Tell him to suck it up. Also, I know how traffic runs in Florida as I've been there so many times. I'm not just making something up lol Just letting you know

How's your bike coming along?

matha028 · August 10th, 2011, 08:30 AM

That looks like a fun ride. I love back roads. But that is a long time

Vampyre · August 10th, 2011, 08:32 AM

I am expecting it to be here sometime mid week

Mr.E · August 11th, 2011, 09:30 PM

Any one else see the study saying in all of u.s., orlando fl is the 2nd worst city for driving? Makes me feel much better about getting a motorcycle. Lol.

Speaking of which, here's a little update for those who care and don't know yet.
September 9th is my pick up date. She will be fully paid off then and coming home to me if all goes as planned, which it will. 29 days till then, (but since its 12:26am, tech 28 days). The days are flying by and the closer it gets the more I can't wait.

I already signed up for a meet up at steak and shake I believe the 3rd or 4th week of september. I'm sure by then ill be confident enough to ride around and what not. Ohh. This post just made me more eager. Damn it! Lol.

Steak and shake we usually don't ride. We ride there and ride home, but typically we just hang out and check out the other bikes that show up.

Which may be good for me. I think riding with other people I may test my limits only 2 weeks in. But if I feel confident I'll sign up for an actual ride sometime around that time

Don't EVER let another rider define your limits... If they're going too fast for you, slow down to your pace.

Slow beats dead.

You can always just drive a car out to S&S and meet everyone...

but we go slow coughADAMcough anyway

Mr.E · August 13th, 2011, 05:13 PM

Yeah that what I mean lol. I mean I can ride my bike to steak and shake by then. But as for actual group rides I may wait a little until I feel comfortable. If I don't by then that is. :thumbsup:

Evidently, these guys prefer to suffer at midday... I like early and late rides.

The thing is, it's hard to get together with Tampa folks if they have to leave at 5:30 to make it on time. I'd do an early ride in Orlando, but not in Tampa.

r311music · August 14th, 2011, 06:26 PM

Looks like a good turnout. Hopefully I can add to the number of ninjettes in the next few weeks. I'll be street legal by the end of this week.

Mr.E · August 17th, 2011, 08:20 AM

Hey Guys.
Went to Kawasaki today and put another $1,400 on my bike. Only $1,250 left. Any who, as I was leaving the guy asked if there were any accessories I needed to buy left. Whether it be jackets, helmets, bike stuff ect. I said maybe a cowl but why?

Turns out the Kawasaki I go to is having their give away day this Saturday (8/20/2011) and basically giving things away and having huge discounts. 50 to 60% off stuff. I think you just have to beat some of their guys at wii games for it and what not. Also they said they might have a bike wash, but it wasnt too sure sounding. I think they may though. It's this saturday like I said. I dont know times really but it sounded like it was all day.

Its one in Orlando, on Colonial Dr. near Econ. Idk the exact adress but I can get it to you if you're interested.

Merc250r · August 19th, 2011, 08:57 AM

if that was the case they would be paying for more than a your bike

Reddoak · August 19th, 2011, 03:36 PM

No. Another cop would issue him a ticket and his insurance would cover it, after deductible. I'm not saying every cop does it, because that's simply not true.

But it happens.

What happened?

Couldn't have been me. I just passed my MSF today, so I can finally leave the parking lot at my complex. Btw I'm over in east Orlando, off Semoran. I'm still working up the courage to get on that road as my ninja is low on gas and the closest reasonable priced station is about a mile up the road.

holy s.....t Adam. glad your ok. sorry about your bike that is really farqed up. rest up man, go to the a7x concert. gotta admit I thought they were a bunch of punks but some of their music is actually pretty good.

matha028 · August 19th, 2011, 08:32 PM

Yeah I think I'll do the concert, and cage it to Tampa if I don't have another bike by mid sept. Or if my arm can't handle riding yet. Butnit seems ok. Just a little painful now and then. Mat, I know u will have an opinion on this so I ask. Since I respect ur opinion and will take it into consideration in my bike search. Do u think I am crazy to be shopping bikes that are 600cc? I wouldn't have upgraded after 2 months, but given the fact that I have to get a new bike anyway.

Personally, I think that if you are asking this question, then you are not ready. But that's just my opinion, take it as you will.
