Title: IZ back in AZ
Post by: IZ on September 01, 2009, 04:38:52 AM
Not sure how long I'll be back in town? I just wanted to come back to a familiar place with lots of sun and a good bunch of Ducatisti to ride with! Tom Hull is fixing the Monster this week but it should be ready to go for short runs up South Mtn and Tortilla Flats by next week!

BTW...I have to comment on the virtual explosion of cameras on the freeways and intersections! Also, the number of cops laying in wait around Tempe, Chandler & Gilbert is out of control! Is it even fun or safe to ride around here anymore? Not that I like to..or can really speed on my lil' 620..but WTH is the deal?!?

Welcome back. Let us know as soon as you are ready to ride. Also, if you need a place to hang out Tuesday night, the TT Roadhouse is always a good time.

I Zeeeee! 

The cops and cameras just make for a more interesting game of cat and mouse.  I don't spend much time running around town on the bike, at least not at crazy speeds. (I said much time guys!) Most of my spirited riding is out of town, and out of town the enforcement seems about normal.  Gotta pay attention for the cameras, but from what I hear they rarely send tickets to bikes because it's hard to identify the rider through the helmet.

You should try to make it out to bike night at the TT if you get a chance.  A couple of us will be there tonight....

A certain IZ spotted on Rio Salado near the ASU football stadium around 10:00am. Bike is apparently up and going. Nice sunglasses by the way.  ;)

just your typical H-D dealership shirts from around the country, so nothing to worry about.

Oh yeah!!  For sure had one of those on!!   [roll]

H-D dealerships are becoming comparable to CVS drugstores.  One on every corner!!
