LOL about the crashing comment.

Sorry about the wallet.

yeah that road is no joke man.... but all is squared away with my stuff that was in my wallet and my keys. I think.

McCrimmon · 05-26-2009, 03:34 AM

I got in 202 miles yesterday covering parts of NC as well as my area. Explored some "new to me" roads and it was a blast

Route

Click "Include large map" in my link to view the map of my route

A few pics...
This road was quite fun...lots of twisties and elivation changes and very high speed...Triple digits were easily accessible here

and no cars, houses for 90% of this road ... Made for good Hooligan fun

I used one of the No Trespassing signs to put under my kick stand

Got spurts of rain on the way home but nothing severe and cut it close on gas

I went 150 miles before I found a station and my fuel gauge was flashing and my Reserve Fuel Trip counted to 12 miles...I was sweating it

All in all...A fun safe day

Snikwad · 05-26-2009, 05:47 AM

looks like you rode thru a bit of sandbanks. one of my fav places. i miss there.

nice pics, and i still like that bike, but i think it has potential to look more aggresive.

Don't miss it as much since Rt 56.
You can do 40 on Rt56 and you have accomplished something.
Sandbanks does not even get fun till about 90.

Yup...First time to Sandbank Rd. Loads of fun

I rode the whole road. Hit it from the north end first road it all the way to 13 and then road back, took pics and hit it again but a little harder since I was familiar this time. Way cool that it's just Road, Weeds, Sand and like 4 houses

I had lots of fun.

As far as the FZ ... I considering going Euro with it at some point or I'm gonna put on a different windscreen that flows with the front end more ... I'm undecided. For now I'm content with it.

The Pilot Roads felt good out there yesterday. That was the hardest I've pushed em so far. I had the back end attempt to spin a little coming out of one corner twice but nothing drastic. Very fun road

Very true...Sandbank is a very fast road. 2nd time thru I ran at least 70-100 most of the time and bumped it up to 120-130 on a few straights but wasn't trying to kill it.

Rt 56 is next on my list. Plan on hitting it in a few weeks. Maybe 2 weekends from now

marylandmike · 05-26-2009, 06:00 AM

Great pics Chris and the Sandbanks are nice! What better way to spend the day.

Yup...was fun indeed...Bike is a mess though. The spurts of rain I hit got it all kinds a dirty

It needs a serious bath now

Simpson · 05-26-2009, 07:27 AM

Nice! Didn't see the txt until couple hours later. We were on the 750 riding around sandbanks and your house. Looked like a fun ride.

McCrimmon · 05-26-2009, 08:06 AM

Gotcha

This weekend I'll be escorting Laurin around for her first solo rides on the Intruder. Your welcome to hang with us but it will be terribly boring.

We just got our MSF training completed last weekend with Alex and should be getting the M class added to her license today or tomorrow. Who knows maybe I'll be adding a couple mo peeps to our VB crew.

McCrimmon · 06-05-2009, 12:40 PM

Sounds like a good time for you to put around on the 360

that will be her pace for a while

Had you given a guy a heads up...I would've done the course with you guys

...I'll be doing the advanced course next time it has a Sat am slot available...Next Sat's am slot is already full

McCrimmon · 06-07-2009, 08:20 PM

Blue Ridge Parkway ride today...What a blast.

Few things learned...

Need a Corbin saddle

Need the big Touring windscreen for long trips

Need to get a new helmet soon...mine is getting a little loose

Corbin seat may be ok, but don't waste your money on the factory Yamaha gel seat. Ordered one for your FZ1, rode it 20 miles (hard as a rock) and put it on ebay and sold it. Glad you had a good ride today, No riding for me today, but plan on some seat time tomorrow.

Ya I remember you tellin me about the gel seat...I had a corbin on my VTR...It was nice. I may look into one for this bike in the future

McCrimmon · 07-03-2009, 08:19 AM

Heading out for a ride...Dont' know where...Where ever I want to go I suppose.

Anyone that has my number that may want to join in, feel free to shoot me a text or call me. If I dont respond right away that means I'm on the bike

I'll check my phone periodicly.

Have a good day and good weekend all...be smart, be safe!

bloaker · 07-03-2009, 11:34 AM

You missed my morning ride.... Woke up around 5:30... hit the rode by 6:15. Absolutely beautiful this morning!

McCrimmon · 07-03-2009, 02:14 PM

kinda hard to be a part of it if you dont tell anyone. I was up at 4:45am ... at the gym by 5:30am and have been out riding since 11am ... Been out through Williamsburg, Surry, etc. Back at da beach killin time before my daughters ice skating program at 5pm

bloaker · 07-03-2009, 05:36 PM

Did not know I would wake up that early. Is it cool to txt you when I do?

McCrimmon · 09-25-2009, 06:16 AM

Luke...I'm definitely liking this for Sunday...
MAP

Problem is the weather. As of today they are calling for late pm showers on Sat and am showers on Sunday

I'm cleared to ride if the weather permits. What are they saying in your neck of the woods?

Basspiece919 · 09-25-2009, 06:35 AM

I think its probably going to be a no go, its supposed to rain all day today and tomorrow so even if its nice sunday there will be wet leaves.

McCrimmon · 09-25-2009, 06:38 AM

Yup...Thats what I was thinking...Figures

Simpson · 09-25-2009, 07:06 AM

Gives me time to get more tie straps and hit other maintenance items.

Basspiece919 · 09-25-2009, 08:08 AM

It has been POURING all day so far here and it doesnt look like its going to stop. I am not going sunday. Even if it stopped raining right now rt56 would still be wet and covered in leaves and debris on sunday, and my tire is shot. Lets make it happen asap though.

Understood. If it's nice here on Sunday, I will ride local for a bit.

As far as when it will happen again for me...The end of October will be best I could do

Long range forcast is looking like clear sunny weather.
Just bookmarking ride ideas...

Remember this ride?
from:Caratoke Hwy/US-158 to:US-264/US-64 to:E Church St to:36.401389,-76.326141 - Google Maps

Other idea for maybe a slow scenic historical 2up trip to Appromattox
from:Newtown Rd to:37.217206,-77.387695 to:US-460 W - Google Maps

Tangier Trip
from:Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel/US-13 to:Seaside Rd to:Seaside Rd to:Seaside Rd to:Seaside Rd to:Seaside Rd to:37.710443,-75.747986 - Google Maps

bloaker · 09-25-2009, 05:49 PM

Tangier trip is the best of the three.
The other two will f'n bore you to death.
I have been on every section of those roads... not necessarily back to back, but every section..... Not good.

While on the Eastern Shore, you could do a tour of all the little waterfront towns. Cape Charles is pretty... Kiptopeke state park is quiet... etc...

Simpson · 09-25-2009, 05:59 PM

Just kicking some ideas around to see if some of the Virginia guys are interested. The Triumph Trophy would be good for all.

Pending you have the time

McCrimmon · 09-25-2009, 06:51 PM

So are you saying you wanna ride Sunday?

From another member.......... but I am not sure I am free....... so I have not told him.......... but it will be fun......... might trailer the Husky behind the Civic..... so I can go play in the dirt near his house......... might........

When you said 2 up, I figured you were talking about the 750.

I will ride by myself or possibly with Amy this Sunday if the weather turns out ok.
