Captain Kirk, is that you???

We're ....going ....on a ride..... like none have done ...... B......4, IF ....U .... don't have your dog bird...or a monkeyflying over ur head ..... U .... can't GO .... with ..us

Spock's reply

"Captain if you have any sense of leading a ride like this and the intent is to make it fun and NOT GAY then please loose the vernacular and talk to us like an experienced leader. I have reservations of going on a ride where there are big dogs (ther scare me) or what??? No big boobs (gotta have some milk for a ride like this) hey if she beat breast cancer and only has one nice boob she can still give up a little milk or bikes that have less than 1000 miles on the tires etc (like mine has 1500 on the frame sliders does that count). Why do most eat at restuarant gas (what kind of interesting place could this be) motel's going to cost $400???? why if my bike is legal does it also have to be blessed by a Rabi???? Ok ride NAZI!!! and finally captain if you hit your head one more time those birds flying around you will become cookoo birds."

Bones reply

"PULL it together MAN, if you want to remain captain you've got to PULL it TOGETHER"

My tires must have 1,000 miles on them?

Oh sorry guys I just put them on last week and they only have 300 scrubbed in miles so I guess I'm out.

Maybe you'll let me go on a trip next year so I can travel at "triple digit" speeds with squared off rubber and belts showing.

[richw]

I am sorry you do not have your sportbike jargon to US English dictionary

Did your 2nd grade start this week or next

The only credence I will give is to explain that most sport bike riders ride up to 250 in a day.
Their tires should not wear out and then get examined.

An entire weekend of high speed high jinks will 1/2 of the life of a sportbike tire.

ergo if you get 3000 miles out of a rear tire and you have 2500 miles then before
the weekend is finished your tire will be unsafe.

[Kham]

that made sense. my 2nd grade starts next week.

CHIRP CHIRP "KIRK??"

"Captain your crackin up!"

I've got to give pirelli props the diablo corsa's on my bike last more than 3000 miles and I sometimes ride like a weekend hooligan just like you propose in you quest for the HOLY GRAIL

I have almost 4000 miles on this seasons set and have recently done over 1000 miles with the not so squidly DUCDAVE (last weekend and the one b4) plus I went to nhis on monday for a track day with guys from Seacoast

Sorry MAN guess Im out

[The Crashing Tomato]

thanks for joining this one

[The Crashing Tomato]

Hey Rich,

if I were U i'd instead of riding like a weekend hooligan (a ton on some of those roads is sucidal) and endangering the good citizens of the NEK even if it is a republic of cow pokin tree huggin gay lovin rednecks

[Kham]

oh sorry. can i join this one? : i like captain kirk.

can you do homer simson?

[richw]

First
I am old, short, fat and tend toward the curmudgeon.
Therefore can not be held accountable for what I say.

Big Dog No noobs or even 1/2 noobs.

Experienced adult sportbikers with gear only. High speeds and passing anywhere will be the norm. If you have to ask yourself if I can do this then I am sure the answer is no.

No one has ever been hurt but we have had wrecks and some Off roading

Bike must have 1000 miles on tires etc.

Expect high tire wear. We have sent people home early with tire cord showing. I don't care who's tire as long as you can reasonably expect to still be safe with an additional 1000 miles

Must eat at restaurants, gas, and motel so cost is like $400

Some of our friends have limited means and I want everyone to know that the total out of pocket cost for the trip is about $400. Though by being frugal you could probably get away with $350

If legal bike regis insurance etc not kosher... bye bye

We ride in groups to support one another this will apply universally to reasonable mechanical difficulties and certainly accidents etc. All aid will be given medical, bike tow, bike retrieval and mission extrication

BUT

If we were pulled over and a LEO finds legal problems.. drivers license, insurance, registration, previous warrants etc. Your on your own you can still come but we won't ruin our weekend for your previous problems.

very weather dependent anything more then 1/2 day possible rain and we
shift or cancel. Shift means like sat sun mon

One of Camp Meade's greatest thing is a 1 day cancellation money back policy so we can watch the weather forecasts until Wednesday afternoon and then decide to cancel or if it makes sense postpone the trip for 1 day. Or some combination.

Chirp chirp chirp chirp

I expect total silence in regard to this ride and participation. This is the sound of the crickets over the stillness of the night.


God help me and all to be safe but so far nothing really bad has happened Though fast we do not believe we do truly unsafe things. (like you learn at a track day)

Maybe what you meant to write was, "Bike must have 1000 miles REMAINING on tires."

The way you wrote it, it sounds like tires must have been used for at least 1000 miles.

PS: If you're serious about maintaining triple-digit speeds on NEK roads, please stay the hell out of my state. We have enough of an increase in police activity as it is, thank you very much.

Is this the first lead ride, I think most people on here are fairly smart and safe riders, thus the reason we are on here looking for others of the same. And whats with the rain delay. Riding rain or shine, you not wanna get went get some rain gear.

[DucDave]

Experienced adult sportbikers with gear only. High speeds and passing anywhere will be the norm. If you have to ask yourself if I can do this then I am sure the answer is no.

...key qualifiers above - ANYWHERE and WILL BE THE NORM

I ask myself SHOULD I do this and the answer is NO!!!

I ask myself IF I do this and the answer is SOMETIMES ...
...but it SHOULD be NO!!!

[highsider]

Rich, you sure do have a way with words on the internet.

I'd be down to tag along, but I dont have a big dog bike, and you guys would leave me and the motard wheezing in the dust. Shoot me a PM when you're heading up, I'll buy you a beer and do a lap or two of Route 17 with you.

[ChR1s]

Enjoy, Rich! That place rules for stretching the throttle cables. It's not often you can cruise around here at triple digits while relaxing and taking in the scenery. It's unfortunate that Gus & Clara are calling it quits and leaving the Camp. I don't think there will ever be a worthy substitute.

[richw]

Literal fockers

pass anywhere doesn't mean blind curves or such and not each other just the cages etc. I don't pass riders unless I need to communicate.

I simply do not want people over their heads trying to keep up.

The rain avoidance is usually just that when the roads are slick the FUN is over. I will ride home in the rain but as you see this is expensive etc. and if it isn't going to be a blast then why bother.

Yes Camp Meade is probably a dead duck next year. Anybody want a cabin almost free. There is probably like a 20% chance they will try again. The original owners Gus etc have been out of there all summer already.

[Kham]

rich, i'd love to do one night but i don't know yet.

[richw]

Vermonters if you want less of a police state

well upon further thought there is no way to stop it

both Democrats and Republican elected officials like a police state
they are the muscle for the cowering Lawyers in the legislature
and right handy tax collectors as well.

[Kham]

yay for rich!

[markbvt]

Rich, maybe that's why we keep electing independents.

Regardless, so far Vermont has not been much of a police state, especially when compared with surrounding states. Personally, I don't want it to become one.

Just was informed there is a giant cruiser event

[highsider]

If you behave, I'll conssider showing you T***** Road, which will keep you away from the Killington ride.
