Saturday morning threw a leg over the bike around 7am and headed up 93 to Columbus. It's about a 2 1/2 hour ride. It's a nice ride though I recommend state routes 93 and 140 to anybody in the area.

Met up with my good friend and personal tour guide on a vfr800 on the east side of town around 9:45ish and together we headed to a local car event in the arena district where we would rendezvous with mrlogix. The plan was to Han out for awhile and later meet with Crome at 12:00pm.

Most of the cars had thinned out by the time Mrlogix had shown up. Manage to snap a few pictures of some gems that were left.

Doc's Bentley. This car currently holds two world records and was kicked out of the ohio mile for "going too fast" :D

.....Around noon now and have heard nothingl from Crome....


After hanging around for awhile we headed out to a local place called "skyward grill", best Philly cheesesteak in ohio for sure.

....still no Crome....


Rode around town a bit and ended up at guitar center, tormented the evening staff for an hour or so before we made our way to the iron pony. Dorito and myself are regulars at both locations Lol. If you have not been to iron pony I suggest you make a point to do so. It is literally an ex-super k-mart packed full of motorcycles and gear. Usually 40-50 customers bikes parked on the side walk out front. Really cool place. Anyways spent an hour or two there. Too busy gawking at shiny new toys to take pictures.

....well past 12 now, get a text from Crome saying they would be late lol

Stop to fuel up and head east out of town for buckeye lake. Stop to get some gas and head out. Weather is beginning to look spotty. Iphone weather app states 30% chance of storms. Check the radar and there is a violent system hovering just above our destination.

It definitely stormed. Got caught in a heavy downpour and pulls off under an overpass where we met a guy on his 'boosa lol.

Classic Dorito face ha.

After befriending the 'boosa we part ways and ride through the rain to the nearest town. We ironically stop under the shelter of a car wash to dry off and regain our visibility. Mrlogix grabs some shop towels and rainx from a nearby store and we take off for the lake again.

Once again stopping to fuel up. We've already gone through two tanks of fuel. Note the shop towels stored in the 1125r's sandwhich storage compartment. Very convenient. http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums...9-B7BF-4419-951E-429FD5FDF9F5_zpseeuopivn.jpg

Finally arriving at buckeye lake. A very serene and peaceful place.

From there we head out to a bar on the lake called papa boo's. Our first of two visits there that evening. Good food. Cool place.

From papa boo's we rode off on the first curvy road we could find. The roads had cleared up from the rain so we rode at a pretty solid pace. It was a good time. Ended up passing the triple nickel and wound up in zanesville. Finally heard from Crome an company, they had arrived at papa boo's. Fueled up again and hauled ass on i70 back to the lake. Literally hauled ass. That was fun. After meeting up and hanging out at papa boo's we escorted Crome and company to a nearby hotel and we took our leave. It was late an they had a lot of catching up to do the next day.

Ever go on ohioriders dot net?

I am on there but I hardly post. Same username.

I'm going to try to get a ride together for us ohio guys. I will post it up on the other forums too. I was thinking hocking hills but I don't know the roads there. Or down south in my area, Shawnee forest/Portsmouth region. Wherever there's good riding really lol. What do you guys think?
 
Lots of good roads in hocking. There's a pretty nice back way there from Columbus, mostly down Walnut Creek Pike. Then you can pick up 56 south east out of Circleville and head into Hocking hills. I like to follow 56 all the way down to 278 and then head south into Zaleski. There's a little bar that 278 pretty much dead ends into and its good for a piss stop. From there, there's endless possibilities.

If you want to go east and northeast thru buggy land (Amish country), I've ridden with a few guys from Ohioriders and know a couple roads out that way, too.

Saturday is supposed to be really nice...
