I dont have a chatter box, but I do have midland two-way radio with a helmet headset. I was just wondering if I should wire up my helmet or not.

[aaw749r]

Its not as compact as a chatterbox, so I dont leave the headset rigged up unless I'm going to use it

[A Ninja Boot]

It's raining, are you guys still going?

[ZX10Rob]

This really sucks not going.

[Sprocket]

Yeah, I'm out. Maybe later this afternoon it will dry out.

[Calicronic]

I'm still down if it dries up.

[PRTSMN]

clouds & rain suggest that i clean my bike, maybe later it will dry up:(

[Joe Average]

hah. it's fitting you bastids don't get to ride today. i gotta work, no one should get to ride. sorry, just bent about having to work on sunday. think i'd be use to it by now.

[Calicronic]

clouds & rain suggest that i clean my bike, maybe later it will dry up:(

I'm getting up to clean mine right now too....i'm riding today one way or another. If not...i guess it will be EXTRA clean for a ride tomorrow;)

[A Ninja Boot]

I guess I'll watch some Airwolf on Veoh. Then maybe I'll clean my bike.

[aaw749r]

Rain Rain Go Away
Come Back Another Day

say like tuesday or wednesday or something

[ZX10Rob]

How about Monday?

[aaw749r]

Whenever it is dry I am game.
My only other plans for this weekend involve prints, shop drawings, and quotes.....YAWN....

[ZX10Rob]

Let me know, Monday is my last day of vacation and for the next month or two it looks like 7 days a week of work busy times. So if somone is going call me 304-8641.

[Calicronic]

Let's shoot for tomorrow morn then? I'm cleaning the garage...then cleaning the bike...gonna do all the "have to do's" today...then I will be free and clear for tomorrow.

[A Ninja Boot]

It's been raining since I got up at 4am, how good are the streets really going to be tomorrow?

[aaw749r]

Tomorrow morning is good for me, I'm on a roll with the paper work right now.
Perhaps I'll have a chance ot get the starter back in the R and I'll take that!!!

[aaw749r]

It's been raining since I got up at 4am, how good are the streets really going to be tomorrow?

Where do you live?
It's not rained since 10 here, just cloudy.

[CRASH972]

If it's dry monday I'm in for a ride.

SA are you in.

[ZX10Rob]

I live in Parlier. I was just pulling my bike out jacket on gloves and helmet because the road was dry and no rain in sight. As soon as I got out of the garage it began to sprinkle.

[Calicronic]

I finally gave up on riding today. Finished cleaning the bike...looked like an idiot as the neighbors were driving by and I was outside washing the bike as it was sprinkling. It will be nice and purty for tomorrow though;).

[aaw749r]

OK - If the weather gods permit we will meet at Riverbucks at 8:30AM decide on a route and leave no later than 9:30AM.

All in agreance?

[A Ninja Boot]

Yup, if the weather is good, then Riverbucks it is. I'm not going ot ride fast at all if we decide to go. I am not a big fan of riding the hill side after rain storms.

[BlooDSMeaR]

is that going to be monday then? still have a chance for rain.......... it'll be cleared up by noon

[Calicronic]

OK - If the weather gods permit we will meet at Riverbucks at 8:30AM decide on a route and leave no later than 9:30AM.

All in agreance?

Sounds good to me...i'm in.

+1...plus i'm slow anyways;):D

[ZX10Rob]

I'm in and I'll hang with you louie.

[Calicronic]

Sounds like a plan...bringing the 14 out right? Still haven't got to check it out.

[ZX10Rob]

If going to the hills one of the 10s if hanging around town or not so many curves I'll do the 14 if not maybe I'll ride your way Madera and we could go get a bite to eat.

[BlooDSMeaR]

Riverbucks = Star bucks at the river park?

[Calicronic]

If going to the hills one of the 10s if hanging around town or not so many curves I'll do the 14 if not maybe I'll ride your way Madera and we could go get a bite to eat.

I'm staying in Fresno right now. I need to get another bike for the hills so I have options too...lol.

Riverbucks = Star bucks at the river park?

Yup...you got it.

[Zoxx]

I might be in for this ride. It just depends when I get off work. I am suppose to get off at 730 in the morning but that NEVER happens.

[NinjaMBee]

just be careful out there everyone cause u know those memorial day drivers hurrying out for beer, chips and bbq stuff. I am sure ppl will be goin out fishing with their boats too. Forecast looks like its gonna be warm and sunny tomorrow. So enjoy!

