UPDATE: Well so much for getting there tonight. I had to work later than I expected and won't be making it tonight. Stupid overtime, like the pay, hate putting in the extra hours though.

No worried. I ended up not going. It rained all evening.

Yea that kept me from going too. And once again tonight I was planning on a nice relaxing ride, and of course right now it's storming pretty hard. Gotta love central florida.....

Mr.E · September 24th, 2011, 08:22 PM

Not a lot of up coming meets at all. it seemslike the web page has calmed quite a bit x-(

matha028 · September 25th, 2011, 03:03 PM

Yeah the weather has made planning difficult. But I'm up for riding especially weekends! Hit me up.

NinjaGRL87 · September 25th, 2011, 06:05 PM

Hey guys! Just scheduled a meetup for Sunday to go to Daytona Beach on our meetup site. Anyone who is interested, we're meeting up at the Sanford Panera Bread at 8:30, KSU @ 9. It would be cool to see new faces!

Vampyre · September 25th, 2011, 06:14 PM

RSVP'd. Hopefully weather makes sns this week work out.

NinjaGRL87 · September 25th, 2011, 06:18 PM

Whoo hoo! Why did Adam rsvp no?? boo! And yeah that's why I posted it for earlier in the day... weather - bleh!

Vampyre · September 25th, 2011, 06:27 PM

Oh also. Kristian got a jacket. $400 alpinestars for $130. We are going to practice this week. She isn't into the long rides, but I might be able to get her to a SNS meet. Hot jacket.

Cycle gear. Guess it pays to be small.

Nice!! I'm saving up for new alpinestar boots.

Mr.E · September 25th, 2011, 06:41 PM

Has she taken her MSF? Cycle gear gives 15% off when you show them ur msf card for the first time.

Keep me posted if you guys go to steak and shake this thursday, Ill deff go if people do. I may be late though, i get out of school thursdays at 6:30pm.

matha028 · September 25th, 2011, 10:02 PM

Kat I RSVPd no because I am scheduled to work Saturday night til 2:30am. Which will likely be extended. But if not and I can drag my but outnof bed, then I may try to go.

I think I am going to get these. They get really good reviews on the sportbike forums. .3mm thicker than most of the expensive ones.

I got to see now. How long does it usually last?

Also, if it doesnt rain today, anyone down to ride with a n00b around a bit? I got a feeling I'll be bored and want to ride once I get home from school (which is around 6:45.).

Anytime after 6 I'm usually around. Although the past few nights I have been glued to the tv watching my Red Sox play. I'll be at SNS tomorrow if the weather holds up.

Mr.E · September 28th, 2011, 02:24 PM

Ive got family in town so my plans have to change for tomorrow. Ill deff be at sns next week though if weather holds up. :-\

Mr.E · October 1st, 2011, 05:08 PM

Perfect riding weather this weekend, and Im stuck working 12 hour shifts over night. *sigh*. On the plus though, this good weather is forcasted (so far) to hold up until wednesday. x-)

Reddoak · October 1st, 2011, 06:25 PM

I'll be out tomorrow, Adam, you going to wake up? Anyone want to meet up on the south-western side of town on the way to Panera?

NinjaGRL87 · October 2nd, 2011, 12:53 PM

Hey! When do you all want to party at Ali's? ...If we did biketober fest we would have to do it on Sunday. Ideas for a date?

Reddoak · October 6th, 2011, 01:15 PM

Hey! Who's coming out to the Harley ride Saturday morning? We can hit the KMS event afterward and go test ride Victory motorcycles...

matha028 · October 9th, 2011, 04:55 AM

It was fun while it lasted Bill.

Reddoak · October 9th, 2011, 07:25 PM

If one more Kawi showed up, we'd have had more cumulative displacement than the one Harley that did...

Reddoak · October 9th, 2011, 07:32 PM

Saturday's rainfall set a new record in Orlando... And of course, we're out riding in it.

matha028 · October 13th, 2011, 06:03 AM

Yeah we were the only crazy ones that went out on our bikes. And I rode it home Sunday afternoon. Roads were still soaked but the actual downpour had slowed. LoL I'm gonna be heading down to Daytona Saturday afternoon. Prob around 3. Don't wanna ride alone. Anyone else going? I'll be coming home that evening.

Reddoak · October 13th, 2011, 02:31 PM

I'm likely headed out there Saturday morning. Give me a holler when you get out that way, I'll probably find a way to spend all day out there. I'm trying to get my buddy with the Versys to ride out, but I'm willing to bet he won't spend all day, even if he goes...

matha028 · October 13th, 2011, 04:07 PM

Sounds good Bill.

caps · October 13th, 2011, 06:31 PM

so I accidentally left my gloves on top of the car at darrell's house tonight, so I need ANOTHER pair

I think I might get the waterproof ones this time

So I think I am going to pick up some new ones. I'm not really happy with the length of those, and want some full gauntlets. I think I have it narrowed down a few

Sedici Torino's
Sedici Verona's
Motoboss Talon's
Bilt Circuit Racer's
Bilt Trackstar's
any opinions?

I have to work in the morning now... so I'll try and hook up around 3 and ride out with you if possible. My co-worker with the Versys is likely coming, too.

sombo · October 14th, 2011, 01:42 PM

I went out there today to the Speedway for demo rides and was disappointed. The only manufacturers that were there were Yamaha and Spyder. So I rode a V Star 950 and a FZ6R. The 950 was nice for a cruiser, smooth, surprisingly quiet, decent power and was nicely balanced so it didn't feel all that heavy. I still wouldn't own one cause it's just not my style and I don't like having my legs out in front of me. For some reason having them more than 90 degrees on a bike just doesn't feel right. Still loven the FZ6R and it's currently my first choice of bike for a future upgrade.

I guess I'll have to wait until bike week 2012 to demo the new Kawasaki's.

quis41990 · October 18th, 2011, 07:01 PM

You guys recommend any shops for motorcycle tires in the Orlando area? I need a rear tire baaaad..... I was quoted $150 at Orlando Yamaha Kawasaki for tire and installation.

Mr.E · October 18th, 2011, 07:09 PM

Procycles might be a bit cheaper. Got an oil change there (because Im not ready to do it myself) and they're good guys.

sombo · October 18th, 2011, 09:23 PM

Check with CyclePros, and Racing Connection. Done business with both of them and they are top notch imo.

Mr.E · October 18th, 2011, 09:56 PM

I second CyclePros. I put the name backwards lol. They're off narcoosee and leevista behind the CVS. Great people. You can email them or call.

Mr.E · October 20th, 2011, 06:22 AM

Ugh. I feel like a popsicle today x-(

matha028 · October 20th, 2011, 06:32 AM

It wasn't so bad to ride in. Definitely need a thicker underlayer and cover for neck

Mr.E · October 20th, 2011, 09:55 AM

ran into a fellow member at orlando yamaha kawasaki today as i was getting my seat cowl. looks like ill be showing up to steak and shake. i may be a little late, but ill be there. anyone else going today?
