Unfortunately, I will be out of town at that time. Will have to catch up another weekend.

Nice for you to surface finally.
Chip asked about you yesterday. We thought you'd moved back to Delaware!
Send us a mail and tell us what's been going on since last summer.

Hey guys,
M1100 Evo owner here, I currently live in RVA. Looking to catch up with other Monster riders in the area to ride. I know every sunday there is a group ride the meets at the Carillon at noon (Reddit RVAMotorcycles group). I met Curmudgeon a few weeks back at Poe's Pub, see you on Sunday at the vintage show.

Hopefully Narflar will show up as he dropped by briefly last year. He's riding a black EVO. I'll probably ride the 796 over because I rode the T-100 last year. It's nearer to the door.
Narflar, Narflar!!!
Not to jinx us but the weather is looking ideal..., so no excuses!
If my Triumph Mechanic shows up, I'll introduce you. They made him Pres. of the BMW Club because it really isn't BMW, but almost everything else European too. He probably rides fast enough for you. I might on a good day.
That club also meets in Richmond which is a turnoff for me since I usually head west from here toward the mountains and empty, nice roads...

My son says some of these guys ride a bit slow...
We can talk about this on Sunday. And bear in mind that Bikes-in-the-Bottom is EVERY 2nd Sunday of the month at Poe's. Turnout is usually even better than last month when you dropped by. Depends on the wearher naturally.

Sounds good to me. I was a member of the Richmond Riders for awhile, great bunch of guys. I sold my GS and 748 and took a breather as wife and I went back to Japan for quite awhile. Now we're back, new Duc in the stable and looking at a Multistrada for a cross country tour.
Weather is going to be superb this weekend, can't wait to get out and refill my road rage tank from Virginia drivers not knowing what turn signals are or what the term "yield" actually means.

Funny...
If you mean that they always stop in the middle of the road, even to make a right turn..., yes indeed, I find that pretty curious. Consider it a challenge to figure out what they are going to do next..., before THEY do.

Heh. What's with these guys never "missing their turn", instead stopping in the middle lane waiting for traffic to pass on the left before making their obvious missed turn? Don't they teach them that they can do a u-turn up ahead and circle back here? Mindboggling.

I am greatly comforted by others observing how incredibly awful VA drivers are. They somehow manage to be slow and dangerously reckless at the same time. Although I have now live in (No)VA for 11+ years, I will never become a "VA driver".
Buy the Multistrada. The only danger is that you might find yourself riding the Monster a LOT less.

Well, for some reason I'm not getting any email notifications for this thread or PMs. So, I've been out of the loop.
I'll check my settings...
Anyway, bike is at Richmond Superbike. Needed belts and an oil change. I'll be picking her up tomorrow (Saturday). Should be good riding weather. Anyone up for a ride?

Not a bad description! I've got a few theories but the subject might merit a doctoral thesis.
I'm 1/3 of the way to Charlottesville from Richmond and while there ARE still a few slow drivers out here, the pace of traffic picks up quite a bit. In fact, some of the pickups out here approach warp speed and even make good "rabbits" for the
when I'm out on one of the bikes. Go figure!

Well look at that, I got an email....
I'll probably grab some lunch at 23rd & Main or Propper Pie after I pick up the bike. So I'll be in the Church Hill area. I'm up for whatever. All the roads I know are west of richmond but I'm up to getting lost anywhere.
Kirigakure, I take it from your bike you're the same guy that messaged me on Reddit?

Notifications were down for a month or more but DP appears to have fixed them. Try logging out and back in as well.
Houston's show is on SUNDAY. I'll probably arrive ~ 11 AM and stay a while if they give me a lawn chair.
Why don't you ride out again and see whether you can interest anyone? You KNOW the best riding is WEST from there anyway. My favorite ride is out Cosby Rd. west of Rt. 522 all the way to Cartersville. There are other loops across the river north of there. I usually do them during the week though when they are empty...