[aaw749r]

I'm not a speed demond in the hills either. I prefer a semi-spirited ride with relaxing undertones of cruiz. That sounds like a high end whiskey description.
Just looking to get out and ride. Stoping for lunch somewhere is good.

(Who said whiskey? Damn, now I'll get nuthin done this afternoon)

[A Ninja Boot]

For anyone that is slow, don't worry about. I'll ride sweep and you can ride as slow as you want.

[kidmoua]

I'll see if I can make it out with you ladies tomm

[Zoxx]

Yeah, I don't ride fast at all. I just like to get out and ride with some other bikes. There is no need for me to either: A - Eat **** and die from riding way outside my skill and way to fast. B - Get a damn ticket for speeding!

[aaw749r]

I'll see if I can make it out with you ladies tomm

I hope the spider monkey can make it!

[Calicronic]

I'm pumped...looks like we should have a good turnout tomorrow if the weather permits.

[ZX10Rob]

Zoxx what do you do that you work 3rd shift? The ride sounds good and I'm up for lunch.

[Zoxx]

Zoxx what do you do that you work 3rd shift? The ride sounds good and I'm up for lunch.

Yeah I work 11p to 730a. Fun stuff doing what you have to do to move up :rolleyes: I have to run nights before I move up the totem poll and don't have to ever work nights again! :eek:

[ZX10Rob]

But what do you do? I worked graves for a lot of years and mostly by choice. I kinda like it.

[kidmoua]

I hope the spider monkey can make it!


I'll try..

[Zoxx]

But what do you do? I worked graves for a lot of years and mostly by choice. I kinda like it.

I'm the overnight manager at Winco Foods in Clovis.

I'm the overnight manager at Winco Foods in Clovis.

dude..I work next door and I'm usually there around 1130-midnight reading at the magazine rack:D

[LDH]

I drove to Monterey and back today and noticed a lot more CHP's out than usual so be careful.

[NinjaMBee]

this ride is startin to sound pretty tempting with the child being at her friends and all...i may be able to stop in if weather permits. I will be next to last in line tho...sounds like yall dont have a prob with it. :D

[A Ninja Boot]

No I'll be last with my first aid kit and such. I am riding sweep tomorrow, so if you want to ride slow it won't bother me. I have my riding over the limit for the track.

[ZX10Rob]

ok it's 8:30 right?

[NinjaMBee]

8:30 meet, leave at 9:30...wow u guys are early birds. Usually women are the ones early :p Asked the man to join, but hes not a morning person so looks like me...tre said he wanted to join, but i dont think hell be up that early. Riverbucks it is. If anything different, please correct. Ill be checkin back in the am before i leave.

[aaw749r]

As of 11:30 the weather looks as if it is gonna be a nice day. May be a little chilly at first but it beats 100+.

See you all in the AM

Goodnight.

[ZX10Rob]

Raining pretty good in Parlier right now.

[KARRDICK]

I hope the spider monkey can make it!

how did he come to be the spider monkey? Did I miss an episode?

[aaw749r]

It is just getting all the oil off of the road for us. It'll be perfict tomorrow. OK it is 12:40, it'll be great in the morning!

It is sprinkeling here too.:confused:

Here is to whishfull thinking.

See you guys in the morning.

Ray

[aaw749r]

[CRASH972]

[A Ninja Boot]

It stopped rainning now.

[BlooDSMeaR]

[ZX10Rob]

Still raining over here so I guess it next time, you guys have a good holiday.

[Calicronic]

Not raining right now...roads are a little wet though. Maybe give it til mid morning?

[A Ninja Boot]

So are we going to push back the time maybe 9:30 10am?

[Sprocket]

I'm ready to go when the road dry up

[ZX10Rob]

Yeah if it dries up a bit I'm in.

[ZX10Rob]

Thayne, boy I like the color of your bike. :D

[A Ninja Boot]

Well, if it dries up here in the valley doesn't mean it's dry in the mountians. Just means hidden wet roads shawdowed by the trees.

[aaw749r]

I'm taking it kinda slow but I am headding up to Riverbucks. Should be there about 9:00. At least come have breakfast with me and see what the weather does. The birds are chirping which is a good sign.

Any questions
call me 307-9552

[ZX10Rob]

Very true, I think I might stay in town and ride to dinner or something go searching for a Busa or two eat on my 14.

