Well I must inform yall that all of you suck! J/K

I'm working Saturday in Haymarket which is where I'm assigned now. Saturday is Haymarket Day, not sure what it is, but the main drag (55) will be shut down at some point through town. I was gonna ride to work...maybe a parade lap to my station could be incorporated into the route? Or maybe we can cruise up there in the ambulance...either way have fun!

I'm working on getting something together for Sunday down here...probably the usual awesome 300 mile ride to the mountains. If anyone is interested in joining but not sure how to get down here, I get off work at 6am Sunday in Gainesville so we could head south together. Chances are I would leave work more like 8.

 

I have about a 3 hr route. I have to admit that some of the roads are slightly new to me. Plus there are a couple of options along the way. So if anyone else doesnt want to lead something I guess I will.

 

Im really inchin to get down there. My time has been very limited and before I know I will be making another cold ass trip down southwest again. Damn it!! So Jeremy's got the Superhawk and you were supposed to be picking up a Super Duke?!!?!?!?! Hey, there was someone the dcsportbike.net forum selling RC51 track plastics.

 

why dont we keep it simple? 55 to marshall to 647 to flint hill to lil washington, 211 to luray, to GWNF to front royal to 55 return?

simple is good. Anyone opposed to 211? I know some avoid the road. I really dont mind as long as I'm with a group that's not out draggin knees.

 

That sounds painful!

I did indeed get the Super Duke...awesome bike. Its in the shop right now unfortunately getting some warranty work done. Those bastards have to keep it while waiting for the parts. Its BS.

Any idea what he's asking for these plastics?

Sounds like you're not coming Titanium...BP? Anyone else up for Sunday? It'll be a cool 500 miler for you northerners...easy day on a VFR lol. Bring knee pucks...

 

I have an electronic rider aid that makes 211 a fun road

 

Can't. Sunday is Redskins at 1:00 and I have to be home for Company...

 

I thought we are talking Saturday?

regardless 'Skins will loose on Sat or Sun.
:smile:

 

yea I cant make Sunday. We are having my son's birthday party that day. Here's the link to the track plastic's for the RC51. Sounds like a good deal depending on the overall condition.

BP- you gonna try and come out on Saturday? I think between all of us we could throw together a great ride.

 

He was referring to riding down with Hotbrakes on Sunday. Our ride is still scheduled for Saturday morning!

 

I'll try to be there at 8:00am at the Sheetz in Haymarket Sat if the wife will let me...

umm okay. So me and my buddy erik will be at the sheetz 8am tomorrow morning. Erik rides a red 675. So if you see a red 675 with a guy that is maybe 5'-6" standing by it that'll be him. I'll be on my 98 vfr. BP you should show just to make sure its not an all red bike ride! Erik and both need to back in the area around 12. So we may split off from the group and head back earlier than planned.

 

and the girl has to work this Saturday, so I get to have a hassle-free ride!

 

I sorta rode... I have been spending time with a buddy trying to get him into the sport and have been loaning him the VFR and riding with him on the 999. We got a late start and proceeded directly to the route and rode slowly (were in marshall at 8am turning onto 647) and fully expected the ride group to catch up with us. We stopped again at the gas station on the Sperryville side of 211 and then again in Fort Valley... nobody passed us or were seen.

Decided to err on "sort of" riding with the group as I am not sure my amigo's skills are there yet. Next time...

 

It was a nice day out today. Decent ride nice weather, scenery etc. Roads were nice. Lots of squirrels trying to test their manhood by running in front of our bikes. It was nice meeting CiscoKid and seeing Titanium again.

Hot Brakes... Saw your ride outside the station today. Is that were you are working now?

 

I didnt make it (obv)
8am too early for me to get anywhere with only a few hours sleep. and haymarket is about 30-45min away so waking up double early is like double kick in the neck.
Dunno how you guys do it!
