  • SWOHXS ride 4/15/12

    We have a small group of us XS riders in south west oh and do mancave,lunches and chat a lot.This past sunday we had a nice ride put together by DGXSER..Walmart to Walmart..might as well shop while on a ride

    Hit the three d button and you will see the ride.
    Don and I were there on time:-) We thought well just the two of us,so we give it 1/2 hour,hit the Burger King for the restroom and then DougII shows up..he found an Ohio State Patrol airplane that clocked him at 82 in a 65,we believe the excuse,so we waited a couple more minutes and then took off,here comes an XS and a Kaw rider....yuppers they are with us so we head out..






    We started out on some twisties and then some flat roads to make our way to Brookville IN, it was kinda windy but not a real problem as it was a warm day.Brookville,while not a stop on this ride is a nice,typical I wanna live here type of town.This video is not the greatest but it is soo home spun..

    We worked our way up RT 52 to Metamora In,a tourist town but rich in history,a nice stop to socialize and take a break.

    I have never seen the canal like this before,must be doing repairs on the locks..






    After our break we headed down to Batesville IN via 229,a nice road,hadn't been on it in a couple of years. We stopped for lunch but regretafully our Kaw rider Steve had to leave,mom was pretty sick so he did the right thing.
    Well we wiggled and waggled our way back to our starting point. Two of our riders had never been on Buffalo Ridge road here in Cincinnati...that road got a
    It was nice to get 120 years of motorcycles together,three other riders from our group could not make it.
    Nice weather,nice bikes and company,four wheelers stayed away from us,three turtles crossing the road made it,buzzards eating a road kill rabbit got out of our way,a little gravel....typical GREAT ride on an XS
