BlueJeepYJ · August 23rd, 2012, 10:41 AM

Hey DeviantTurtle,

Welcome to ninjette!

Bring everyone!! Be warned though that there will be some SUPER NOOB's including myself.

I am stoked to see your guys 650r's. Those are my second favorite Ninja

Jeff

LOL, I will tell friends they have to join this forum and buy a Ninja to come along

.

No problem riding with new riders, I have actually taught a few new riders on riding techniques, as long as everyone ride within their own pace should be a good time. The wife and I will probably go with the faster pace group, I know my buddy with the GT650R will appreciate riding with people who are also learning their technique. Going to MTNs this Saturday 8-25-12 also if any of you would like to join? Meeting at WH Mall of GA at 8:10am, leaving at 8:30 sharp!

I think that's fair.

Xoulrath · August 25th, 2012, 06:40 PM

I have a good friend who is trying to convince me to go white water rafting that Saturday. There is a good chance I will since I have always wanted to, so it looks like Sunday will be the day for me.

jmisto · August 26th, 2012, 03:59 PM

Figured since you were all Georgians, I'd just post on this thread. I live in Newnan, GA. There's a great beginner ride down my way to Warm Springs and back. It's about a 100 mile round trip and is a great ride for new riders. There's a vintage motorcycle museum and usually lots of bikes ride up. There's a covered bridge if you continue riding to Warm Springs. We can usually get a little group to ride any weekend if anyone is ever interested in coming along. We (the newbies) usually take it easy and the more advanced riders will shoot up ahead and do the twisties.

Sounds good, not sure where Warm Springs is but if it's close to Newnan (assuming that's where you are) that's closer to me being on the south side of Atlanta. I consider myself a total noob so I'd be interested in doing that route.

Xoulrath · August 26th, 2012, 08:44 PM

Newnan isn't too far from me.

DeviantTurtle · August 27th, 2012, 05:22 AM

Winston (Me), Mimi (wife), Patrick, Darren, Neil, Taylor, Matt

Anyways, had a great time and looking foward to the upcoming ride on the 8th

DeviantTurtle · August 29th, 2012, 04:29 AM

So just as good measure, what is the decided game plan for this ride? Head count?

BlueJeepYJ · August 29th, 2012, 05:20 AM

Hey DeviantTurtle!

Thanks for the pics! That looks like a good time. Glad Taylor was ok!

So folks. Check the first post and let me know if your name is up there and you don't think you can make it, or if you think you can and its not on the list!

Thanks,

Jeff

BlueJeepYJ · August 29th, 2012, 08:30 PM

Hey Everyone!

Getting prep'ed for my first true group ride! Just finished my valve adjustment, oil change and coolant flush and have a new set of tires on the way!

I am up for any route, even 348 if that's what everyone else wants to do.

jeff

DeviantTurtle · August 30th, 2012, 05:40 AM

Just ordered new rear tire yesterday

, I am down for whatever, I like to take HWY 60 to 180 over to 348, most folk go hwy 129. Can you post official meeting place and time? I will most likely meet up with Darren at WH Mall Of GA again.

BlueJeepYJ · August 30th, 2012, 07:00 AM

First Post Updated. Lets here from the noobs about 348 and see if everyone feels comfortable with that.

Jeff

DeviantTurtle · August 30th, 2012, 07:54 AM

Possible meet all of you at Walmart Supercenter

270 Walmart Way, Dahlonega, GA, say around 10:30am?

I like this idea, personally. It's in my neighborhood, or at least reasonably close.heh

SharInATL · August 30th, 2012, 04:48 PM

How many miles is this route? I'm only asking because I live south of the city so it will be a ride for me just to meet up with you guys.

BlueJeepYJ · August 30th, 2012, 06:58 PM

Its a little over 100 miles. I was thinking we could get lunch in Helen to break it up.

Its a bit of a way for me to get up there as well from the NW side of ATL.

