Gixxus Christ! Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 First nice Monday we get me and jamal (Malaysia invasion) will be putting a few hundred miles on the clock. You should come with...we don't ride too hard, especially early in the season when roads are still cold and potentially polluted with salt, loose pavement and the billions of potholes from winter.

Gixxus Christ! Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 First off thank you for your service. Second, that's a hell of a first bike. Take the msf course at state 8. Buy full gear. Head to toe. I will be more than happy to ride with you and teach you what I know. The forum is full of plenty of guys willing to do the same that have more skill and experience than me. This forum is a great resource for everything about riding and also a great place to meet and make friends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 My first bike was a 600rr too, keep a level head and you'll be fine learning on itAlso definitely MSF class and gear are a must.

jd724 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I can't wait for this ride!!! I've never ridden with a group of more than 4 or 5 and in those groups I'm usually the only sportbike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Being the only sport bike in a pack of cruisers is so boring...I did a memorial run a few years back with my f.i.l. and I was bored to tears....they slow down for curves....I would putt like 10 under for a mile or so to put a gap in front of me so I could wing through some nice twisties when we got em but overall it was a waste of a day.

jd724 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Yeah that's pretty much how it was. When I did try and wind her out a bit, one of the guys looked at me and shook his head like I'm a kid misbehaving. Don't think I'm gonna have that problem with this group!!!!

jd724 Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I've been lucky! I haven't had any run-ins with Akron cops. I've had more than a few follow me. My issues seem to happen when I'm out of town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
