Hey Fred, Glad to hear you're OK. Beats going to the hospital!!! I've decided to do my part this year and do a little deer hunting. First, I love the vennison and second there seems to be a lack of hunting these days here in Central Ohio so the populations are booming. Everyone is too busy...

Ahhh....riding with FJR friends in the foothills of Appalachia! Brings back many a memories! And I'm honored to have shown those at Ramble version 1 the stomping grounds of SE Ohio. Once you go, you go back. In a way, this area is more challenging than other areas like KY and WV due to the...

Well don't you know it, the weatherman lied again! I awoke at 5:30 that morning to find 35 degree temps with a very light drizzle-more of a mist really. Not being able to see the sky yet (too dark) and relying on the prior days' forecast of rain with snow mix and temps at high of 42, I guess...

You probably mixed up the spacers. i thought, at least on gen1's, they are slightly different lenghts.

Nice... High 42 with snow and rain. WTF it's only mid October!!!! I'm probably out if the forecast remains. Not real crazy about slipping around with a half frozen arse! Don't be surprised if I show up Fri night to say hello though...been a while since I've seen some of you guys!! Have fun...

Gentlemen...start your engines...I'M IN for Oct 17th!!!!! Will meet you guys at the restaurant. And can lead some of the way me thinks. Sorry I've been off the site a lot lately. I haven't been riding much this summer either! All is well here and looking forward to seeing you guys again...

Yes, the #2 and 4 cyl coil gave up the ghost on my 03 at about 3K miles! Missing/hesitation was the symptom. I suspected the coil was bad; dealer repalced it under warranty. No problems since. I consider it an anomoly as I don't recall reading others complaints about it. Probably just got...

Looks like we're going to have to postpone this one. Not a lot of interest compared to years past to justify the needed other actions, mostly scouting for conditions, detours, etc-which takes 2 solid days to complete the planning and ensure the route has safe conditions. Was hoping for 12-20...

Well so far there are 5 confirmed attendees with 2 riding only one day and 3 staying the hotel. Very small turnout compared to years past?!? Bad economy? Normally we have a dozen or more riders! Are you guys OK with moving this to the fall to encourage more participation? Hate to do all the...

All- I spoke to the hotel today to inquire if we need more space. There is only 1 reservation at Baymont besides myself. Should we reschedule this ride for another time? Not much of a ramble with 2 overnight guests and a few folks coming in for a day...just checkin...it's a lot of work to...

Heidi! No! Sorry you can't make it! I totally understand the vacation time-money continuum issue. You coming to Johnson City? My wife and I may be there (her on an 06 VFR) :) All- Very sorry for the lack of posting the second days' route yet. No worries, it's brewing in the couldron...

All- Sorry for the lazy posting, been a bit crazy lately.Thanks for all the good suggestions for lunch. Normally I either pack a lunch or if in the Hocking Hills area Jimbo's is a must for the burgers. Babou...welcome to the collective. U coming? Don't forget to make your reservations for...

BUMP, updated the first post with Day 1 Maps and Ride route. Looking for lunch suggestions near Marietta. THIS IS GOING TO BE A BLAST!!!! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

It's one add'l day off (Mon-Wed instead of Thur-Fri) for out of towners. I guess I didn't feel that would be a problem (perhaps I was wrong). We can have cheap rates or the original dates, but unfortunately not both. I'll tweak my rate schedule for the weekend stay and throw it out there...
