crb Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) I wish I could tag along at least for part of the trip I'm not sure I can handle 500 miles yet, but I have a prior obligation. If you guys to go sat due to weather maybe I can tag along. Longest I've done so far is about 80 miles. Not sure my sportster could keep up anyway.

MIKE53ALI Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) Unless you're talking about physical girth, I don't know anyone on the 164 ride we did that that would consider themselves one of the 'big boys'. There are guys that think they're fast, fast guys, then there are faster guys -- and typically, at least in my experience on here, the amount of time people spend bragging about how fast they are is indirectly proportional to their actual ability to ride fast.Uncle Punk, for instance, is a fast guy, but you won't hear it out of his mouth, only those that've ridden with him.The bottom line, for this ride, the 164 ride, and any other ride is RIDE your own RIDE, do it responsibly, and under control. There's nothing worse than riding with someone that dangerously and irresponsibly attempts to 'one up' a guy they think they're faster than, and ends up wrecking their bike, or multiple bikes, and ruins the rest of the day/ride for everyone else that was riding within their limits./end rantI know it's been said before, by many others on here, in many different ways, but I kinda feel after our little 164 incident, that it bears repeating for some of the newer members just getting involved in ORDN group rides. If you thought that was a fast pace, be prepared to not let your ego get in the way on this one. You will be humbled.I didn't mean to sound like I was bragging:eek:. not til I win a medal or trophy or something anyways:D . I'm just now getting used to riding a lil harder on my machine. definately still learning. my bike is too expensive to have to fix. so you better believe I try to be safe:tools:.gonna get my rest and see you all tommorow!

InyaAzz Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Checking the radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Well, it looks like the rain is gonna be heading south. Just my luck. It looks like it will be through Coshocton by 10...BUT the roads are gonna be wet. There wont be enough time and sunlight to dry em up yet.

InyaAzz Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 It would be very difficult to 'delay' this ride...at least for the NEO'ers. It's a 10 hr day and I don't want to ride at night. I guess if we cut the route short to compensate that would work....but the problem, the rain is following us down south, exactly where we need to go. And even if we delay, we have to deal with wet roads, especially where you have trees overhanging the road surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 DAMMIT..I'm gonna call this ride. Maybe a re-do for the morning. Depends on the rest of the familia. I'm head to the Circle K to meet everyone anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojocho Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 This sucks! Nothing worse than riding at a pace in the twisities and go from dry to wet. Odds are that as warm and humid as it will be afternoon t-storms will pop uP as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykill Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) Raining here pretty good as well. Edit. I should be able to do a redo tomorrow. Edited July 2, 2011 by Mykill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent2406 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Well, ain't that just fucking great! But looks like if we just delay it an hour, we'll be good. You guys me have to shorten your ride a little like you were saying though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent2406 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Yeah, I'm out tomorrow as well. I'm heading south today one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks, but I have a feeling it was the right call. I'm 90% sure that I'm out for tomorrow though due to prior plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent2406 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 So does anyone want to salvage something out of this for today? Maybe something a little later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I'm here now. Yeah..i'm thinking of trying something for later. Between 10 and noon start time maybe. Gonna go home and watch the weather. It'll be a much dryer ride in coshocton county. I'll stay here until 8..then head home. We won't be head to SE OHIO today guys.....sorry. But...if the roads get dry in Coshocton we can ride there. I'll need the coshocton guys to chime in on the road conditions in a few hours.

mojocho Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 i'll play the rain-delay for noon by ear. rest of weekend is not good due to mi familia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lammiepie615 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 It's starting to get hot and the roads are drying up. Why is the weather messing with my emotions?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Yeah I noticed the same thing on the way home...sun is coming out HERE...but I'm sure OE Ohio will be different. I'll need someone from the Coshocton crew to plan a route/lead down there since you'll have first hand knowledge of the roads and conditions. I have limited knowledge of all the fun stuff there.I'm going to eyeball a noon restart...with a much shorter route. As far as the Akron/Canton crew goes..this may or may not be worth your time??

mojocho Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) As far as the Akron/Canton crew goes..this may or may not be worth your time??Feel like I'm getting "unfriended" ;-) j/kIt's still raining here in north canton. I think I'm out for the day. Kids want to go to a movie now so I guess I'll do my fatherly duties. Still a win-win for me.Have fun and careful of the slippery conditions.If you guys reschedule for the 4th, I may be able to sneak out.
