500 club? anyone?

Looking for someone to ride with in the spring. I'm moving from St. Louis and will be in Cincinnati by the end of March. I'm looking at a place in Fairfield. Am I close to anyone else? Let me know.

05GS500f,
Glad that we will have you aboard. Not too far from Fairfield, there are some VERY good roads west of there, as "Mello" and I will testify. When you get settled, be in touch with us on the Forum and we will share some excellent bike venues with you!

Hey, since this is the cincinnati thread, I was just wondering how the University is down there because I am considering going to college there. Then you will be stuck with me. Oh yeah, I forgot, freshmen don't get to have a car (which I assume that my GS falls under this catagory)

EvilScooby · February 21, 2006, 09:14:07 PM

I'll ride with you guys when it warms up. I am out in Harrison and cruise around Indiana and out in Oxford all the time. I sold my GS last year but I have a Honda Shadow now, cant take the curvies like my ole GS.

I also hang out with these guys at Freeriders, they are local Ohio/KY peeps

^^Right on...I actually rode today and ended up in harrison. I rode harrison all the way from glenway. then went back 74 to rybolt.

EvilScooby · February 21, 2006, 09:25:57 PM

It did start to get kinda nice out this afternoon, I dont have any winter gear so I dont do much riding in the winter.

I was wanting to get out this weekend but I am hearing snow in the forecast

melloGS · February 21, 2006, 11:47:54 PM

I'll be riding tomorrow...after i got home i noticed i had a staple or nail in my rear tire...going to cyclespecialties tomorrow morning to get a new tire, on the house, due to my wheel and tire protection plan

melloGS · February 25, 2006, 11:20:08 PM

Riding tomorrow, er today the 26th...hit me up, lets ride

Mr.7 · February 27, 2006, 06:17:23 AM

I guess nobody went

pnaberhaus · February 27, 2006, 09:40:53 AM

Went for a brief ride on Friday, really enjoyed all the salt that lies on the roads and what the cooler temps do for tire elasticity. Stopped at the dealer and ordered a set of Sport Demons and bought a new 3-season riding jacket. Sunday's temps were 10 degrees cooler, so knowing my tires get harder as the temps drop and that there is still too much loose crap on the roads, I wussed out and left the GS tucked in the garage.

melloGS · February 27, 2006, 10:27:42 PM

I rode to fairfield, met up with a rider, then rode to erlanger to meet up with four more...then rode to rabbithash...one guy wasn't dressed prepared and turned around...

good turnout sunday...

pnaberhaus · March 21, 2006, 07:31:25 AM

Mel,
Thanks for the update. A decent turnout indeed, 'specially considering the temps weren't all that great. As I posted before, had to work again Sunday

. It looks, from your pic, that you had an eclectic mix of bikes. Sport bikes, I see a "Tourer", a chopper, and who knows what else. Do you all ride together, or do you break out in groups based on bike type, riding styles, pace, or destination preferences?
Thanks for keeping the rest of us posted. Hope to get my new tires mounted soon and plan on having a "golden oldie" (my '89 GS and me) join your troupe!

melloGS · March 22, 2006, 09:18:55 PM

Pnaeber your in like flint with your GS! I have the smallest sportbike of the group so far...there are other guys that have ninja 500s but are yet to show...I really hope you can make this coming sunday's ride. It's my 'anderson ferry' ride.
As for how the group rides? Last sunday's ride was the official first ride of the year and the biggest turnout yet. the touring bike was a kawasaki, and then there were three other cruiser harleys and an amazing 'beatles' custom painted bike, and three rat bikes...people got left behind due to lack of communication and knowledge of riding in groups, because some of us are speed freaks...My ride will be different cause i have the spotlight and will inform people of how to ride in the group...
I've incorperated e miami river rd and buffalo ridge in my ride!!
hope to see all of you locs there!
Rideonl

Heya, new to the forums, going to buy a GS500 from a dealer on Tuesday. I live in Adam's County now (a bit east of Eastgate) but I'm in Cincinnati all the time. I moved out here from Oxford and have family in Millville and Ross, so I know all the roads too. I'd love to get in one a few rides, as would my friends I know (although they've got 650s and will be blowing past me constantly I'm sure).

Nice to meet some Cinci people.

pnaberhaus · March 25, 2006, 11:35:03 AM

Solaron,
Welcome to the GS Forum. Nice to have another GS poster aboard. Mello seems to ride a lot, regardless of the temps, and has kept the Forum posted. I work virtually every weekend and 3 nights a week, so I never seem to have a whole lot of free time. I live in Loveland in Clermont County and Mello lives on the westside. Maybe some Sunday we can meet up on the eastside somewhere and head west and link up w/Mello. The Forum here seems to be a good clearinghouse for determining whose going where, and when. I'm still waiting for my new tires to come in and I'm anxious to "break them in" and get a feel for them before I do some serious riding.
