I was born in Hamilton but haven't been up there in 30 years. Hows it changed if any? Cincinatti was a fav on the weekends there, as was the fair grounds in Fairbanks or fairfield? I can't remember which one it's called.

well, right now it looks like the wife and i will be working at the Louie Run this year. we maybe working in the parking lot, helping park the the bikes. which is kindda cool, this way we get to see all the bikes that come in.

but if we don't work it, then we will go on the run. but i don't know where we would start from. if we don't work it and go on the run maybe we could meet/start out your way? if that sounds like a plan, just let me know where you'd like to start/meet, from/at.

i also have to get my tags for the bike, maybe this weekend. i've been riding the wife's bike and i think she's been dropping hints that it's time for me to ride my own. her bike is a lot fun to ride, but i still miss my vn750!

Yep but he never looked back. They held many celebrations in his honor. He never attended one. Makes you think huh. I always liked Dean and his movies with ole what's his name. Was it Jerry? And his times on Rowen and Martin.

Been there quite a few times, your Autozone is better stocked than the one in East Liverpool. We camp and offroad just north of you at Yellow Creek / Wellsville. If you know the offroad area you'll know why we had to make frequent trips for parts:rockon:.

Yep! Quad or dune buggy? Or dirt bike?

At one time I used to ride dirt bikes, but I no longer heal as fast as I used to. My toy of choice for the past several years has been a Cherokee. I used to drive it out there but over the years it's no longer street legal. Heck the last time I drove it on the the street was 3 year ago.I had to take a friend with a slight finger amputation to East Liverpool Hospital and Veternary Clinic. Drove north bound rt 7 passing a south bound trooper. If he would of made a U-y he could of written something like 28 tickets. Still wheelin it.
Currently building a buggy. I'm about 1/4th of the way done. Don't know if I want to build a 1914 or a suby in it.
My brother and a bunch of buds have buggys. Max adrenilin.
I have a couple of small quads for my grand kids. When my Jeep unrepairably breaks I'll ride them.
Here's a Wellsville video of family and friends. All shot taken by my neice. My brothers buggy is at the begining and throught. My XJ is the white one on the side and a few other shots.

Nice its looking like Ohio is racking up some members. Well the bike fired right up the other day but need to replace the battery due to a little bit of corrosion, and replace a broken wire so the head light will work.

Anyways most of us are relatively close and should try to post and meet up for some runs/rides.

Been laid off myself since the beginning of February, but the time off is nice.
Had an interview yesterday, so just gotta wait to see how that goes.

Great flea market there!!! Just about anything you want can be found with a bit of looking!!!
I was there a couple weeks ago with a friend, at the hay auction.
The first rain ride I took on my Vulcan was to the flea market.
Luckily, there was a woman selling raincoat material type Dusters.
Put it to good use on the 40 or so mile ride home

bj good luck with that wet cell. 3 years is about all you should get out of a wetcell. (so I've been told.) that's all I got out of the one I had in my honda
cm400t.

as for the Louie run? to tell you the truth, I'm not sure what is going on. we haven't bought tickets yet (not sure if are even going to) my vn750 is still not up and running yet. due to no tags and I'm working on getting new grips. the vn750 could use a new rear tire too. (which will be replaced very soon)
but right now all the extra time and $ is going into the wifes new vulcan 500.
she needs a rear tire too!
I still need to talk to the wife and see what we are going to do for the run. as for buying a ticket? you only really need one if you want to get into the fairgrounds. I'm not sure if she wants to go to the fairgrounds or not.

we were ask by some friends to ride with them. they start at somebody house that every year has a big breakfast bash and then they go on a nice ride. but our friends don't end up going into the fairgrounds. they end up going to some bar instead.
