Need4Speed 06-25-2005, 09:19 PM So many of us are going to the carlisle show..on different days and such..but what's everybody's normal schedule as far as free time to ride. There's enough of us here that we can get a good group going and hit the twisties.
im normally available saturday and sunday mornings..but if given enough notice, I can probably do afternoons as well.
itgirl25 06-25-2005, 10:25 PM i work sat. and sun. til 4pm, so my free time usually is in the evening. i know, that doesn't help much, does it?
Grafixx01 06-26-2005, 12:38 AM Well, if I was still in NY, I'd meet up with everyone from PA.

R1up0n1 06-26-2005, 09:43 PM I'm off work at 3:30 M-F so I'm on the bike everyday out for a ride, and I'm off every weekend.
jeeps84 06-26-2005, 10:18 PM Ill just have to wait till you guys come down here.

Grafixx01 06-27-2005, 12:51 AM Damn, ur as bad as gas man.. :whore: ing in threads completely out of your area! He's been rubbing off on you way too much!! :yikes:
Hey now, I'm trying to stay out of the "Women's Corner" at least!
jeeps84 06-27-2005, 03:51 AM What's the date for you guys to come down here?
Gas Man 06-27-2005, 11:47 AM Hey N4S... the only I do is wish you guys a safe ride!!! Dang...I'm not as bad as Graff! :D
zx636r 06-27-2005, 11:49 AM i can do weekends in the morning, but lately i havent even seen my bike, i have been drinking alot and i dont ever get the bike out casue i knwo im gonna be drinking and those 2 things just dont mix. but if anyone ever wants to go just send a message n ask for the cell.
Aggroton 06-27-2005, 06:55 PM i have every thursday and friday off...me and my buddy usally ride monday nites around 930...and the first sunday of every month theres a big ride at the silver spring diner...not all sport bikes but its a lot of fun and decent breakfast food...i think people start showing up around six and thenride for 2-3 hours after a good grubbin...but yeah ill go ride anytime...as long as the wifey says i can.
Need4Speed 06-27-2005, 11:46 PM The ephreta run that everybody does the first sunday of the each month. Ive been on that a couple times, that's always a blast!
OK, so we got it down that most everyone is free on a saturday late afternoon or evening. Perhaps, as long as, it girl, doesnt mind; we could all go for a ride, and then meet up at the mechanicsburg Hooters for some wings and chill out.
Or, wherever.. Denny's is always fun late at night too :lol:
R1up0n1 06-27-2005, 11:51 PM I'll be out of town once again this weekend riding with the KY group. I rode with Aggrtron tonight at 10:00 till about 11:30. He's way on the slow side for me, I had to pass and stay in the front. I have never seen someone ride ON the yellow line and cross into the other lane so much on a semi-str8 road! But he is just learning with his antique Yamaha that tops out at 75 or so. Hopefully he upgrades soon.. He's a cool guy tho.
Need4Speed 06-28-2005, 12:15 AM I love the late nite rides.. it seems I get to ride more at night than I do during the day.
zx636r 06-28-2005, 09:18 AM hooters might be a good idea, i think i knwo a girl that works there, i will ahve to check n see if she still does
Aggroton 06-28-2005, 09:29 AM yeah thanks for not smokin us.

Gas Man 06-28-2005, 11:57 AM N4S..why don't you guys go practice wheelies and eating compact cars on the circuit??? That's always fun!
3BoyzNaBike 06-28-2005, 12:04 PM N4S..why don't you guys go practice wheelies and eating compact cars on the circuit??? That's always fun!
See, I'm thinking they need you guys to come down here and remind them of how it is done! :wink: :cheers:
Gas Man 06-28-2005, 12:46 PM I may have to see what I can do! Maybe the TWF Charslie thing!

We'll see! Aren't you suppose to be coming out here this summer?
lucky 06-29-2005, 09:50 AM I avoid the "circuit" at night for the most part i used to live on philadelphia and am only 2 blocks back from it now. Unless i am headed to a bar or passing through, i just cant get into it. Now if the street rods are in town or bike night thats different i can get into that. I know how you guys feel about hd and bike night is the friday of the york plants open house so thats pretty much all it is.
zx636r 06-29-2005, 03:03 PM IF we do hooters can we do it on like a tuesday night or something. that way i can go straigth from work. lol yeah im lazy
Need4Speed 06-30-2005, 07:42 PM We'll see! Aren't you suppose to be coming out here this summer?
Yeah we're trying too.. depends on the vacation time left after the gap.. Missy works every weekend, so its hard for her to get off on a saturday and sunday..
Need4Speed 06-30-2005, 07:44 PM OK, so we've decided it's riding then hooters afterwards..now, what night do we do it? hhhmmmm
Do we wanna shoot for a weeknight, like 636r mentioned?
zx636r 06-30-2005, 07:45 PM only weeknight i can due is mon or tue. i could prob do like a sat or sun afternoon too.

It doesn't matter to me, everyday is fine with me, as long as its not this weekend starting tomorrow because I will be out of town until Monday evening.
Gas Man 06-30-2005, 09:18 PM Which ever night you guys do it... make sure you bring back some good pics!
Gas Man 06-30-2005, 09:19 PM Yeah we're trying too.. depends on the vacation time left after the gap.. Missy works every weekend, so its hard for her to get off on a saturday and sunday..
Good deal...make sure you let me know..so I can tell ya if I'm off...that obviously would be better....

