Adventure in Ohio?

[S2P]

Dox,
Summit racing carries the Rage ramps which is the same as Discount ramps.I copied a link hopefully it works,looks like they are on sale now for $115.00. I checked on one a couple of weeks ago,but didn't go back to get it yet.They had something like 15 at the Tallmadge store from what I remember.

Who was your riding buddy, Ike Turner?

Any of the Tar Hollow boys planning to ride Renfro (May 5/6). Always heard it was an excellent ride and thought I'd head down and at least ride on Saturday.

I have one I would sell for $150 or make me an offier. See the link below for the details. Only used a couple of times and the dust and dirt is free. Should also have the anti-sway bracket with it.

The last couple of years I have started wearing more equipment, but my last spill showed where all my week spots were. 45min. into the day and I was done for the year. Let me know what you have found that works/you like and price, kinda on a tight budget right now.

I've found that when it's hot and humid off-road, accelerated velocity, i.e. - faster helps the cooling process. Yet, at the same time, it compounds the injury levels in the case of a 'mis-hap'. . . Off-road, I'm ATGATT (all of the gear, all of the time), I don't believe there's a sound argument against it (let the onslaught begin. . . ). But, when you're entire body is covered short of a little opening to insert the trach in my neck you're going to SWEAT. And after you've sweated out last night's Yeungling's - it's best to stay hydrated, continuously.

A reasonable summation - the helmet, gloves, knee-pads and, always, moto X boots cover the your most useful extremities. Other than that, if you get thrown down into the ground at 25 mph, you're going to get beat up (as I later read that you did). You fall down, sh*t hurts!

One thing that I did do was take the cheapest jersey I had, cut a mess of 2" holes in it to breath, and then wear that over a chest protector.

Regarding equipment on a budget, keep a steady eye on the GEAR section of ADV site, then select EQUIPMENT. Lot's of bargains if you're patient. A lot of guys cleaning out the garage, up-grading or out-growing their gear. And when you spot it - BUY IT - as it will be gone 30 minutes later.

Good luck with the riding, can't help you with the heat (or the soon to be Ex)....

I would go to Iron Pony and see what they have on clearance. I picked up a Alpinestars jacked with liner for $120 (list was like $269) and I think I paid around 100 for my lid.

Sounds like food for thought - went back country down around London / Renfro some time ago and it WAS GREAT RIDING. I heard recently that some if it is not available, but that shouldn't affect the Dual Sport.

Now I'll start thinking. . . .

Never been to Renfro yet mainly because it is a bit far for a day trip. I'm going to try and do a garage sale this weekend anyways as the KTM is off for some professional maintenance.

I`ve done Renfro Valley many times. Always a good ride if they still use the same stuff. You will be ready for bed at the end of the day. One of the better ones.

Yep, plan on doing that here soon. Thanks

Nice video, not enough film of me pulling wheelies, jumping ravines, climbing rocks, etc. but I guess we just have all the fun at the back of the pack.

Light bike is best. Deep water crossings, rocks, lots of privet land ridden only once a year....if they still do it that way.
