October Ohio Motorcycle Ride on the Yamaha SR250 Custom

A week after this October Ohio motorcycle ride we got our very first frost of the year, signalling a major slowdown for riding season in the midwest, which is a bummer. But at least the project SR250 was running flawlessly and the sunset was beautiful, making for a memorable ride.

This channel is for motorcycle riders, mechanics, and enthusiasts who enjoy the simple joys of motorcycling, from dual sport riding to fixing up old bikes on a budget. My videos also consider the perspective of short motorcycle riders (when it’s helpful and relevant) in choosing and modifying bikes and equipment.

I’ve been hooked on motorcycles since 1975 when, at the age of 11, my dad brought home a shiny new Suzuki TM75 for me and a Suzuki TC185 for himself so that we could trail ride together in the hills of West Virginia. Since then I’ve worked as a mechanic, owned countless bikes, and even worked in the motorcycle industry for a number of years as a photographer and journalist. Now I do mainly video production and enjoy nothing more than making and sharing these motorcycle videos on CZcams.
Thanks again for watching. Ride safe!

Such beautiful light during the ride. I especially like the left hand corner with the old church in the background. The upbeat music got my toes-a-tappin' too! Love it!

Jason Phillips thanks! The evening light is going quickly now but it’s amazing right before sunset. It‘s cool to have a fellow photographer notice!
