The Official Thread for the North Georgia Riders!

Ok, folks, we were trying to come up with the best way to communicate between us. The social groups of Ninjette lacks most of the forum capabilities and doesn't notify very effectively, so, this thread in combination with the website will be for all things North GA riders. I will keep the first post up to date with the latest info on upcoming rides and events.

mfresh · March 14th, 2013, 07:28 PM

You guys planning on riding all the way to Tail of the Dragon or are yah gonna trailer your bikes?

I'm gonna need to bring along some seat padding or something lol.

vman1313 · March 15th, 2013, 06:47 AM

I was planning to ride up there but I need something better to sit on on this 300. The seat is an effing rock!!!! Its really a mini IRON BUTT if you are not use to riding long miles up to the dragon from our area. I will say this, I 2up'ed up there last summer and spent the whole day up there then went to the Dragon and rode it a couple of times and then home. 8AM to 8PM and it was fun! Was I sore, yes! Was I tired, yes! Did I have a blast, HELLLL YES!!!

BlueJeepYJ · March 15th, 2013, 06:57 AM

I think making it a 2 day would be more enjoyable. That way were not already tired when we hit the dragon.

In a perfect world I envision riding up in a GMC Yukon XL with leather seats towing all the bikes in an enclosed trailer. I'll keep dreaming...

fleemos · March 18th, 2013, 06:55 PM

In the past I usually take Friday off and then spend the night in Knoxville, then ride it some more on Saturday.

Sipper' · March 19th, 2013, 04:27 AM

I won't make it.

Doing carb sync, valve lash, headset bearings, plugs, clutch/springs, fork oil, tires and gearing change that Fri/Sat and have to work that Monday.

Trying to make sure everything is good for racking up some miles when the warmer temps get here.

mfresh · March 19th, 2013, 10:52 AM

So did we decide on Friday or Saturday for the drag strip?

@Sipper'

I know how it is. My bike has been out of commission for a while as I've worked on installing new brake lines, clip-ons, rearsets, and now waiting for my grips!

I still need to shim my carbs too.

BlueJeepYJ · March 19th, 2013, 11:47 AM

As far as I can tell, the open drag strip is only on Friday nights. With that being said, I don't think I am going to be able to make it this Friday night (and it being their opening night, it will probably be crowded)

GearMonkey · March 19th, 2013, 08:35 PM

Looks like rain Friday night.

mfresh · March 20th, 2013, 06:24 AM

Weather looks 'trrble for this whole weekend... Bummer.

fleemos · March 20th, 2013, 08:16 AM

I really wanted to do some more runs at the strip.

BlueJeepYJ · March 20th, 2013, 08:27 AM

So, It looks like the drag strip also has an open run this Saturday as well. Depending on the weather it would be easier for me to make that then trying to deal with Atlanta traffic on a Friday and the weather may be a little better sat morning.

So who is in for the Dragon March 31/April 1st? The motel at the dragon is pretty affordable at 59 a night with three beds per room.

Let me know!

Jeff

Bosgarage57 · March 20th, 2013, 09:58 AM

APril 19-20th, Suches GA, is the Concours rally, Running with the Wolf. I am a Cog'ger and if any of you are local you are more than welcome to meet up with us and show us some roads. I prob wont be on the ninja, probably the buell.

Sweet man!! Would love to meet up with you and if you would like, would love to show you some NICE roads.

(OH and NO BIGGIE on which bike...most of the guys in the group are now on 650's and such meaning its not a Ninjettes ONLY thing

)

AND we are trying to put a group together to come up Sunday March 31st / April 1st to go to The Dragon. Will keep you updated with times in case maybe you can meet up with us.

Bosgarage57 · March 20th, 2013, 10:40 AM

ok cool, remember the Skyway is closed due to a landslide so that nice road is out of order

If you guys were coming up on a weekend I could show you all some nice roads in NC/TN.

Did not know about the Skyway...will make sure to make changes in any routes I had planned thru there....thanks for the heads up!

sowega · March 20th, 2013, 12:32 PM

Hey guys,

my shop is sponsoring a trackday at Talladega Gran Prix on April 21st. If you have any questions, check out the Facebook event page"]Facebook event page[/URL].

mfresh · March 20th, 2013, 02:18 PM

Man, I really need to get me a one piece suit...

ally99 · March 20th, 2013, 03:20 PM

Damn. I can't make it April 1. My dog is having surgery that day so I have to be here to pick him up. Poor guy.
If you need a place to stay overnight, i HIGHLY recommend the Iron Horse Motorcycle Lodge, http://www.ironhorsenc.com/ . I have stayed there multiple times. They have options to camp, bunk, or stay in a cabin. They fix a stellar breakfast and dinner that are WELL worth what you pay for them! The people kick ass, it is beautiful with a mountain stream to cool you off after a hot summer ride, and it's just in between the Skyway and the Dragon. Hands down, the best place I have ever stayed up in that area!

