Author Message   Screamerbolt Posted on Wednesday, April 26, 2006 - 10:39 pm:        also if sundays are better we can do it on a sunday(usually less traffic too).as far as meeting up,i think mcdonalds is a good idea(plenty of parking and cheap breakfast)then we could ride all the twisty roads through hocking hills and eat at sonic for lunch,then hit st.rt.50 to chillicothe,rt.35 to washington court house and split off from there.if ceejay goes me and him could take rt.62 back to columbus and split off from there.I think this would be good because we could get the aggressive roads after breakfast then calm down and relax after lunch.this is just a thought,let me know what you think reep   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, April 27, 2006 - 11:15 am:        My route will be really intersting, my ride will be "booring". I have nothing to prove to anyone, I will be riding at a pace that is spirited and fun, but that I promise won't impress anyone. I am much more interested in keeping perfect form and hitting the perfect line and enjoying the scenery then I am about touching pegs or impressing other riders. If my line starts getting sloppy or my form starts getting all bent up, I just slow down. Sometimes, I just slow down anyway, because I feel like it. I won't be a rolling roadblock for cars are cruisers, but I will be moving over and waving for anybody on a sportbike with something to prove. I am thinking we will have predefined rally points every 50 minutes or so anyway, so everybody can pick their own pace.   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, April 27, 2006 - 11:16 am:        That sounds great, I will plan something along those lines. Where is the Sonic?   Ceejay Posted on Thursday, April 27, 2006 - 11:48 am:        I'm in, if you guys want to meet further south or anywhere else it's cool with me, most everything south is only 2 hrs away. Would like to hit some of the stuff closer to the Ohio R. sometime too.   Ceejay Posted on Thursday, April 27, 2006 - 12:38 pm:        There's a Sonic down that way? Cool...   Rum_runner Posted on Thursday, April 27, 2006 - 07:19 pm:        SCREAM IM STILL CHECKING MY DATES. WE JUST GOT ANOTHER ORDER FOR HALF MILLION MORE POUNDS OF STEEL THATS DUE MID MAY. I'LL LET YOU KNOW WITHIN 24 HRS IF IM GOING TO MAKE IT.   Screamerbolt Posted on Thursday, April 27, 2006 - 07:34 pm:        AHHHHHH....YESSSSS....everyone loves sonicsonic is in nelsonville,and only about 10 mins.off of the course i mentioned earlier.anyway glad to see ceejay is going to make it.so that makes 4 confirmed riders so far.that pace is fine with me reep.hey rum_runner you should really find a way to try and make it.sorry reep but i have to ask...why do you think the ride will be boring?is anyone opposed to stopping on rt.56 around ash cave for a picture to post on badweb(show the rest of the ohio riders thats not participating what they missed out on)then again we still have 2 wks maybe more will join in.   Screamerbolt Posted on Thursday, April 27, 2006 - 07:45 pm:        sounds good rum_runner!and im with ceejay on the ohio river run.i have always wanted to do a ride in the river area but i never have.im not familiar with the area at all though.i think there is a motorcycle mural painted on a wall somewhere around portsmouth but im not sure.anyway if you guys want to do another ride after this one,count me in(pending time and dates)i heard there is some nice riding in the southwestern part of the state and the northeastern part as well.i say eventually we check it all out!   Screamerbolt Posted on Thursday, April 27, 2006 - 08:12 pm:        hey reep tell me what you think of this route and let me know if this is to much for anyone.leave circleville(with a full stomach)on rt.56 and go to laurelville.hit rt.180 and go northeast to lake logan st.park.take a break.jump on rt.664 and go south to south bloomingville.take rt.56 east to ash cave and stop for pics and a break.continue on 56 to rt 278 and head for sonic.eat lunch.take 278 south to rt.50 and go west toward chillicothe.stop in chillicothe for a break.then hit rt.35 west to washington court house.then stop,give our nice to meet ya's,shake hands and split off.   