Cincinnati Area Dual Sport Group

DYNOBOB · 01-23-2012, 11:10 PM

Hi all.

Thought I’d start this thread to make others aware of our local group of dual sport enthusiasts. Right now we get together on the third Thursday of the month at Golden Corral behind Bass Pro Shop at 6pm. Nothing formal, we talk about our bikes, plan some rides, compare farkles, etc (we had 15-20 attend last time). Some lean sport touring, some dirt…all are welcome and we have folks from Northern KY to Dayton participating. There's a shared spreadsheet of names, emails, and what you ride, if you want to be added PM me or inmate Dualsport. Props to Dualsport for really spreading the word about our group in the area!

So…use this thread to check in, post pics of your bike, links to your RR, share a vid of a buds get off, or whatever. :)

Ride on!

Thanks for the thread Bob. This could be a good place for us to share our route sheets as well.
I'll talk to a few of the guys and see if we can get them linked.

BTW I'm calling on a 690 Adventure R this morning. Couldn't sleep last night. I was like a little kid waiting for Santa.

edit... KTM sold over the weekend...

Thanks for this new effort, Clarke. Everytime I go to an outing like this and learn about a good product
I end up spending money. Anyway, at our table I learned about Heidenau tires. I found a local distributor,
Heindl Engineering in Eaton, OH. He has my size in the K60 Scouts and I'll be a bit lighter in cash.
I read about the K60's on ADVrider and everyone loves them, How about 8-10,000 miles on a duel sport
tire ! It's rated as a 50/50 tire. Heindl will mount and balance, but, I'd make sure they are balanceable.

Hey you Weiner - I sell Heidenau as well. And I'm a heck of a lot more local and cheaper.

Yes, I can balance them.

Welcome Clarke. Actually we helped you save money by buying a long lasting tire...yeah, that's it, we're saving you money...

Just signing in to say hi. I wish I could make the 3rd Thursday meetings, but that is my kids scout meeting night. Hopefully I will be able to make some as we get closer to riding season.

Great Idea!

Always check Adventure in Ohio and Northeast Ohio site, now get another one.

Can't do Thursdays.

Will use this thread to keep up

Hello Group,

I have been to a couple of the Thursday night meeting but have not ridden with anyone from the group in the dirt,
maybe soon that will change.

HAWKWIND · 01-24-2012, 02:02 PM

Great idea Bob, I had fun last Thursday. Talking to different bike owners is helping me on my quest for the perfect bike.

Dualsport · 01-24-2012, 02:05 PM

When you find the "perfect" bike...PLEASE let me know what it is.

patmo · 01-24-2012, 02:32 PM

Ray and others,,,,,,,,

Sounds like fun. I work in Florence until 6 on Thursdays but if you don't mind me showing up late I'll try to make it next time.
