SWing'R Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) ...Going up a hill at 100mph NOT knowing whats on the other side KILLED me EVERYTIME !!..I see a sign on the side of the road that a street was comming up on the right side (on the other side of the hill) and ALL kinds of shit went through my head in a split second !! Basically NOT knowing the roads was the killer for me. I've rode thru the area before (Coshocton) and like some of the roads but don't think I will ever be up for a "group" ride in the area. IMHO, you guys simply ride to fast and there is to much room for serious complications, fortunately no one was injured this time, but what about next time? You had two bikes go down yet everyone is calling it a "good ride", pretty sure the two guys that went down aren't calling it that.Sorry but my definiton of a good ride does NOT include phrases like "we only had two riders go down".Thats my 2cents, bash me, call me a pussy or what not but I'll ride within the limits that I feel safe in and if that means not going on a Coshocton ride then so be it. BTW, I could have made this ride, had absolutey no plans, but chose not to because I knew how the ride would be.

KTMRIDER Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) NEWBIE PERSPECTIVE......I am a pretty good dirt rider who just started riding street bikes again... I rode way back in the old days when Vmax's first came out(1984-1986), But haven't really been on a streetbike since then till I got KTM 950 Adventure a couple months ago. This was my second "FAST" ride. I feel I am a decent rider who tries to ride at 80% of my skill level and not much more. For my safety I hope that the extra 20% and a bit of luck will keep my bike shiney. I came with Tod(unclepunk) and chose to tail him. I was able to keep in the top 5-ish riders and usually keep them in sight. I know ALL the guys ahead of me could have left me in the dust if they wanted. I as an ADULT chose to stay in my safety zone and when I was pushing as hard as I felt comfy.... If I saw that crazy SOB on the Ducatti on my tail my left hand went out and waved for him to pass. Same was true for the guy on the Aprillia and also the guy on the Honda with the white jacket. I felt very good to tail the Aprillia and Honda guy. I learned alot about choosing lines in turns. When I felt like I was making mistakes I backed down a bit untill I regained my composure. And then on the second loop I started to think about other things(family being gone and on their way home from TN.) and I decieded that I either needed to focus on riding or head home... I headed home. I had a great time and think the Coshocton crew did a great job of staggering guys along the whole crew to tend to the flock.

I guess they were going "too fast"...It's ridiculous to think just because somebody else is going "too fast" that you have to follow...those rides are all about people going out to ride on some of the best curvy roads Ohio has to offer and having a good time. Whether your good time is over, at or under the speed limit then that's for you to decide...just go have FUN! But don't blame the road, group, group leader, gravel, animals, bike or anything other than yourself when shit goes wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have obviously chosen not to ride with this group and frankly nobody gives a fuck about your banter or the fact that you could've come but didnt. It's not the group that has the problem, its you. You have obviously stated that you don't have the maturity or self control to ride on a ride like this so maybe its better that you not show up to one of these rides. It'll be better for everyone else involved since they won't have to deal with your ass when you inevitably wreck. No one gives a fuck, now shut up and get back in your corner.Adam and the Coshocton group are good guys and there's no need to talk shit about them for things completely out of their control.

yotaman88210 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 GaaaWd! You peoples are bitching like little school girls. Look, we have all crashed a bike, IT HAPPENS.... if you have not crashed a bike, well Im sorry to break it to ya, but its gonna happen. Yea its safer to ride fast like this on a track, but I love a good spirited ride on the street. Ive never been to sheepfuckton, but I sure as hell am plannin on going and I hope the crew will show me around! Looks like it was a great turnout. Sorry to those who went down, but they are safe.

ross Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 i still don't understand why people are blaming the group. was the entire group riding the bike that wrecked or just one person? i'll bet anything that it was just one person so the group had no control over that one person's actions.

And to say the "group" is not responsible for things "completely out of their control" is not exactly a true statement either, the group is responsible for "controlling" things, ie. the pace and danger level of a ride. Responsible riding does not include cresting blind hills and curves @ 100mph.GaaaWd! You peoples are bitching like little school girls. Look, we have all crashed a bike, IT HAPPENS.... if you have not crashed a bike, well Im sorry to break it to ya, but its gonna happen.Why do so many people think you have to crash your bike if you want to call yourself a "rider"?Anyway, as I said earlier, it was my opinion, these are my thoughts on the subject, I'm not gonna post in this thread anymore, I've said what I wanted to so you can continue to bash me if thats the level you want to stoop to, I guess thats what I can expect for being a responsible rider. - SWing'R out Edited July 28, 2009 by SWing'R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nochknstrps Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) I wasn't going to do this but after encourgement from a dear friend (cough, ninjanick, cough) I'm jumping into this special olympic event head first. First, SwingR, I was slightly joking when I told Cheech in his thread that someone should have sent him home when he rode up on his katana. Rides in coshocton aren't gingerly strolls on one's scooter, I don't care what CC it is, you would have been left behind. Whoops, my bad you ride a real motocycle now, none the less. You saved yourself from being humilated (however childish it may be) and getting lost in the middle of coshocton. The truth is a cold hearted bitch and the truth of the matter is, you didn't belong on that ride in the first place.Now for the fact of the matter, Adam clearly stated this in his orginal post for the ride (poor kid's parents never invested in hooked on phonics so excuse the broken english) plan on a fast pace, but i make sure to keep everyone together and give all ppl a good heads up about corners and gravel areasThat right there is a clear statement of the kind of ride it was going to be, if you weren't ready for that you should have stayed home, so anyone bitching about it being too fast of a ride well, fuck off. I know most of you coshocton guys want to try and save face here by saying all is welcome but really Coshocton isn't for everyone. Its very technical and hazardous. Sure one could learn a great deal by riding with better people but, a place like coshocton is not the place to learn. Am I going to preach about going to the track no, but before riding in place like coshocton you need to be fimilar with all aspects of riding, from fast and cautious to emergency tactics. And you don't do this sort of thing in a large group ride or on unfimilar roads.Parks, Ron, Ross and the gang aside from this 1000rrRider guy, (don't know you, you seem like a turd already) are great guys and they know their roads better than most know thier daily commute. I suggest when going out to ride with them, expect it to be quick in terms of pace, be ready for a great time and just have your shit together.Before you say I don't know what I'm talking about, look at mclovin, this kid shreds. On fukkin R6S at that. Took him under my wing about two and a half seasons ago, when he was still dumping his bike in the parking lot. Look at 'im now. Brings a tear to my eye. Cue the soft music :violin:and fade to black. El Fine Edited July 28, 2009 by nochknstrps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
