I'm pretty sure I will be riding down solo again! (GF working like crazy hours with her job short staffed) Win for me! :)

Man May 20th cannot get here fast enuff! Ordered and received that MRA X-screen touring(clear) add-on. (Joe had one on his Yamaha during the October Deals Gap trip).

Cant wait to test it out. Soon as the temps warm up some and this damn rain stops!!!

New battery is sitting next to me waiting to go into the bike. Hopefully I get alot of riding time and miles in long before the Ohio ride comes, to see if that the problem with my bike comes back. Hopefully NOT! heh

 

I've joined several facebook riding groups and I'm overall trying to find more folks to ride with, maybe its only me coming down from Michigan, maybe more? heh

Have you heard of the MSTA club?  There's a sizeable group out of Michigan.  http://ridemsta.com/srblog/

I plan to attend their annual rally in Colorado Springs this summer.

I was there!  Syd always hosts a great event.  Sadly we missed it last year because we did the Horizons Unlimited meeting in North Carolina.

Nivin would have been the skinny, 7/11-brown guy with the biggest smile you've ever seen. You cannot miss him if you meet him. You only miss him after you meet him. ❤

Amazing guy. He walks on air.

Mike (R1 guy) has already told me he wont be able to attend this years Epic May ride! :(

S1000 rider? What person you talking about, I'm not sure what rider your talking about Niv?

 

Yea Michigan sucks in terms of "lots of twisty twisty roads", but makes up for it for Scenic things up north and many other places! My state is great for Cruiser Motorcycles! :(

Not really any good "Clubs" that would be the Ideal "fit" for me here in Michigan!

There are 3-4 Sport Touring types of clubs in here that are good and active, but I dont have the type of Job and lifestyle that fits with me being able to take a bunch of Epic long trips during each year, etc! Sportbike clubs here... A few that I know and knew of and was apart of have all gone belly-up for the most part.

MSTA :Michigan Squad.

Had some drama and something like 200-225 member QUIT, then formed their own new Club.

The "MSTR" aka Michigan Sport Touring Riders.  http://mstriders.com/

Yea Greycat is busy doing family stuff each weekend for the month of May. Hes got a toyhauler now, fixed his YFZ-450 dirt bike, 4x4 atv to take his family camping n off-roading!

I dont think anyone else from Michigan will be joining me down to the May epic ohio ride, but I'm hopeful.

 

Yea, hopefully you can make it out for the ride and we can ride some! :)

In @snot 's case she has both of @Hellmutt 's balls in her purse.  So the question is, how does this shirt work for Hellmutt.

Oh har har!  Only reason she keeps 'em is because I got sick of sitting on 'em all the time, you of all people should know how that feels, Mr Lowraisins.  Speaking of which, if balls are a requirement to wear this shirt....how can raisins qualify you to own one @Tonik?

I make up for it with a really large dick. Or being one. Something like that.
