In light of the happy news that one of the Usual Suspects that we thought was leaving is now
not leaving (YAAAY!!), I've planned a special ride. It will also be Dizz's last ride for a while since he'll be away for most of June. This ride will be LONG. Not so much in mileage, but you can expect to be on your bike for quite some time... figure around 500 miles, all of it on back road twistys. Most of it on very technical roads.
I'd like to try to keep the size of the group smallish so if you are not a Usual Suspect, please secure and confirm your spot asap.
The usual procedures apply -
- You need to prove that you're legally able to own and operate your motorcycle and have all your paperwork in order; have an "M" endorsement on your license, have current registration and insurance, have a valid license plate number and current inspection. We will
not wait for you or bail you out if we get pulled over and you're not legal. Other than that, The Usual Suspects DO NOT leave another rider behind, just ask Jake and Tommy about that.
- Full gear isn't required but it's highly recommended. I don't like riding with squids and jeans don't count as gear. Most of the roads that I choose are either very technical in nature or aren't really roads at all (dirt).
- Speed limits will be obeyed EVERYWHERE unless we are on a back road or I think being above the speed limit is appropriate. Once on a back road it's every man/woman for themselves, I'll wait at the next turnoff. All the rules of the road will also be obeyed throughout the day BUT (and it's a big but), we have on occasion been known to instill some good old hooliganism on the trip back home mostly due to hunger, fatigue, crankiness, bumper to bumper traffic and so on, so at these times it's rare for the group to stay together. However, on these rides I encourage you to ride at your own pace and comfort level, nobody is forcing anything on you and it is NOT a race, but when those Rockin' Fries are calling out to you, you have no choice but to heed their call.
- EZ pass isn't required but it sure is convenient for the group as a whole.
- These rides are all about the riding so other than gas stops, there will be no stopping for food until we're almost home. Quick snacks at the gas station? Fine, a sit down meal? Not so much.
For this ride, the usual meet up times and places do not apply. I'll let you via pm know when and where once you're 100% confirmed for the ride. Remember, space it limited so get on board early!
Having said all that, came on out, it's gonna be a blast!
