I will be off the Internet for awhile (maybe not if I can carry a laptop on the Gold Wing)
Plan on leaving this morning 9 AM and going to Ride to Marietta Monday then on Tuesday and Wednesday just some local Marietta roads then Thursday, the plan is to head back to the Cincinnati area.
There is supposed to be 9 Gold Wings at the Super 8 unless they messed up the reservations.
See ya when I get back. I have lead group rides here for the past few years except last year when I was in the hospital with A-Fib and a pacemaker.

Yes - he wants to meet around Logan - I told him that it would be better to have lunch at Bob Evans around noon thirty before we head east. I have Maury D, Mike B, Mike R, Rich H, Willie P, Dill D and Paul with me and Dave C will make 9... Hope it warms up of Dave is not gonna like it. ;D

Wahoo Bob - you do not ever need an invitation... I posted on the GL1800 site Ohio section and Fabracator saw it. Well he stopped by here since his wife works nearby. We chatted for awhile and at 6:30 we left for dinner and he had to go get his wife.
Tomorrow, I am letting a friend of mine lead us back west with the route I took 2 years ago. PAPAW Dave will split heading up RT 60 riding home to Amanda.
Anytime we ride anywhere as a group, or meet up for a group ride - YOU and ANYONE on this board is welcome to ride ... as for the "other" site with the arachnid ... nope. Consider this an open invitation... this was an unofficial "stag" ride with the women folk staying at home in the kitchen making food for when we get back. (We'll be hungry)
Great riding here. Will hope to do it again - either in the spring or October 2013!
WE had a BMW, a Triumph Tiger and 7 Gold Wings - all makes are welcome. WE do not care what anyone rides - as long as they ride.
Later...

Thanks RR. I had a busy week at work so I could not have gone anyway.
I was just busting your chops..... I need a sarcasm font.
Safe journeys my friend.

Thanks for the invitation RR, it's much appreciated. After seeing the photos of your group, I'm certain any of this group would fit right in.
Good to hear you are having a good ride.

That's a good looking group in the bucket RR. Rt536 is not very far from Alliance, maybe an hour and a half.
Nice pics !