Need4Speed 07-01-2005, 12:19 AM ok so SV and 636 are ok w/ a weeknight.. how bout you IT girl & lucky ?
itgirl25 07-01-2005, 07:06 AM weeknights work for me.
lucky 07-01-2005, 07:56 PM saturdays are usually the best for me. week nights arent good i work 3rd and i usually sleep in the evenings.
Need4Speed 07-02-2005, 12:07 AM What time do u usually get up for work?
lucky 07-29-2005, 03:07 PM has any one rode 74 north of carlisle to port royal. I did it today and I cant wait to do it again. Some good twisty mountain roads. it made me realize i need to work on my cornering. Keep an eye out for trucks though. had one come across the yellow on a blind corner.
zx636r 07-29-2005, 04:38 PM yeha i rode it with a couple of guys and a girl on another forum. www.tristateriders.com they have group rides like every weekend.
Need4Speed 07-29-2005, 05:15 PM That sounds like a great ride, we should all do that !
CharlieMavCBR 07-31-2005, 10:14 PM Matt...You pretty much know my schedule...It just really depends If ALlen has a DJ gig and so-forth. But you know my evenings are pretty much free except for Wednesday becaue that's my current bowling night.
The only draw-back is I'm still learning and still pretty slow. Haven't done ANY heavy traffic areas or have NO experience on the highway. HOWEVER...The mig 28...er.....(sorry...) AHEM...However...I do like night riding. Not very much traffic; just have to watch out for the little critters that like to creep at night. ;) :lol:
R1up0n1 07-31-2005, 10:22 PM Cool lets go rideing!!! I'm ready anytime.
jeeps84 08-01-2005, 01:21 AM SV When are you coming back down here?
R1up0n1 08-02-2005, 05:09 PM Ok PA, is anyone going on the Ephreta ride this sunday, or is it even happening this sunday?
R1up0n1 08-02-2005, 05:10 PM SV When are you coming back down here?
I am shooting for either end of August or early September. It killing me!!! I'd hate to come down by myself, but if I have to..I will.
Need4Speed 08-02-2005, 09:06 PM I'd like to do the ephreta run this month, but not sure w/ my rear tire showing some wear. As far as I know though, its still on.

You still haven't replaced that rear tire??? Where does everyone meet up for this ride?
Gas Man 08-03-2005, 03:51 PM No crap SV...he needs to load that kat up with some pilot powers...
Need4Speed 08-10-2005, 09:12 PM HE, as you so eloquently put it.. Can see the wear cords on the rear tire in about 4 spots.. and HE cant get a new rear tire yet, hopefully ordering it this weeked. So HE can go on the ephreta run the first sunday of september! :D
oh, and HE is getting Metzler M1 'techs. 107.00 for the 160 rear on americanmotortire..because HE has done his research on the best tires for Kats.

My SV uses a 160 on the rear..go with a Pirelli Diablo you won't be disappointed!!
jeeps84 08-10-2005, 10:43 PM No crap SV...he needs to load that kat up with some pilot powers...
Do they even make a Power to fit the Kat's
Need4Speed 08-10-2005, 11:11 PM Actually they do, its not specifically designed for kats, but you can make a set fit pretty nicely. Know of several people that have them. But they are alittle pricey, and the Metz. M1's are very good quality tires...hell anything is better than crapadams :lol:

I use to run the M's (good tire) Till my tire man switched to Pirellis. No he is pizzed at me for running Powers.
Need4Speed 08-10-2005, 11:28 PM I know Gas swears by the powers, but my checkbook swears at me too when it see's the price difference ;)
Gas Man 08-11-2005, 07:25 AM What are you talking N4S!! You can get the set of Powers for the same price as your shi**y Mets!
Best tire for a Kat? :crazy: That is all in perspective...what are the idiots that are telling you this doing with their Kats? Are they killing the twisties or put put putin around? You know what I mean? Yeah those might be the best for a OE replacement but who says you have to put a OE replacement aka sport tour tire on the Kat?
On the WOS board...a guy posted that you can now get a set of Pilot Powers for $255 a SET!! At gixxer.com! So there... that should make your checkbook happy and even cheaper than your little Mets!!
Sorry to jack your thread!!
jeeps84 08-11-2005, 10:00 AM I thought those prices were fading away.
Need4Speed 08-11-2005, 11:51 PM Ive done some more research in the last 24 hours or so, and also found some Strada's for a great price too.
When I say best for a Kat, these are people that rail the twisties on a daily basis with the best of them, but still ride alot of straight boring roads at times too. They are a good combination of tire that will hold up thru everyday riding. Not one prone to flat spots, or that will wear out after a solid year of riding. Obviously that varies on how much and how you ride, but they are a good solid tire that can rail and still hold up well to the pressures of just plain old everyday riding where ur not draggin a knee on every curve. Plus they are reasonably priced. SO THERE !! :neen:
Anywho, as I was saying I found some good prices on strada's as well as the Metz M1's so we'll see !
Gas Man 08-12-2005, 09:52 AM Nope...VETO... get the powers... I'm call :wbs: :D

Katanaman has Pirelli Stratas on his Kat and loves em.
Need4Speed 08-22-2005, 11:01 PM I got the 411 on a guy who works for cyclegear and they are having a grand opening at new store down south..pilot powers shipped for 99.00!! :willy:

awsome I need a new rear tire bad!! I have cords showing about 4 inches wide! :yikes: But I don't like mismatching tires, a pirilli diablo with a power...hmm i donno!
Gas Man 08-23-2005, 09:53 AM I got the 411 on a guy who works for cyclegear and they are having a grand opening at new store down south..pilot powers shipped for 99.00!! :willy:
Are you serious Matt? I want a set!! I don't need them now but I will....S**t sign me up for 2 sets!
marko138 08-25-2005, 05:43 AM Are you guys still trying to organize some group rides? I'm down if you are.
Oh and btw...74 is a nice road. Anyone ever gone over 233 from Newville to Perry County? That is one hell of a twisty road through the state park.
