Riding.

This one won't be nearly as long or nearly as technical as the last one but expect to be on the bike for at least 12+ hours, we'll cover anywhere from 400-500 miles depending on whether or not anyone crashes... hopefully not as these rides I'm sure have a bad rap by now  .

The usual procedures apply -
- You need to prove that you're legally able to own and operate your motorcycle and have all your paperwork in order; have an "M" endorsement on your license, have current registration and insurance, have a valid license plate number and current inspection. We will not wait for you or bail you out if we get pulled over and you're not legal. Other than that, The Usual Suspects DO NOT leave another rider behind, just ask Jake and Tommy about that.
- Full gear isn't required but it's highly recommended. I don't like riding with squids and jeans don't count as gear. Most of the roads that I choose are either very technical in nature or aren't really roads at all (dirt).
- Speed limits will be obeyed EVERYWHERE unless we are on a back road or I think being above the speed limit is appropriate. Once on a back road it's every man/woman for themselves, I'll wait at the next turnoff. All the rules of the road will also be obeyed throughout the day BUT (and it's a big but), we have on occasion been known to instill some good old hooliganism on the trip back home mostly due to hunger, fatigue, crankiness, bumper to bumper traffic and so on, so at these times it's rare for the group to stay together. However, on these rides I encourage you to ride at your own pace and comfort level, nobody is forcing anything on you and it is NOT a race, but when those Rockin' Fries are calling out to you, you have no choice but to heed their call.
- EZ pass isn't required but it sure is convenient for the group as a whole.
- These rides are all about the riding so other than gas stops, there will be no stopping for food until we're almost home. Quick snacks at the gas station? Fine, a sit down meal? Not so much.

Can probably squeeze in 1 or 2 more if somebody volunteers to be a well behaved and attentive sweeper. Or you guys can switch off doing sweeping duties, doesn't matter to me as long as I get that wave when I'm trying to regroup.

I haven't set the meet time/place yet because I still have to plot a route (although I know where I want to go and how I want to get there). We'll either meet at Gorilla or at the 2nd gas station on the PIP (it's unlikely though).

Post up if you're interested in coming along, space is limited.

Just checked the forecast for the area/s where we're going to be venturing into...

Sunny with high's in the 90°s... better start drinking that water now...

I'm down if it works for ya, GC.  I can start as early as you need, but will need to bail the group to be back in the city by 7pm-ish.  Happy to give up my spot to someone who can make the whole trip.

I cant this weekend, have fun though and keep the rubber side down! [moto]

Awaiting 1 part!!  (new oxygen sensor - how THAT broke I have NO idea).

Count me in, and I will confirm by Thursday noon!!

90! 

I will show up in shorts and sandals.  Just kiddin, tailbag and camelback with a block of ice in it. 

Don't get dehydrated drink up in the morning, maybe eat some bananas too.

In regards to the weather... going to get a textile jacket during my lunch hour today. I'm also going to be rocking a cooling vest (soak it in water and the water slowly evaporates as you ride along). Probably will be doing the frozen camelback bladder thing too...

90s!  I guess I'll finally get a chance to really where my textile jacket....

I'll be there..  daisy dukes and work boots ...
