SWing'R Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) Rode 800 today from the bottom @ SR-7 up to 70. The road conditions from 7 all the way up to Woodsfield were terrible! They attempted spot patching and did a shitty job. The road surface is rough and uneven all over the place.Once you get North of Woodsfield the road was perfect except for some gravel in a few corners.

SpeedTriple44444 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Somebody told me once that 800 was the best motorcycle road in Ohio. I rode it from Uhrichsville to the WV line, and I don't know what the big deal is, honestly. It's just another country road, and now just another screwed up country road. I think the best stretch is just north of 70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Rode it once. Liked the sweepers..but didn't think it was the best thing out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschaf Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Next time you go that way take 255 from the river to Woodsfield. You won't be disappointed. We rode 255 both ways this past Sunday, then took 800 to 70 so we could drone home because it was getting late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMax33 Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 That's too bad since the last time I was on that part of 800, I was pretty impressed with the sweepers. Thanks for the heads up because I was thinking of going down that way the next time I have a decent Saturday. 255 and 260 are in that area so I guess I'll just stick to those...

Tpoppa Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 The section north of 70 is really good. Better if you're rding northbound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMax33 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Damn, so where are all of the roads worth riding to? 800 used to be great with the exception of the fuck-wits who don't know how to stay in their lane in a sharp curve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbot Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 i'm hoping the patching won't be bad once it settles in. it was pretty fresh when we rode it, and it made the bike squirm a little here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