Rum_runner Posted on Thursday, April 27, 2006 - 08:20 pm:        SCREAM YOU LIKE TO POST PICTURES I'VE BEEN TALKING TO TOONA ON THE QUICK BOARD. AND HE REMINDED ME I HAVE A TOWN ABOUT AND HOUR NORTH OF ME CALLED (BUELL CORNERS)FOR REAL THATS THE NAME. I'M GOING TO FIND OUT FOR TOONA IF THEY HAVE A TOWN SIGN. IF THEY DO THAT WOULD MAKE A GREAT PICTURE US OUR BIKES AND THAT SIGN.   Rum_runner Posted on Thursday, April 27, 2006 - 08:24 pm:        SCREAM ONE DAY WE ALL GOT TO GO TO THAT SIGN.   Screamerbolt Posted on Thursday, April 27, 2006 - 08:32 pm:        no way!buell corners for real?sounds like a great idea!is this toona going with us?   Rum_runner Posted on Thursday, April 27, 2006 - 09:06 pm:        LET ME FIND OUT WHAT KIND OF TOWN SIGNS THEY HAVE AND I'LL LET YOU KNOW. MAYBE I CAN GET AWAY FOR A LITTLE BIT SUNDAY AND TAKE A RUN UP THERE.   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, April 27, 2006 - 09:11 pm:        You guys know the area, you know better then I do. Let me plot that tomorrow, and see how bad it looks like by butt will be hurting... I mean good booring, not booring booring. Booring like no accidents, no tickets, no drama, no disasters, just a nice spirited ride through Gods glory on a finely tuned middleweight sporting twin. I'm teaching myself to weld, how much steel will fill a tailbag?   Screamerbolt Posted on Thursday, April 27, 2006 - 09:34 pm:        hey rum i might just have to take a ride up there myself this weekend.i know i have plans on sat.but not sure about saturday night or sunday.hey reep i think it will end up being around 250 miles round trip.maybe a touch over that.the thing is.....once you get to hocking hills you never really go that far as the crow flies most of the trip is to and from.and btw i like your definition of booring cuz thats the ride i am looking for too.   Ceejay Posted on Friday, April 28, 2006 - 03:59 pm:        I'm teaching myself to weld, how much steel will fill a tailbag? about 120 pounds he, he, he...sounds like a great ride, I know that place is cool regardless of speed, and much better when you come out scratchless. I've lost it once there and so have a few friends, so the definition of booring sounds great to me too...   Ceejay Posted on Saturday, April 29, 2006 - 01:02 am:        Sbolt-the mural is in Portsmouth been down there a few times, to which they just recently got it done. If your bored look it up on the internet sometime, has lots of cool pics, can't remember the site tho. Awesome flood and scooter murals. There are about 35 panels 20'X15' that cover the entire flood wall running about 3/4 of mile. Definitely worth the ride to see. Always wanted to go down there, and then hit rt 7 into KY. yea old man cave area is just up down and around. never seem to get anywhere or really care as its fun and makes me think I'm in Appalacia.   Ceejay Posted on Saturday, April 29, 2006 - 01:13 am:        found it, anyone in the area that enjoys art/history/hard work should check these out very nicely done and cool to see up close... http://www.portsmouthmuralproducts.com/ if the web site shouldn't be posted let me know as I'm not/don't know anyone affiliated. Just think its cool.   Screamerbolt Posted on Saturday, April 29, 2006 - 02:44 am:        thanks ceejay for the link.if you plan on heading down that way anytime soon let me know,i would really like to check it out in person.that rt 7 looks like a damn good time too.take rt7 south and bring rt1 back north.when are we leavin?   