I had a blast on Saturday, lets do it again on Monday (because I'm too lazy to be in Morrison at 8AM to join the group today). I'm thinking similar route (Coal Canyon, P2P, 7) unless anyone has a suggestion or wants to go further west. We can meet up north again on 120th & Huron Starbucks, say 830-9?

How long do you think the ride will be? Just trying to gauge it for work stuff.

Anyone interested in riding in the afternoon?? 2ish... I have to work and can't do the morning. Coal creek would be fun though. It was pretty sandy on friday night but I imagine that has cleared up a wee bit.

After going out on the early ride today, I would recommend the earlier, the better. By the time we hit the road, (about nine) the traffic was already crappy. We got stuck in a ton of traffic. I would also stay away from Golden Gate as the bottom section is completely sanded.

I bet if you hit the road at seven, it would be a little chilly, but you would have a nice open road in front of you. I would plan on being home at ten though because the traffic is really going to suck!!!

Good luck and have fun!!

lol you probably think i stole your idea - i actually got to thinking about sprockets and realized the stock front from my k8 600 had 16 teeth, freebie -1 upgrade! then i hopped online and found a dude wanting to unload his speedo-fixer and barely used k&n for cheap... the day really came together for me.

No No i don't think that at all. More power to a good day and cheap too. I'm stoked that it all came together so fast for you. I had to pay for ALL my parts. It was my roommate that got all my free hand me downs. Enjoy!!!!!

for sure. right off the line and all through the gears.. even broke traction on the rear while passing once and did a few "unintentional" wheelies. couldnt help myself but to fly down peak to peak today like we were on saturday. got a little far ahead of the group while seeing how the new mods treat me (and they treat me well). i must say i am tempted to come down with the flu and call in "sick" tomorrow.

i just finished the oil change from hell. turned out, the first oil filter i bought had a faulty seal, installed it, let it run for a minute, then pop! and oil went EVERYWHERE. just finally finished cleaning it up by hand, gonna have to bring her to the car wash tomorrow to finish the job...
