The Official OHIO Roll Call.

[klx678]

Mark Krieger here, in Delaware Ohio, just north of Columbus. I ride a KLX650, about 45,000 on it so far. I also have a Zephyr 550, but the knees are saying "sell it" in spite of how much I like the look. And after 15 years in the process, an SR500 street/tracker that I want to have running by the end of May if not sooner.

I teach in the Olentangy Schools at Liberty Middle School, 7th/8th grade Industrial Technology. I started a sideline caused by the Zephyr needing a cam chain tensioner:

They're on over 600 bikes in 27 countries including most of the 50 U.S. States and Canadian Provinces.

It's been a blast. Kind of funny to think there's some bike in the Czech Republic, Russia, Bulgaria, or Thailand with that sticker on it. I love it.

I've been in Delaware for 5 years, still don't know any riders here with similar interests. Done the bike night at Quaker Steak and Lube, but not much going there for me. Still working on meeting up with some riders. There's a new Zephyr owner in New Albany that I just spoke with. Gave him some tips and we plan to do a run into east Ohio some time this spring.

Anyone else here into anything but cruisers, customs, tourers, and slammed sportbikes feel free to email or pm me to go have a cup of coffee and shoot the breeze, maybe do a ride.

Later...

Cleveland here! I actually just acquired this '79 CB650 from DTT member evolutionfab.

Could always use a hand with it when it comes to engine stuff and wiring (hint, hint!)

 

[kioskguy]

Nice starting point facefirst35. The Cleveland Moto guys know their stuff like user: Pocphil . Check them.

Hey Mark - klx678 you should start a Columbus DTT group and organize monthly meetups. We've had a lot of success here in Cincinnati and are building a big Cafe community. I may be up your way on May 5th and may visit the AMA motorcycle museum. PM me if you want to ride that day.

Right on facefirst35. Cleveland area myself. Part of the Cleveland Moto crew. Welcome to the forum. Should have plenty of interesting get togethers coming up. I'll hit you up when we start up No Douche Bags Bike Night again this year. See you around town.

Hey Dustin, Keep me in the loop on the NDB bike nights and any other rides. I should have the 650 on the road hopefully in April. Been getting out on the 850 all week! Looking to drastically increase my miles in the saddle this year.

All you new guys- Welcome!
