    Hooked up a ride today...

    Today I met member Rosco61 from this board. We talked a couple times on the phone and finally hooked up for a little ride. Nothing major, went done Rt. 127 to Gloucester. Stopped at woodmans for some seafood. Continued on thru 133 West and stopped at his buddy's house in Seabrook. Was a bit brisk in N.H. and we decided to head back 95 south where the staties had peeps pulled over every 10 miles!!!
    All in all, was a great day and I had a great time.
    Tried to hook up with stevecbr900rr but he was busay.
    We'll hook up sometime Steven...
    Cant wait to do it again.

    Yep I rocked a Harley ,Knee out Hanging off,

    and I also joined an outlaw Biker Gang, Grew Long Hair and A huge beard all in one day.

    The 883R is really a fun bike when your use to a GSXR ( I refuse to say GIXXA) nice to relax and check out the Leaves.

    Thanks again Wookie

    Is that why my tank has new outlaw gang stickers?

    yeah, that bike is not intended to triple the speed limit...crappy suspension, touring tires, flexy forks, limited lean angle, etc.

    glad someone got out for a ride today. Sadly, the funniest part of the day was Dan calling and saying "you need a fucking fairing on this thing...I'm freezing my ass off."

    And I was finally able to beat Dan fair and square. You need to let him borrow that more often. It isnt often I can beat him through the twisties

    An 883 is not a "HOG".. It is a "piglet"


    Don't start taliking about riding it in Ptwins!! The natives will get restless because it might beat their precious EX500's!!!

    speaking for me personally, my reaction didn't have so much to do w/ the bike, but the attitude in which you were presenting the idea.

    Now get your lame duc & lets get it on.
