Hi all. Followed xsYamahadg over here from the RoadRUNNER forum. Have ridden in Ohio a fair bit and intend to do more. It's pretty close for us as we live on the border near Sarnia, Ont. The worst part is having to ride thru Detroit to get there. I'm 46 and have been riding for 22 years, have an 86 Harley Softail I've put over 170,000 miles on and added a 04 DL650 VStrom to the stable this spring. Mr. Footloose has a VStrom also and he started riding 7 years ago when he met me. We did a short ride today-about 120 miles. The winds were just brutal! But it was a beautiful, warm fall day, had to get out. Looking forward to some more Ohio riding.....

Welcome Footloose! Did you ever take a ferry across the lake?

A photo of the VStrom and I on our last trip to Ohio....a Mail Pouch barn near Marietta.

There is no ferry across Lake Erie or Huron but sometimes we take the ferry across the St. Clair River from Sombra, ON to Marine City, Mi. It doesn't save us any time but it is a more scenic route and a kinda neat thing to do.

And my beloved Harley...owned for over 20 years. So I've learned how to load photos to Photobucket and post photos in my message using the instructions from this site but for the life of me, I haven't been able to figure out how to do an avatar. I resized a photo to avatar size but it won't load. Help?

for Avatar enter 'none' ( i know its confusing) then put the url address for YOUR avatar in the Avatar URL box and put in a size up to 100 x 100 pixels

Hey footloose !! Glad to have you on board ! That's a good looking Harley, not only do we have Harley riders here, but we have V-Strom riders as well. I think you will find out we have a good mix of bikes and a good group of people. Again, welcome to Ride Ohio, we look forward to seeing you on the road.
BTW, Road Runner magazine and forum is first class isn't it.

Welcome aboard, footloose. It's great to see another girl around! We have a DL650 too. In fact, it looks like your's twin. Although we ride 2 up on ours, I am planning to start riding more on my own next year.

Hey Vstrom2up, haven't I seen you around Stromtrooper.com? ;D
If my bike is a twin to yours then we've got triplets 'cause Mr. Footlooses bike is exactly the same too. Same year, colour and less than 300 bikes apart from coming off the assembly line from mine. We both bought our bikes in Michigan, a year apart.

It's triplets! Ours is even an 04 too.
I haven't posted on Stromtrooper. I just found out about the site last summer and waste enough time on the forum. I'm afraid if I started posting there, my house would eventually be condemned from neglect. Maybe this winter when there's not so much to do I'll have to join in on a chat there.
