Dying Shadow Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I can think of like 10 that I ride with just got done riding with 3 of them lol. But most don't like ridding around town shit gets boring going from light to light. If I do ride around town its usually at night other than that my ass heads to hocking and what not.

silentcropduster Posted May 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I am in Westerville. 08 Concours 1400.....ur bike is freggin 1,400 cc's. Mines a whopping 650 Anyways...how often do you ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmanlyst Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Mines only a 250, doesn't keep me from running with some of these hooligans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it pulls like a freight train when you whack the throttle, but your 650 is much lighter and much more nimble. I could probably wax many faster bikes in the twistys with my WR250R than if I were on a more powerful bike. Now when the road straightens out it is a whole other ball game. I am easing back into riding since shoulder surgery, and yesterday was a pretty good test. I hope to get out on Sat or Sunday every weekend for a bit, some quick rides and some long rides. I host a rally every Laborday weekend, you should consider coming if you want to ride some fun roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8Rider6 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I am in Westerville. Hey, me too!I could use some people to ride with. Are they any decent roads closer around Westerville/Columbus besides going to Hocking or other places at least 1-2 hours away?Around here, I usually ride around Worthington Road, Africa Road, Jaycox, Cheshire, etc... Those are the "best" roads I've managed to find that are still somewhat close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the "best" roads I've managed to find that are still somewhat close.We are about 45 min or less from the start of allot of great riding. Pick up 541 off 62 and ride to Coshocton, then up 83 is a nice close route. Hocking is only 45 min away, and the ride down to Marietta is well worth it. Head South to where I am from and ride 247/73/41 all down in southern Ohio is fabulous too. Basically NE/SE/East and South has fantastic riding in Ohio, well worth whatever jaunt it takes to get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode around Hoover tonight, which was nice but it took me like 30 mins to clean my helmet, stupid mosquito's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smccrory Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Westerville here, and Pokey's right - lots of great riding within a short shot. Mt Vernon via 3 is a pleasant ride, then back via 13 or other options. I'd totally be into rides less than a couple hours or so in duration. My neck and back sometimes limit me from much longer, so I like to play it conservatively. Anywho, I have a Nighthawk standard/sport bike and a VStar cruiser that can both keep up nicely.

smccrory Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 My SV def limits me from a comfort stand point. More than 1 1/2 - 2 hrs riding and im in pain!Arthritic neck and lower back here, with some stenosis and facet nerve compression. So, yea, I know what you mean. But I'm going to ride as long as I can - surgery will come at some point, and it'll impose it's own break. Aging is no game for sissies.
