I got too many pictures on my camera and there is no Ohio love at all on this here thread. So if you are from ohio lets see some damn pictures! I took a couple today with this post in mind, some are kinda crappy but I found some good places to take pictures today with some poor turnout so stay tuned I will make better ones. I found some cool spray paint tags in town I wanna get pictures of. we have lots of stuff in ohio...these pictures are from my north-west corner of it. This is some seasonal weather for ya.  we have wide open spaces a plenty.  kinda warm for october, makes for good long riding season.  This angle of the bike isn't all that great but my dog running full-tilt into me as I kneel on the ground to take the picture is priceless. I love my dog.  no wake = good fishing  This river kinda runs through the main part of the city. We used to be a big port to lake erie.  The docks for personal craft behind me in those pics, you cant see it at all but there is a baseball diamond up there by the houses.  This is one of the main bridges across the river in town.I'm actually standing in the shadow of the bridge in this picture. There is a big park underneath the bridge where people park to fish, walk up and down the river, smoke illicit substances and streetwalkers at night I hear. Cool place...  This is an old ship (frigate? something to that effect...) that has been permanently docked here as a museum for all the traffic that used to be on the river. It's actually just a few hundred yards away from the bridge in the last pic. Public tours happen everyday still. You actually can just walk into the ship and explore around (without crossing the velvet rope of course...) I'll take better pictures when I have the chance.  A better pic of the city in the backround. Almost looks like the ship has a small city on it's cargo bay.  Wanted to remain anonymous. Ya' Look awful guilty fellas...  I remain anonymous here because I'm riding B**ch, and the rider does because he's feeling me up. we arent at work either... that's all I got for now, I hope to see some other pictures from Ohio making their way here from some other buellers. | ||

I was born in Ohio. That last photo explains well enough why I left soon after.  | ||

I lived in Clyde where I met my wife, had a son, and moved to Michigan more than a decade ago. I loved riding along Lake Erie, Put in Bay, and the shore from Sandusky west. | ||

Thanks for stopping by at my home town Blake and Joules. Here's some more pictures from my latest antics/really boring stuff. Recently I went to school at an undisclosed location to further my learning of the arts. Behold I walk in the halls of greatness (or at least a buncha old Harley motors!)  This is the entrance to the school, got old sporty motors, old knuckles, and stuff that I dont know WTF its from, its just old and above my head. But I still get ushered along but the guide on our first day, "Your in Air-cooled powertrain right? Then you will have plenty of time to look at motors, lets keep moving." My classroom and my desk at school.  It was great, I couldnt find a place where it wasnt cold, damp, and organized....I'm home!  I would show all the open motor pics but I kinda wondered about it, then I figured that those kinda pics are porn only for my, so I will move on for the sake of other people. (and I dunno if I should do that, I dont think I'm allowed to be even taking pics of it open, anyways...) I get free for a couple extra minutes during the tours and lunch, I have a few minutes to walk around and explore. Only to be greeted by a friend, down behind several turns in the hallways and next to the fire exit (good thing, gotta get the good s**t out first!)  Hey there fella, where are all your friends? There has gotta be more. They wouldnt bring you all the way back here for punishment would they?  I take a closer look and its been used, its a real bike! Amongst all these test bikes this one is REAL! It has felt the road and the pleasure of speed.  So there I stand in awe and excitment at my find. "Man, this is f**king cool. What the hell is it doing here?"  I turned around only to be surprised again. .....if you cant read it, it says "BUELL LAB". I was pissed that I walked right by it, but did not neglect to press my face on the window and see a room full of glorious 1125r's with their dresses up waiting for the students to come back from lunch to begin the next learning endeavor. "it's open ya know..." I turn and wipe the spit off my face and the door/window, only to see the school executives walking by. Just in time to see my deer in headlights look from all the Buell that just happened to me. "I can go in? and just check it out, I wont touch anything!" I chatter outta my piehole like a schoolgirl. "You can touch whatever you want, just be respectful of what others are trying to leave in place." another says. I just nod, and wave. Thanking them for enlightening me and am assured by them its ok, just be sure to be back from lunch on time!  Oh the horror....can I control myself????  I cant help it, I make this noise "oooooo......aahhhhhh" After I have my moment and regain my senses. I scour the class for anything I can learn and stuff back into my brain for later. This is better than the damn S-1 in the hallway! (not by much tho) So there are people being trained on this stuff, no matter what anyone says. Things are on the right track. Had to get back tho, only a little taste of Buell for me. Found this pic of Mr. Carr having his way with a VR1000 and a motor to boot, in the hallways of school.  Other than that I have a buncha Milwaukee pictures and stuff that I have to upload on here, that place is an excellent place for what is there, Harley's, beer brewery's, and all the other stuff other people use. People are nicer than back home too! stop by again, later. | ||

Great pictures and they have some of the top instructors there. I have TONS of photos of that #64 S1WL when it was wearing seafoam green and on tour. Great write up! | ||

Thanks Court! I actually sat on that S1 the next day cause I couldnt handle it being there and me not touching it, it needed a little love. I had more than a awesome experience. The instructors or "Facilatators" (sp? some english major I turned out to be) as they like to be called, were some of the most interesting people I have ever met. much to be learned. | ||

>>>The instructors or "Facilatators" (sp? some english major I turned out to be) as they like to be called, were some of the most interesting people I have ever met. No problem . . one of your instructors is a former school teacher and well qualified to teach you either Buells OR English.  And you thought I didn't keep track of where you were. | ||

Cool pics! I took my lady for a ride up there once(I'm from the black swamp) and she freaked out-she's from the city. I stopped on 199 south of 6. We laid down in the grass, with the stars edge to edge. I miss that country often. |
