Do we have any North Georgia riders?
Hello - I just signed up last night after looking around for a few minutes.
I bought my first bike (2010 Ninja 250R SE) two weeks ago and I'm looking for people to ride with that don't mind a total noob hanging in the back trying to learn the ropes. Hope to hear from lots of local riders. |

I'm afraid I'd slow everyone down up front. Besides, I'm still admiring the pretty pink and green lines painted on the sides of my tires. It'll be a while before I'm comfortable enough to scrub those off - especially in front of people. I still pucker up on tight turns.

There is me and Ally99 in Athens. I lived in Cornelia/Helen area for years and know area pretty well. I have yet to meet Ally even though we are in same town. She totalled her 250 ninja recently but rides her husbands CBR 600 from time to time. I ride a yellow 02 model. I have heard of some guys in Atl but have not met them either.

I'm here in Flowery Branch. (30 miles N of Atl.) but the snow has nixed my riding for the last couple days. The N GA, W TN, and E NC have some of the best twisties in the world. C'mon Down!

I'd like to find a group of fun folks (being normal isn't a requirement) for regular rides. My wife is almost ready to take her test, on her Honda Rebel, and she likes the idea of group rides too. |

I do short runs mostly in the winter just to keep the scoot lubed up. A quick run over to the dam would be in order. A 1 hour ride. See if you like riding with an old man.
Mt. runs are few this time of the year for me. There is danger of ice at any time from Dec to March. Watch out for all the gravel DOT put on the snow/ice. Both at the dam and here. I like the Gainesville GA to- 129N -to-State 75N-to-State to 348W (Richard Russel Hwy) to-180W-to well you get the idea,,,, My son also rides, He has a new ZX600 (which he traded his 250 for) he's like me, he's always up for a quick run. Me and him did the Tail of the Dragon, run. just before it got cold. I might just run over to the dam as a New Year thing. It's supposed to be in the 50's

I know, Kevin, it's kind of sad that we've never met. Sure wish I'd known you when I got my house pressure-washed last spring! :-) We'd have hired you for sure! Though I did total my first Lil Ninj, I went out and bought another. It's an '09 w/ a muzzy exhaust that I like. I can't ride hubby's CBR...it's too tall for me. I do, however, ride my yellow Ninja 650 around on occasion, but my heart is with my Little Ninj. This spring, we'll be back up in NC, Tn, and North Ga for sure!
