Is there anyone from Chicago area planning on coming down I65 and then I70? Leaving Friday morning? Or maybe Thursday evening?

On Friday morning early...I think Marty, Griff and I were going to take US 30 east into Ohio, then drop down at the border to take Rt 56 all the way to Athens, then 78 east to Caldwell area, then the fun back roads that Denny showed us from last May down to Marietta.
Or something like that. We could meet you in Ohio somewhere maybe as 56 crosses I-70 or one of the "major" towns that Rt 56 is on...like say London or Circleville (Bungie's home town).
Or something like that...

I might end up running to Columbus on Thursday afternoon to spend some time at Ironpony that evening,then work east off the highway Friday morning. I'm 4 hours from Columbus.

Hey guy's,
33 out of Fort Wayne into the Iron Pony might work. It's always a good stop to rest at.
See Yeh's in May!!!!
Just Sayin !!!!!!!

Beth is interested in leaving Thurs afternoon as well, she does not like to do early when she has a day off and I can't blame her. Riding to Columbus and getting dinner then working our way east on Friday sounds appealing. We are 3 1/2 hours from Columbus and can get away from Indy at 3pm Thursday.

Sounds like we need BikerGeek to host dinner Thursday night.
If I depart directly from work, I'm 200 miles from IronPony. Call it 3hrs. If I take a half day, I could depart at 1130, and in Columbus by 3. If I'm two up, it would be a 1-1:30ish departure from the house and 4hrs to the Pony, which still puts us there around the time you and Beth would get in. We'd have time to run through WV Friday before looping back to Marietta...

Wish I had an FJR so I could join the fun. Never ridden in that area.

Robert, you do know that if you keep your eyes open in the classifieds, that wish of a cheap gen 1 could easily come true... as long as your definition of cheap isn't a couple hundred bucks.

I've been trying to keep an eye out but I was away for about a week and let that 08 in Miss. get away. High miles and a cheap price are just up my alley.

Darn, shucks and bugger....Beth has to do Her Istep testing with her specific 7th grade social studies group that Friday. So now the soonest we can get away is Friday at 3pm. See y'all at the hotel parking lot at 8pm or so. Please save me a cold one.

Look forward to seeing you and Beth.
BTW, Marty says "hi, and thanks for the tick spray."

You are of stronger will than I, for sure Denny. Sounds like I need to make time for a scouting trip in April...

I'm just hoping that I don't need to have surgery on my back (should find out Monday), or it might be a while before I get down to see the new bike...maybe not till after the Ramble

Yeah, it's a concrete corn cob. So?
I can definitely provide suggestions (our place barely has enough space for me and Sooze, so we're gonna have to go out somewhere). We're on the northwest side, so that's where most of these places are:
101 Beer Kitchen. A constantly-changing beer selection and VERY tasty rustic food.
The Pint Room. A HUGE beer list and good, if a tad pricey, burgers. I'm a fan of their burger called The Hangover.
Natalie's Coal Fired Pizza. New York-style pizza, live music, and, of course, a pretty good beer list.
The Starliner Diner. This is the kind of place you'd expect to see on "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives."
Cap City Diner. Higher-end diner food. Their signature dish is their meatloaf.
The Bogey Inn. When I was a kid, the Bogey was a biker bar. Now it's a hangout for snooty Dublin cougars and yuppies, but their food is pretty good.
City BBQ. Pretty good BBQ.
The Winking Lizard. I'll probably be done with my 2013 World Tour Of Beer by the time the Ramble comes around, but I could be convinced to go there anyway.
Wurst Und Bier. Authentic German food and, yep, beer. Good thing about this place is there are several hotels within walking distance.
Barley's Smokehouse. A brewpub and a smokehouse. What more could you want?
So, ya, we have some options.
Don't need an FJR, just a motorcycle. Hell - I brought along a co-worker last year who was on his Buell.
You just missed Bust's very-low-mile '04 for sale at a good price.
