bill- not davis and I took a ride into West Virginia today and it got a little weird. Read about it here.
I notice ABATE has their events list for 2005 online now so here is a link to this site. From this I got the dates for a few more of the rides we wanted to attend this year and have added them to our future rides section. I proclaim that winter and cold winter will end on March 26th. I am going riding that day. If the weather still stinks I intend to pretend the weather has improved and ride anyway. I have also added a couple new videos today and over the next couple of days I will be adding quite a few motorcycle sounds in the video area.
Tonight I was doing some research for good roads and I found something interesting. I found a listing that said route 555 from Zanesville, OH to the river is the best road in Ohio. While looking at the Mountainfest web site I saw that Rt. 50 in West Virginia was voted the fourth best road in the country to ride. As it turns out, 555 meets 50 at the border. I got an idea that this could be a great ride, but it will be a long ride. It comes out to about 500 miles with a lot of it on two lane road. Even so, Streets a Trips says we can do this ride in about 9 hours. Add in an hour for breakfast, an hour for lunch, and an hour for dinner. Leaving at 6:00AM should get us back around 6:00PM. Let me know if anyone is interested in trying this one.
Today we took a ride to Columbus to see the Easyriders Motorcycle Show. It was pretty interesting and I have posted the pictures of the bikes I liked the best here. The guys from Milwaukee Iron were there and they insisted they get their pictures taken with the Tankster.
This morning on the way to work I saw something I could not believe. I was heading north on 169 at about 6:30AM during the blizzard we had this morning and a guy on a motorcycle passed me going south. I think he might have been on a Suzuki GSXR. Here is a guy I could ride with. I am sure the threat of rain in the forecast for a ride would not keep this guy from showing up for the ride.
