Go west young man and I'd be willing to meet up with ya somewhere between Cleveland and Toledo.

Don't let my Avatar influence your response to this fantastic offer.

The point is that the good Ohio riding is south and east

His Avatar tells you everything you need to know. :lol:

NWS for Shadow

Sorry Shadow, I don't think I know of any good roads between Cleveland & Toledo.

Weather forcast still looks good.

Yeah I got it ... but I heard in-breeding is rampant in that part of Ohio so I'm sort of scared to stray too far South and East :dribble:

You're right, pretty boring in that part of Ohio. Now Michigan (pronounced MEEEEECHIGAN) is a superior state for motorcycle riding so if you're in my neighborhood some day let me know and I'll give you a tour.

Please give some examples. I may be coming up that way mid-April. I will be going through Lousiville nnorth towards Gahanna.

Don't have time now... but buy a gazetteer of Ohio or look on MS S & T. Or look on the route I have in the ramble thread...2nd to last page...that area is good.

Or take the hint...south and east. Tstaff can help you out better. I'm just a visiting flatlander from IL.

Charles Manson is from SE Ohio, enough said.

But they sure have great roads.

I will be in your neighborhood November 17th, no bike.

The Big House has nothing on SE Ohio!

<offtopic> You ARE kidding right? Hey, my family loves the beaches of western MI, but buy a map of both states...and compare. Post up an MS S&T map what part of Michigan has an area of curvy roads the size of se ohio. It doesn't. <backontopic>

Sorry I can't go tstaff. Maybe some other time this year.

 

[timk]

I might be ready by then. I've got it tore apart for maint, and fixing the mess the local wrench left me after the TPS install. I rode a couple more roads, in the area you'd probably like. 250,519,9,149 to Bellaire,then scoot down 7 to Hanibal and reverse the ride from the river back to Cadiz??????? We can still meet in Cadiz. FYI Manson was from Benwood WVa.

Yes I was kidding ... but not about the in-breeding.

I haven't strayed too far from SE Michigan/NW Ohio since I bought my bike late last summer. I'm originally from NW Ohio (non-in-breeding part of Oh) and know that area is pretty boring compared to SE Mi which is where I live now. Not that many twisty's but plenty of pretty scenary here.

Hi Tim,

Hope you can make it, Looks like it might be dry this time.

I have some tentative plans to meet up with a couple of guys at the old gas station at 70 & 800 around 10:45/11:00 who will be coming from the Columbus area. I was thinking 800S/78E/536S/7S maybe lunch in Sisterville, 800N/26S to Marietta. Then 821N/145N back to 800N heading for home. Let me know what you think?

Hope to see you Sunday.

Tom

Just north of Barnsville at the highway.

Ok!

at the old gas station at 70 & 800 around 10:45/11:00

it is. If I had some more info I might be able to hook up with the couple of guys coming form Columbus at around 8:30. According to streets & trips I can be on the east side of Columbus by 8:30 if I leave my house at 5:30. For me this is doable.

They are not 100% committed yet, I’ll keep you posted.

looks like fun :yahoo:

Streets says 177.8 miles 3hrs 31min. But it never takes in account the FJR factor.

Looks like 255 could be a real hoot also? Less time chasing the river and more twisties. But I don't know these roads.