[Calicronic]

I'm in, pretty much free all day.

[A Ninja Boot]

Same here wife is going to the movies with her sister.

[ZX10Rob]

The streets are still pretty wet down here maybe later this afternoon.

[aaw749r]

OK push that back to 9:30. I need to wear something a little different. Was gonna wear the one peice, but, .....naaaaa

I'll see you at 9:30

[ZX10Rob]

Who's headed up there right now or at 9:30?

[Sprocket]

Thayne, boy I like the color of your bike. :D

I like the color of yours too :cool:

[Calicronic]

Thayne, boy I like the color of your bike. :D

I like the color of yours too :cool:

You two should get a room...a private room!!:p:D

I'll be there between 9:30 and 10. Just see how things play out I guess.

[ZX10Rob]

Louie don't hate buy a Kawi. You riding there? You're in Madera right?

[Sprocket]

I'll head over there bewteen 9 and 9:30. At least for a coffee :D I wish the sun would come out!

[Sprocket]

Louie don't hate buy a Kawi. You riding there? You're in Madera right?
Or he could paint his Busa lime green! Prolly add 5-10 horse power :D

[A Ninja Boot]

I'll go there at 9:30am maybe a little after. I'll come dressed to ride though.

[Calicronic]

Louie don't hate buy a Kawi. You riding there? You're in Madera right?

I'm riding. I'm livin in Fresno right now. My father in law retired a little over a year ago and left us a house(all they do now is travel). We were just gonna sell it and buy a house in madera, but with the way the market is right now, we are just gonna sit on it until things go back up a bit. Then back to Madera I go!!

[Calicronic]

To tell you the truth I LOVE the front end on the 14!! Something about the way way the lights are set up. The only thing i didn't like was the plastic fin looking thing on the side. And, for the record...I can't stand the new Busa. That rear end is hideous. If I was going brand new I would go with the 14.

[Sprocket]

Yep :cool:

[Calicronic]

Yep :cool:

That's funny, The two colors I had picked out before I painted mine was blue(color I went with) and a candy apple green. Being that I am gonna need to have it repainted anyways...you never know, I may just go with the green for next year.

[GsxR1000Ryda]

so whats the deal. is there really people riding today?

[Calicronic]

looks like were gonna try!!

[aaw749r]

I'm swinging a leg over as I type.
Stay Dry

[Calicronic]

Gettin dressed and will see you over there.

[A Ninja Boot]

Half dressed and will be getting gas on my way there.

[Sprocket]

on my way

[Zoxx]

Damn great ride guys. Thanks for letting the nub join the party! I had a blast! Power House made me pucker a few times but it was a blast.

[ZX10Rob]

Sorry I had to bail early but I was on the wrong bike for the ride although I did enjoy the bit that I rode for and it was great meeting you guys. I did feel my rear tire slipping and I went a little wide once or twice :eek: so I had to turn back, the extra 7 " on the swing arm are not good for twisties but next time it's one of the 10s.

[Calicronic]

Everyone made it back in one piece. Great ride today guys...had lots of fun!!

[Sprocket]

Aside from the fog and the sand in the road (not fun!) it was a pretty awesome ride :) My little slide made me pucker a bit LOL

[A Ninja Boot]

Yeah, running a little wide on Powerhouse got me. That's the 3rd time that turn has gotten me. Good riding guys and a nice easy pace, hopefully no one felt to pressured to ride faster.

[Calicronic]

Here's a couple of pics, these were taken close to the top of the 4 lane. It was a bit foggy and a little cold, but nothing unbearable.

Thanks to Ray for letting me sample the 749...I may have to get me one of those;):D

That means I may have to change my name to Duccronic1098:eek::eek:...lol.

[Sprocket]

The pace was fine for me :)

[aaw749r]

Had a great time. The fog made it interesting huh?
Gotta just let it do it's own thing in the sand and not fight it too much, it'll come back to ya, usually.

I barely made it back to the shop on the fuel I had. I think the low fuel light turned from amber to red then started flashing.

We went out 211 to North Fork, back down on Powerhouse, back up Auberry to the top of the 4-lane which is where we ran into the fog then down the 4 lane and back to town on Auberry.

Had a great time. Post the pics Augie.

Ray

[NinjaMBee]

well glad to hear yall had fun, and by the sounds of it...ur slow is NOWHERE near what MY slow is. haha Glad everyone is safe and sound tho. Maybe ill catch up with u guys next time. :cool:
