RHill Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Figured I'd say "Hi" since I've been checking out the forum for the last few days. I'm new to Ohio, but not new to riding. Picked up a 2001 GSXR 600 around 05, first motorcycle I ever sat on. Recently picked up another 600, this time an 05 GSXR. Found the site while looking for some twisty roads around the Cleveland area. Looks like it will be a bit of a commute to get to any fun roads. I guess I was spoiled living in central Pa.I'm planning on doing a couple track days this summer; trying to figure out all the details at this point. Probably heading over to Iron Pony tomorrow to see if I can find a suit. Would have preferred to ride down, but who knows what all I may want to pick up while there -Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary#17 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Hello! Yup, you do need to ride a bit to get to any nice roads if you live up north. There are some down south around Millersburg/Coschocton area and also in around the Bath/Fairlawn area. If my husband and I only have few hours, we go to Bath. If we have 5 hours we'll usually go down to Coschocton. Welcome!Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHill Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Hi everyone! where are you doing trackdays at? Make sure you check out motoseries.Considering Nelson Ledges, Beaver Run, and Mid Ohio at the moment. I'm thinking a couple between those two, then maybe a road trip to something further away if the funds are available. I'm trying to get the guys I work with interested as well, but a few have newer bikes and are really worried about laying them down. I've got my 01 in pieces right now, was thinking of building a track bike out of it, but for the cost of parts+a new frame(tucked & cracked neck) I think I'd be better off buying one. Welcome. What part of Cleveland?Middlburg Hts. The best twisties I've found around are on/off ramps lolWent through the metroparks once on my 01....saw two cops/rangers right off the bat, so I pulled on the choke, clicked into sixth and didnt even use the throttle the rest of the way.Anyway, off to Iron Pony, hopefully I can at least figure out some suit sizing while I'm there.

Mary#17 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I work in Middleburg Hts. The valley has nice turns but way too many cops and too much traffic. As you go further southeast, it gets a little better but not by much.If you can ever make it to Putnam Park in Indiana, you won't be sorry. Great track. Beaver is super tight (and short). Mid-Ohio is nice. The back straight is long. VIR is also a blast but probably a good 9 hour drive. Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Ryan, you're right around the corner from a few of us. Bum a ride out to Nelson for the April round, and just talk to people at the track. Or stop by when/if the "fix your bodywork in my garage" party happens this weekend. a bunch of us are prepping for this season, and we jump at the opportunity to talk about riding pretty much any time we're off the bike...

cornbreadxd Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I like riding through the metropark in Brecksville, but living on the east side of Cleveland the closest place for me is Euclid but it's not as fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
