plan is to taking breaks. Probably will be worked out Saturday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can PM my cell number to someone so they can let me know if you guys are running late, running early, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harb67 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 The weather looks beautiful for Saturday...I can't wait for this ride. School just ended and I'm already bored to tears...and its only day one of summer lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessPratt Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Sounds like you need to buy another lid.. from a local dealer. If your head hurts after a couple hours the helmet is not for you. (wearing ear plugs could help if it were a 'regular' headache. Maybe give that a shot)??I actually LOVE the helmet if I don't have it on very long. It keeps the sound down and is very light. I don't know if I cold trade out the padding??? anyhoo, how long is this 300 miles suppose to take? What time are you all meeting? I didn't see a time. I saw Brian777 at quaker steak last night and invited him along. Lets see if he comes??!!! I'm sure he'll be up front tho with his 1098 and I'll be the last one again on my bike. How slow do people ride in the second group? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How slow do people ride in the second group?Well, to be honest i think we'll be gone all day we leave at 9:30 sharp from Calvery Chapel (addy below) and i dont expect us back until early evening or so.....300 miles at posted speed limit with all the back roads and stuff would be around 8 or 9 hours total, but that doesnt include stops. Its just hard to gauge, i'm sorry. As far as the slow group, this will be the first time this we'll do this so i'm not sure....i don't want to discourage you from coming, but i don't want to mislead you either. I'll try to confirm the two group situation today.6075 E Livingston AveColumbus, OH 43232 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my first post is the route, as it stands today, we are taking to get out to 536. Sorry man, looks like unless you come to columbus in the morning we wont be able to ride together on this one.....

QuikZX9R Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Can whoever knows for sure give a quick rundown of what towns you are going through on the way to 536? I can be in Zanesville pretty quick and I got a cell so I'd like to meet up with you guys. I am not far from coshocton so maybe I could meet the coshocton guys and get a big group meeting up in zanesville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
