jacobhawkins Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 I'll be a "control rider" for Suzuki tomorrow at Iron Pony. I want to see some friendly faces so stop on over! They are also doing demos today. I'm looking forward to riding a Vstrom and, of course, the Busa! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limitedslip7 Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 What time? The GF is taking scuba classes right down the road from Iron Pony tomorrow from 4-8PM and I'm just going to be sitting around bored for four hours... I'll come beat up on some bikes if it's still going on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobhawkins Posted July 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 9-5, stop over earlier if you can and sign in, I think spots fill up. Either way, stop over and say hey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 I might head up that way tomorrow. Got nothing else to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobhawkins Posted July 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Dad will be there early to sign up. I'm seriously curious about the Vstroms, probably headed for a 650, hope to be on one much of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't visually confirm busa, but they had one at PIRC demo days at last year's MotoAmerica race. Saw several GSXRs, both sizes of the Stroms, various cruisers, etc. Edited July 15, 2018 by jacobhawkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't give a single shit about a busa, but I'd like to try a Strom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and @B-Mac should go on an ADV ride sometime. I'm going to sell one in the garage to get a strom based on one ride with him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo72 Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) I was over there for a bit yesterday. I was surprised to see that they had a GSXR 1000. In the fleet. I was tempted to try it but I was short on time. How are the wait times today? Edited July 15, 2018 by Wojo72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the busa is your typical demo bike? 😉 They're behind schedule but i only waited 1.5 laps. 8 riders at a time unless they put in another spotter. not many are getting in for a 2nd go.(lower priority) Edited July 15, 2018 by motocat12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limitedslip7 Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Thanks for the ride Jacob! I think I got lucky by only having to wait 5 min. Rode the GSX-S750. Definitely a smooth bike compared to my Speed Triple but could use a steering damper and some more torques. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been street riding with him before and he’s smooth and runs a great pace, but dude is a beast on that strom in the dirt. You should try the DR also. I wish I didn’t sell the one I had for a short time. The XR650L is a great bike, especially off road, but the DR has excellent road manners and is still off road capable. i don’t think everyone can rock a vstrom off road like bmac does.

8Rider6 Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 I might have seen you, I was in the 11:45 group and maybe talked to you briefly about the gsxr 750 afterwards. I want to to try some other bikes, but didn't want to wait around on standby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobhawkins Posted July 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Cool man, I remember taking to someone about a 919, must have been you. Standby was brutal for some folks. Two guys waited 4 hours for a second ride and got in on the last one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8Rider6 Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Yep, that was me. Haha, glad I didn't wait around then, just went home and rode my other bike a few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
