298-today from Athens, OH to just outside Butler,PA. Full run on the Ohio Triple Nickel. You better bring your “A” game to ride this run. Because it can get sideways real fast on you.
Leaving from just outside Butler PA to pound the slab back to Syracuse and try and beat the approaching rain.
Mile Zero

We did 462 today. Just hit hotel in Cambridge, Ohio at 6:30. Headed to the Ohio Windy 9 down around Athens, OH. I been meaning to do it since I read about it in the AMA Magazine back in 2017.
Left Syracuse at 9 a.m. Turned south around Erie, PA. Then thru to Youngstown.
All slab except for Ohio 22 after it gets down to two lanes was nothing but twisties 45-90-degree turns!
Reckon that 450 ride was my limit to be honest. Got unpleasant at the end and not just for the rain. Don’t think my back would want to do it again.
Took this picture when I got back to the house, just shy of 15,000 miles on the 1200. It had slightly over 11,000 on it when I bought it back in late December.
Not a ton of miles, but it hasn't gathered any dust either.
450-today from West Kittanning, PA up to the 79 interstate trying to beat the weather. But we rolled the dice and did PA 62 over to PA 6. In Galeton, we turned north on the 349 to get outta light rain. Hit 15-mins of torrential rain on the PA 49 near Cowanesque Lake. Once we crossed back into NYS on Interstate 15 towards Corning, all dry.
1450-total for the four dats to and from the Ohio Windy 9 and the Triple Nickel (555).
We briefly visited the "scene of the crime" in Butler, PA.
Zero miles in the past 2 weeks and it's driving me nuts. Been in Italy for the past 10 days but I'll still have 4 days vacation when I get back so hoping to get a few rides in anyway. Only saw 2 Road Kings and 2 Sportster while here. The urban areas are not very conducive to larger motorcycles. Interesting to watch the scooters weave in and out of traffic though. Thought I would have seen at least one accident but it's kind of a controlled chaos I suppose.
95 mile round trip, went solely for the burger and cowboy bites.
If anyone from WI is looking, The Dump in Cambria WI is absolutely fantastic. Cash only.
I've been to "The Dump", it's about 85 miles from my Central Wisconsin location (Plover). I've always parked on the main drag out front.
Do Street Glides get preferred parking at the rear entrance?
