Doc I always thought the VFR was 500 wet. I dont want to push it to much and lay the bike down. Would ruin my riding plans in May.
-
The turnpike has been 70mph for awhile.
-
I am excited about moving some of the 55mph roads to 60mph as well.
-
My brother in law has a k1200 r and lives in north georiga right by blue ridge. I r jealous.
-
Are going to need to take it easy for sure. Going to be alot of junk on the roads.
-
Can't believe what im reading lol. Rhill on the street again.
-
New sig quote. And you know im in Doc.

-
wow.. im all for a 500 mile day every once in awhile but 400 for just the ride itself is pretty long. But I wont be there anyways so idgaf.
-
All valid points. Track day it is lol.
-
I have another epic ride planned with doc for this year. But really wanted to be there for this big one.
-
Now I am torn between what to do. First track day or to go on this ride
-
Damn... Welcome hudak
-
I should have done some more searching.. they had their summer boxers on sale for $9.00 All they have left is small now :/
-
Thanks man, just orderd one myself.
-
Will probably only ride down for a day then back up north again. May 4th is a moto series track day at nelsons ledges so I will be there if that day is picked.
-
Think it needs to be warmer than 160 for vtec to kick in yo.
-
Right in time for me to need some new tires.

First ride ever was on my VFR. Came home after riding around for about half hour with no issues and on cloud 9. When I stopped in the driveway I has my front wheel turned to the left and somehow the bike ended up on its left side in the driveway Two weeks later I was practicing slow manuvers for my license test in an empty parking lot. Went to make a right out of the parking lot and stalled it while leaned over, fell on its right side. So now both sides were messed up within 2 weeks of me owning it but havent had any issues since. Thinking of buying new plastics but I know as soon as I do something else dumb is going to happen.
-
Thanks guys, im a little nervous but more excited than anything. I am about 5'10 and 190 so they might fit.
-
Sounds good. Il be there May 5th. Il be the one on the flat blavk vfr who doesn't know what's going on.
-
Il see if I can find a used set. Watching videos of nelsons I noticed all the patch work on the track. How does that affect the handling in the turns? Makes me a little nervous about going over it.
-
Thanks Ryan, if you all suggest a motoseries event then I will probably try to go to the one on May 5th. It on my birthday, and would be leaving for deals gap a day or two after that with doc. My other issue is that I only have an alpinestars textile jacket and pants that zip together. I read that should be fine for the novice, but for intermediate it is frowned upon. And yes this would all be done on the VFR.

PIRC is roughly 20 minutes from my house so its pretty convienient. I am 100% open to whatever you guys would suggest as the first track day I should do. Apparently in the tracktactics you pick a class and then they will watch and see how you do and move you to where you think you should be riding. I would obviously pick the slower class. As for being smooth on the gas, knowing where to look, body position etc.. I would like to think that I do all that, but never had anyone watch and critique. I rode with RHill a little last year, maybe he has some input. But I would still be more comfortable with some class time first. Have also been out with J_Copeland and Hailwood once.
