Well, Tomorrow's looking really good. Sunny and close to 50. My biggest problem is I'm NOT a morning person. ;) But I should be at your house Dennis around 6:30. Hopefully I won't have the Irish Flu. :)

That was great!!! Even though my butt is so sore I can barely sit down. I'll have to see about a softer seat for my beast.
Speaking of my beast, man I love that bike. I became a lot more comfortable on it just in that one day, so watch out Doser!
I also gained a lot of respect for XR250's. There a blast to ride (hmmm maybe I can talk my dad into getting one!).
Meeting other DRN'ers was cool. I especially like the part where Bill was drooling over my bike and when Dennis showed us how to adjust mikes truck door. Sorry guys I just couldn't resist! ;) I hope to ride with you again. :)

Ben,
I was just going to post something about that. You mentioned someone in Columbus was selling one. Do you have their name and number? I'm serious about getting that bike. I was Really Impressed. Great ride by the way. I had a really good time. I shouldn't have taken your bike for a ride. I'm crazed right now. :) I just have to figure out how to get one. I was thinking back at how close I was to shooting off the edge of that cliff. That definitely would have sucked! hahaha... Mike's amazing on that XR. I've got to practice my trials skills.
Let me know when you guys want to come down. I'll set up a killer ride.

Thanks for coming up guys. I hope that everyone at least had a good time. It's too bad the others didn't show up. The trails were suprisingly dry except for the main oil road and the trail leading to the rollercoaster. When the weather breaks and the fairweather riders motocross tracks open up, I'd like to get a group motoplay going. SOme locals will rent their tracks by the day.
Looks like Lake Shanengo next weekend...
Bill, keep me posted, I'd like to get to ride somewhere new and let them lead me around for a while!!
By the way, a big hammer readjusted the door, now all I have to do is figure a way to get the big green ODOT sticker off the new one I bought...

As of right now I am waiting to hear back from Robyn. Kevin, her and the boys are interested in going to Shanego. Shanego is located of the Ohio/Pa border so it will be a haul from Columbus.
Slammer, I will let Robyn know that Sunday is best for you.

Mike I hope to off that weekend, if so you can count me in on the ride. Sounds like fun. But I think Cockerton Pa. is the same weekend. Will have to make a choice.

This is all I have found so far on chocheranton.
I did find out that the ride in chocheranton is the 31st and is $20 to sign up. Start time is 8:00am till 1:00 pm. and best of all NO QUADS!!!, they have their own day. You may want to have an APV sticker.
http://www.atving.com/editor/feature/00cochranton/pokerrun.htm
Looking at the numbers say's they are making a killing but the editor makes the people look like goofs. But then again he was talking about the quad riders...
Good luck Bill, hope it is as nice as Ben's...

No one seems to want to go.
Check your mail and give me a call...
As far as the poker run goes, I will more than likely go to the chocheranton run because there will be no quads.

Guess what???? I got to crash 3 times and slammer missed them all. In nearly ten years of riding together you only saw one!! One of those today was WAY to similar to the one you did see except this time the front wheel made it all the way over!!
Ben, next time pick up the phone, it will be more reliable. I didn't get your e-mail till I got home.
GTS658, thanks for the ride. My pinky fingers have blisters from getting pinched between the lever and bark-busters.
That will probably be our last snow ride...
for 8 months...
