I'll assume from Dave's respons in the other thread that he's in.
Anyone else want to meet up for drinks, food, and general BS ?
I'd suggest Brier Creek since it's somewhat central. The Wild Wing Cafe is pretty good. It's next to the Ale House.

Anyone else in?
Pencil me in as probable.
I still don't know what my summer school schedule's going to be, but I should be able to make it.
I'm out. I posted in the other thread, but I'll post here too.
I'll be in Myrtle Beach that week for a golf tournament. Hardley week is unfortunately that week, too, but it provides some really good entertainment.

What time are we meeting?
Who's riding?
Okay, I'm in. I'm not taking classes first summer session.
And +1 on what time? Does anyone have any time constraints to work around?
I'm in. I'm good for any time after business hours.

It was good for the moment, but the aftermath was....shall we say......ugly and painful.
I don't know what your collective deal was. I was fine! :P
Maybe my body just forgot about the wing sauce b/c I drank a copious quantity of alcohol later that night. ;D

Well, if you mean that hole I cut in my riding pants, then yes.
So, how about we meet up someplace this Thurs (05/22)? Doesn't have to include food and/or drink you know! Weather looks to be great. Nothing special going on anywhere else. My wife is out of town. Bike's running great even if it's not the cleanest it's ever been. Why not ride?

Just say when and where. The only issue I have is all the damn traffic in the evening that makes riding anywhere annoying.
Go South. The one good thing living in Pittsboro is there is not allot of traffic anytime. [moto]
I'm in for a get together tonight.
Just say when and where.
Oh, the pressure of the decision. Granted, it's just too nice to stay indoors so . . .
How about meet at Barnett's at 7:30 - 7:45 and then decide: eats or ride.
Speak up people!
My starter solenoid is fried and I couldn't get one locally today.
I'm waiting on one to get here from California.
Looks like still no riding for me. >:(

That guy neither breaks the back tire loose, nor rides into a ditch.

Yes I was at Barnetts from 7:30 - 7:45.
No no one else showed.
Yes I had a good ride before and after Barnetts (ya'll missed the Lambo convert on Western Blvd. nice pipes).
No I don't mind riding alone.
Yes I'll try again (to get people out during the week).

I go down Farrington to 64, then cut over to 751. I should be out in about an hour, maybe a little less.
My phone number is 704-477-7562.

That works. I just edited my post to tell you that. I'll see you there. Should take me about 45 minutes.
I met a few of you at Brier Creek last weekend on sennaster's old ride (with my own mods of course!)
Looks like the weather might let up for the weekend. Anyone up for a ride -or at least a beer? I'm in NRaleigh near Capital and the 540.
I'd probably be up for something on Saturday. I won't be able to get in more that short stints on the bike but I'd love to meet some more of the local Ducati nuts. [beer]
I might be in during the day. My night is booked, hookers and blow take up too much time.

Completely understandable. ;D
I need to get out and ride more. If anyone wants to ride, just shoot me a PM or post. I'm available most days.
I'm definitely going out for a while tomorrow if the weather permits. I got the first miles in on the new S4RS last night and had a blast. I'm looking forward to putting in some more miles over the weekend.
I'm going to do a loop of Shearon Harris tomorrow (24-Aug). If anyone is interested meet me at the old gas station ("New Hill Grocery" ?) on Old US 1 near New Hill Rd at 11am:

I am in.. but you will have to be a little patient with me.. looks like it will take me about 30 mins to get there, but I have no idea where the grocery is. how long is the ride?
Yeah, I'm up in n raleigh, but it's a nice ride around there and totally worth the trek.
Duration: I haven't taken this exact route before, but google thinks 1.5 hrs -so probably *1 hour in reality* as long as we don't get caught behind a boat or something. We can keep riding after that, but I wanted to have something with a definite start and end point for anyone that has a time limit.
Here is a rough approximation of the route:
Note (in case someone takes this route on thier own): point B is a bridge that will send you over the bars if you hit it at speed, but it's fairly easy to spot on the approach.

Crap! I wish I'd seen this yesterday. I wound up going out by myself late yesterday afternoon and doing about 100 miles. If I'd seen this ahead of time I'd definitely have joined up! If anyone does anything next weekend (8/30-8/31) definitely post up or PM me. I'd organize something myself but I still have no idea where the good riding spots around here are.
Despite a few detours, we had a good ride, there are some fun roads out there! I am down for doing it again next weekend too. Just need to plan a bit better route. [moto]

I am sure we can figure something out. Google satellite maps can come in handy.
FYI, I might be doing loop frompittsboro on 902 over to asheboro, old liberty rd and back to pittsboro loop this weekend depending on weather. plans are tentative at the moment but if anyone's interested we can try to work something out.
here's the route i've done in the past...wow, that's a big hyperlink.

What's the latest on the run this weekend? I have some things to do here and there but I'll be looking to put some miles on at some point (actually probably several points) this weekend and this looks like a fun route.
I'm working on scheduling and I'll keep you posted. Looking more like Sunday but possibly Monday. I usually go earlier in the morning to beat heat/rain chances.

Sounds good. Sunday and/or Monday actually work better with my schedule anyway.
Looks like Sunday is the plan. For those of you in Morrisville interested in meeting up, there is a gas station at the intersection of 64 and Farrington Rd. Turn rt off 64 and I'll be there. I'd rather be earlier than later so I shoot for 830 but 9 would be fine if its a problem.

Either works for me. I'll plan on being there at 8:30 unless somebody posts up otherwise.
830 it is. see ya then.
Great ride today Shane! Thanks for inviting me along, it was a pleasure riding with you.
Sorry I didnt make it, how many people went?

Just Shane (Paradux) and myself. Met up down on Farrington and 64 at 8:30 this morning and I got home at about 11:30 or so. We only made one stop, the rest was all seat time. Good roads, great weather. It was a good time.
I'd have joined you guys, but my work weary eyelids didn't part until well after nine o'clock.
Was good ridin' with ya, Noel. Great day for it. The turtles were out to get us. Counted 6 in the road today!

I wasn't counting the turtles but I can remember at least 4 without even trying hard. That was pretty strange!
