Has anyone been to the Vintage Days event in Ohio? I am thinking about riding out there next year. My uncle lives in Illinois and said he would meet me. Thanks.

Don't know about the event but I do know this;

Ohio is to motorcycle riding what Juneau is to skinny dipping.

My idea of a long ride on my vintage bike is 30 miles.

But I do have a trailer for it......

Yeah, but the ride could be nice. Pick up a gallon of milk while you are there so you can say the ride was for SOMEthing...

The ride TO Ohio can be great. Just not IN Ohio. Take rt 50 to Parkersburg, fantastic. However, it is OVER right there.

30 years ago...I used to ride back and forth between MD and central Indiana somewhat regularly (college). Including all the way across Ohio, of course. Not a fun ride...by any standard.

To make it worse...I did it once on a Yamaha RD400 that I adapted a Vetter fairing on to the front of.:whistle: Anyone remember the little Eyetalian guy on the screaming 2-stroke in the movie "Gumball Rally"?

I am not sure if this qualifies you as The Man or The Dumb Ass...Endless hours, what, 7,000 rpm's??? Must have felt like riding a dental drill...

And hey...it was the only wheels I owned at the time. :whistle:


btw..did you know that if you mount a full-size fairing on the front of a lightweight little crotch rocket like an RD400...that it completely kills the performance of the bike, especially at highway speeds? I didn't know that either..before.....

I am guessing it was sort of like putting deflated basket balls on the front of water skis: helped with the spray a bit...
