Hey guys! Me and a buddy will be coming thru Columbus in a few weeks and staying 2 days there. What would you guys suggest doing while there? Also where is a cool place to get a shirt? I'm trying to collect a shirt from various biker bars along the way. Thanks!

Also, Quaker Steak and Lube has a bike night every Wed night. Location is far north end of town above I-270 A street called Lyra off Polaris Parkway...google it or ask anyone locally. Attractions here are somewhat limited but we do have a very nice zoo....and the ride just north of the zoo on either side of the Scioto River is nice. If you've never been to the Ohio State University campus it is pretty cool to cruise around just because of its enormity! Also, about an hour south is the Hocking Hills region with beautiful, scenic twisty turns!! I would definitely recommend a day trip down to that area....just south on Route 33. Hope you enjoy!

I'll be there July 21st and 22nd. I'm looking forward to it! I have a buddy who worked at Ohio State and graduated there, from the stories he had it sounds like a place that I'm going to like!!

I like going to the Iron Pony store on the north side. It is a former super
Kmart that is the biggest motorcycle everything store I have ever been in.
