Ohio Motorcycle Ride #2 (June 1, 2018)

 Great time on June 1. Lori, Debbie's cousin had me get on the spare Suzuki Marauder for a ride around Ohio. Was a short time to do it as Debbie and I had a lot of things to do but it was a good time and a fine day to explore.
We rolled down a number of backroads in the area and passed a large number of motorcycles along the way.
While Richmond is already feeling summertime type weather, the Dayton area is still largely in Spring. We rode out to this site and stopped for a short while before heading back. On the way and beyond saw some really neat farms and just beautiful conditions. While there is no helmet law in Ohio I wore one, thinking that is the one part of your body in a crash that does not really heal.
Lots of really fun roads and as always got some points to see in a future visit. Other than perhaps by flying, no better way to see an area...really see it...than by motorcycle.         
This was actually the start of the ride. The motorcycles date to 1991 and were very fun to get down the road on. Unlike my Triumph Speedmaster they are water cooled (the current production model is water cooled of the Speedmaster). They are 800 cc V-twin engines, and  have really good performance.
It was a great time and was my second ride in Ohio on these motorcycles, the last was a little while back on a previous visit.
Oho is a great place to ride and saw many fine bikes and people along the way during the visit and the ride.
