NWFL and Lower Alabama rides

TheDuck · November 19th, 2008, 07:11 PM

I ride with a bunch of guys here most Sundays, often showing up Hayabusas and ZX14s on my 250! Anyone else in the area that would like to join? I'd love to see how I would fair up next to another 250.. ANY 250!

Lemme know! :-D

kkim · November 20th, 2008, 02:13 PM

I would, but damn, that's a long ride for me to get there.

Wish you success at finding a 250 riding buddy in your area.

Set up a ramp on the east side of the island, and get a HELLUVA running start!

HKr1 · November 29th, 2008, 10:27 AM

Will make one with you soon I hope!

We went on the Veterans day ride with some of the Pensacola riders. Rode down to Panama City Beach to see the "Moving Wall". Was pretty nice 1st ride with them

Tomorrow morning @ 9AM we will be meeting at Bagelheads on 9mile road which is out in a building in front of the new Publix. We will be out on some ride, not sure of our route this time. I would like to invite you to join us!

LoL ok! I will be the only 250 there though, unless Kerry shows up... need to get a camera mount so I can record me passing the Hayabusas and ZX14s. :-D

This will be the first time for me taking the bike out since I've got it tuned correctly, AND also the first time with the 15 tooth front sprocket.

I'll give you my full report, sir!

you mean with the 120 main?

don't see why you need a camera mount... you still have your left hand available as you pass the other bikes or are you too busy giving them the one finger salute?

Yep!

Everyone has complained it was too cold, or has been drinking too hard to get up the next morning. I haven't gone riding with the group in about 5 weeks or so. I'm jonesin'!

The bike feels great, riding in the same places as I usually do the big as more nuts. But I will use those guys to guage the real performance of the bike, lol.

Well if I'm flippin' them, I'd still need a camera hand! Right hand not an option!

TheDuck · November 30th, 2008, 09:59 AM

because of the rain and crappy weather this morning, we are meeting at 11AM.

I am just down the street, so I will be at Bagelheads shortly!

HKr1 · November 30th, 2008, 04:06 PM

Still up in Michigan for me. It's snowing again today

GoPro replaced my camera(used broken camera - gopro has awesome service), so we can get some vid too. < That is when ever we make it back home

Well then, looking forward to your return!

The ride today was only me and one other guy on his ZX-14. Once I passed him in some of the twisties, I kept on it for a while because I had nobody else to pass. Before you know it, his headlight disappeared behind me. Its great when the guy on the big bike has to play catch-up!

December 2nd, 2008, 10:01 AM

Yo! Well I'm in upstate south Carolina but i stop by Jacksonville Florida now and than. Let me know if any other rides around.

Well sure! You're invited... but you're in the wrong part of FL. lol. Still, you're welcome to join!

Obsidian · June 21st, 2009, 07:58 PM

I'm up for a ride man. We have another Mobilian here also so maybe we can have 3 250s.

Even though mine isn't that much older, it will sure look like it. lol.

Snake · June 21st, 2009, 08:06 PM

Hey don't forget me here in Louisiana. Your not that far of a ride.

Obsidian · June 21st, 2009, 09:16 PM

Oh definately not Snake. You'll be a couple of hours but we still need to find somewhere to ride around here.

And we are NOT riding in NoLA. Mmmmkay? It's hard to pull the gat out when you're trying to maintain throttle control. lol.

No prob. just find some good roads, a few people to ride with us and lets go.

TheDuck · June 22nd, 2009, 09:40 AM

Lol, its been a while since I returned to this thread, haha!

So anyone else up for a ride who is actually in the NWFL/Lower Alabama area?

zach · June 22nd, 2009, 05:59 PM

I live in Crestview. Just picked up my '06 ninja 250 in navarre today. Rode it around pcola on scenic and 9th and just around town. Where's some good places to cruise around? I'm not much into hauling ass yet haha.

Snake · June 22nd, 2009, 06:02 PM

First of all welcome.

Awesome! There are lots of good places out in the middle of nowhere near Stockton, AL. Also there are severaly good roads in the Blackwater State Forest. Just don't do anything stupid near any place you see houses. Rednecks are known to come running outside with shotguns.

zach · June 22nd, 2009, 11:21 PM

Yeah, especially the ones who don't understand what trespassing is. What group do you ride with out in pcola?

pensacolariders.com should have all the info you need! There are rides and bike night events planned all the time. There is a bunch of Crestview guys that come out here all the time, too.

Obsidian · June 23rd, 2009, 10:57 AM

Let me know when the next planned event is. I'm military so my schedule is always changing but if the timing is good, I'm down.

Was hot as hell yesterday! like HOT! We got together with a couple groups of riders. Some Alabama forum, pensacola riders, florida sportbikers, some chic forum riders. Could count this forum in too, since I was there

Anyway, was a pretty nice ride up around Loxley. About 280 miles for me all together.

Hope to see ya out there some time!

TheDuck · June 29th, 2009, 10:09 AM

Oh, you went out with them? I almost showed for that, haha. I had to rebuild my stupid email servers before customers started to complain, needless to say it was not a fun weekend, bleh!

HKr1 · June 29th, 2009, 02:22 PM

Too bad you had to work.

They were all some real nice people

Yeah, they are usually a pretty cool bunch, though we do get some whiners and problems once in a while.

TheDuck · July 6th, 2009, 11:56 PM

Anyone up for a ride this weekend? We're probably looking at Sunday. A trip through the countryside in an attempt to find...

:: dims the lights and holds a flashlight under his chin :::

*The Ultimate Road*

A friend of mind just got a new red 250 today, too. We're looking to get some miles and some experience under his belt, its his first REAL street bike, not one of those chinese-built oddities that really isn't street legal and blows up every time you roll out of your driveway.

bob706 · July 7th, 2009, 04:52 AM

where and what time?

zach · July 7th, 2009, 06:44 AM

I might be down for Sunday. Just let me know.

TheDuck · July 7th, 2009, 08:03 AM

I will have a time and meeting place put up later on today.

Obsidian · July 7th, 2009, 09:32 AM

Let me know. I have only one road here and I've taken Bob706 on it already. Not really a blast but those roads are fun.

zach · July 7th, 2009, 02:20 PM

Bob, do you take 98 over to Pensacola when you go? If I end up going on Sunday we could meet in Fort Walton and ride down 98 if you want. I'm in Crestview, but I don't use I-10 haha. I'll probably end up taking 90 or 98 depending on my mood and if anyone wants to meet and ride out to Pcola.

bob706 · July 7th, 2009, 02:41 PM

zach, i can meet you in crestview and we can take 90. 98 is boring as heck.