Jeff

Its worth the experiance and fun

fleemos · August 31st, 2012, 07:25 PM

I think Walmart in Dahlonega is a good meeting spot. For those coming from Sandy Springs, Dunwoody or anywhere near that, you can meet up with me and we'll roll together up there. The ride is so much fun you won't notice the miles ticking by or the time. I got my Ninja in December and I am almost to 4k.

HEY KTAYLOR! Looks like your wish is coming true... we will be riding through Helen....

Xz1atl · September 1st, 2012, 10:58 AM

So I just got back on the site and I see a team of ninjas planning a ride... Id love to join...Been hoping a group would for a while now. I can do Saturday the 8th as well. Got some new tires that just prolly got to 200 miles on them.

jhunter · September 2nd, 2012, 02:29 PM

Looking forward to this. Hopefully it doesn't rain.lol

fleemos · September 3rd, 2012, 08:03 PM

Plans sound good to me, look forward to seeing you guys at Dunkin. Gonna be a good day of riding.

BlueJeepYJ · September 4th, 2012, 10:48 AM

Dont jinx us Jhunter!!!

Saturday
Overcast with a chance of a thunderstorm and rain. High of 84F. Winds less than 5 mph. Chance of rain 50%.

Looking forward to the ride! Getting the new rubber tomorrow...

Xoulrath · September 4th, 2012, 08:15 PM

So I guess this ride is going down on Saturday then? Don't think I can make it. I'm going white water rafting in Tennessee and I have to leave around 2 PM to get there by 5 to launch.

I was hoping it was going to happen on Sunday. Looks like I'm missing another Ninjette group ride.

DeviantTurtle · September 5th, 2012, 07:42 AM

Its really to soon to check the weather, Friday it might drop down to 10% or jump to 100%, hard to say! Lucky for us GA is full of fun twistie roads, Even if the MTN is rained out, plenty of other locations to go ride at

DeviantTurtle · September 5th, 2012, 08:14 AM

On a side note, would y'all be for me getting photos of you all on the MTN? I would basically get ahead of you all, then snap photos as you passed! If the weather is clear I will bring my super dooper nice camera! Of course as long as you all feel this will not be a distraction to your riding? The photos i posted on here were took from a phone, with my camera they will be nice clean pro photos (Better wash your bike)!

BlueJeepYJ · September 5th, 2012, 08:18 AM

DT!

Please do! That would be freakin Sweet!!!!

And I don't mind the pictures thing. Are we posing as we go by?

Only if you are doing so why performing a handstand on your seat why making a face and clapping your feat why at a full lean executing the turn!

I don't recommend trying it on the street. We have plenty of tracks near us. Try it there as it will be much safer.

vman1313 · September 5th, 2012, 09:27 AM

@BlueJeepYJ - I am in as long as chance of rain is in the afternoon and not at its greatest during our ride...not jinxing just saying!

Since peeps are inviting NONE 250s I invited a 650er that said he was in and possibly another 250 pregen!! I am tempted to ride my BUSA since it has turned into more of a GA RIDER ride then a 250 ride BUT I dont own flip flops or a wife beater shirt to be dressed right for it (as most think thats what BUSA riders wear)

HAHAHA!

@DeviantTurtle - PICS sound great man! I am sure many of us would truly appreciate pics in motion

You would have more fun on your 250 anyways, its still a 250 ride. Most people cannot tell the differance between a 250 and a 650 from a distance anyways

That was more a joke than anything. Where are the tracks though? I'm not inclined to gear up for it and take my bike out there, but the information would seem to be good to have.

Road Atlanta/Atlanta Dragway are the only two that come to mind!

Talking to Darren, mentioned that I do video editing, so if you want to bring your video camera I could put something together!

Hypothetical speaking, if the MTNs a no go do to weather, would any of you be down for a photoshoot around Atlanta area? No charge, but some photos may be displayed on future website to show off my work. I really need action shots!
