Post by: Sportfaller on October 17, 2011, 07:53:33 AM
Looks like the temps will be in the mid 50's, getting rain today to settle the dust, little lady is going out of town....

SO:  who wants to ride this weekend? Where?

I'm open for whatever too, I have both days open so far. Sunday is looking like better weather, but a significantly higher chances that I'm incredibly hungover. (the fire chief here is having a birthday party for his cactus Charlie, long story :-\)

dont know if I'm up for single track, my 800 is long and wide.  I did fix my low pegs/bent shifter though!

Whoa! am I ever overdue for a ride....and it just so happens that my new cell phone finally arrived, so I can accept text msg invitations

I've been cheating on the dirt, as my new to me Magna just eats asphalt :evil.

I think the Xbike still runs ???

Heeeyyyyy Mikes back!

Its looking like I'm going to go east to shoot some birds whatever day we DONT go riding, but I'd like to get a consensus so I can situate my schedule.

Sunday has better looking weather...  where are we going to ride? can the route include some sugar shack? I have a hankering!

Hunt saturday, ride sunday. i will ride the WR since you dont like my "dualsport" tires on the GS. So less tarmac, more dirt..... we can explore whatever you think the 800 is up to.

I'll probably join in, as long as its not too rough.  Still nursing my shoulder.  I just heard of a new place up in "moon" country called Summit Fire Tower.  That might be fun.  Anybody have meet times or place.

Sunday, I guess. When/wherever.

The Magna? The 99 Honda Magna that was little old lady owned, that had just 1000 miles put on in the past 7 years? Yup. That one. I've been metric cruising it ever since it came home with me last week ;D I haven't gotten used to the riding position yet, but LOVE the power. It's my new HDEATER :evil I'll get some pics and start a thread.

Some photos from todays ride. Lonesome Dave peeled off shortly after riding proceeded.  Sorry it wasn't light enough for your shoulder Dave. We ended up doing a fairly leisurley ride, although the pace was a bit fast as usual with Sportfaller and Plumber Mike.

Had I known your camera had such a delay, Ida launched it a little higher ::)

Thanks for the pics and the good company. Let's try to get a few more in before it all comes to an end :(

Thanks Jason, but don't worry about me. I enjoyed the lunch and the company.  I wasn't sure about the ride before we started, then with the rain, slippery leaves, and pine needles I just figured I was pushing it.  I ended up in the Deerfield area and made it home around five.  All was good.

Thanks for the pics Jacin!



I think we need a new mainpage topic called "day rides" or "Who's Riding?" or something, I never know where to put these... not really trip planning...  Hank?
