ReconRat Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Sportbiker friendly? Or just tolerated...Dunno, I ride a naked standard, and they don't have any idea what it is. Almost always they've never seen a 919 before. Usually at least a few sportbikes will be there. Once I was the only non-cruiser, it didn't matter. Had one run where they were all active duty police, emts, and retired sheriffs and such. It was great. You could always put some highway pegs on your front forks, heh. Kinda blend in...

Disclaimer Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 You could always put some highway pegs on your front forks, heh. Kinda blend in... Thanks for the advice... I'd probably pull all the side fairings off too, just to be safe. As long as you can see the engine, I'm good right?I'm trying to talk my ol' man into having the CBX done by then. I have a feeling I'd get significantly less shit from people if I'm riding with a guy on a CBX. Well, except for the Harley guys - maybe he should bring the Buell instead?Since you've been on the ride, how is it? Can you compare it to Mohican? I've never been to the Hocking Hills area, and I've never done a Poker Run, so I was kinda hoping to kill two birds with one stone on this one.

ReconRat Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I've not been on many poker runs myself, usually just cruiser runs very early in the year. They get out way before everyone else. I like the Hocking Hills and Wayne forest areas. Lots and lots of trees, with decent roads in most places. I've not fully explored Mohican yet. But riding solo in Hocking is probably more difficult. Corners aren't marked as well, many many cages, and the terrain is a bit more so compared to Mohican. Some will say a lot more gravel after rainstorms. I always have fun in Hocking Hills area, no matter what group it is. I often have Fridays off and ride solo there. The latest big ride (escorted parade) in Hocking is the Hocking Ride for the Red. I'm hoping a bunch of us will turn out for that one. More info when it gets a date set for it.Consider temporarily installing straight pipes...I'm actually thinking about adding a couple of small fairing pieces, street-fighter stuff. And even considering buying a used cruiser, but it would have to be a sport-cruiser. Got to have some lean clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerpaw Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Beautiful area. Unfortunately last time I was there there was fresh gravel on every corner of the freshly paved road(shoulder work truck being sloppy). I slowed way down the rest of the day. On my way home I still kept it slow, but a Harley rider lowsided. They weren't wearing helmets and his wife had to be aerovacced out. I was one of the first people on the scene, and it still haunts me a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
