    Going to California

    Always love those picture heavy west coast ride reports!I'll be revisiting this report in a few months when I'm knee deep in cabin fever in the Ohio winter.

    New '19 FJR Owner

    I've been riding FJR's since 2004 and I still think they are one of the best looking bikes out there.That matte blue is sweet!Like someone else said,I hope you enjoy it as much we do. You'll find the FJR has long legs,they've been know to go several states away when they hear about some good...

    Bike keyed at work!

    It looks accidental to me.It looks like someone scraped it with their vehical from front to back,realized they scraped it and backed up to get off it.The front fenders on that Jeep look about the right hight...just saying.It still sucks,they should have left a note with contact information.

    South East Ohio Ramble 2.0

    BTW,my 100,000 miles in SEO pales in comparison to the Grey Ghost over in Newark...he has over 400,000 on his Gen 1.Now that's amazing!!!

    South East Ohio Ramble 2.0

    Thanks to everyone for coming to the gathering of the Yamaha triples.2 Tracers,a FJ09,a FZ9 and a FJR.Especially thanks to Ray for posting the ride...and bringing the laughs.It's always fun Ray.The weather was nearly perfect and ODOT came through again with good road surfaces on all State routes...

    South East Ohio Ramble 2.0

    I'd like to stay with the Fuel Mart.Most of the good stuff is on the West side of SEO anymore, especially one newly paved snake that gives 536 a run for the money.The just finished paving last Saturday... hopefully they didn't do any edging this week.

    2019 SEOR (South East Ohio Ramble )

    I'm not buying that **** for one second.He's sandbagging you folks.He's gonna get you thinking,"ah,we have to look out for the old guy."And all you're going to see is this blur blowing by you with a gleam in his eye as you faintly hear..."******* kids."I know,I 've seen it.Ray...remember that...

    2019 SEOR (South East Ohio Ramble )

    I was out playing/riding around SEO today and your roller coaster description came into my head several times.With all of the elevation changes and changes in direction these roads are very much like a roller coaster!I've been riding SEO for several decades and it just never occurred to me how...

    Deer Strikes by State

    West Virginia being number one is a little surprising to me.They don't seem to be as skittish as Ohio deer.In my experience they'll just stand there whereas an Ohio deer will bolt out in front of you in a heart beat.I've never hit one on a bike but I've had plenty of close calls.I had one run...

    What's the Weather like where YOU are today?

    New tire on the FJ 09 yesterday and 50 degrees Wednesday so I should be able to break it in then.Our weather has been going back and forth between single digits and 50 degrees about every four days,which gives me one or two days a week to ride.

    Speaking of ferries... this might be a good way to relax for a few hours before heading north up the Lake Michigan coast. https://www.ssbadger.com/schedule-fares/

    Midwest Road Trip Suggestions?

    Of course ride across the Mackinaw bridge.Do it on a windy day and you just might have a " come to Jesus moment."
