Author Message   Nutsnbolt Posted on Sunday, February 04, 2007 - 08:19 am:        Mike and I are riding today. P.S. I will post later. Mike is planning that trip to Michael's in a week or two. I'm gonna get some more details. By the way, Carlos, I stopped by Mike's house yesterday (he was playing croquet in the cold) and I told him you'd like to meet us on the way up. He was excited to say the least. So, yeah, it's a done deal. I will let you know when we plan on doing this. He's also looking for people to head out to the Mts. and Atlanta soon. I'll get the details on that. Later. Mark   M2nc Posted on Sunday, February 04, 2007 - 10:20 am:        Mark - I am going to wait until 11am and then I will be heading to Jacksonville with the wife on the Uly. The plan is to ride from here to New River HD and pick up two Buell toboggans Then we will ride to Old Maple Hill road and the Fish Camp for lunch. Ride back down Old Maple Hill road then up US-50 back to Grifton. So I will be at New River HD between 12:00 & 12:30pm depending if the wife can handle the cold. As far as for Mike wanting to ride in the mountains and Atlanta, does he mean T.W.O.? That is in the Mountains just north of Atlanta. As you know we are going the last weekend of March for March Badness. We are also planning a warm weather weekend where we are going to just go meet up with the 3%'ers and ride without the fuss of March Badness and if Atlanta does not have to be the destination, Jim has found some great roads around Wytheville VA which I would love to ride to one weekend during the season. The nice thing about Wytheville is that its only four hours away.   Sub65chris Posted on Saturday, February 10, 2007 - 12:30 pm:        Whats up is anyone going to be at the bojangles on sunday morning?   Nutsnbolt Posted on Saturday, February 10, 2007 - 02:56 pm:        More than likely.... There will be a TALL dude on a TDM 850 (Mike Morley) possibly my neighbor (Ron, Aprilia Futura), Matt (GSXR-750) and hopefully myself (XB9R). Usually pretty cold at 9 am but we seem to be the only ones who brave it. Could be another guy named Larry (CBR1000RR). I'll tell ya, if 1/2 of those guys show up, I'll be riding with Larry. It get's kinda fast with the other guys, at times. When I say fast I mean 120-150. But, I'm gonna definatley try to be out there and I will more than likely ride wherever Mike wants to ride. I'm actually heading out today in a little bit. See ya Mark   Sub65chris Posted on Saturday, February 10, 2007 - 06:26 pm:        sweet i will be there and another guy on a xb9sx will also probibly be there . I dont know about 120 -150 but i will definatly be there . se you there.   M2nc Posted on Saturday, February 10, 2007 - 08:32 pm:        Add one for the morning ride. All depending on when I get out the door, I will meet you at Bojanges in Jacksonville or on Old Maple Hill Rd. at 10am. Webe is going to meet up with me at Holland's Fish Camp at 12pm. Then we are riding to Moore's Creek. Sounds like fun and even though I have seen the north side of 130mph on two wheels, I rarely do it. I think Mike set a good pace last time. I would have gone a little faster in the curves but 70-80mph max on the straights is right up my alley. See ya in the morning   M2nc Posted on Saturday, February 10, 2007 - 08:39 pm:        Okay - There are four Bojanges in Jacksonville. Which one!   Sub65chris Posted on Saturday, February 10, 2007 - 09:29 pm:        the one right on highway 17 near the new bridge street just down from the kettle diner. before the taco bell .   Sub65chris Posted on Sunday, February 11, 2007 - 05:04 pm:        well the ride was fun ! mike is a very interesting guy. hopefully it warms up.   M2nc Posted on Sunday, February 11, 2007 - 06:59 pm:        Sorry I missed you guys. It was so cold this morning I went straight to Old Maple Hill Rd. Must have missed you guys. Webe met me at the Fish Camp and we rode to Moore's Creek and back. If you guys did not go to Old Maple Hill it was probably best because law enforcement was in the area. It seems that a State Trooper was either visiting someone on OMH or lives there because the patrol car was parked out front all day. Either way if we had more time Webe and I were going to go to opposite ends of the road both on our Orange Ulys and drive law enforcement nuts trying to figure how we were turning around so fast. Anyway - Sorry I missed you guys, it was a fun day. Put some 250-275 miles on the bike and this morning it was a mere 27°F outside when I left.   