SE Ohio Spring Ramble - 3-5 May 2013 - Marietta, Ohio Microtel Inn

[0Face]

Home. Could not have asked for a better weekend. What a great time, except for the roads being so boring.

Where are the pictures?

 

[Bungie]

I think Jim and I are the last to roll in? Left at 6am this morning and rolled in at 7:15pm

Here's my ride report:

Feck YA!

Ouch.

Pics to follow.

 

[road runner]

Mike and I rolled in about 6:00 tonight. Had a great time and good too see you all.

 

[extrememarine]

I think you guys are the last ones in. My RR follows the same general outline except for the 'ouch'. I even got to play in the rain this morning with the chi-town crew.

 

[John d]

I rolled in at 6:45pm after 11 1/2 hours. Had a great time. Loved tearing up those FSB roads with some really good riders. A+++ mini rally.

 

[extrememarine]

Good to see you John and to hear you're home as well.

I think the only traveler still on the road is rayzerman - he should be home tonight I think.

Got home last night at 7:45pm (1060m)...one hr in the rain. Lost about 45 min in a traffic jam. Had a great time seeing/riding with old friends and meeting new ones.

Glad that you came petey. It was great riding with you again.

Im bummed out I missed the ride. Couldnt get off work Friday night even though they didn't need me. Then I figured I could at least make the Ohio Riders Groups ride which was meeting at 11:00., Then my daughter says she wants to spend the day with me..... How can a Dad say no to that? I am going to do some of those routes in the near future.

amishfjr Ed here - returned home to PA Amishland sunday with a seriously worn tire. sorry to miss sunday but was right decision - but missing sunday will bring me back next year. a few pics on my flickr account https://www.flickr.com/photos/edgriffis/ really enjoyed meeting everyone and some again. very happy to see the other ST bikes. groups out east here typically include lots of brands.

if anyone creates an signature icon id be interested. really enjoyed saturday - watching the extreme marine disappear around the curves of SE OH. i hope to see some of you at CATS and DAKS as well as NERDS if things work out. Come east and join us.

Hum. Must've stopped for lunch if you saw it more than once

He does the same thing to me.

 

[extrememarine]

I think you both have my bike confused with another black FJR with a Givi top box and an aerostitch Mr. Happy puppet zip tied to the license plate... There were quite a few in Marietta last weekend...

Yeah...there are people inside that Bucket...nod if you can see 'em...



Yeah, three of my best buds, Wayne/extrememarine, petey, and griff admiring the cleanest bike in the parking lot...



Okay...maybe they weren't...maybe griff is trying to get the replacement bulb into my headlight...



Wayne "laying hands" on my bike...praying that it makes it home...



Four friends coming back from a great mexican dinner. Good hotel spot...lots of restaurants (and beer) nearby...

It was nice to finally meet ya Ray.

 

[Burnspot]

I see how it works...whenever Mark burns out a lightbulb, seek an FJR meet, "enlist" help, and then stand aside.

Thanks for the pics, y'all had fun!
