We're NOT dysfunctional in that regard. We all wheelie now & then, and/or sometimes get into a curve too hot. We wouldn't be riding these kinds of bikes if we didn't like to hit it once in awhile. What we don't need or want, is anyone who's gonna stunt in the group/ride over their head trying to show off.....Thereby endangering the safety of the public, &/or our pack, &/or drawing unwanted/unnecessary LEO attention to all of us. If you can't understand the difference between the two....Then we're probably not the group for you Furthermore....If the group feels you're crossin' any of these lines when you're out with us....Don't be surprised or offended if/when we ask you to ride somewhere elseLike I always say when we're planning a ride......As long as everyone has fun, & returns home in the same shape they left.......I call it a good day Edited June 3, 2010 by Fonzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's stay here. http://www.moonrisehotel.com/Looked sweet when I was there last week, didn't get to go in though, but it is a little pricey. Ride there is pretty damn boring though.

magley64 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Ride there is pretty damn boring though. tend to agree, if we took a more interesting route, the 1 way time would greatly increase.not that I'm complaining about ride time, I can handle anything up to 30 hours one way at a time if properly motivated.

Fonzie Posted March 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Ride there is pretty damn boring though. Yeah....

Fonzie Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 So I only have to keep track of one open thread, where details are consolidatedDTC board is public, so anyone can read/reply if they want to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonzie Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 There's a link to Mark's route in the OP, then I also cut/pasted it in post #69......Here's the basic route Mark uses for this trip, as stated in the first post of his thread I linked to on here. Not to say we won't tweak it for us, but I know some of you are wondering.....basic overview is OH RT 800 to the river ( maybe we can take 536 down when we got to Woodsfield though) then take the ferry boat over to WV. From this point we ride along the river till reaching WV 16, from here it's S down to 60 and I think everyone can agree that this is a Hella fun road. Ride over to the bridge and take the old road down into the gorge then return home on the same route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can compare me to VoldemortHere are some of the "Final" details as I know them from doin' this the last 4 years.....We are goin' ridin' on Saturday, June 12Destination is New River Gorge Bridge, in West Virginia (weather permitting)Many of your favorite miscreants on here are goingI'm leaving my house at 8:00We WILL have LOTS of laughs throughout the dayWe'll stop ~ every 150 miles for fuel & so Sam can burn his cancer sticksWe will, more than likely, become temporarily directionally challenged several times throughout the dayDo NOT anger the Picture Nazi.... Smile & willingly do as he tells youWe DID bring home "speed limit suggestion" souvenirs last year from New York's finest. No.... We did not "run from the choppa"I don't think any of us drag kneeWe WILL stop for a fine local meal somewhere around halfway. Tall tales, camaraderie & laughs will ensue. If Nick were going, you'd probably spend the whole meal hearing his kinky, fetish storiesI hope to find a banjo player, & fully intend to have my picture taken with him/her, probably while doing my very best Ned Beatty imitationI do not "change color" if we get off schedule once we're all together. I'm here to relax with friends on my birthday.... Not punch a timeclockIt WILL be a late night for those of us up north. I got home at 6:00am last year....
