chevysoldier Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 We had 15 bikes at the start. Lost a couple, gained a couple. Not as a good turn out as last month but still a good show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevysoldier Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Turns out I didn't stay right at the front either Although you guys were always within sight this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Yes you were chebby soldier man........ however my spidie sense tells me John was sandbaging to get people to stop crashing . But sandbagging or not it was still a great time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Yea, about that..... turns out I was bluffingI pretty much figured that one. I don't think that even playing opera would slow Todd down anyway. He'd just go faster to try to get away from it! Turns out I didn't stay right at the front either Although you guys were always within sight this time.A good bit of the group did stay pretty close, I was at the end of that pack.

But sandbagging or not it was still a great time!The bold part is the point of it all anyway! I was able to figure out some things that I;ve been doing wrong, and started riding much better.

JCMathis Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Thanks for all the pics Chevy. I failed to bring my camera with me this ride so I was hoping someone would snap some.I would not say I was sandbagging, it was more keeping an eye on my other bike. I did not want to see that thing slide across the pavement in my mirror. I thought it was a good pace, never felt like I was above 80% ability.As far as the Sheriff passing, I was more concerned with the second group since I spotted him right away and was able to go by him at 55 and slow the bikes down behind me. The second group was not able to see us slow down though so I thought for sure someone would have been pulled. Todd, we will miss you next month, I hope we won't have a bunch on no shows since you will not be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd, we will miss you next month, I hope we won't have a bunch on no shows since you will not be there. Your welcome, glad I could get a couple. I understand about holding back for the sake of your other bike. ha.All of a sudden I saw nothing but bike brake lights and was like "What the heck" then I saw the light bar. Got the speed down somewhat but don't know what he clocked me at. Someone said they saw him watching his radar and shaking his head. Probably too many bikes and too much paperwork to deal with, or he figured he wouldn't be able to catch up. As of right now I am in for next month. I've been having so much fun on these ride. Thank you to the CSBA and to you for leading us. You do a fine job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilS Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 It was a good pace lots of fun, good time. I too would hate to see that Ape slide across the pavement, its an awful sexy bike.I agree. Seeing an ape slide at 50mph leaves a lot of fur and blood on the pavement, which is simply bad for it and for those in trail. Seeing as how I spent most the day behind it, I can tell you that it sounds very, very, good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCMathis Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 It was great to see what it looks like on the road. I don't usually get to see it since I am riding it when it is out. For a 10 year old bike it sure does look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strictly Street Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 He rides that thing like it is a sportbike, too!I heard I wasn't the only one to go airborne after we passed 22 I think it was.It was only a couple of feet but it sure was a different perspective on the road.
