Fucking James.................

Always wanting to tinker with peoples bitches!!!

You stay away from REDAMO's bike you hear me? And stay away from my Duke, she's still sour about your little "Retarded Kid" comments yesterday!! Didn't notice one stall today from her did ya???? That's because I bitch slapped her back into line.

It's funny that Redamo said he was going slow and was sorry for getting 3 people seperated....... All along I thought you were the slow one holding Vic and Redamo back........hmmmm sorry James my mistake, but you could see why I would think that right? I mean....you drive a Honda RC51!

Can you still find parts for that bike or did they stop making em?

Pay attention one of these rides and Ill turn you in to a rider one of these days as well. Ill have to scare you a bit more down moosehill I was taking it easy the first time we went down it.

As for tinkering with bikes. You should consider yourself lucky you have me around I have one of the best teaching me. There can only be improvements made. Redamo's gixxer will spank that Ducati of yours when its sorted out Bring that thing up to the track on the 12th. Youll have a great time and we can see how fast you can really go.

The only thing not made for my bike is it one steering damper I want. The mount is made anymore so I have to fab it up myself.

Damn! I look FAST just sitting there.....even with a gas pump in my hand!

Hey thanks everyone it was really fun , im glad nobody's angry about the broken group, and when we started, the group was pretty bad ass.
hopefully we can ride again after i get some more experience and confidence.

Glad you had fun! And no, nobody's gonna be angry just cause you're new rider and taking it easy.
And get some riding pants and boots before it's too late I know some really good prices for gear. PM me if you thinking to get some. I'll give you an address

[union]

Hah, and I was gonna bring my bike to GMD over the winter for some work....I'l have to think twice now

Ned next time if Im feeling nice Ill trade bikes with you. You can see what its like to ride a bike that feels like its on rails

Seriously definitely bring you bike to the shop when youre ready. Its well worth it. Pete really knows his stuff.

Next season I promise I'll do a couple track days with ya......if for anything else other than the fact that I've gotta show you how it's done junior........

I don't have the time this summer and I've gotta get my wife a bike before I spend anymore money on myself motorcycling. I also need some leathers, gloves etc. Lost my old gloves and my old leather pants are way way way to small (gotta stop working out). Last time I wore them I was 185 pounds, now I'm 215 pounds.......

Isn't there a saying that you can't teach what can't be taught?

Thanks to all for organizing this ride. It was just what I needed. In my opinion I think it was too many bikes to be running the same road multiple times, but then again they were some good roads . Hopefully we can do this again sometime.

This is what happens when you rely on a GPS.





yeah, I love to bust Kurt's balls about that, since he gets so apologetic when we have to backtrack.

I'm just joking James. The reputation you guys have speaks for itself. And about riding like "on rails", I don't know, my bike feels OK to me, but again I've never ridden with a properly set up bike with aftermarket springs/ forks, shock. BTW, I went to Pete's last fall to do some minor suspension adjustments on stock bike.

Well hindsight being 20/20 the next time I lead a section , or start a ride I'll check to make sure what all the riders levels of experience is. I didn't know at first that he was new to group riding until we got done with that first section of twisties I lead and James came up to me and Kurt and said to take it easy or at least don't take off because we had a slow rider. Next time we ride with a big group like that maybe James, Kurt , me and Chuck ( you guys are really the only one's I know well) can exchange cell #'s and if seperated just pull over and call each other right away. Although James did call Chuck and Kurt but no answer. Also, it was my first time leading a ride and admittedly the rearview mirrors on the Duke are pretty much worthless, mine as well throw them out! I was just keeping an eye on SmoothR-6 (damn...I forgot your name, sorry. I did put your cell phone # in my phone under R-6..ha) because he was the only set of headlights I could see or cared about while I was taking corners at 60/70+

fuck it - leading is a pain in the ass - you guys did your best - my only complaint was the pace was a bit slow.... LOL - j/k

so anyone on the ride doing LAPS in july or Aug?

BTW - the hot chick on the bicycle (aqua) almost took me out while i was standing there... that would have sucked if i had to break her fall by grabbing naughty zones!

Sucked??? Nahhh. Naughty zones are good!!

[Kham]

what happen to the rule about wait up for slow rider?

[xrocket21]

sorry James my mistake, but you could see why I would think that right? I mean....you drive a Honda RC51!

Can you still find parts for that bike or did they stop making em?

Hey hey hey!

[DynoTune]

Victor, Carlton, everyone, great riding with you! lots of fun. I must admit I grew up in that area a bit, knew the cop situation...i think after going up and back a few times on farm road my own cell phone was trying to call the cops LOL had to shut it off so it would not turn me in You all impress me with a "respectful" ride style....Carlton and Victor, lets ride again soon!
Cheers everyone!

Seriously, I wonder what we sounded like from a bystanders point of view that day....

Can't even imagine. If it were me watching I woulda got goosebumps. I find 15 bikes ripping up a set of twisties to be most impressive....but then again, I'm a different breed.....

WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU. TOO MANY BIKES GOING BY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED!!

[The Snowman]

but then again, I'm a different breed.....

You can say that again.

[xrocket21]

I had so much fun, thats probably the hardest I have ever ridden my bike. And It made me love the sound of my RC more than ever, no offense to any of you other guys

Hopefully, you weren't riding over your 80%. I've already seen it once when someone was riding over their ability, trying to keep up with the pack and a little thing like target fixation caused a crash.

Dont' overdo it. Redamo had the right idea.

No, I felt very comfortable. I do a lot of auto-xing with my car so even though its different, I am still used ot the limits of traction and comfort. Were weren't even close to the limits of the bike so I felt fine. I normally ride by myself. I have no pride issues where I would be embarassed to fall back, especially with my limited gear. It was a good ride and I really enjoyed myself. I felt I kept an eye on other riders, held an okay line, body position, etc.

I guess Im trying to stress that I wasn't even close to riding beyond my abilities, i just don't normally ride like that, I mostly cruise and commute, but I'm not afraid to show an on-ramp who is boss. Actually the road I take to work is ILL.

[xrocket21]

I happened to mention a few times how I had to be home for my bbq, and that I was making ribs... I just wanted to post a pic of how they came out...
