ragtop69gs Posted May 3, 2015 #176 Posted May 3, 2015 23 and territorial is right by my house. Either place is good with me. I'm sure it would work good for Puc and everyone else, it's a little out of the way for Larry & Joyce but he has the new toy and is looking for reasons to put (s)miles on.
eagleeye Posted May 3, 2015 #177 Posted May 3, 2015 Looks like about 170 miles from Puc's to 23 & territorial on the slab, but it's still a ways away yet.
ragtop69gs Posted May 3, 2015 #178 Posted May 3, 2015 Looks like about 170 miles from Puc's to 23 & territorial on the slab, but it's still a ways away yet. So about an hour and 15 minutes then?
eagleeye Posted May 3, 2015 #179 Posted May 3, 2015 So about an hour and 15 minutes then? Hey, I'll be riding with a guy who is riding one of those first gens, so please give us a little more time.

We will keep ya posted. Checking motels now. Darrin, ALRIGHT!!! Been wanting to meet you for a LONG TIME!! Hey,, if your leaving on Friday maybe, maybe you folks could hook up with EagleEye and I and ride over to meet Rickardracing, and on over to meet the east side bunch and then we can have a great big VR parade to Don's!!! Is that kinda what you had in mind?
cowpuc Posted May 7, 2015 #184 Posted May 7, 2015 Reading about BkntheSaddle's broken balance shaft reminded me of something that happened to me years ago.. I wrote an article about the adventure and it got published in a trail rider magazine, took about 5 issues of the rag for em to complete it (lots of folks dont know this but I tend to be a little long winded, even in my writings).. Anyway, the story involved driving a semi for a Movie Star/TV actor, driving an unrestored, barely runable 1959 Studio Truck used by Hollywood to haul equipment to Kanab Utah for filming of Gunsmoke to Michigan, making friends with a Mexican who snuck into the States (took 4 trys) who achieved citizenship and is now a multi millionaire, getting invited by a group of guys to dirt ride the Piute Mountains in Cali, a broken balance shaft on a KTM 400 22 miles inside of those mountains, leaving the bike and walking 22 miles out of the mountains. If the owners of the Pond Palace allow story telling and if anyone is bored while sitting around the campfire and would like to hear the story, short version - medium version or full version. Just ask me about it.. My hands are in pretty rough shape with Dupuytren's but the disease hasnt effected my ability to speak (or two finger type)
Flyinfool Posted May 7, 2015 #185 Posted May 7, 2015 Is there a way of typing other than 2 fingers????? :confused24:
cowpuc Posted May 7, 2015 #186 Posted May 7, 2015 Is there a way of typing other than 2 fingers????? :confused24: Ahhh yea,, dem toe's dont work dat bad... Fingers fir countin, toes fir typin....
rickardracing Posted May 7, 2015 #187 Posted May 7, 2015 Cowpuc......what time are you thinking you will be in my area? Not sure what time Jay and John are thinking. I know we usually head out pretty early.
DarrinGT Posted May 7, 2015 #188 Posted May 7, 2015 Darrin, ALRIGHT!!! Been wanting to meet you for a LONG TIME!!

Is that kinda what you had in mind? Same here Puc, Yes we would look into meeting the Michigan Contingent if the timing works out. Were pretty flexible on when we take off, just dont want to run highways all the way, Were more back roads kinda peeps...
ragtop69gs Posted May 7, 2015 #189 Posted May 7, 2015 Our route is mostly rural Ohio route 2 most of the way east not far off the shore of Lake Erie, with a few miles of interstate. 3 1/2 hours drive time plus stops.
cowpuc Posted May 8, 2015 #190 Posted May 8, 2015 Just got off the phone with Eagle Eye. He gave me permission to speak for both of us (really smart guy ). We wanna try to hook up with Rickardracing and than over to meet up with Raggie's bunch - both surrendering to riding the ickspressway for this trip if needed. Be glad to make a stop in GR to meet up with Darrin on the way. What we need now is some kind of an idea on times - so, Raggie, name a Rally point and a time to be there (in hour's, military time is ok - we're pretty savvy me and Eagle Eye)..
adventurer 08 Posted May 8, 2015 #191 Posted May 8, 2015 Did we meet at exit 15 truck stop at about 10? Or earlier for breakfast? Just after rush hour traffic will work for me.
ragtop69gs Posted May 8, 2015 #192 Posted May 8, 2015 I can meet at either place. It is exit 15 at the TA/BP truck stop. As for time, that would depend on what time Scott & Steve could be where ever we decide to meet.
pbjman Posted May 8, 2015 #193 Posted May 8, 2015 :biker::biker::biker: I might invite myself into this gang to tag along.....depends on some work stuff. But I really wanna!

As for time, that would depend on what time Scott & Steve could be where ever we decide to meet. How's this sound gang, lets plan exit 15 on I 75 at 10:30 with a minimal 11am departure from exit 15 for elbow room.. That way, if - God forbid - something should come up health wise or other and someone cant make it the rest are on their way.. If we get there and decide to have a late breakfast/early lunch and dont get out of there till Noon, thats cool too.. Anyone know if that will give us sufficient time to make Oberlin by Dinner time at that Lube/Oil and Filter joint? I know it would be plenty for Steve and I but not knowing where who ever is leading the parade takes us (Oberlin via Huntsville?) - just double checking, I personally dont wanna miss having Chicken fried in 15w40. Thoughts?

So,, your planning on working are ya when your spose to be riding with your friends... Ok,, just a minute here,, I read something a while ago that fits right in here,, cant find it,, it was something about how even God himself laughs at our plans Arent I terrible,, sorry PB,, would LOVE to ride with ya bro!!
adventurer 08 Posted May 8, 2015 #196 Posted May 8, 2015 :biker::biker::biker: I might invite myself into this gang to tag along.....depends on some work stuff. But I really wanna! Let me know what your plans are if you want to ride together. By the way we are thinking about staying there on Sunday and going to the Rock& Roll Hall of Fame, and coming home on Monday, not sure yet.

rickardracing Posted May 9, 2015 #198 Posted May 9, 2015 Ok, here is the poop. It is 57.5 mile from Territorial Rd and US23 to Exit 15 (TA Travel Monroe). Clear traffic will take an hour. So Cowpuc, you will need to hit the Sunoco Station at the Territorial exit by 9:00- 9:30am. We get on the road after meeting with Jay and group by 11am, we will have plaenty of time to get to Oberlin for dinner. Now I am not sure if John and Sandy are going to go get their room in Elyria before Oberlin or not. I am staying at the same place. We can judge that when we get closer to Oberlin. So do we want to make this concrete? Meet by 9:30 at Territorial and then head to Exit 15?

Some good news today that very .very possibly will put Tippy on Tweeks with me for MD - yeeeeehawwww:thumbsup:. For that to happen though, it will mean a later departure time from our home here in Muskegon on Friday morning. I am waiting for Raggie to jingle me back on the land line, trying to see how much time we will need between Exit 15 and Dons - should know more about possibilities of - how/if we will fit into the group ride in just a bit!! If it doesnt work for us to ride with you guys over there - SAVE US FOOD AT THE OIL CHANGE PLACE MR. RICKARD ---- PLEASE!!
Yammer Dan Posted May 9, 2015 #200 Posted May 9, 2015 Tell Tippy we ain't letting you in if she don't come....... Then Bubs sure sound sweet. I nailed it on that one.
