Fall 555 Twisty Tour Okay, I'm officially scheduling a ride. Borrowing Mike's tag line from last year (as well as his format - plagiarism is the ultimate compliment, right?), this will be... "A Spirited Tour through Southeast Ohio." Scheduled for Sunday, October 10 at 11am this will cover 185 miles over 5 1/2 hours, including 46 rolling, twisty miles of SR 555 (the "Triple Nickel"). Plan on being there given that it's not raining or wet (slippery leaves in twisties give me the heebie jeebies) and the temp is above 50.

IF it rains on the 10th, I'll see yinz guys on the 17th. IS it bad form to hope for rain on the 10th??? Just kidding, hope you guys have a fun and most importantly a safe ride. |

the cords started to show on the Conti's. I put them on in the early spring so I'm pretty happy with the life of the tire |

Fall Twisty Tour in 6 days! I'm curious who's planning on going so far. I'm going no matter how many or few indicate they're going, so even if you don't speak up before hand you can always just show up, ready to ride at 11am Sunday. So who's planning on it so far? |

Mine was doing that so I lightly sanded the rotor to knock the glaze off. Seems to have worked. I just used a little 400 wet/dry and water. |

Could have been Mark or Dennis. Wasn't me on the "Baby Uly" I was on my KLR buying food at the store. Nice day for a ride but I had work to get done so I can do the 555 tomorrow! Even WASHED both bikes! |

for anyone that didn't go on the ride.... Does anyone have a set of front brakes for a 02 x1?? I'll order some tomorrow but if anyone happens to have a extra set today it would make my day. I just checked them seemed like a a couple weeks ago and i figured i could make it till it got too cold but i guessed wrong. they're starting to make me nervous... you can call or text 6144858758. |
