SE Ohio Spring "Ramble" 2008

[wheatonFJR]

hey Wheatie how are you? I just found this post, put me down as a possible maybe? The bikes come out of winter storage around that time, and the snow is usually gone by then. I hate to pass up a group ride this close to me.

added there Marty...

AND JUST A REMINDER...the sign up for this ride is only open until end of the day 2/29/08 and there are only SIX slots left. (See post#1 for all the major info)

The registration fee is too high, and why isn't my balloon on the map?

Wheattie, a buddy if mine is currently shopping for an '08 FJR. He has a sporty Beemer K bike of some sort right now. Anyway, if he gets the FJR he wants to join this ramble.

:lol: I just figured things were going a little too smoothly for you over here so I'd stir it up a little.

Will he want to join the Ramble if he still has his K bike? Is he a good rider?

Yes....I DID have fun on 536. As it turned out, I was only 2 minutes behind all the sportbikes

My personal favorite is 377 and some of 78. I prefer the long sweepers to the super tight technical. But I'm getting better

That "some of 78" wouldn't happen to be between Ringgold and Glouster would it?

 

[thompsonian]

Mmmmmmaybe.....I also liked some of near 83. I rode down a couple of different roads when I brought her home from Medina last August.

Where at in SEO do you live drc? I feel like I should have maybe passed you on a few roads round these parts. I remember passing someone on a Feejer following a person on a Connie last year.

He won't ride that far on the Beemer, it is not comfortable enough for him. He has been riding for many years and is a good, safe rider.

Geezer, tell him to just go ahead and order one. I was 'shopping' when I went to my 1st FJR Rumble - weren't you there? I was sold. 6 months, 7 tires, and 16,000 miles later, not one bit sorry.

Can't wait!

So THIS is cabin fever..........

 

[wheatonFJR]

Just a few hours left until the signup closes...end of day 2/29/08.

Also Marty, I'm not planning a Rumble ...unless yer lookin' fer a fight.

I live just south of Zanesville.There's a good chance we might have passed before since I've seen a few FJR's while exploring S.E.O. roads.I usually ride alone but ocasionally with a Buel rider.I mentioned the Ringgold to Glouster portion of 78 because I love that section.It's part of a loop I ride at least weekly.

 

[thompsonian]

I'll have to keep that in mind. I'm now living just off of 821. Bout 5 minutes from 145, and not too far from some other roads quite worth mentioning...

I hope to have the route posted by Sunday night.

Getting psyched... :yahoo:

 

[MartyA]

No fight, I'll be good. Promise. Just put me in the middle somewhere and keep an eye on me so I don't get lost.

Can't wait.

 

[wheatonFJR]

First post updated with BETA version of route.

Please carefully reread ALL of post #1 as I have included additional statements for non-FJR riders attending this little ride.

Is it just me, or were there 17 wks in February this year. The last 3 days its snowed 15 ft. in my driveway alone. OOOOOOOOOK! maybe its only been 12 ins. but it seems like like 15ft. anyway. I think its my [PMS acting up again] Parked Motorcycle Syndrome. Cant wait much longer to turn a tire. Come on April!!!!!
