SWing'R Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) Well...I was going to ask if anyone minded an OR newb showing up...until I saw how far this place is from Ravenna.You gotta keep an eye on "where" the threads are posted, this one is in CENTRAL, your area would be NorthEast,not that you wouldn't be welcome if you wanted to make the trip. Lots of the NEO guys come down this waysince we have all the good roads down here Edited July 10, 2010 by SWing'R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drc32-0 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Anyone mind if a new guy tags along?I'm in Zanesville so the meeting place is just down the road.You can get around the 555 closure by going...22 to 93 to 669 and pick up 555 in Deavertown,or better yet 22 to 93 to Athens Rd on the southend of Roseville...also picks up 555 at Deavertown.The bridge is open on SR255,I was over there thursday,but watch out for fine gravel in the curves due to ODOT lining the roads.

MidgetTodd Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 let's just meet in zanesville.about how long do you suppose our route will be?As long or short as you want it Jinu, I'm not stuck to a route and I lack the military precision of my black counterpart. We'll adjust as needed.Anyone mind if a new guy tags along?I'm in Zanesville so the meeting place is just down the road.You can get around the 555 closure by going...22 to 93 to 669 and pick up 555 in Deavertown,or better yet 22 to 93 to Athens Rd on the southend of Roseville...also picks up 555 at Deavertown.The bridge is open on SR255,I was over there thursday,but watch out for fine gravel in the curves due to ODOT lining the roads. Thats a long way around to catch a short section of that road, if anything I'd just run 60 into Philo area and catch the bridge there. We can all decide that as a group tomarrow. As to your joining in question, sure no prob just know what you're getting into. We run a "spirited" pace and will prolly not spend alot of time at the posted speed limit or sight seeing.

jporter12 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 We run a "spirited" pace and will prolly not spend alot of time at the posted speed limit or sight seeing.Meaning that Todd takes it really slow and concentrate heavily on every inch of the road. I don't think Todd will mind seeing this repeated, ride your own ride, at your own pace. They will wait for you to catch up. I know they will wait, I ride a 250, and have never been left behind!

I was just going to run 70 from here to there also.214 UNDERWOOD STREETZANESVILLE, OH 43701(740) 452-7076rt 60 exit off 70E. it's been posted many times. we're ROLLING OUT by 10am guys, get there earlier than that if possible. if you KNOW you're going to be late, post up so we can ridicule and ultimately, wait for you.for everyone, i'm not leading this ride, but here are some suggestions:as has been posted, there will be a range of riding from "spirited" to "newb" pace. if you wanna go fast, go right ahead. if you want to go slow, by all means. if you're going fast and you don't want to wait, no problem: just let us know what route you plan on taking and vice versa if you're going slow and want to split off. do NOT break off without letting the group know cause we will search along the road for you, wondering if you fell off a cliff into a big patch of thorn bushes.do NOT try to play a game of keep up with the guy in front of you, you'll just look ghey for trying to get a glimpse of his ass. do NOT asspack the guy in front of you, unless you know he's really interested and is into you... if he is slowing you down, get past him at the next stop, or straight section or corner if you're in a big fucking hurry. keep in mind, we are not racing: you will not win anything. nobody cares how fast someone can go on the street other than as a reference. if you like to ride fast with your friend, go ahead... JUST DON'T RIDE IN OVER YOUR HEAD.gear: you can do what you want, but i'd highly recommend being in helmet, jacket, jeans, gloves, and ankle high boots at minimum. wear leathers if you want.look for a purple/grey ninja 500 and beat to shit yellow 600rr.get there early so we can roll out by 10AMsee you guys there!

MidgetTodd Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Good time, hot but fun. Glad I'm home in the AC. The best part about planning the route is I get to end it down the road from my house so I'm first home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harb67 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Great ride guys Todd, great leading/route as always! Was nice to see some new roads and new faces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted July 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 it was an awesome-0 time. the duckling did great, and he followed me right into the jaws of 536 because i'm a numbnuts and just pull into the first sign for any road without following the arranged route. on the other hand, 536 was in the best shape it's been in a long time (at least, for me). the only weird part was there are "road closed" signs and the tar strips are VERY slick, at least for my bt016's and/or my vajayjay. but amazingly, no gravel or anything.todd and garrett, sorry i made you wait around for us. if it's any consolation, 255 was pretty shitty. todd, thanks for leading. nice to meet you all!

MidgetTodd Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 todd and garrett, sorry i made you wait around for us. No prob waiting, I would'nt want you curb stomping my puppy because we didn't come back and look for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopLeft Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Great ride!I'm wondering about 2 things:Did that rider w/o helmet get his "posed" video shot from his friend atop the hill as we passed?Dave, did you have to toss out your underwear or is the Mrs. able to clean out the "Oh-shit" streak?!?!
