Pauly Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Meet at Bolivar DQ at 8:00 and rolling by 8:15. Pace will be unnecessarily excessive. Route isn't determined, but it will be twisty and the stops infrequent. No whining allowed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durk Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Fuel pump was shipped today. I may be in for this. If you’ll be stopping at least within say 120 miles or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’ll be stopping at least within say 120 miles or so. I think that is doable. If @Blitz plans to ride, then we will need to stop every 20 minutes for fuel, anyway. 13 minutes ago, Killer_kaw said: Damn. You sure know how to sell a good time. I used to be a salesman, but decided to get a refund from Satan on my soul and chose another path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly Posted September 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 I don't think my route is heading your way. Have a safe trip, Kent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaDoc Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) Is there any mods that will move this to the right section. No respect for rules and etiquette in this place. On an unrelated note, if I have the tire by then may be in for the shenanigans. And on another note, since this was posted up in open public with bolivar as the spot I have a feeling this is going to become a mini dream bomb if the weather is going to hold up as good as it’s doing now 😆 Close to a decade ago same place around same time looks a lot different with 90% of the folks not active anymore Edited September 14, 2019 by NinjaDoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly Posted September 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Passions come and go, Nivin. Lots of members went full track, which is actually a very good thing. I respect the track-only mindset, but it isn't my mindset. I like riding on a race track, but I just like the simplicity of street riding so much more. Maybe one day that will change, but I think I am in this street bike thing for the long haul. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Agree. I've been riding street for 50+ years, since the mid-60s, and still enjoy the act of walking out to the garage and throwing a leg over the bike. No prep, no fuss, no hassle. Instant gratification! Admittedly, the dramatic uptick in poor driving--mostly associated with cell phones and distracted driving--has changed the rules and made it mandatory to maintain constant vigilance. I'm not convinced that even with many years of riding experience that I won't be taken out by someone else's stupidity or arrogance, but the thrill of riding is worth the danger. Disclaimer: I'm old. I'm single. My kids are grown. My house is paid off. No more than a handful of people would miss me if I died. My decision process would likely be different if I was younger and had 2-3 decades of wife and kids ahead of me. YMMV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the slingshot maneuvers or possibly acme rockets. It’ll be a Saturday morning so seems fitting.

durk Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 Is this ride still happening? I don’t want to leave at 6AM tomorrow and find nobody at the DQ. I rode the bike to work today and everything seems to be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
