Pfloydgad Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 OK.....here it is.I did this a number of years ago, and it was very unique. I am proposing an early morning ride, say 5am start, a stop halfway for breakfast, watch the sun come up, and best of all, cooler temps and virtually no traffic. I will be at McDonalds in Dublin @ 33 and 270 @ 5am. We can hook-up and go N or S and do the loop, then turn around and do it from the other direction if desired. Again, cooler temps, no traffic, just bikes and riding. Any takers, add here, or just be at McD's. Ride safe all,Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pfloydgad Posted July 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Just meeting at McD's, not eating. You only need to think outside the box a little for this one.Yes it is early, but another way of looking at this is that you can get some good riding in early, have a good breakfast at sunrise, and be back in the sack sleeping or banging boots before 10am. Either way, you are still riding. Ride safe all.Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 I will still be hung-over, 270 sucks, and I hate even being near a McDonalds. You just love to ride my friend, but 270 or anything near Cbus needs to be avoided like the plague. You will get some good riding in at the Rally, although I will be leading an off-road group on my WR. And you actually said "good riding"?

Pfloydgad Posted July 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Hey B,It is just to get some miles in, the heat and the wifes back surgery has slowed my riding down some. But when I took her over for the surgery we were on 270 accross the top at 5am, and it was like another world, no cars, the lights put spots on the road, just a unique look and feel. Am I am very ready for the Labor Day ride.Ride safe, whenever you ride,Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pfloydgad Posted July 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 WELL......................................I got out to the bike, got her fired up, geared up got on and got under way. My H4 headlight on low is pretty good, on HI it is awesome, unfortunatly, it is pointing up and iluminating the tree tops. Something either broke, or the adjustment gear has come displaced, either way, a headlight directed up is not a safe way to roll in the dark. I am so sorry if some of you made it for the ride, I hope you went without me and enjoyed the cooler temps.Ride safe all,Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWing'R Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I would have went with you if I saw this thread earlier. I like to ride 270.I rode it last night at 9:30p. Maybe next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschaf Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 All I can say is that Ohio Riders certainly is a diverse group of motorcyclists. Roads like 270 are what I sometimes have to endure to get to the twisties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 270 is only second to 71/70 interchange on my list of least favorite roads in Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) 270, 675, 35,75,71,70, and any other highway riding only would be worse than being forced to watch poker or nascar on tv. To each their own though, but I don't ride for those type of rides. Edited July 8, 2012 by NinjaNick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWing'R Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 To each their own though, but I don't ride for those type of rides.I use a quick "lap" around 270 as a "clear my head" quick fix. It gets meon the seat for a little bit, it lets me cruise at speeds that can be fun andit's right there, close to my house, so what the hell.

Pokey Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I would rather masturbate with sandpaper than ride on 270. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIJI-9-Brother Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 some of you sound like old ladies, blah blah blah, those roads aren't good enough for me and my bike and such... I don't ride for any "type" of road, I ride because it make me happy, end of story. I'd make that 270 loop with you some morning if you organize something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIJI-9-Brother Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Don't get me wrong I love getting to kershockton and hocking and other fun roads in Ohio, however, I don't have time to make those 170 mile trips on a regular basis and I'm not going to sit around and wait for them to manifest every month like the csba rides (awesome btw). Ill ride pretty much whenever to wherever so I guess I don't get the whole, its boring to ride this and that thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
