Planning on touring from Georgia to California sometime soon, so any help would be appreciated!:thumbup:

Aloha and welcome, Chris!

Great color bike!! love it!!:thumbup:

mahalo for joining the forum.
:)

:welcome: sometimesido! Glad to have you aboard...

and :welcome: to the round house. Sit back and relax, and enjoy your ride. Have a question, ask, you will get answers.

This a great place to be....

ride safe.

nb

Love that yellow.

edit, doggone it, I was almost first to welcome the newbie. jeez you two are quick. :thumbup:

Bienvenue! Welcome to the boards, and enjoy the mountain of fantastic info from the great mods.

Welcome to the boards!!

NB don't worry too much (alex has a bot)

Don't give away all my secrets Sunny, have to keep at least some of the mystery alive. ;)

yeah, but you still need a faster bot...was he on break? :p

I tuned it back to 120 seconds from initial post to encourage the illusion. At this point I'm happy to put it back to 1 second if you like? :D

(nah, I always find it entertaining to watch battles between people and machines. Kind of like when my mother is in our car and argues with the navigation system.)

(nah, I always find it entertaining to watch battles between people and machines. Kind of like when my mother is in our car and argues with the navigation system.)lol... so who wins? :D

I don't know which one wins, but I definitely know which one gets more frustrated with the exchange, and it isn't the nav system. :rotflmao:

just wait till the nav system stops working cause it's pissed at you for letting your mother loose on it. :p

this certainly looks like a fun crowd!

Sorry Alex! :D But you did say it on another thread....

(I argue with Zumo (my GPS unit) all the time... I think he does it just to spite me. He argued with Phil and he about threw Zumo out the window!)

this certainly looks like a fun crowd!

LOL, yep! :D

Welcome aboard Chris! :wave:

:welcome: to the forums :D

Welcome to the forum Chris and don't mind the children arguing between each other. They keep themselves entertained that way. :D

Enjoy the group, the friendship, all the information that is available, and even some advice - even if you don't ask for it.

Children??? Listen, Gramps.... :mad:

Children??? Listen, Gramps.... :mad:

Don't make me stop this motorcycle young man.:mad:

Welcome on board.

Welcome Chris!

welcome chris. cant believe you are planning a cross country trip! tell me if you are going to be riding into so. cali or something

Thanks for all the greetings!

00v, my destination is indeed SoCal!

When are you planning your trip? Traveling alone?

if you are serious, there are forum members along the way that would most likely help in some way if you define your route in date and time.

indeed, what kkim said.

someone post this man a link to the map of all of the forum members!

Chris, when you plan on making this trip, obviously post a thread about it and also show from google maps the roads you will be taking. I am very interested in seeing how much endurance a rider/the ninjette can go through.

This is the rough route as of now. It may change a little as I come closer to the deadline.

nice! will do!

Chris,

Again, once you get your trip planned, be sure to start up a new thread so people can see your intended route. That will give them a chance to pitch in to help along the way if they are so inclined. :)

Are you planning to take a notebook/mobile device along so you'll be able to post along the way?

I should have internet access at my buddy's places.
Dallas, Phoenix, and L.A., but not when I"m on the move. My laptop hard drive just crapped out on me.

oh good idea on new thread btw.

welcome
