Default Went on a drive today *pics*

Hey fellas.

The wife and I took off this morning to check out the roads in S.E. Ohio. For the couple board members here in Ohio, I went mainly because I wanted to drive the 555, I'd heard how tight and twisty it is. I've read some reviews on some motorcycle articles, and it's pretty popular with the sportbike crew.

98CoupeV6 drove it a while back and told me to check it out, so I did.

And after driving it, wow, it is. Tons of tight turns and quick elevation changes, you pop over a ridge and have no idea where the road turns, it's great. Most of the turns have some decent camber to them, you can rip through them nicely. Some turns are so tight you can squeal through them autocross style. Road winds through alternating fields, forests, farms, etc.

Anyway, I wish I would have taken more pics of this road, but there aren't tons of places to stop, and I didn't feel like stopping I guess hahah.

250 mile trip in all.

Here's a few I did take:

Great sign (there's no way a tractor trailer could make some of those turns anyway I don't think)

On the way home, we took a bit more relaxing route with some straights and wide sweepers:

Sweet roads down there.
