    I'm a great follower, however I've never been good with following directions. So says my mom, fiance, teachers, and most of all my old boss. What a dick that guy was.
    Anyways...
    Thanks theothersean for taking the lead and coming up with a route...
    Will this be another early morning meet up? Those 8am meetings really screw my Sat. nights up. Which I'm ok with, if it means I'm gonna ride on Sun.

    I actually prefer being in the back. That way, I see everything that's going on w/ the ride.
    only prob with staying in the back is you end up sucking up all that 4 stoke exhaust.

    Wait a minute, who said I was leading this ride?

    I WAS BEING SARCASTIC!
    proving a point that everyone wants to go on rides on all the good roads but no one wants to ever lead.

    And yes IF I lead a ride, we leave early in the morning,
    to avoid traffic and
    get as many miles in early in the day as possible.

    Besides, get drunk on friday nights , sleep it off on saturday and be in good shape to ride sunday.

    Hmmm....yeh, I noticed that too. Could it be PC III ? Did you mess around with maps or anything like that? I'd suggest starting a thread in Kawiforums, I bet you'll get a few usefull answers.

    If I can get my bike back early saturday and can get my turn signal back on the rear, I'll lead you guys wherever you want to go. Rt. 2 over the mountain into NY is clean as a whistle.

    I guess Im not allowed to lead anymore after last time Just look at it this way. It was just a free lesson in bike control. It came in pretty handy for me yesterday at loudon. What a fun place.

    Anyway how long is this ride that you are all planning? If I can get my bike back into street mode in time I might be up for this.
