Looks like sunny and warm from Monday on. Should dry up nicely for a Saturday ride along Shoe Creek and Sherondo. It's been a long wet season. Hope I'm not too rusty to keep up with you.

Chuck Batt is looking for riders for a ride on the 19th (Friday). Lemme know if you're interested, and we can all gang up together , or whatever.

I am more inclined to go Saturday. Ed, no more tickets.

manganos · 03-14-2010, 08:11 AM

I can't do Friday but Saturday is fine with me.

So we have Ed, Pete and myself so far. Maybe I should start a new thread

Didn't make it to BITB. Visiting daughter got up before I was going to leave, so decided to stay put and visit before she had to head back up the road to MD.

Weather was/is a little pi$$y with a drizzle, so standing around in the rain shooting the breeze didn't sound all that appealing.

BIKE ON THE LIFT.....still.

why did I buy a bike with sooooooo much plastic on it....

jgiacobbe · 03-14-2010, 10:10 AM

Felt about the same. Didn't go because standing around wet wasn't appealing.

Also had horrible time getting sleep and with the time change, I figured to skip it and catch up on chores around the house.

I'll be off that day. Where are you heading? I have Avon distanzias on the bike right now. Adequate?

(hoping for good weather...and spousal approval

)

I've ridden VERY nasty trail conditions on sportbike tires on one of my SuperMotards and had no issues. I just had to adjust for conditions

I'd say come along and enjoy the day!

Nice one!

pplassm · 03-16-2010, 05:40 PM

Sooooo, the weather was so nice after work and I decided to take my XS650 out for a spin. Coming back on to Quaker road, I saw a bright, weird light in my mirrors. At the stop sign, a gentleman on a black BMW sooperbike pulls up beside me.

Neato. Somebody actually pulled the trigger on it here in New Kent! Is it one of you?

Colemanskeeper · 03-16-2010, 06:07 PM

Hey Pete, which one was it?

I should have never taken the test ride last time I was at Mortons.....man what a machine that K1300 is! If the damn thing wouldn't be so uncomfortable on all day rides I might of seriously considered a trade in of F800.
