<div>Larry, you’re right about the road hazards you mention, but what makes me most squeamish is those “guard rails” made of two cables and metal stakes with the stakes protruding above the upper cable. They would surely rip one’s guts out if you had the misfortune of running into one.</div>

I revised the Friday afternoon to take SR 278 and 160 from Nelsonville to Gallipolis which will give us a little more forest riding and not duplicate the likely Sunday route home following SR 7 along the Ohio River.

We had a total of 24 bikes and 25 riders (see final roster in Post #1). The camaraderie, mutual support, and shared enthusiasm for motorcycling were something to behold.
A special thanks to…[Read more]

Roger, you can try my Corbin on your F700 any time – next Wednesday if you’d like. It’s definitely more comfortable than the stock, but wider throughout making it a bit more challenging to flat foot the bike.
