Some of the best rides were just going in a direction and turning around when I was half-way through the allotted number of days. I've found all kinds of cool stuff just riding the backroads.

If you're a planner ... then go here to plan the roads away from the interstates:

Take the following:

1. Toilet Paper
2. Sunscreen
3. A compass (surprising how many people get lost once they get out of their neighborhoods)
4. Credit Card
5. Bug spray

Default road trip!

I have done alot of traveling in the cage but riding the bike around will be a new adventure. Ohio seems pretty big to ride around in and on a bike it will be a challenge. Yeah no hardcore biker gear but the pipes can be loud when you jump on it hard. I take it easy going off lights and have had state boys sitting next to me and never got a glance. I have to harden my candy *** up for long rides

LOL! I had the same thought.