Ooh. Is that euro or us size?

Not really sure what size I am as I have never worn a one piece, but I imagine small to mediumwould work.

US sizing. For reference, I'm 6 feet and about 175 lbs

Xoulrath · March 20th, 2013, 10:05 PM

Wow, I would love to make that Dragon trip, but sadly I'll be in classes all day. I so hate Mondays right now.

fleemos · March 22nd, 2013, 07:15 AM

Hey guys I'm sure I mentioned the Yamaha dealership I got the FZ6R from has a demo day once a year, well it's on April 19-20. Register early so you can get to ride the bike you want, assume most will probably wanna try the R6 and it's a very popular choice.

You going? What time you gonna be there? Maybe if a few of us meet up we can catch lunch and maybe do a quick ride if the weather is nice.

Sadly as much as I want to I won't be able to make it, I have a friend coming into town that weekend. The one weekend I have someone visiting is when the schedule it.

Kawasaki has one too so my dream of trying a 600 Supersport this year is still on, just now more likely to be a ZX-6R than a R6.

Will one of you guys please get video of your ride on the R6 and youtube it? Thanks!

mfresh · March 24th, 2013, 08:52 PM

The weather needs to hurry up and straighten up so we can meetup for another awesome ride.

... I am going through withdrawal... lol.

That "demo" day looks interesting though. Part of me really wants to ride one of those super sports to check it out, the other part of me doesn't want to risk falling in love...

BlueJeepYJ · March 26th, 2013, 07:09 AM

I just signed up for the demo day on Saturday! Cant wait, R1 and a cruiser!

mfresh · March 26th, 2013, 07:22 AM

Do you guys know if you can ride a "demo" bike with just a MP (permit)?

vman1313 · March 26th, 2013, 08:56 AM

I signed up for Saturday as well.....I THINK.....something here at work made the website crash HOPEFULLY after I had signed up and saved everything because now it wont let me back into the site. I try to reset password and it wont take my security answer or nothing

so I guess I wait until they send the confirmation email and we will see.

Oh well! Maybe we can meet there, I live only a few minutes away.

BlueJeepYJ · March 26th, 2013, 08:58 AM

@mfresh, I think it said that you have to have a hard copy, M class license.

Jeff

mfresh · March 26th, 2013, 09:21 AM

Thanks Jeff!

I also signed up for Saturday -- figure this is about as good a chance as ever to try out some different bikes.

Looks like it's about time to get my motorcycle endorsement. I am gonna have to get it soon if I want the hard copy mailed to me in time.

My most preferred: R6, FZ6R, FZ8

I may add a cruiser or two after I get a chance to research a few of 'em.

vman1313 · March 26th, 2013, 09:24 AM

Thanks BRO...the one day trip incorporates Hwy 28 called the Moonshiner 28 which is suppose to be twisty and beautiful along with the Tail of the Dragon...the two day trip will give us time to do the Tail of the Dragon, Moonshiner 28, and another one on the way home which are awesome. Again, I gotta check on road closures and stuff but we should be good to go.

fleemos · March 26th, 2013, 10:35 AM

Sadly I won't be able to make it because I have some family in town staying with me for three weeks that arrive later this week. I'll more than likely be in for the next one though, the Tail is an awesome ride.

vman1313 · March 26th, 2013, 10:58 AM

Cool maps

mfresh · March 26th, 2013, 11:29 AM

I would be a lot more decisive if I knew how the weather is going to turn out. Just not really feeling it if it's going to be all wet.

I'd be interested in a 2 day trip so we have a bit less stress on our bodies lol, but I'd be up for whichever.

Almost feel like we should push it back a week or so.

BlueJeepYJ · March 26th, 2013, 12:14 PM

Yeah, it looks like Sunday weather is iffy, Monday a lot better. In the low 60's in NC.

GearMonkey · March 26th, 2013, 03:40 PM

I'll be coming from Charlotte but I should be able to meet at Deals gap. Any Charlotte riders want to ride up with me? Weather permitting.

I'll more than likely be in for the next one though, the Tail is an awesome ride.

Just not really feeling it if it's going to be all wet. I'd be interested in a 2 day trip so we have a bit less stress on our bodies lol, but I'd be up for whichever. Almost feel like we should push it back a week or so. __________________________________________________ North GA Riders
