Uncle Punk Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 Sorry for flaking out on you guys last night on here. I got on using my phone which I hate doing. Once we made contact at the hotel thanks to Pauly I didn't get bock 9n here until I just got home now. Rode about three hours today and got all the life that rear tire had to give. It was great see you again Doc and meeting your friend Dave. He sure isn't shy and for some reason he kept calling me Jesus, how rude.

durk Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 See you boys in the AM. Might be 9:15 when I get there. 6AM departure is early enough. Hoping I can gain 15 minutes on the Old man’s wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 59 minutes ago, durk said: What tires are you running? Dunlop Elite 4's. Dual compound touring tire. Plenty of grip leaned over, great in the rain too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Punk Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 2 hours ago, Tonik said: My Goldwing tires last about 15k. Look at the Goldwing salesman pointing out facts that the Goldwing tires last ten times longer than the stupid single compound track tire that BMW chose to put on the MXR. 1,500 miles on a tire is criminal especially since 1,000 miles of that were under some form of RPM restrictions. At minimum I'm going to find some sort of dual compound tire when replace the set. Perhaps if I add 300 pounds of Goldwing weight to my bike it would increase the mileage on the tires. Some sort of old man math voodoo that I don't possess yet. I was disappointed to miss the chance to meet an RT today......oh and see Pauly too. If tomorrow's weather is as perfect as today's weather it will be a great day for everyone. Speed safely! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Punk Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 And another thing. We used communicators for the ride Friday. It was refreshing to hear the reactions to our Ohio roads. I had no idea there was so much giggling on motorcycle rides! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time we hit 536 I was back in my Ohio gear haha but I love that first day back where every hill is a surprise gift . Is it going to be left or right or straight lol and the non stop roller coaster feel and giggles 😄 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 While my tires are fine, my wife is not fine with the current 48 it is in Cleveland. So we are out, I can't ditch her so we will do something else after it warms up. Very sorry gang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted June 1 Author Report Share Posted June 1 @Tonik Nooooooo how about meet us in Caldwell around 10:15-10:30? Might be more warm by then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if I had tire left today I wouldn't have been able to ride because we have a wedding to go to at 4:00 that's a 55 minute drive away. It's a beautiful morning guys, have fun giggling on your adventures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Mac Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 WoW! Like old times. Thank you Doc for the ride. Had a great time. Only thing missing was Jshaft on his Ninja and me on my Z1K. I tried to represent the aging V-Strom community by chasing you tourist from the south. I even had a stuffed toy on my top case for the GW-ers. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted June 3 Author Report Share Posted June 3 Awesome, ty for the video B, that stretch of 537 was crap lol, you must have been laughing your rear off to see us pavement riders always slowing down and going carefully through that little bit dirt and grime lol You ride that strom like a boss. As always excellent ambassador for the Vstrom brand. I wish I still record videos of rides, there were beautiful roads and views. By any chance you have the segment on 800, that segment was the great finale for the ride once we opened up a bit more. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
