Monthly Ducati Ride

[Speed 3 Pilot]

Nice ride today, had a lot of fun...you guys make me feel 50 again...

Good enough ride for the part that I was on. Could have done without the trip through Kaneohe though. I almost bailed at that intersection where we went left.

Rode thru Tantalus after lunch, it was wet...   Would have enjoyed norfolk more if we did a round trip.

what a nice turn out.

towards the end of the ride, i was getting sketchy. don't know if it was lack of sleep, new gpr, or changing my riding style.

btw love the gpr, but it does feel different.

[MadDuck]

It's supposed to feel different I suppose but not intrusive. Funny about getting sketchy. Me too. The pre-lim ride went well & I had a good feel going. Same for the first part of the Ducati ride but after we stopped at the top of Norfolk I felt like l lost my timing or something.

Nice that we were blessed with two fine days of riding weather. I woke up this morning and it was raining all over on the windward side.

Just got the text from Jose, Ducati ride this Saturday (9/11).  Meet at SSD @ 10:30, ride out 11:00.  Plan to be there?

[Speed 3 Pilot]

I should be there...

I didn't either, nor did I last month...

It came as a text message to my phone. He is going to be off island and asked Brandon to lead.

[whackie]

wow, sounds like he's slacking.. jk.

i'm actually kind of surprised it lasted this long. maybe i'll send a msg to ranillo to do the facebook thing, in case he didn't get the message either.

Jose' asked a guy who rides a BMW to lead a Ducati ride.        WAIT! I have it! We'll put Brandon on my bike and I'll take his.  

[DRKWNG]

WAIT! I have it! We'll put Brandon on my bike and I'll take his.  

Just to ring home the point that he bought the wrong bike?

Not even. Just angling for a semi-unencumbered test ride. I can wait until after it's broken in, as if I'd have the guts to twist it on.

Decent ride today considering we were trying to avoid traffic...smaller group than usual with a couple of new guys...put 110+ miles on the SF...
