Author Message   Xb12mel Posted on Monday, October 29, 2007 - 04:30 pm:        good idea.... So Kev... when are you thinking about making this run?   Kmfw160 Posted on Monday, October 29, 2007 - 05:29 pm:        Household 6 has authorized riding Sat mornings until noon. I'm down with meeting up around 8ish.   S1wmike Posted on Monday, October 29, 2007 - 06:50 pm:        Hey Kevin Just set a meeting point and I'll be there. It's a good thing I'm not a night owl since I will be coming all the way from the beach Mike ARE YOU TIRED POLISHING YET?????   Tank_bueller Posted on Monday, October 29, 2007 - 10:10 pm:        We might break the space-time continuom by doing this, BUT.... I'll be there too! Mike, It's gonna be cold as a mofo. We could make it 9am at McD's Busch Gardens. Gonna be a long day for you, bro, and I don't know of any Mexican places out there.   Tank_bueller Posted on Monday, October 29, 2007 - 10:12 pm:        *edited* I just read that Kevin wants to be back by noon. Maybe we should make it 8am. Still not sure about the noon deadline???

Damn thats early. lol. 8 sounds good to me(I'll have to ease up on the brew). Anyway, Tank, you're the resident ride logistician(plus you have the GPS)...where to meet? WOOHOO!!!! The infamous KMFW rides again!!! (Message edited by kmfw160 on October 29, 2007) Mike- dude my polishing sucks but I'm gettin better. Subtlety is my game...a little shiny goes a long way. (Message edited by kmfw160 on October 29, 2007)   S1wmike Posted on Tuesday, October 30, 2007 - 08:20 am:        Tank It's ALWAYS!!!! a long day for me when I play in your neighborhood. 3-4 hours for you guys turns into 5-6 hours for me. As far as cold goes I've got gloves, leather and a balaclava. We might break the space-time continuom by doing this, BUT.... I'm not sure if I am ready for the end of the world   Xb12mel Posted on Tuesday, October 30, 2007 - 12:28 pm:        Done by 12? I think I will join in for the fun too... I might look a lil chunky, with my "improvised" cold weather riding gear (lol)   Tranvk Posted on Tuesday, October 30, 2007 - 05:00 pm:        I can't do it this weekend, maybe next weekend. I've been traveling too much and just need to catch up around the house. Get some wind-proof fleece to layer under the jacket, Mel.   Tank_bueller Posted on Tuesday, October 30, 2007 - 10:23 pm:        I'm not sure if I am ready for the end of the world Not the end of the world, my friend... Just the end of a myth.... McD's Busch Gardens 8am Saturday Be there, or be cold somewhere else.   S1wmike Posted on Wednesday, October 31, 2007 - 08:14 am:        I'll be the frozen mass next to the white bike Mike   Stiguy Posted on Wednesday, October 31, 2007 - 02:22 pm:        I'm there... pending approval from cincspouse. I guess I'll have to dig out a couple thermals.   S1wmike Posted on Wednesday, October 31, 2007 - 03:08 pm:        We have 5 yes that is right 5 committed, this could very well be a record. But then again there is the missing man factor. I guess we will see how it goes, in the worst case we can practice our missing man formation (Message edited by S1wmike on November 01, 2007)   Xb12mel Posted on Wednesday, October 31, 2007 - 04:00 pm:        and pour out a lil bit in remembrance -lol   Kmfw160 Posted on Wednesday, October 31, 2007 - 04:05 pm:        I rode to Williamsburg last night at 7 and it wasn't bad at all. I was wearing Draggin Jeans and a Joe Rocket 'Alter Ego' jacket.   Kmfw160 Posted on Wednesday, October 31, 2007 - 04:06 pm:        Do we have a concurrance on when and where to meet? Im thinkin somewhere near Tank's since he's farthest north.   S1wmike Posted on Wednesday, October 31, 2007 - 04:53 pm:        McD's Busch Gardens 8am Saturday close enough for you   Kmfw160 Posted on Wednesday, October 31, 2007 - 08:14 pm:        works for me.   Tank_bueller Posted on Wednesday, October 31, 2007 - 10:16 pm:          Xb12rdavid Posted on Thursday, November 01, 2007 - 07:14 pm:        Hey guys, I introduced myself back a couple of weeks ago, but with TAD and computer problems, I just got back on. Anyway, there is a chance that I might not have duty this Sat, so if you all don't mind an extra body, I would like to get in one this. My wife and the my 3 rug rats are heading to Chicago for a week. So time is precious, and I need to take full advantage of this. I will check back tomorrow and let you all know if I can make it though. Dave   Xb12rdavid Posted on Thursday, November 01, 2007 - 07:33 pm:        Just to introduce myself, I am a Marine Supply Guy at Naval Station Norfolk, but I live out in Va Beach in the Red Mill Subdivision. Catch ya later. Dave   Tank_bueller Posted on Thursday, November 01, 2007 - 11:19 pm:        Dave, Come on out! Take Busch Gardens exit off 64. Follow signs for Williamsburg. Once on rt60, McD's will be on the right. I'm thinking after we leave McD's, the next stop will be West Point for fuel top off(and/or breakfast). After that, I have no idea where we might find gas again. Ya'll know us XB-ers have a limited range due to fuel capacity(and monkey butt).   S1wmike Posted on Friday, November 02, 2007 - 07:26 am:        Dave If you get the kitchen pass and can come , if you want we can meet at the 7-11 on Newtown Rd right off the exit of 264EB and at the corner of Greenwich Rd at 6:45 to ride to Busch Gardens McD's together. Post up and let me know Mike (Message edited by S1wmike on November 02, 2007)   Xb12rdavid Posted on Friday, November 02, 2007 - 08:48 am:        I'm in. Mike I'll meet you at the 7-11 at 6:45. I have a black/red XB12R (plain for now). Dave   S1wmike Posted on Friday, November 02, 2007 - 09:19 am:        Dave See you in the morning just look for the white S1W Mike   Kmfw160 Posted on Friday, November 02, 2007 - 12:55 pm:        The wind is supposed to die off in the morn so we should be good. See ya'll there.   Xb12mel Posted on Friday, November 02, 2007 - 01:54 pm:        Yeah... about that wind! I was gonna ride to work today, but a better educated guess made me climb into my cage. (pretty wicked out there) Any of you well seasoned riders got any tips for high wind riding?   Kmfw160 Posted on Friday, November 02, 2007 - 03:55 pm:        HUNKER DOWN   Stiguy Posted on Friday, November 02, 2007 - 05:15 pm:        I rode today in the wind. I wasn't expecting to have to ride more than 6 miles total, but ended up going across the berkley bridge and everything. It was windy, thats for sure, but to be honest it didn't feel as "crazy" as everyone was telling me I was. Sure, my margin for error was greater, but it didn't seem too bad going back an forth between NNSY and NOB. Anywho, I got approval for the ride tomorrow, so I'm in. It's gonna be damn early. Kevin better appreciate all the work we are all putting in to ride with him!!!   Tank_bueller Posted on Friday, November 02, 2007 - 05:20 pm:        Mel, You might be surprised how well our little bikes handle the wind. I just like to "go with the flow", and try not to make corrections too drastically. Kind of like passing(or being passed by) an 18 wheeler. Just a little lean into the gust should do. The only difference is that you know when the truck is there, but you can't see the wind. This time of year is better because you might see some leaves blowing up ahead, which gives a little warning. Hope that helps?? See ya'll in the morning. Look for the Armored Warrior looking thing on a yellow XB9.
