Some people are getting together to go down for the M&G on Sunday morning. Also down in Cbus area other riders seems they are gathering at Iron pony at noon and than ride to M&G. Maybe we should go as a group to IP and go together to M&G........just a thought ..

Welcome !!!!

Are you guys considering in going to Cbus for M&G ??

Welcome :D:D

Was no one there ?

maybe you should try Craig's list and see if you can get some cash for it, and flip it for a down payment/cash payment for the bike you're looking for. Good luck either way !!

It's kinda of freaky how the time slows down....I can clearly remember the blue sky, the grass,the blue sky, the grass,as I tumbled down the hill, the pinkie finger getting caught in the chin strap and breaking it(don't ask me how that happened...I am still trying to figure it out)...it's so weird how you can re-live the crash specially on the way back home if you are lucky enough to have any bike left to do so. I am happy that everything turned out OK aside from some bruises and broken plastic. I am also sure that this probably will make you a better rider,if not little wiser, just remembering the mistakes that led to your crash. Good luck ,and hurry up fixing the bike .....winter is just around the corner !!

Funny how the guy taping is more interested in knowing Valentino racing position is while all this is taking place ..I would be like ..."Holy shit did you just see that? "... I guess that's what happen when you race at home in front of your home crowd. Glad no one got hurt, but must suck fat one to be out of the race right after the start....all that prep work, out the window !!

I'll give you $100 if you let me tag along ....

Like anyone else, if the weather holds,I am planning to tag along the group ride from up here in NE, and come down there. Wife got Sunday off and home with the kids , so I am good to go .

Hey Tod.... Is the 600 out for the rest of the year ? Would be nice to go on one of your runs when it's not so wet...

I posted a message on the wrong forum...I had to go back and erase it. That's the ...

Rip. If you get a chance read the blog following the article....if I understood correctly, seems that this guy used to be a bar hopper. Wonder if alcohol is part of this story!!

Nice recap...specially about the idiot with the camera @ Wendy! I am glad that no one got hurt.....just some additional work for Mike at Kennedy. By the way Justin... Does Greg R. post here on OR ? We used to go ride together while ago, I would like to see him riding, beside seeing him at the dealership stuffing his face with hot dogs . Just wondering ..... Next time, if you guys go riding, look me up, I'll love to come with you guys (maybe this Saturday/Sunday to Cbus?). I tried once with Uncle Punk but the rain kept most of you at home.

you're right, your is better !

I have to agree about the going down....I have been riding for a while , past 30 years I think, and I went down few times. It sticks in your mind, no doubt. You always worry about what you mentioned....tires giving away, chain breaking, bolts coming loose, cows crossing streets, Amish buggy leaving horse shit all over the place... I am always thinking of that and I learned a great deal of my limitation and capabilities. One thing that work for me before I ride, particularly with a group is to check my ego at the door. Some people ride faster, some slower, I just ride in my comfort "zone" and most of those thoughts don't come into play. Also what worked for me to overcome the initial riding fear, was to switch from sports bike to regular cruiser. I bought myself few years ago a Yamaha Vstar 650. Little bike with little power. I felt very secure riding it, since I didn't have all the horsepower to get myself in trouble. With time I regained the confidence to go back to sports bikes and I am glad I never let the fear of falling again , take over me and away from riding. In the end , I understand if you need some time off .....after all there is no sense of riding if you no longer enjoying it....you can always get back riding once again, as soon as you'll regain your confidence. Good luck either way!!

..

So to recap....who's going from Northeast? I might be able to make it, and I'll love to go down there as a group. Riding to cbus alone =

if the wether looks good , and we got few people going I am in.

Love to come...but got the kids... Happy holiday weekend anyway .....

any good looking chicks on campus?? And by the way ...welcome to the site !!
