Well it sounded like you were soliciting, so I wanted to be first. There you have it. Do with it what you will. Joe is still going to have to keep up!

Wig? What wig? Those were my eye brows brushed back.
Started the FJR yesterday for the first time since last October. 09 original battery, sits in a unheated storage shed every winter in north pa. Started first push of the button.
KLR started but took more cranking time.
KTM started second kick.
Super motard won't turn over. Too much compression for a cold morning.
See you all at the parking lot.

More throttle, less brake
Rode today for the first time this year. 11 degrees Celcius (50 F). Heated grips helped. Want to get some saddle time in before the trip in less than 4 weeks. Almost here!
Looking forward to seeing some of you at the Texax Hot Diner in Kane PA for lunch on Thursday and the rest of you in the parking lot in Marietta on Thursday night!

I spent Saturday 4/5 and Sunday 4/6 riding the FSB roads of SE Ohio... in general the roads were not in bad shape... 260 South is closed at 145 (bridge construction) but the detour 565 (freshly paved last year) from 145 down to 260 is lots of fun. 26 is getting a little rough. I had a great time following Denny around on Sunday. We did about 70 miles of the west loop, then shot over to the east on 78, shot down 800 (Sisterville Ferry was closed) and had lunch at Quinet's Court Restaurant, in New Martinsville WV. After lunch we hit Proctor Creek Rd. (another great find of Denny's) then parted ways on 2 in Moundsville WV as it was getting late, I shot up 250 from Wheeling and got home by 6:45. Had a GREAT time...now to get some new tires.
Looking forward to the Ramble.
One thing to keep in mind, Many of us have not done a whole lot of riding this year, and many of the roads in SE Ohio can/will catch you off guard...if this happens, things usually don't end well. So please keep this in mind, and RIDE YOUR OWN RIDE.
Let's all have a safe and fun Ramble next month.

Breakfast for me will be at 7 before I leave Canuckstan. If the US border guards overlook that little thing that happened in NC last year, I should be there between 10-11am. HA! Sooooooo, technically, this will be lunch for me.
Any company is welcome for the ride in.

Unfortunately, I won't make the Ramble, but Mike and I will definitely connect for the Memorial Day ride down to Welsboro. Mike, I'll PM you for that as we get closer to the date.It was supposed to be breakfast (Thurs 10-11am) unless you can't get outta bed in time (or they strip search you at the border)

Event registration is ready - this is to collect emergency contact info and to assist with setting up ride groups. Read the entire Guest Log page here and then use the link on that page to go to the event registration page (it's at Eventbright.com).
The site isn't perfect, but it's gotta do at this point.

Wayne, you rock! I just registered and it looks like I will be solo. Unfortunately, my wife has finals the following week and will have to study instead of having fun riding...
I plan to travel Friday and arrive in the afternoon. Ride the east loop Saturday, ride the west loop Sunday and head home half way through or if I'm having so much fun I can't tear myself away then I'll finish the look then head home that evening.
Anyone coming from or through Indy to get to Marietta?

Oh, I got a ticket, and I'm not even on the bike.
Still looking to share a room and give up the single.

I just registered too. Really good idea collecting the emergency contact info, Wayne. :thumbsup:
I selected routes for the two days will be there (Fri and Sat) but I really don't care which route I run which day and am willing to switch to balance the groups as needed. Just looking to get out and ride some new (to me) roads. I imagine there will be others that feel the same way.

OK. All registered. I picked the West Loop, but not set in stone. Would kind of like to see what the collective is doing and choose then. I prefer the West loop as we will probably ride some of the East on the way out Sunday. Oh, and, pace group A, because " This group may pass where space allows more often, which may not coincide with indicated passing zones".

I'm in the same boat. I picked group C, but have no real preference as to what day I ride which loop. But that wasn't an option.
If it's anything like the last time I went, you run the loop that avoids the rain the most that day.
