Reporting in from the Five-O:

Keepin' up w/ the 6 & 1's

Got an invite to the north shore w/ a bunch of SS's for a joy ride & shrimp run (the area is known for their shrimp, and now i know first-hand ). I'm normally a total townie and usually never travel that far north. I'm even a bit ashamed to admit i still manage to get lost around here despite living here my whole life.

Half of them were 2-up w/ their girlfriends and i'm totally proud of the fact that i was the only female bike-tamer of the group . At the meet-up, a couple of the guys, upon seeing my ride, expressed some concerns about keeping up w/ the occasional spirited riding and passing but i think they ended up being pleasantly surprised. I decided to place myself in the middle of the formation(? - not much of one since they rode more squidlier than organized, but i guess SS's are allowed that ) so i wouldn't be left behind and forgotten which wouldn't be very hard for these guys xD. I think the only times i ever truly started to fall behind was when i failed to anticipate their accels, but other than that, i think i did quite well for myself. ^_^

Anywho... i only regret not documenting more of our adventures. (Next time, tho!)
My "in" w/ this group had a GoPro. I'll try to track down the vid if&when it makes it to the web.
For now, these are the only souvenirs i took from the day. Enjoy!

Riding w/ 600's can be a chore..esp when they are the type to nail it on straights.
As long as you had fun and learned a few things / pushed your limits some more...it's all good

it is. and they are.
but it's okay b/c that day i did push my limits - and now i know how it feels so if there were ever a time i needed it, i will feel more comfortable/confident in doing so. but it requires more awareness for sure.

Yay! It's working! Muahahahaha...

Oh, no sir! There's plenty of speeding going on around these parts!
...They just don't last very long.

Edit: Oops. And since Noah beat me to it..., it really depends on the time of day. Traffic here during certain parts of the day has earned us the title of state w/ worst traffic in the nation.

Well, I was thinking there's no where to run when the cops put their lights on, but if you're traffic is so bad you might not need to!

And @CZroe, I'm glad my brother and I aren't the only ones

Lolyuppp. If you're the outlaw type cops can't get to ya if it's bumper to bumper and you have the option (tho, not legally here) to lane split.

Well... You wouldn't be getting yourself into trouble by speeding anyways when it's bumper-to-bumper... /(?)

@CZroe: I literally looked through the entire thread's replies, like, 3x over to see what you were referring to (At first I was like and then I was like :light-bulb ---

Me neither.

Only one definition on Urban Dictionary:
A direct address applied only to the coolest of cool, or the lamest of lame. It is sort of a double-edged sword. The word is sometimes ambiguous in its usage.

Gru, you really stink OR Gru, you rock.

Ohhh you were making a movie reference. :0

And I definitely do not have a despicable me ringtone... -__-
Never even watched it. o_O Gamer fail

Then I believe the proper sentence structure would've been "Lightbulb, Gru."

Haha. I see the Oahu thread as a place to plan things together and talk about local current events and stuffs that might alienate the ppl who don't live here. This one is more general and for ppl to see what it's like to ride here.

I've never personally been to kauai. But it's less populated and developed which isn't necessarily a bad thing depending who you are. I personally can't live w/o civilization but I may want to go to the outside every so often to recharge.
