    Come along Rhenter - not like your son wants to spend his 21st b-day with you! :) My oldest is 20, but all he wants on his birthday is to take him out for sushi.

    So, you joined this forum in July 2006 and made your first post today? Now's that's lurking at its finest.

    Where about in Jersey are you located?

    Hmm, sounds to me like I'm going to be the caboose. No worries, looking forward to finally meeting some fellow VFRiders.

    Hey Randy, whats going on? Havent heard from you in a while. I was just talking about the day we meet and got caught in the rain. And yes I am keeping my bike in a lower gear in those turns or like PoconoSteve would say "Sometimes you got to wring its neck!" I am looking forward to seeing you again and obtaining more of your motorcycle wisdom.

    Dino & Steve looking forward to riding with you again.

    Pliskin I'm in Hillsborough I'l be at the Quickchek around 8:30 - 8:45. We should be on the road by 8:45 if we take 517 or 9:00 if we go via 206

    Pliskin, no worries. I'll be right behind you. After talking with Dino last night, I hope I can keep up.

    Guys, thanks for the route recommendations. Sounds like all I need to do is find Dino up at the diner in Metuchen. Sweet! I'm all in for wherever we head. I too am looking forward to meeting others on this site!

    Dino, if you want to eat before we head up, I'll meet you at the diner @ 7. If not, then at 8. That should give us enough time to hit the QuickChek to meet Pliskin and Randy. Let me know what time and I'll be there. Is the diner north or south of the dealer?

    Steve. (uh, I guess I'll go by HightstownSteve to avoid confusion with PoconoSteve)

    Looking forward to this guys.

    Randy - I'll be at the quick check by 8:30.

    I like the Route 517 idea, personally, but if you fellas from Hightstown are a bit behind, no worries.

    I'm guess that if we roll out of Quick Check by 8:45, that should get us to the Micky D's to meet with PoconoSteve by... 10?

    If anyone wants my cell phone, just send me a PM.

    Mike

    Damn, sorry I'm going to miss this. BB, you're leaving the area I live in now and picking up Pliskin in the area where I grew up (Hackettstown). I know some great twisty roads to get us from here to there, assuming there's a next time.

    Bbowng, Dino, Randy and our Gixxer partner:

    (At this risk of being called p***y among other things..)

    Anyone been watching the weather? We got some serious rain going on up here that's supposed to last until tomorrow about 11am.

    (Yes, I do ride in the rain, but not my favorite type of riding, to be honest).

    PoconoVFR - Do you know a few zip codes where you can check local weather for tomorrow?

    If its a downpour, not my style guys. Few sprinkles, no problem.

    Thoughts? Still on, rain or shine?

    Gentlemen, it was nice to meet all of you and thanks for leading the way. I used to be jealous of other members' trips when looking at some of their pics and would think I live in the wrong part of the country. Now I know I just live in the wrong part of the state.

    Great people, great roads, great food. It was a great day. Pocono, sign me up for another of your routes.

    Its was awesome riding with you guys, we have to do it again soon. We got lucky.....really lucky with the weather but next time we need to start two hours earlier to beat the traffic. Hey Pliskin you need to tell how you got your bike so clean so Randy and Steve can make there bikes shiny like yours!

    Dino - Who has time for that. I would rather ride.

    Hey Guys. Absolutely a great time. I've been looking forward to meeting some other board members here, and it was a true pleasure.

    Glad the weather worked out.

    Steve(PA) - Thanks for leading the way. Aside from a few "spine busters" (ha-ha), that was a great loop.

    Randy - Hope you made it home for your sons birthday. And DAMN you can ride!!

    Dino & Steve(NJ) - Glad you guys made it up to our neck of the woods. I say "poo-poo" to all those that think there are no good roads in NJ/PA.

    I don't know what Roman's is, but sign me up. Hmm, how's fathers day weekend looking...

    My clean bike??? Bah! Its a mess from yesterday's early rain. I might leave it that way until the next time we meet lol.
