Ohhh! The sheetz on 59 near Gabriel Brothers. Yeah I know where that is. That's not too far from some friends of mine. I can do that.

August 28th, 2012, 12:11 PM

That sheetz is literally less then a 5 minute drive from me

. If everyone can do sunday I can DEFINITELY go. I can bring my gopro and get some good footage of everyone riding!

choneofakind · August 28th, 2012, 02:45 PM

Sooo Saturday or Sunday? Either works for me, just lemme know what's going on.

Who's all going again?

nautica · August 28th, 2012, 02:58 PM

Either works for me, guess we'll see what the weather looks like.

Also, for anyone local I have a set of kawasaki spools if you want them.

choneofakind · August 28th, 2012, 02:59 PM

Brett, Me, and You potentially so far. No news from any of the other guys tagged.

nautica · August 28th, 2012, 04:34 PM

Surprised no one else has chimed in. The seasons coming closer to an end so I'm getting as much riding in as I can.

RiderOnTheStorm · August 28th, 2012, 05:27 PM

I'm going out of town this weekend... I'm sorry everyone! Ride safe without me!

August 28th, 2012, 06:22 PM

If the weather is clear and you guys can do Sunday lets do it then! But i'll understand if you guys have to go Saturday. I'll be there in spirit if it doesn't work out for me

csmith12 · August 28th, 2012, 08:41 PM

How did I miss the SE ohio update, I can make one of these if the timing is right.

nautica · August 29th, 2012, 03:30 AM

So far Saturday is partly cloudy and Sunday is a chance of rain.

How far are you from the closest point on the map?

csmith12 · August 29th, 2012, 04:32 AM

oh wow... 5 hours, not quite SE enough.

But your getting closer to a trip to WV that I wanna take.

nautica · August 29th, 2012, 04:53 AM

Yeah 5 hours is quite a hike. What's the wv route?

August 29th, 2012, 08:41 AM

Only 20% chance of rain on Sunday. This will be awesome!

BTW, do we have a route decided going from Sheetz?

csmith12 · August 29th, 2012, 09:01 AM

A variant of the below route. I want to end up in the Monongahela National Forest Park for some whitewater action. Thinking a weekend camping trip.

Yeah I posted it on the last page I believe. Pretty much take 14 to 45 to get to the route I posted.

"

That looks fun and isn't much further south than where we'll be, but that's a long route.

csmith12 · August 29th, 2012, 09:20 AM

200 miles is long? I dunno... I call it a good day.

If I am going to slab 5+ hours to ride, I gotta make it worth my while ya know.

nautica · August 29th, 2012, 10:47 AM

No I meant the route would be long on top of ours, and slabbing 5 hours is crazy ha.

choneofakind · August 29th, 2012, 10:47 AM

I vote since Cody is chomping at the bit for sunday, we do it sunday.

Anyone second the notion?

Sorry we're not heading south enough for ya Chris, it would be awesome to have you with us on our humble little ride.

nautica · August 29th, 2012, 12:48 PM

Sunday might work but I'm not sure if I have plans for the air show or not, gotta check and see.

August 29th, 2012, 02:07 PM

Hey don't let me screw everything up, if you guys gotta go saturday its no biggy

choneofakind · August 29th, 2012, 02:09 PM

nautica hurry up with figuring out your plans yo!!! I'll be heading home on friday afternoon, and I have terrible internet access there, so pretty much whatever we decide on by friday around about 1:00 is what I'll be going by on saturday morning

nautica · August 29th, 2012, 02:47 PM

Cody, any chance you can ride before going to painesville or is it all day?

Chris, PM me your number so if it's still in the air (hopefully not) then I can contact you.

choneofakind · August 29th, 2012, 05:25 PM

PM'd

choneofakind · August 29th, 2012, 07:18 PM

@csmith12, I think you might recognize the cat in this video. His lines are gorgeous through the keyhole and the carosel

Link to original page on YouTube.

csmith12 · August 29th, 2012, 09:18 PM

Yea, that's Chris Holbert aka Preditor, because of the long dreds hanging out of his helmet. He is one crazy sob but sure knows how to ride. He coaches at Mid-o every time it's open to bikes. You meet his partner in crime Eric aka Monger (the coach who loaned me the back protector).

His lines though the keyhole and carousel are silkly smooth and did you notice he apexes those turns twice, at the start of the rumble strips and near the end, not in the middle. It's one big curve but he double apexes because of his line and hooking back in after letting the bike swing wide under power.

choneofakind · August 30th, 2012, 07:46 AM

Ah yeah Eric seemed nice. I prolly should have spent a little more time talking with him. Oh well, I got plenty of time talking with the control rider I was assigned to (i forget his name)

and yes, I saw that

I will be attempting to copy those lines on my 250 next time, now that I know the track a little bit. I was getting the Carousel more often than the Keyhole because it didn't have the off-camber or the rough patch, but towards the end of the day, I nailed the double apex a few times.

GAAHH!! now I'm thinking about the track again...

csmith12 · August 30th, 2012, 08:06 AM

fyi, the keyhole is not off-camber. I thought this too until I WALKED out on the track. Even though you can't tell, it has a nice slight camber. They fixed the rough spot too.

Also, Imma update the mid-o thread!

choneofakind · August 30th, 2012, 10:05 AM

no way!!! that was totally leaning outwards as you exit!

For real?? now I'm confused. It totally banked outwards a little as you exit... huh.

\

EDIT!!! I think I put that post in the wrong thread.

I had the ohio threads open and posted them in the wrong one!! gaahhh sorry guys, I didn't mean for all this useless banter. We'll continue this in the mid-ohio thread

choneofakind · August 30th, 2012, 10:08 AM

Back on topic, I'm cool with my parents to be out either day. Soooooo that means this weekend looks like a nice little NE Ohio ninjette.org ride!!!

August 30th, 2012, 10:48 AM

Well, I wont be back on Saturday until later in the day so that's a no go for me, you guys decide which day. I'll go on a ride of my own on sunday if I can't make it saturday

choneofakind · August 30th, 2012, 10:49 AM

I vote for sunday then if we can include Cody since he lives right there.

you're so kind

btw, I saw some random routes someone posted, but do we have one set in stone yet?

choneofakind · August 30th, 2012, 10:59 AM

My plan was to follow Nautica's back wheel since he knows the route

nautica · August 30th, 2012, 01:03 PM

I know part of the route but some of it I didn't get to. But I'll have it in my phone and written down so we can't get lost. But ideally Saturday would be best for me since my fiancee wants to do airshow Sunday which sucks..

August 30th, 2012, 01:07 PM

Go Saturday guys! Especially because it might run sunday, and i dont wanna **** everyone over lol

choneofakind · August 30th, 2012, 01:10 PM

ight, well then Saturday it is!

Brett, I'll meet you at that Sheetz at 8:30-ish (I'm always a few minutes late) and then we can gas up and head out

Cody, we can ride later sometime later, even if it's just for a cruise. Here's to hoping that it's not too cold over thanksgiving, because I have a whole week off then.

nautica · August 30th, 2012, 05:54 PM

Sounds good. Johnny (jarnar I believe on here) may join us Saturday as well.

choneofakind · August 30th, 2012, 05:57 PM

Woot!!!! you know the rules of groups. Just take roads at a sane speed so that no one gets left behind. I know these will be new roads for me, so I'll be keeping my throttle in check, but you know the basics; braking/signaling in advance, staggering, checking back for the rest of the group, etc.

RiderOnTheStorm · August 30th, 2012, 05:59 PM

Ride safe!
