Great ride guys!

All my camera footage is junk, way too high in the beginning and for the last half it was dangling around my neck. Gotta find a better way to mount that thing.

sikuss · October 15th, 2011, 01:45 PM

Mine is decent, I'll cut it up and post it. My card filled just as I began to lead so we have no video evidence of me getting us lost....I submit that it never happened.

WhiteRice · October 15th, 2011, 01:47 PM

What capacity do you have? I have a 8GB from my cell that I'm no longer using.

P.S. That ride home we were really flying.

I've got a 16gb from my old android phone -- I think I'll need to be more selective about when to run the camera to get a bigger card; I've got a lot of boring footage.

If you aren't going that fast on 78 then you're going to get run over!

Boosted139 · October 15th, 2011, 01:55 PM

78 is a death wish unless you're traveling at 80+

See, 'Frenchtown' knows the deal.

H8tred · October 15th, 2011, 02:55 PM

Great ride,and was nice meeting everone!

ChaosFromAbove · October 15th, 2011, 03:00 PM

i wouldnt mind riding along side some 250's...I've got a 2011 zx6r, from south jersey, novice

Lockshi3 · October 15th, 2011, 03:28 PM

Nice seeing and meeting everyone as well.

I snapped a few pics that I'll upload later as well.

Both 78 and 202 are usually loaded with cops so I was a little hesitant on the speeding but atleast sikuss knew where he was going this time

You should come out the next time we have a ride; just do us a favor and only use 1/4 throttle or we'll never see you again after 5 seconds in.

sikuss · October 15th, 2011, 08:37 PM

Here's the video...

WhiteRice · October 16th, 2011, 06:59 AM

Nice vid

I didn't get all sky! I have some awesomely nauseating footage from when it was dangling from my neck :P

Boosted139 · October 16th, 2011, 08:04 AM

Nice job with the video. I was waiting for you to get your knee down at the end

My knee was definitely one of the things that hit the ground when I crashed...does that count?

WhiteRice · October 17th, 2011, 04:18 PM

So what do you guys want to do next. As of now the weather this weekend is looking good.

I'm busy Saturday afternoon otherwise I'm free.

Probably hold off on my midnight NYC ride idea until it starts to warm up again.

I think there's a haunted forest type of thing up in tuxedo right by 17A.

I think I'll be free on Sunday if you guys do a ride then. I've missed all your rides but appreciate the pictures. Nice video, too!

Boosted139 · October 17th, 2011, 06:13 PM

I'm free most of Sunday. Still trying to find some decent routes though...

WhiteRice · October 18th, 2011, 12:09 PM

Heads up that "Fear Forest" thing takes place from nightfall(~6pm) to midnight. I'm not sure how comfortable everyone is with riding at night.

H8tred · October 18th, 2011, 06:48 PM

Nah, not me.

WhiteRice · October 19th, 2011, 11:44 AM

Does anyone have any shops by them? In particular ones having end of season sales?

Looking for something specific? There's a small shop down my way. Great friendly knowledgeable people (with lots of track experience), but like I said they're small so don't keep a huge inventory.

I know Cyclegear is in Edison (haven't been there yet) so i can't comment on them.

lmao...yea I'll have to frequent this place more often so i can see when the next ride is.

I remember how it was trying to keep up with my buddy's ducati 748...lost me on straights, caught up to him on turns lol

Seriously I have my eye on a CBR600, but you guys made some good points about insurance etc...

And we all love our ninjas

Boosted139 · October 19th, 2011, 04:17 PM

So where's the nearest honda dealer we can stop and visit

In case you are actually looking...

There's a Honda/Kawi/Triumph/BMW/Ducatti dealership in Metuchen -- good for eye candy, but I wouldn't buy anything there (Amanda got her bike there and the experience sucked--at least in the Kawi part of the dealership). http://maps.google.com/maps?client=s...en&sa=N&tab=wl

There's also a pretty huge dealership in Monroe, NJ called Xtreme Machines with Triumph, Kawi, Suzuki. http://maps.google.com/maps?client=s...en&sa=N&tab=wl

I do get bored on the weekends sometimes...

There's a Suzuki/Ducati/Triumph/MV Augusta dealer in Ledgewood called Trebour Motorcycles. Been there once, major eye candy. I drooled all over the place...

Lockshi3 · October 19th, 2011, 07:44 PM

also with those dealerships - as with all I'm sure, hours are severely limited on the weekends - only open until 4pm on Saturdays only. I'd probably be up for a ride on Sunday if anyone is interested... Sat. is kinda out of the question.. and I have new leather gear to wear!!

Lockshi3 · October 19th, 2011, 07:46 PM

Which shop is by you?

Cycle gear is ok - a couple months ago we went and they had decently stocked stuff by Dainese etc (where we got our boots on sale) - now its all BILT and Sedici.....

there's another store called Washington Cycle Works... very small and limited... so I was kinda curious which other one you've been to.

Washington Cycle Works is the one near me, about 10 minutes. Like you said, small and limited, but Ron (the owner)is the man. Plus he'll order pretty much anything for you if its not in stock. I like the peace of mind of trying things on before I buy and supporting local businesses. They just started carrying RS Taichi as well (hard brand to find in stores), which reminds me I have to go pick up my gloves from him this weekend.

Other than that just been to dealers who have even more limited items than WCW.

*Edit

I'd be interested in a Sunday ride as well. its your turn to lead isnt it?

Lockshi3 · October 19th, 2011, 07:59 PM

Oh cool! Yeah Scott actually bought his Held gloves there. They definitely sell reputable brands and the guy was really nice, just wish it was a tad bigger. But they are more focused on the track and other suspension modifications (like you mentioned)

Which gloves did you go with?

Going to be either rs taichi gp wrx or gp evo... he ordered both because I couldn't make up my mind. Leaning towards the gp evo.

My Boss actually had the same thing to say about WCW.

I'm down for a Sunday run. I do believe it's Lockshi3's turn.

Ok everyone please pack sustenance. Lol.

Also re: that haunted night ride- Id be down for next weekend? I have no issue riding in the dark... Is it a pretty straight shot there? Mostly highway?
