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. |

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! |

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! Last futzed with by TheDuck; November 29th, 2008 at 08:50 PM. |

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! |

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

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.

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. |

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.
