Title: New member here in Charleston looking for anyone to ride with...
Post by: lowcountry on January 10, 2011, 04:53:04 PM
Hey guys, super tired of riding by myself.  My number is 843-607-3148.  I'm always up for riding (as long as it isn't raining or I'm at work).  Shoot me a text if you're looking for someone to ride with next time you go out.  Looking forward to meeting some of you guys.  I'm willing to ride up towards Columbia/Beaufort/Myrtle Beach/wherever to meet up and ride.  Let me know!
Chip

Sweet! I'm down in Beaufort. My bike is inop while I do some upgrades and maintenance, but once I get it all back together (and the weather warms up some. Freezing rain? WTF?) I'm all for getting together.

Oh, and welcome!  [beer]

Bike's an '06 Sport 1000 with BoomTubes.

Hoping to have everything done and buttoned up by the end of February. It'll all depend on how far I really feel like tearing into the motor and wiring.

You're on a 696, yes?

Oh, that's a beautiful bike.  I'm looking forward to seeing that up close.  Yes, I have an '09 696 with a termi kit on it.  I probably should have gotten the 1100, but I didn't have the money at the time.  Did you have some sort of failure on your Duc, or are you just tinkering with it?

I don't have any first-hand experience with the newer-generation monsters, but if they're as fun and easy to ride as the older ones then I can't really see the 696 coming up short anywhere besides displacement. Hell, I think it's got more horsepower than my bike. The 1100 just gives you a bit more *grunt* and some shiny doodads.

Just tinkering.  :) Doing some upgrades I've been putting off for a while, and it's due for a valve adjustment and belt replacement. Superbike forks, 999 wheels, new clip-ons, heated grips, better brakes, etc, etc. I've been amassing parts for, like, a year and a half and I'm just now getting around to tearing into the thing.

Nice bikes guys!

There are quite a few Duc riders in Charleston.  We are planning some riding dates in April/May in the mountains (Sapphire area) and track days.

If you guys are willing and able, let me know.
