Of course nothing has gone wrong with the Ninja (knock on wood) for me to have to pull her apart yet. See yall at 930 at QT weather pending.

Yep, I do most of all the work myself...except for tires, but only because I dont have a machine to balance the wheels with

@racerx may have

BlueJeepYJ · January 11th, 2013, 11:32 AM

I replaced the tires on my 250 myself and static balanced them. They rode great. Getting the tires off with a harbor freight bead breaker was a piece of cake but getting them back on.

Of course I would expect a bike built for drag racing to have very impressive times

I saw a few records on his web site http://www.darkhorseracing9623.com/history.html carious to what all modifications he did to achieve his goal.

Living the exciting life I see

LiquidShell · January 11th, 2013, 01:34 PM

It will not take us north at all actually, just a big loop

fleemos · January 12th, 2013, 12:52 PM

Hope ill be able to come to the next one

vman1313 · January 12th, 2013, 05:23 PM

I too had a blast today!!!

Great ride, awesome people, everyone safe.

Cant wait for the next one.

@DeviantTurtle - thanks for taking us on an awesome tour of some great Gwinnett County roads...NO thanks for your persuasion away from the 300 and towards a 650.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

LiquidShell · January 13th, 2013, 08:12 AM

I wasn't sure what to expect when I decided to meet up with a group of strangers to ride unfamiliar roads on a machine not too familiar to me.

I learned quite a lot in that one day:

Riding on the HWY is not as terrifying as I thought. (relax, don't fight against the wind, make wise lane choices and anticipate what the vehicles will do)

Shifting and decelerating should be done before you enter the turn and the speed should be what you're comfortable with:

(if it's TOO FAR OUTSIDE your comfort zone, you're riding beyond your limits)

Even stock Road Winner tires provide good traction on wet roads.
(steady on the throttle and relax)

Need to practice stopping and starting on a hill Safely (some Newb stalled his bike twice trying to get going on a hill

)

If you ride at the speed limit or a just a few miles over it on wet roads (less than 10 in my case) you will have no problems no matter the road.

I was surprised at the turn out. Everybody rode safe and enjoyed themselves. DeviantTurtle took us on some nice roads. It was nice meeting those of you that showed up-- great group of guys and gal. I think we should do this more often. Thanks for taking me along for the ride.

Shell

DeviantTurtle · January 13th, 2013, 12:28 PM

Nice seeing all of you again, shell you have a good head on your shoulders and you will be a great rider

Tony you are very welcome

Looking forward to the next ride, wish I could took you all down all the road just within that area. So many good roads so little time to ride them all! I think a few more local Ga trips than next big trip should be up to Pigeon forge for a weekend, It is a great ride

BlueJeepYJ · January 13th, 2013, 09:56 PM

Hey ninjas!

Great ride everyone and thanks @DeviantTurtle for being a great guide! It was a pleasure meeting the new folks!

I look forward to the next ride!

DeviantTurtle · January 14th, 2013, 05:45 AM

Anytime, cant wait to get to the mountains again

Cant wait to make are group meeting video also...I was making a video for my work and I am going to make a part 2 of our ride...let me know if you have a problrm bring on youtube? Dont want anybody getting upset

This is part 1:

It was an honor to be part of your first group ride, hope to ride with you again soon! You learned some good lessons to work on, let me know any time you wanna ride.

fleemos · January 14th, 2013, 09:03 PM

That video was awesome. I'm tempted to ride this weekend, gonna be cold but sunny. Thinking I'll bust out the winter gear and go around a bit.

ally99 · January 15th, 2013, 09:48 AM

I hope to go on the next one! :-)

Modzilla · January 15th, 2013, 10:05 AM

I'm off this weekend... once the rain dries up, i'm in too. Cold + Wet = Not any fun anymore.

I'm on the Southside. our roads are not as curvy as I'd like. but once the weather warms up and i get better tires and stiffen it up a bit, I'd like to take a run up to the loop in Suches. I love passing people on Wolf Pen Gap on "slow" bikes". :thumbsup:

fleemos · January 15th, 2013, 07:41 PM

It's looks like I won't be riding this weekend because I got reminded it is a bachelor party weekend so I should stay away from the motorcycle this weekend. For those who are going out I recommend decent winter gloves with the freeze out glove liners and neck warmer, you'll be happy you got them.

vman1313 · January 16th, 2013, 05:27 PM

@fleemos @DeviantTurtle @BlueJeepYJ @LiquidShell - LOOKY WHAT I FOUND!!!
Gonna sleep on it and if it is there this weekend I may have to go trade two motorcycles for ONE SWEET BRAND NEW 300!!!

DeviantTurtle · January 16th, 2013, 05:39 PM

Damn thats nice

fleemos · January 16th, 2013, 06:15 PM

@vman1313 Damn thats the color I like. Where did you find it?

Can't tell you til after I buy it!!!!

The owner of the place said he has sold a ton of white ones but has had only 2 black and 2 green. He also said he has ordered more of them. Would love to see the black one but I am sold on the Special Edition Kawi Green one. It looked BAD@SS!!!! He had it next to a green 636 and I promise the 300 looked just as good if not better.

BlueJeepYJ · January 16th, 2013, 06:36 PM

Swwweeeetttt-- go get it!!!!!

Better go get the green one soon, the best color is in high demand.

@vman1313 that bike has your name tatooed on it. Don't show up on the next ride unless that's what you're straddling.

I know right!! I want it soooooo bad. The only small dislike was the carbon fiber looking stripe that it has but its not horrible...just a personal and picky thing. Of course I had seen pics of it but it looks a million times better in person. I am going to go first thing after work on Friday and if it is still there, I will try to pull the trigger on it. I really SHOULDN'T since I am in the middle of buying a house and WON'T unless they give me something decent for my BuSA and possibly/probably my Ninja. Id trade them both for it!!!
