Ummm I'm coming from Mobile and as long as it's from a main interstate/highway I'll have no problem finding it. When you're asking me to turn left, go 15 lights then turn right then a u turn at mcdonalds... yea I'm lost. lol

I'm scanning the thread now.

Obsidian · July 11th, 2009, 08:30 PM

Damn this looks easy enough. I-10 east until the 90 off ramp, then 90 east until I see the bagel thingy place?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, in case I get lost. Send me yours if you don't mind. Always good to have back up.

I'll try to be there around 9ish for some be-wreck-fast.

Take your number down before it gets spammed, lol. I texted you so you should have my digits.

Yes its really easy to get there. Bagelheads is just easy to miss because its somewhat obscured.

Obsidian · July 11th, 2009, 09:03 PM

done and done. This place better have some good grub.

Its OK stuff, mostly a breakfast-related place, of course. They are known for being a little stupid expensive on some things though. Don't ask for anything that you don't see a price on and you'll be ok, LOL.

Obsidian · July 12th, 2009, 05:59 AM

Bring you rain gear, just in case. Calling for 40% here in Mobile and 30% in P-cola.

They said that yesterday too, pffft. Yesterday was the best day for riding for weeks!

TheDuck · July 12th, 2009, 02:14 PM

Thanks guys! It was a great ride!

Nobody wrecked, we had a great time and, we got a little stupid on the back roads, yay!

Thankfully I made it home before the last couple of beers kicked in.... lol. Wow, I can't be riding right now!

Diemuzi · July 12th, 2009, 02:17 PM

Was my first ride and I had a blast! Thank you

Good, we're gonna do it again.... in a new forum post!

Obsidian · July 12th, 2009, 02:55 PM

My ass is so damned sore! Curse you ninja 250 seat!!

I caught a heavy down pour for about 2 minutes. After that I was done. Kinda funny.

zach · July 12th, 2009, 03:40 PM

Thanks for letting this beginner tag along guys. Just got back home. Sean and I caught a nice downpour in Pace. Had to stop for a few but after it let up we were in the clear rest of the way to Cview. I think it's time for a nap now....Told you that you were drunk haha.

Obsidian · July 13th, 2009, 02:13 AM

y'know, most vehicles, silver isn't the odd ball color... go me!

We'll have to do this again. I'll keep riding around my area to see if I can find something. Think I'll hold on to the little bike a little longer. I've really got to find a cure to biker butt!

haha. I'm glad I got out of there before yall started riding like that.

The cure for your biker butt..quit being a wuss. I was fine and I have the same seat haha.

CC Cowboy · July 14th, 2009, 07:13 AM

Anyone ever been to this place:

Manci's Antique Club
1715 Main St.
Daphne, AL 36526
251-626-9917
www.manci.net/

I was thinking of hitting it for lunch sometime.

zach · August 19th, 2009, 10:15 PM

Anyone want to ride Sunday, August 23rd? Hoping the weather will finally be cleared up. Haven't got to ride much lately, and was hoping to ride most of the day, just don't know where the hell to go. Any ideas?

You actually read my mind, Diemuzi and I were talking about this! What kind of thoughts do you have in mind?

zach · August 19th, 2009, 11:37 PM

I'm not really sure. I half-assed thought about Orange Beach or something, just a nice cruise. But I don't know. I don't know any of the fun spots to ride around here. Just figured Sunday would finally be a day we could probably ride since it's been raining like a son of a bitch lately every day out here. I get off at 2am Saturday night/Sunday morning and could probably be up and riding by 9 or 10. If you have any ideas, I'm down.

bob706 · August 20th, 2009, 06:47 AM

+1 for the 23rd

Diemuzi · August 20th, 2009, 07:56 AM

I've got a date on the 23rd, but if for some reason that changes then count me in.

But you have to ride to the date! We can all come with you and get greased up and jump in a pile!

Having a first date and a bunch of bikers behind me might not be the best impression lol, would be kinda funny though.

I think you guys have the wrong idea on the whole, "Group Rides" forum...haha. Anyways, any ideas yet?

Obsidian · September 17th, 2009, 08:44 AM

Hey Duck! I haven't forgotten about you guys and I keep looking to see if there is another ride going down.

Also, what was that twisty road we went down? I keep going to the same area but I can't find it! Tell me! Please!

I don't like posting that stuff publicly... law enforcement likes to read forums, too!

Not that we're going to do something illegal, but there's no sense in inviting an officer that hates sport bikes into the area.

Look for an PM from me.

Obsidian · September 17th, 2009, 10:40 AM

Understood. Thank you very much. It is a very good road to practice and ride on. You don't even have to do anything crazy to enjoy it.

TheDuck · September 17th, 2009, 11:10 AM

Its no Deals Gap, but it works.

The only problem with the roads around here is they aren't twisty enough (Deals Gap speed limit is 30mph and you don't need much more than that.)

In order to get the same *feel* on our small bendy roads you have to go faster. Plus we have no banked turns or anything spectacular, bleh.

Time to build a mountain of dirt someplace, and wrap a road around it.

zach · September 17th, 2009, 11:22 AM

You haven't answered when the hell we're going to ride again haha. Hit me up with that road information too. I keep thinking about heading back up there sometime, especially the road where you might lose your lunch.

bob706 · September 17th, 2009, 11:31 AM

Knox Hill Road is kinda short but fun. Let me know if anyone wants to ride
