Group ride 7/13/13 Moco @ 10am

[Grim2.0]

I will be riding 2 up so the pace will be slightly slower than "the pace"

KSU is 10AM so if you are not there before 10 then you missed the ride.

Destination will be Nederland where the wife and I will be grabbing some lunch then heading back to Moco

The route will be where my bike takes us, but if you have whatever issue with Kerr gulch get over it cause I use it all the time to bypass 74.

I don't give a crap what gear you wear.

If you don't like the time go on your own ride, if you don't like the route.....go on your own ride.

Noobs are welcome faster people are welcome everyone just ride your own ride.

See you then

Yea i am going out on a limb here, prob the only one I'll do all year.

Was planning a ride that morning anyways with a local friend, I'm working with him to see if he wants to join this ride as well. He's much faster paced than me but can hang as well with the whole group. We were planning on Blackhawk so if we join we will just follow to Nederland then split off on the way back possibly. Sounds good and the KSU time sounds like my type of time frame

Yes I see why you do what you do...I've enjoyed solo a lot!

[UHATEIT]

Ad 2 to the count. My and a local friend will join. I got him onto this forum and he hasn't met anyone yet so I said this will be a decent paced rride and be able to meet a few riders on here. Will be there before 10. You know my bike and he is on a white R6

I might show up in a pink tutu, wearing socks with my flip flops. Do I need to wear my hat backwards so it doesn't blow off?

2 up sucks. Saw a group of 5 sport bikes this weekend 2 up they looked miserable. Get a Harley dude.

How dare you!

2up sucks when you have a passenger that doesn't know wtf they are doing, and you can ask anyone on here who has seen my wife ride with me, she is a good passenger.

Bump. Might be bringing my bride along. She's new at it but she's learning quick. Maybe your wife can give her some pointers.

Same bike too if I don't get something new by then, she can give her some pointers though.

It's kind of bad since I just bought it a few months ago but I already wants something faster...Unfortunately we don't have lots of play in the finances so I can upgrade. I want a gixxer 1000 or a hayabusa. What are you lookin for?

[Grim2.0]

Bump there will be a ride briefing at 9:45

See you there

Shawnzy, the advice I would give for your wife is to ensure she does not wrap her arms around you and hold on near your chest. She needs to tuck her fingers up between your crotch and the tank and maybe brace one hand on the tank and lock fingers. It adds a sense of security to her and takes the extra body pressure off your back and arms. Also ensure she grips herself with her thighs and just goes with the bike movement, if she gets nervous then chew a piece of gum. I was a passenger for about 7 years on a Z12.

Bla bla I have had the best most experienced passengers bfd. 2 up sucks my Harley was cool i miss it. Had a blast on that thing w a passenger. Bought it new in 91. Had a CBR 1000 as well in the 80s that was decent 2 up. Quit preaching to the choir.

This does not apply for an SV1000 different riding style.

How did I never know about this road? Geez - anything that bypasses 74 has to be good.

Why don't people like it?
