ninjadoc Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 This was the dream ride we put together, inspite of bad weather forecast half of the expected count showed up. While doing this i was wondering may be some day VFRD will decide to visit ohio, many many beautiful roads here to take advantage of. And stay in some amish area with good home meals and then ride around. some day i will be able to make it out for the VFRD event and then hopefully make an even better video for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer YoshiHNS Posted October 20, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted October 20, 2012 Looks like a good gang. Still a fair sized group of riders. Most of ohio still doesn't have too much to offer as far as technical roads. I haven't found anything really worthwhile within a 2hr radius of cleveland. We have some nice easy cruising roads, but nothing to really challenge your riding ability. And what there is, it's 1 or 2 turns long. South of 70 looks better, but might as well make a run to the border if you're coming all the way north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjadoc Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 True nothing up north, every thing is down south, very nice roads and lots of technical stuff as well As you said all below 70 and o. Either side of 77 a mix of different terrains We took our ride over there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda the same over here in Indiana.....have to be an hour south of Indy for anything resembling fun twisties :) I'll have to get over to "the good side" of ohio next year. BTW - What was that huge basket at 2:08???? A freakily obsessed basket collectors house or something? Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer project94vfr Posted October 24, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted October 24, 2012 Lived in Athens, Ohio while attending school. Their are some amazing roads in southern OH, hocking hills area especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum CEO HispanicSlammer Posted October 24, 2012 Forum CEO Share Posted October 24, 2012 What is that saying in the movie "Build it and they will come" - vfrd is pretty loose group of local folks who put on their own events and hopefully more people come as the years go by - thats how Tmac started, thats how the Catskills ride started, it just takes somebody willing to do some leg work to put the thing together. Some events flounder, some get bigger, some just keep plugging away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want challenging twisty roads get yourself south of Cambridge (OH) You won't be out of third gear for several days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Have been hoping for time and weather to spend a day or weekend to go explore down there, but never got the time. Rt 26 was one of the roads I was looking at too.

DaveM Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Put it together. There are a couple of us over here in the Indy area that will come over. I've always heard there were good roads over in that part of the state but have been hesitant to burn a weekend to just explore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoxmole Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 VFRD has BEEN in Ohio for a long time. . . I was forced to hold down the Toledo contingent for a long time. Hell, I had to go north to Michigan to find some people from here to ride with! Just saying, northern Ohio is not the place to find VFRD members. If you can set up something on a weekend before it snows, I'll be there! I know a couple other members over that direction too. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjadoc Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 man, i wish i knew this much interest was there even before, may be its too late for this season. I personally know around 5-6 VFR right around northeast who i ride with most often. the possible weekend i see is the next weekend which might be too early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Just saw this Doc, I am game for a big ride next year for sure. "I was in the fast group in the video but my cam chain tensioners were bad so I borrowed a friends ninja 636" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer mello dude Posted November 14, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted November 14, 2012 Just for a heads up - I follow a Valkyrie forum for my other style of riding. They are having an Ohio meet based in Cambridge and will take over SE Ohio for multple day trips - June 18 to June 23. Um, might want to avoid those dates. I havent riden with any of them, but most are "touring" style riders. Dont wanna get caught in a crowd of a couple hundred graybeard Valkyrie "thrashers."