Sub65chris Posted on Sunday, February 11, 2007 - 07:39 pm:        yeha cops dnt get me down! we went to maysville and got some coffee at the hardees and came back .Mike was leading and we made so many turns i couldent find my way back the way we came with a map and directions . i think next week should warm up   Nutsnbolt Posted on Monday, February 12, 2007 - 09:50 pm:        Yeah, I got a late start. My neighbor, Ron, said you guys were there (Aprilia Futura) and I was just not up for goin in that cold. BUT.... around 1100 I headed out to Old Maple Hill then backed around to Haws Branch. Good Time. Didn't put too many miles on, that day. Had to go to HD New River to discuss my warped rotor and warranty. Should be handled soon. Better be, actually. I'm due to send my shock and forks into Trackside Engineering to get some work done for my girth!! Mark   Sub65chris Posted on Saturday, February 17, 2007 - 04:07 pm:        anyonw gfoing to go tommorow morning 18th feb? I will be at the hardees at 845 or so , lats week was way to fun to not go again. I will wear some warmer gloves though   M2nc Posted on Saturday, March 10, 2007 - 11:28 pm:        Planning to ride down in the morning. Weather is suppose to be beautiful.   Sub65chris Posted on Monday, March 12, 2007 - 08:43 pm:        sorry i have not been posting my computer has been in the shop. i went out late and didnt go to far due to nightfall. see yall later   M2nc Posted on Tuesday, March 13, 2007 - 10:08 pm:        Sorry you could not make it, it was a good turn out and a lot of fun riding with those guys.   Cyclone Posted on Saturday, March 17, 2007 - 08:01 am:        I was riding with them two weeks ago and luckily one of the guys noticed that my threads on my rear tire were showing. In one spot the threads were all most a inch wide! Those original 208's lasted only 2000 miles! I took off the wheels last night and I am going to take them in to get changed today hopefully. I did get the new rear shock on the M2 and she is already to go again.   M2nc Posted on Saturday, March 17, 2007 - 09:20 am:        I hopefully will get my M2 back on the road this weekend. I have a few oil leaks to deal with, the fuel line is rotten and needs replacing, motor & trans oil replace and she should be ready to roll. The Contiforce suck for mileage as well. The worse mileage I have had one any tire to date, but I usually run sport-touring tires. I got 2600 miles out of my first Conti rear - 4500 miles out of the front tire. The second Conti rear has just over 2000 miles and it is at the wear bars. I am going to change the tire out before MBIV   Cyclone Posted on Saturday, March 17, 2007 - 07:16 pm:        I have been really happy with the Avon Azaro's that I have on the M2. ( I'm not positive but I think I have between 8-10K miles on them). They will need to be changed soon though. I just put the New Avon Storm's on the Ss today. I am going to ride Sunday to scrub them in and see how they feel.   M2nc Posted on Sunday, March 18, 2007 - 12:20 pm:        Are the Storms the new Avon tire that they advertise will wear evenly throughout the radius of the tire? ie. No flat spot in the rear. I read something about that and was wondering how they will work. I will have to try out a set on the M2 when the D205s wear out.   Cyclone Posted on Friday, March 23, 2007 - 08:23 pm:        Well I am sure if all you did was ride in a straight line that would not be true but if they are better than the Azaro's that would be that much better! Because I love the Azaro's on the M2. For me they are the best tire that I have found for sport riding and long life. And if I am not mistaken they are made in USA. The name fits my bike too........Lightning /Storm.   Nutsnbolt Posted on Saturday, March 31, 2007 - 11:23 pm:        Sunday.. April 1, 2007... Will be there. THis is no April fools day joke. See ya Hope some show up.   Sub65chris Posted on Saturday, June 09, 2007 - 11:04 am:        anyone got your ears on?   Cyclone Posted on Saturday, June 09, 2007 - 01:16 pm:        I've got mine on. Are you riding tomorrow?   Sub65chris Posted on Saturday, June 09, 2007 - 03:21 pm:        depends on how tonight goes. what time are you going to be out?   Sub65chris Posted on Saturday, June 09, 2007 - 03:24 pm:        are there going to be some buells in the area?   Cyclone Posted on Saturday, June 09, 2007 - 05:58 pm:        I usually ride Sunday mornings over at Old Maple Hill Rd. I liked riding with Mike and them but I don't usually have that much time on my hands to ride on Sundays. Where do you ride? I would like to ride with some other Buells. I could meet you some where if you have time.   Sub65chris Posted on Saturday, June 09, 2007 - 10:49 pm:        kdind of busy over there at old maple hill . I rode there today for about 20 minuted and the place was a zoo, i had some guy on an r6 almost hit me and i was in my lane ! he blew the first 25mph corner and was in the left 1\3 of my lane.