Screamerbolt Posted on Sunday, April 30, 2006 - 01:34 pm:        hey guys i found a website today for ohio buell riders(i am sure you guys already know about it,but it was new to me)i thought about posting our ride on there.IF THERE ARE ANY OBJECTIONS TO THIS LET ME KNOW ASAP PLEASE!anyway i checked out their site today and it dont seem like a very busy site(i think i was member number 77)people dont seem very active on there but i figured it would be a place to find a couple more local buell riders.   Screamerbolt Posted on Sunday, April 30, 2006 - 01:42 pm:        well i went on the poker run yesterday.it was a very good turnout(370 riders)but a bad day for me.a friend of mine broke his chain out in the middle of nowhere.while we were trying to fix this a guy on a goldwing started around a curve and his kickstand was down(this is a bad thing)he ended up going down pretty hard and broke some ribs.but all in all i guess thats not to much to go wrong with that many riders.plus we raised almost $5000.00 for the family.   Ceejay Posted on Monday, May 01, 2006 - 10:54 am:        S-bolt-I had been on Rt. 7 in a car with a U-haul filled with furniture coming up from the freeway once before. My wife is yelling at me for driving too fast and having fun, but that was just it having fun. It would be a great road for a cycle although could be somewhat hairy with gravel/no roadsigns/animals. But the scenery was damn cool. KY has some great looking roads....That's a lot of riders, was going to go on that run last year but ended up fishing instead...   Screamerbolt Posted on Tuesday, May 02, 2006 - 01:14 am:        well i didnt hear any objections to posting the ride on the other website so i went ahead and done it about a half an hour ago.and we picked up another rider with a new uly.hey rum_runner did you get a chance to run up to buell corners this wekend?So ceejay maybe ky will be our next run.im sure reep will be in for that one cuz i think thats right around his stompin grounds.he might even know some good backroads to get there   Screamerbolt Posted on Tuesday, May 02, 2006 - 01:19 am:        oh yeah btw reep are you still in?did you plot the route?should we shorten it?   Rum_runner Posted on Tuesday, May 02, 2006 - 04:51 pm:        NO SCREAM NO CHANCE THIS WEEKEND.FOUR WEEKS AGO THE MECHANIC THAT WORKS AT THE HARLEY SHOP I GO TO. HE WAS DOING A ROUTINE CHECK ON A BIKE TOOK IT FOR A TEST RUN MADE IT 1000 FT FROM THE SHOP A LADY PULLED OUT IT FRONT OF HIM. HE WAS GOING ABOUT 40 HE GOT BUSTED UP BAD. WENT INTO A COMA AND HIS WIFE DECIDED TO PULL THE PLUG THURSDAY. HIS VIEWING WAS OVER THE WEEKEND. AND HIS WIFE GOT HIM A HARLEY HURSE. SO HE GOT HIS FINALE RIDE ON A HOG. AT LEAST HE WENT OUT IN STYLE.   Screamerbolt Posted on Tuesday, May 02, 2006 - 06:29 pm:        sorry to hear that rum_runner.   Screamerbolt Posted on Wednesday, May 03, 2006 - 10:09 pm:        hey ceejay what kind of pipes are those on your bike?are you right outside of columbus?doin any riding anytime soon?i wanna check your bike out.   Ceejay Posted on Thursday, May 04, 2006 - 01:34 pm:        s-bolt, it's a full force, I just wrapped them, and fabbed up a mini silencer, which mostly just quiets it down a bit at idle as I live in a little burb on the west side of Cols. We still meeting up on the 13th? I'm having problems with my seat-it just got recovered and I went and checked it out and he did a terrible job so hopefully that will be done by then so we can meet up.   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, May 04, 2006 - 01:41 pm:        I have a conflict for the 13th and 14th... The 27th or 28th would probably be my best bet, though I might be able to swing the 21st. Don't cancel on my account though... do the date that works for everybody.   Screamerbolt Posted on Thursday, May 04, 2006 - 07:13 pm:        ceejay if you are in columbus and reep is not going then maybe we should meet up somewhere else on the 13th.the other guy that wants to go that owns the uly is from columbus also(i think).Ohhh yeah and sorry to hear about the seat.I still find it hard to believe that there is no one else from ohio that participates on this post.
