turnone Posted May 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Took 42E just outside of the dealership and rode that back to Florence Yall. Then ran the slab home from there. 42 was nice ride.Thanks!Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnone Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) You suck Chris!! I am SO jealous! You have some really cool bikes man!! Can I be you for a day? Lol See ya at the track!Thanks for the compliment.I would love to trade places with you for a bit, especially if it includes a few CRP and PIRC sessions I Look forward to the next round. PIRC was a great track. That size allows more time between shifts, far easier on my achilles.Chris Edited May 31, 2012 by turnone sp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rctaylor Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 If that speedo is correct, then you are nuts!!I always see the pool of stagnant water under the first tree and let off.Beautiful bike, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Nice! My mom lives right off 42 near LaGrange. Good road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnone Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 If that speedo is correct, then you are nuts!!I always see the pool of stagnant water under the first tree and let off.Beautiful bike, man.Speedo is pretty much correct. I wasn't going very fast as I didn't have on my gear. Hit the apex of the corner and drift wide and you will miss the puddle completely.Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imaposer Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Yes, too late to do you any good now, but if you have to go back down there for service or whatnot, Cross the river and take Indiana 62 north/east to Dillsboro, then take 262 south/east to rising sun. Much better route for a duc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
