It's Time to Ride - First Time Motorcycle\Noobe

[DirtyD]

Different kind of riding, not into high speed track laps... I ride a bagger bro.

 

[alexrex20]

oh, are you that old?

 

[DirtyD]

Funny guy... Something to be said for a stereo on the bike. That, and as much fun as sport bikes are, I am smart enough to know how stupid I am. If it will do 180, then I am going to make sure....

 

[alexrex20]

Haha I've got cruisers and sport bikes. Each has their pros and cons.

I want something like this:

 

[DirtyD]

Going to do some work on the bagger, but probably going to start building a bobber this summer...

 

[alexrex20]

What we need is one of those fancy BMWs with AC and electric reverse.

 

[DirtyD]

Thats going to far towards a cage!

I'm not much of a Harley guy but I wouldn't mind having a Forty-eight to cruise around town on.

That's no excuse:



Damn...

 

[alexrex20]

Greg, did you get out for a ride today? I rode to a friend's house down the road and the wind was gusting something bad.

Yeah, seen this. Have a buddy that rides an Ultra Classic through the National Forest and up Honea-Egypt like that. The Harley touring frame bikes are INCREDIBLY agile.

 

[alexrex20]

Honea-Egypt used to be a lot of fun but now there's too much traffic. Way back when, I used it to dial in the suspension on my racecar.

 

[DirtyD]

Yeah, I find I have to play hooky from work and hit Honea-Egypt during the week, not bad on a Tuesday or Thursday. Going to be taking my bike up to Danny's on Honea-Egypt to do my cams in a couple of weeks.

I hit Tail of the Dragon when I drove my car home.from Virginia.
I you want some nice twisties around here you need to hit 3090.

Nah, didn't make it. I was planning to go for a short ride, but hung around too long and got handed a honey-do list before I could escape.

Done 3090 too, but last year there was a suspicious amount of gravel spread around...

1291 between New Ulm and Fayetteville is fun too, or 1458 (a.k.a Racer Road) between Brookshire and Sealy. I also like 1725 between New Waverly and Cleveland; not very twisty unless you're really hauling ass (so I've heard), but the pavement is smooth and there's usually no traffic.

 

[alexrex20]

I love 3090. When I was at A&M I would do my little 3090/30/6 loop late at night when I couldn't sleep.

Things start to get pretty windy up over 150. Pushes your head around quite a bit and makes it kinda hard to see clearly... (with a full face helmet on)

Gotta keep a full tuck & don't move your head ANY.
