oldschoolsdime92 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) im jealous! That ferry looks like a blast! Edited October 18, 2009 by oldschoolsdime92 spelling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer Posted October 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 It's a fairly quick ride. Cost $2.00 a piece, saves a bunch of time going across the bridge at Ripley. I dunno on the next one. I'm gettin' windows in the house next weekend. The following weekend, leaving for Az. for a week. Might be it for me for awhile unless I take a half day off work.

oldschoolsdime92 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Let me know man. I only have a few people that enjoy long rides to ride with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 O.K. I'm checking out this Buell insanity right now. I been contemplating buying a new ( to me ) bike, most of my friends are switching to the big twin Harleys. Never owned one but have rode several hundred miles on a couple different Harleys. But, I really wanted a new FJ1300, I love that bike. But the prices on these Buells are great, I'm looking. How much lead time do you need for a vaca. day from work?

stargazer Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 The ferry runs back and forth between Augusta, Ky. and US52, about 2 miles west of higginsport, roughly mp6? Started in Wilmington, met Dan in Danville ( no kidding), out SR138 from Hillsboro, to Buford, SR134 south, SR32east, US62 south, to Ripley. US52 west, ferryride to Augusta. RT.19, a little of 10, US27 to Cythinana, backtrack to the ferry. SR125 west to SR774 in Hamersville. US68north, cut across a County RD. back to Buford, 134 to the house. 246.5 miles.

NinjaNick Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Oh man, that sounds like a fun day. I need to do that route sometime looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Let me know. I told you I got some good roads in the southern part of the State. Although I don't know my way around KY. too well. I'm thinkin' about starting in Alexandria, running 10/22 back up the river to Greenup, Ky. then running 253 back to US52 to SR125. That's probably a 300+ miler.The wife and i rode the Busa on a 425 mile route last summer in Ohio. She deserved a medal for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stargazer Posted October 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Not sure on the meeting place, depends on where we ride. Xenia is an option since you live a ways away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
