Author Message   S1wmike Posted on Friday, February 06, 2009 - 09:57 pm:        First ever HRH power play Poe's Pub to Pungo we can run route 10 back from Richmond through Suffolk with the appropriate detours and run the Pungo loop backwards starting on Battlefield Blvd. I t will be a long fun day. Just a thought think about it and post up. This Sunday is susposed to be perfect.   Tank_bueller Posted on Saturday, February 07, 2009 - 12:06 am:        In... but not directly through Suffolk. (bad news) (Message edited by Tank_Bueller on February 07, 2009)   S1wmike Posted on Saturday, February 07, 2009 - 06:53 am:        Meet at BG McD's at 8:00 roll out 8:15 ish   Puphaphil Posted on Saturday, February 07, 2009 - 08:05 am:        Well...depending on wife status, I may meet up with y'all at the McD's just to have breakfast and B.S. for a few before y'all roll out...then head back this way. At least I may get to ride for a few minutes! Of course, this all depends on the inbound midget.   Xb12mel Posted on Saturday, February 07, 2009 - 12:37 pm:        So it's on then.... BG McD's It is. Anyone riding out today? text me if you are. I'm going to take one of my daughters out with me.   Xb12mel Posted on Saturday, February 07, 2009 - 10:57 pm:        Ok, Slight change in plans on my part. I can't ride out. Got Kiddy Duty. Have fun fellows!!!   Puphaphil Posted on Sunday, February 08, 2009 - 01:08 pm:        Sorry I didn't make it to McD's to at least B.S. for a hot minute...wifey was in false labor most of last night...she's having more contractions and pain right now, so it could be anytime....hope y'all had a good ride!   Xb12rdavid Posted on Sunday, February 08, 2009 - 10:25 pm:        Hey Mel, How did you get out? Anyway, I went out with the Marines and some Sailors in my shop. We rode out by Elizabeth City and back again. It was a good ride. I opened it up this time and got up to 120. Wow that felt good. Anyway, the bike is up till the parts come in, I need new tires now. As always, I look to the experts, from the forum. Should I stay with the same Pirelli Diablo's or get the Corsa III that it should have come with?   Xb12mel Posted on Monday, February 09, 2009 - 09:56 am:        I've run both now, and I think for the durability, I've returned to the Diablo T's. The Corsa III's were great in the Mountains, but they didn't seem to like my high mileage Interstate travel as much as the Diablo T's did. I averaged little more then 5K on each of the T's and only got a good 4K on the Corsa III. But, if I knew I was going to hit the Mountains on a regular basis, I'd stick with the III's.   Xb12rdavid Posted on Monday, February 09, 2009 - 12:06 pm:        Any other tires? Any other Comments? Thanks Mel.   Frinzo Posted on Monday, February 09, 2009 - 01:18 pm:        I have the pilots on mine, i like them. i cant say how they compare to stock tires as i havent had those. but i would say that im at about 4k miles and still lookin good   S1wmike Posted on Monday, February 09, 2009 - 04:03 pm:        The first HRH power play ride was a complete success approximately 350 miles of fun and sun. I would recommend this as a Spring or fall run because by the end of the day in full gear it would be a tad warm. Tank Thanks and to those who missed it, YOU MISSED IT!!!! Go to Buell.com and print off your free tire gauge coupon   Tank_bueller Posted on Monday, February 09, 2009 - 04:51 pm:        +1 You Missed it!!! Thank you Mike! David. If you are looking for performance, the Corsa III's are where it's at. Plus not too bad for mileage with the triple compound rear and double front. Not being a fan of "mileage" tires, I am really impressed with the Diablo Stradas the the XT came with. They have 3k on them now and look to go for another 3k, and have never given signs of being even close to letting go. Nice tires!   S1wmike Posted on Monday, February 09, 2009 - 05:34 pm:        David I'm on Dunlop Qualifiers 208, they heat up quick and are sticky, but I'm told I ride like a girl. I only get about 4000-5000 miles before needing replacing. I may be a little premature but I do like have good tires( they are worn pretty good before I replace them)just installed my third set of tires in less than 2 years.   Xb12rdavid Posted on Tuesday, February 10, 2009 - 07:28 pm:        So far I have to double check (I am in TX) but I am over 7000 miles and this will be the first change. So I am just seeing what if I can get more out of any other tires.   Puphaphil Posted on Wednesday, February 11, 2009 - 12:05 pm:        Mike, I don't think the Weekend Rides section is a good forum area to talk about your problem with being premature...hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...just kidding... Dave, I haven't changed my tires yet, so I can't help you on this one, bud.   S1wmike Posted on Wednesday, February 11, 2009 - 02:58 pm:        Phil was that premature or immature???????   Nillaice Posted on Wednesday, February 11, 2009 - 09:03 pm:        dave, i liked the sync's mine had on it when i bought it. i got poor mileage outta the diablo rear, but that may have been my own doings   S1wmike Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2009 - 10:03 pm:        Anyone interested in a Knott's Island err/Pungo Loop on Saturday Meeting at SSHD @ 9{00 Estimated mileage 150-200 miles, There will be some boring connection sections but we will run the technical section of Pungo twice(West Neck to Morris Neck) once in each direction and will finish back at SSHD   Nillaice Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2009 - 10:56 pm:        i'm there   Puphaphil Posted on Friday, February 20, 2009 - 07:47 am:        Saturday is Wifey's birthday...no can do. Next time...though   Xb12mel Posted on Friday, February 20, 2009 - 01:13 pm:        Let me check, I just told the wife i didn't have anything to do tomorrow. So, I need to give her first dibs now... So, call me a possible....   Jason13 Posted on Friday, February 20, 2009 - 04:43 pm:        i fill like pooh but im going to try to make it sounds fun   Xb12mel Posted on Saturday, February 21, 2009 - 07:24 am:        Nope, not going. I'll have to catch up with you guys later on this one. Have a safe ride!   S1wmike Posted on Sunday, February 22, 2009 - 10:13 am:        The Knott's Island Ferry/Pungo loop was a good ride. The transition from the ferry to the twisties was a bit longer than expected, about 40-45 miles, but we found a new twist by mistake. Douglas Rd. it runs between Benefit and Rt.17. It is a real nice road. We cut the ride short for food but if we continued back to SSHD i think it would have been somewhere around 180-200 miles ad about 70% of that the good stuff. Thank to everyone that showed up and we will have to do this on a warmer day when more people can make the ride (Message edited by S1wmike on February 22, 2009) (Message edited by S1wmike on February 22, 2009)   Frinzo Posted on Sunday, February 22, 2009 - 11:42 am:        yep, i wish i could have gone but i had other things to get done..till next time.   09xb12r Posted on Sunday, February 22, 2009 - 12:49 pm:        Hey hopefully I will be able to make it to the next one sounds like it was a lot of fun   Nillaice Posted on Sunday, February 22, 2009 - 01:50 pm:        i wanna get more comfortable/re-familiarized before MB6. i'd like to ride with you guys, but i don't wanna 'poop a party' let's be blunt here folks, i have a way of making an ass of myself. if i'm not working and it's nice out i'll saddle up. if i'm not welcome, just set-up a phake e-mail account and clue me in. i'll ride elsewhere's/later and i won't get my panties all bunched-up about it.   09xb12r Posted on Sunday, February 22, 2009 - 07:04 pm:        hey matt dont be butt hurt i understand with the wife and having to work so when i ride and its the weekend i will give you a call   S1wmike Posted on Thursday, March 05, 2009 - 08:34 am:        POE'S SUNDAY BGMcD's 8:00????????????
